Aperam Provides Q1 2025 Market and Financial Outlook
Aperam, the steel giant, outlined its expectations for Q1 2025 ahead of its quarterly results announcement scheduled for 30 April 2025. Despite higher shipments in Europe, the company anticipates a decline in adjusted EBITDA compared to Q4 2024. This is due to ongoing pricing pressure in Europe, negative valuation effects, and a seasonal downturn in Brazil.
A purchase of Universal Stainless & Alloy Products increased Aperam's net financial debt, and the company projects a negative free cash flow for the quarter. The Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA consensus is currently estimated at EUR87 million.
In Europe, demand remains weak despite higher Q1 volumes, while Brazil experiences strong demand following a hot rolling mill upgrade. The company noted a negative valuation effect expected to range from EUR15 to 20 million due to market conditions.
Plans to achieve EUR75 million in targeted gains through its Leadership Journey Phase 5 initiative in 2025 remain on track.
