WOOD Flash – Severstal: 1Q20 trading update – weak coal volumes, and pricing down 5.5% qoq

Severstal published its 1Q20 trading update today (14 April). Volumes were broadly as expected, with consolidated steel sales up 4% qoq/-3% yoy. A scheduled longwall repositioning resulted in a 29% qoq fall in coking coal volumes, but this was expected. However, there was a 5.5% drop in average prices, despite price indices rising qoq from the lows of 4Q19, as sales occur with a lag. We see this as a negative for Severstal.
