Mechel's Hardware Production Upgrade Project Wins State Support
5:30 am ET April 18, 2019 (Globe Newswire)
Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR; NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian mining and metals company, reports that the Supervisory Board of Russia's Industry and Trade Ministry's Industrial Development Fund approved a low-interest loan to Mechel Group's Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant for upgrading its wire and rope production facilities.
The project's cost will total 1.5 billion rubles, with the Industrial Development Fund footing the bill for 50% of this sum, or 750 million rubles. The loan's maturity is five years. The project includes a large-scale technical upgrade of Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant's wire and rope production facilities and installation of new level-type wire drawing equipment. The upgrade will enable the plant to produce the types of wire Russia is currently importing, with high quality characteristics including plastic properties, surface finish and full-length mechanical uniformity. Springs, ropes and other products made from such wires will have a longer life expectancy.
The project also includes implementing best available technologies which will yield additional effect of minimizing the facilities' impact on the environment as the new equipment will be compliant with the most stringent ecological standards. The mills will be equipped with the mechanical descaling line which will enable the plant to stop using chemicals for rod descaling.
Beloretsk Metallurgical Plant's new products will be widely in demand in aviation, shipbuilding, automobile, construction, oil and gas, electronic, furniture and chemical industries.
"Upgrading our wire and rope production facilities will help us dramatically improve our output's quality and efficiency, make our production safer and more environmentally friendly. We plan to complete this upgrade in 2023. We are grateful to the Industrial Development Fund for their loan support of our project. I am sure that our new output with its improved quality will be in demand not only domestically, but internationally as well," Mechel PAO's Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov commented.

MECHEL UPS COKE SALES TO TURKEY
Moscow, Russia – April 17, 2019 – Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR; NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian mining and metals company, reports signing an agreement on supplies of metallurgical coke to Turkey’s major sugar producer Kayseri Sugar.
According to the contract, Mechel is due to supply its Turkish partners with up to 90,000 tonnes of metallurgical coke in 2019-2021 (approximately 30,000 tonnes each summer season). The price will be determined following negotiations.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of Kayseri Sugar’s delegation visiting Moscow Coke and Gas Plant which will produce the coke that is due to be shipped to Turkey by way of Port Mechel-Temryuk in Russia’s Krasnodar Region.
“We consider Turkey as a priority export destination for our coke products. In the summer season of 2018, Mechel’s mining division shipped a total of 50,000 tonnes of coke to Turkish agro-industrial companies, including 10,000 tonnes to Kayseri Sugar. This year, thanks to this agreement with Kayseri Sugar, we plan to improve on that. It is also important to note that this is the first contract signed directly with Kayseri Sugar, which will ensure commercial conditions that would be more profitable for both sides,” Mechel Mining Management OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark said.
FOR EDITORS
Turkey’s Kayseri Sugar industrial group includes three sugar factories. The company annually produces a total of 400,000 tonnes of sugar and some 100,000 tonnes of molasses. Kayseri Sugar acquires sugar beet from approximately 15,000 farms.

Another good earnings to report today early a.m.
"The Group finished the year 2018 with a year-on-year 5% increase in revenue and 9% increase in profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO. EBITDA went down by 7% year-on-year.
Consolidated revenue - 312.6 bln rubles (+5% compared to FY2017)
EBITDA - 75.7 bln rubles (-7% compared to FY2017)
Profit attributable to equity shareholders of Mechel PAO - 12.6 bln rubles
"The revenue growth was due to positive price dynamics in steel and steelmaking commodity markets. EBITDA went down year-on-year because of a decline in the mining division's product sale volumes due to railcar shortages in the second half of 2018 and the corresponding shift in the division's focus to overcome the underrun of resource preparation for future mining. This decision enabled us to decrease accumulated product stocks and increase stripping works, which will have positive effect in the future. The negative impact of the decline in shipment volumes was partly made up by the favorable market situation, which enabled us to sell metallurgical coal at average prices exceeding levels of 2017.
"I would like to note another important event -- by early 2019 we successfully refinanced our one-billion-dollar syndicated loan, which yielded extra finance income to the Group. Also, in 2018 our lenders wrote off 17.5 billion rubles in fines and penalties, which reduced our debt and had a positive impact on our profit for this period, which grew year-on-year even as we take into account the major negative effect from the ruble's depreciation."

