Mechel Reports the 9M 2014 Financial Results
Revenue amounted to $5.0 billion
Consolidated EBITDA(a)* amounted to $470 million
Net loss attributable to shareholders of Mechel OAO amounted to $1.2 billion
MOSCOW, Dec. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mechel OAO (NYSE:MTL), a leading Russian mining and steel group, announces financial results for the 9M 2014.
Mechel OAO's Chief Executive Officer Oleg Korzhov commented on the 9M 2014 results:
"This year the company operated as the situation changed dynamically both in the economy as a whole and in the markets for the products we manufacture and sell. A significant slump of coal and iron ore prices, major volatility of ruble conversion rates and other factors led to an uneven dynamics of our financial results from quarter to quarter. Our steel segment demonstrated strong results, reaching in the third quarter 2014 record EBITDA margin of 14% and increased its share in the Group's consolidated EBITDA to nearly 45% over this year's nine months.
In this accounting period, the Group was increasing its operational revenue and EBITDA each quarter, cutting its net loss by nearly half as compared to the same period last year. This proves that the company's development strategy approved by the Board of Directors in May 2012, which includes focusing on core business segments, disposal of non-core assets and increasing performance of the Group's key enterprises, was correct. The dynamics of our results reflect the efficiency of measures taken as part of that strategy's implementation."

Mining Segment
Financial Results For The 9M 2014
Mechel Mining Management OOO's Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark noted:
"In the second half of this year, the mining segment is operating as coal prices have stopped decreasing, but remain at the weakest over the past few years. The lack of trade working capital led to a decrease in production in some of our enterprises, which in its turn led to a decrease in sales and revenue. Higher demand for coke was a positive factor. We increased production at our coke facilities and their supplies by coking coal concentrate from our mining assets. The growth of intra-group supplies, together with increased sales to Japan, partly compensated for the decrease of coal sales to China. In the third quarter, the segment demonstrated a reduction in revenue and EBITDA. Nevertheless, we turned from operational loss to income, decreased our adjusted net loss and maintained our margins at the level of the previous quarter."
| US$ mln. | 9M 2014 | 9M 2013 | % | 3Q'14 | 2Q'14 | % |
| Revenue from external customers | 1,614 | 2,158 | -25% | 492 | 551 | -11% |

| EBITDA (a), margin | 11.3% | 15.7% | 12.5% | 12.7% | ||
- The decrease in the costs of most of division's products in the reporting period helped to maintain the EBITDA margin stable quarter on quarter even with reduced revenue.
- In the third quarter 2014 the export share in segment's sales slightly decreased compared to the second quarter, but it remained on annual average level of about 70%.
- In the third quarter the segment demonstrated an operating income and significantly reduced the adjusted net loss compared to the second quarter 2014.
Steel Segment
Financial Results For The 9M 2014
Mechel Steel Management Company OOO's Chief Executive Officer Vladimir Tytsky said:
"We have optimized our production and sales structure, increased our share of high value-added products. This year we have sold over 100,000 tonnes of high-quality structural shapes, including rails, produced by Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant's universal rolling mill. The slump in prices for incoming commodities helped bring down production costs. In these circumstances, with favorable market conditions, the segment demonstrated a substantial improvement of financial results, especially for the third quarter. EBITDA in the third quarter 2014 went up by 79% quarter-on-quarter and EBITDA margin reached a record level of 13.9%. Also for the third quarter 2014, the segment showed $15 million in adjusted net income."
