What the record says.
JSW Steel reported a mixed Q3 FY24. Consolidated revenue was INR 41,940 crore, down 6% QoQ, with EBITDA of INR 7,180 crore (margin 17.1%). PAT stood at INR 2,450 crore. Operational performance was strong: record crude steel production of 6.87 million tons (+12% YoY) and capacity utilization of 94%. However, sales volumes fell 5% QoQ to 6 million tons due to weak global markets and higher imports. Value-added product share remained at 60%. Management reiterated FY24 volume guidance of 26.34 million tons production and 25 million tons sales. Raw material costs are rising: coking coal expected up $20-25/ton in Q4. Net debt increased to INR 79,221 crore (net debt/EBITDA 2.64x). Key risk: elevated input costs and global volatility could pressure margins despite expected volume recovery.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Consolidated production and sales targets for FY24 remain unchanged despite Q3 sales dip.
- Landed cost expected to rise from $252/ton in Q3 due to elevated global prices.
- Lower than earlier estimate of INR 20,000 crore due to timing of payments spilling into Q1 FY25.
- Long-term target with interim goal of 1.95 tCO2/tcs by 2030, using renewables, efficiency, and circularity.
Risks flagged
- Coking coal and iron ore costs are rising; Q4 margins expected to be impacted despite volume recovery.
- Imports rose 16% in Q3; management flagged concern but expects parity to limit imports in Q4.
- Analyst raised; management acknowledged impact on container exports but reorienting to break bulk.
- Analyst questioned potential pricing pressure from ~15M tons new capacity; management downplayed risk.
Key quotes
- Our production numbers were the highest at 6.87 million tons, with a capacity utilization at 94%.
- We expect some deleveraging by the end of FY 2024, driven by release of working capital, based on the inventory liquidation and better working capital flow during the quarter on stronger volumes.
- We are committed to reduce our carbon emissions by 42% to 1.95 tons per ton of crude steel, and issued the global steel industry's first bond linked to sustainability targets.