MECHEL COMPLETES RESTRUCTURING SYNDICATED PRE-EXPORT LOAN
Moscow, Russia – January 22, 2019 – Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR; NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian mining and metals company, reports refinancing its one-billion-dollar syndicated pre-export facility with a pool of international lenders.
The restructuring became possible by a credit line in euro granted by VTB Bank with maturity in April 2022. The grace period on the body of the debt is set until April 2020.
Debt buyback from lenders yielded Mechel financial revenue totaling about 13 billion rubles.
“Refinancing the syndicated loan enabled us to reduce the share of the Group’s unrestructured debt from 22% to 8%, decrease the number of foreign lenders in our overall debt portfolio, synchronize the loan’s conditions and debt repayment schedule with current conditions of our loans lent by Russian banks, as well as reduce borrowing costs,” Mechel PAO’s Chief Financial Officer Nelli Galeyeva noted.

Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR; NYSE: MTL), a leading Russian mining and metals company, reports prolonging its agreement on coke supplies to Turkey's steelmaking holding Kardemir.
According to the agreement, from January to December 2019 Mechel will supply the Turkish company with 200,000 tonnes of metallurgical coke produced at Moscow Coke and Gas Plant.

The price will be determined on quarterly basis following negotiations.
"Over 9 months of 2018, we increased coke exports by 16%. We managed to achieve this result partly due to our partnership with Kardemir. With this new agreement, our ties will continue to develop just as efficiently," Mechel Mining Management OOO's Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark said.
Turkish companies consume about 6 million tonnes of coke annually, with Turkey's coke producers accounting for approximately 5 million tonnes and the remainder imported from abroad.

“We have toured Mechel’s production facilities. Certainly, the company has extensive plans for implementing environment protection technologies, and some facilities have already been built and launched. You know, we have 12 cities listed as those that need their environment situation improved, which is linked primarily to waste emissions. This work is in store for us. I must say that businesses, including Mechel, understand their responsibilities. No one is trying to stay away and claim they have no opportunity to do this,” Russia’s Natural Resources and Ecology Minister Dmitry Kobylkin noted.
“Today Mechel is implementing major projects aimed at minimizing our impact on the environment in Chelyabinsk Region. Our company is the first to have launched an independent ecological audit whose results will be presented for public discussion and then added to our upgrade program. We are fully open for cooperation and interaction where ecological projects are concerned,” Mechel PAO’s Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov said.

Nice new expansion going on here folks:::
MOSCOW, Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mechel PAO (MOEX: MTLR, NYSE: MTL), one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, reports launching Longwall 21-1-11 at Olzherasskaya Novaya Underground Mine which is part of Southern Kuzbass Coal Company.
The new longwall’s industrial coal reserves are estimated at 3.6 million tonnes. The longwall is 200 meters long, the extraction panel is approximately 1,660 meters.
Mining at the longwall will be conducted by a stoping complex including a 135-section powered support system, a high-performance cutter-loader, a breaker, a loader, a longwall and a goaf conveyor. Investment in the project totaled 270 million rubles.
Miners at Olzherasskaya Novaya Underground’s Longwall 21-1-11 use a special sub-level caving method, which enables thick seam mining in one coal layer of up to 10 meters, extracting maximum volumes of coal in one go while decreasing the risk of breeding fire. This technology was proved most efficient in these geological conditions.
“After washing, the coal mined here will be sold to Russian and foreign power generating and steelmaking companies. The monthly load is planned at 150,000 tonnes, and our personnel will work this longwall for about two years,” Mechel Mining Management OOO’s Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark noted.
