Quarter read
What the record says.
JSW Steel delivered a strong Q1 FY24 with consolidated EBITDA of ₹7,046 crore (up 64% YoY) and net profit of ₹2,428 crore (up 189% YoY), driven by robust domestic demand, a value-added product mix (61% of sales), and better export realizations. Crude steel production grew 11% to 6.43 million tons despite planned maintenance shutdowns. Management expects Q2 volumes to improve on inventory liquidation and lower coking coal costs ($45-50/ton benefit) to offset steel price corrections. The company remains confident in meeting FY24 production guidance of 26.34 million tons. Key risk: elevated Chinese steel exports could pressure global prices and margins.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management confirmed the annual production target of 26.34 million tons, with Q1 achieving 100% of the quarterly target.
- Coking coal costs are expected to decline by $45-50 per ton in Q2, providing a significant cost offset.
- Brownfield expansions at Vijayanagar, BPSL, and JSW Steel Coated will increase India capacity to 37 million tons by FY25.
- The company aims to reach 50 million tons capacity by 2030-31 through brownfield and modular greenfield expansions.
Risks flagged
- Higher Chinese exports due to weak domestic demand could pressure global steel prices and impact JSW's export realizations.
- Working capital investment of ₹7,800 crore in Q1 increased net debt to ₹67,000 crore; reversal depends on inventory liquidation.
- Global headwinds may impact US operations, especially Ohio, though Baytown is expected to perform well.
- Iron ore prices in India have not corrected in line with steel prices, potentially squeezing margins if correction is delayed.
Key quotes
- Our operating EBITDA at INR 7,046 crore went up by 64%.
- We expect that the coking coal benefit of the lower coking coal prices will now flow into quarter two, which would give us a benefit of $45-$50 per ton.
- Our value-added component sales grew by 32%, and as a percentage of total sales in quarter one were 61%.
