Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The earnings call highlighted significant improvements in EBITDA and cost reductions, strategic investments, and a strong liquidity position. However, challenges persist in the Canadian market, high interest rates affecting the automotive sector, and potential impacts from non-core asset sales. The company remains optimistic about future growth and cost-cutting measures.
Company Guidance
During the Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. Second Quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance on several key metrics, highlighting a strong performance and positive outlook. The adjusted EBITDA for Q2 improved by $271 million compared to the prior quarter, driven by better realized pricing, cost reductions, and record shipments of 4.3 million tons. The company successfully decreased unit costs by $15 per ton, contrary to the expected rise, and anticipates a further $20 per ton reduction in Q3. The average selling price increased by $35 per ton to $1,015. Cleveland-Cliffs reported a cash outflow of $67 million in Q2, but future working capital reductions are expected to enhance cash flow. The company's liquidity stood at $2.7 billion, with no near-term debt maturities. Strategic initiatives, such as internal coke sourcing, are projected to yield significant cost benefits, and the company maintains its full-year target of a $50 per ton cost reduction. Additionally, Cleveland-Cliffs is exploring non-core asset sales to accelerate debt reduction and leverage its integrated model for future growth, particularly in the automotive sector.
