  • Expansion Approval: In Q2FY24, the company's board approved an expansion of steel production capacity from the initially planned 0.5 million tonnes to 1.2 million tonnes. The company found that installing a 1.2 million tonne steel plant would be more economical than the previous plan of 0.5 million tonnes. This expansion is expected to proceed without significant delays in permissions or timing.

  • The realization in Q2FY24 increased by 22% YoY but decreased by 13% QoQ.

Commenting on overall performance, Rajesh Gupta– Managing Director, said, “Despite Q2FY24 being a traditionally softer quarter for mining due to the monsoon season, Lloyds Metals has defied expectations. Encouragingly, we saw improved realisations and reported better EBITDA per tonne on iron ore than the previous year. EBITDA margins for ore remained flat QoQ, even in the face of lower production, which is a positive outcome. Our sponge production for H1FY24 was strong, and although a routine shutdown in Q2FY24 impacted QoQ production, our sponge margins remained consistent. Regarding new developments, we have embarked on seed marketing of pellets from Goa for exports, forming a strategic partnership with MRPL. This aligns seamlessly with our growth strategy, enhances our market presence, and optimises operations for increased profitability. Lloyds Metals' commitment to expansion has been commendable. Our execution capabilities shone through as we completed our 70k DRI plant in 13 months from environmental clearance. This plant is a testament to our dedication to the development of Gadchiroli and is the first of its kind in the region. Our progress in steel-making is equally promising, and I am buoyant about the prospects of our company. Lloyds Metals remains steadfast in ensuring long-term value for our stakeholders.”

Further Commenting on the Company’s performance, Prabhakaran – Managing Director, said, “Both production and dispatches have been impressive for the half-year ending in September 2023. Lloyds Metals is unwavering in our commitment to developing the Gadchiroli region, leaving no stone unturned in our pursuit. Our vision is aligned with the aspiration of making Gadchiroli the next steel hub of India, and we are making substantial headway toward that goal. We believe in holistic development, emphasising the region's well-being, employment, and environmental sustainability. At Lloyds Metals, we prioritise our stakeholders, employees, and all those associated with the company's growth. We are dedicated to building enduring relationships, ensuring that everyone remains connected with our journey for the long term.”

    • EBITDA for Q4FY23 stood at Rs 1,840 million higher by 50% YoY and lower by 28% QoQ. Lower volumes for Q4FY23 led to degrowth on a QoQ basis.

Commenting on the performance of the company, Rajesh Gupta - Director, said: “FY23 has been the first full year of our iron ore mining operations. The journey so far has been quite encouraging. We have built a full ecosystem wherein our future growth has been given a meaningful direction. We created an infrastructure in the Gadchiroli region which shall be very instrumental for our future growth.

Our FY23 performance, begin on a sound note but was slowed in Q2 on account of various domestic and global factors. That led to some softening in ore prices as the market was re-balancing the demand/supply situation. However, post Q2FY23 iron ore prices have been quite stable and have been looking very encouraging. We have been witnessing a steady improvement in our realisations and margin, thus recording peak realisations in Q4FY23 for FY23. Our sponge and power plant operations have seen a remarkable improvement in their performance. Our Capacity utilisation for the DRI plant increased to 76% in FY23 as against sub-45% in FY22. We thus end FY23 on a sound footing with an overall improvement in all aspects, with a big kicker being the enhanced capacity of our iron ore mine to 10 mnt per annum. This is expected to take the growth of our company to a new trajectory altogether. Along with enhanced capacity, economies of scale too would have a sustainable impact on our margins going ahead”.

Further commenting on overall performance, Mukesh Gupta - Chairman said: “It gives us immense pleasure to look at our FY23 performance. We have seen a leap in our growth in a tough social and challenging economic environment. Going ahead with our strategy of being present in the complete value chain of steelmaking, the company has laid out a systematic roadmap which shall transform the company into an integrated steel producer. Our growth roadmap further manifests that all its capex plans are met through our internal accruals only. We are confident that the Company shall be earning significant cash profits to get its projects completed in a stipulated time frame. We have been investing significantly in our human capital by adding the best talent available and also grooming our existing workforce via an in-house skill development program. The company launched the ESOPS scheme for all executives in FY23 with an aim to allow employees to participate in the company’s overall growth prospects. We believe we are on an exciting journey of delivering more sustainable, profitable and equitable growth going ahead”.

Iron & Steel Manufacturing company Lloyds Metals & Energy announced Q2FY23 results:

  • Company:
    • Revenue from operations for H1FY23 stood at Rs 15,417 million, significantly higher than H1FY22 as mining operations for the company begin in Q3FY22 onwards. 
    • EBITDA for H1FY23 stood at 32% and Q2FY23 at 25%.
    • Cash PAT (PAT Depreciation Non cash items) for H1FY23 stood at Rs 4,395 million. Interest costs include non-cash accounting for INDAS for Rs 190 million in Q2FY23. This demonstrates healthy cash flows for the company.
  • Mining:
    • Iron ore production was stable at 0.73 million tonnes in Q2FY23; H1FY23 - 1.5 million tonnes, translating into a production run rate of 3 MMTPA as per our existing EC limit.
    • Sales were higher by 9% QoQ; despite a traditionally weak quarter for mining companies. Dispatch volumes for H1FY23 stood at 2.65mn tonnes.

Mr. Rajesh Gupta - Director, said: “This H1FY23 performance is quite satisfactory considering the headwinds the steel industry and in particular iron ore miners have been facing as of today. Post imposition of export duty on iron ore and pellets by the central government the export market has become completely unviable and has led to the re-routing of those quantities in the domestic market. Combined with that, monsoons are generally the subdued quarter for mining companies. However, the company responded to the situation with agility and ramped up its dispatch volumes significantly. Despite 20 days of heavy rainfall in our mining area, where road infrastructure was almost standstill, the company reported 8.5% QoQ growth in dispatches. Our H1FY23 iron ore volumes stand at 2.5 million tonnes. With the run rate exhibited in Q2FY23, we are confident of achieving our iron ore sales volume target of 5-5.5million tonnes for FY23. Going ahead our focus also remains on improving the product mix of the company. To further improve our product mix the company has expanded its crushing facilities to 2.4million tonnes from 1.2million tonnes. This will gear us to move close to our long-term target of a 70:30 mix of Fines: Lumps and eventually would fetch us higher average realisations as well.”

Mr. Mukesh Gupta-Chairman said: “Company H1FY23 performance is a testimony of hard work and dedication the team has exhibited in challenging operational scenarios. The company's overall performance is also an exhibit of future performance to come. The company has been progressing well on the exploration of final proven reserves and expansion of its iron ore mining capacities to 10 mnt p.a. We remain committed to the overall growth of the company and judicious use of iron ore as well. Our upcoming 72000 tonnes of sponge iron capacities would lead to optimal utilisation of our captive ore. All these measures are calibrated for a sustained journey for all the stakeholders”
