Strong Balance Sheet / Low LeverageA strong equity base and low debt-to-equity ratio provide durable financial resilience through commodity cycles. This capital structure supports funding of maintenance capex and working capital, reduces bankruptcy risk, and gives management flexibility to invest or conserve cash when iron ore markets are weak.
Healthy Operating Cash GenerationA healthy operating cash flow to net income ratio indicates the business converts sales into cash effectively, a durable advantage in cyclical mining. Strong cash generation helps cover operating needs, sustain production, service obligations and fund essential capital works without immediate reliance on external financing.
