WOOD Flash – Ferrexpo: 2H19 financial results – in line with consensus, but dividend decision deferred

Ferrexpo published its 2H19 financial results today (18 March), following a steel decline in iron ore pellet prices in 2H19. The EBITDA fell 43% hoh and 20% yoy, to USD 214m (close to the consensus, but 9% below our estimate), with the FCF falling 40% hoh, to USD 85m, 10% above our estimate. This should be no surprise, however, as approximate sales, cash costs and net debt were all announced in advance.
