COMMENTARY

Qinghai Cast House Project

==> picture [496 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

Magontec Qinghai primary magnesium alloy production facility

As at the end of October 2016, the Magontec Qinghai magnesium alloy cast house is fully installed with four casting lines, two packing lines and the associated furnaces and operating software. In June this year the cast house was provided with access to utilities and in the intervening period the first ingot casting line has been undergoing hot commissioning.

Our current schedule will see all four ingot casting lines fully hot commissioned by the end of December this year and ready to receive liquid pure magnesium from the Qinghai Salt Lake Magnesium Co Ltd (QSLM) electrolytic magnesium plant.

The QSLM operations, brine purification, dehydration and electrolytic reduction processes, are expected to complete hot commissioning in the next few months. While this phase is always an uncertain process Magontec currently expects to receive supply of liquid pure magnesium from QSLM in the first quarter of 2017.

As we have discussed in previous commentaries we expect product from Magontec Qinghai to be competitively priced and provide our business with the opportunity to re-enter many international and domestic Chinese markets that have not been accessible under our current production structure.

Under the 2013 supply and price agreements between Magontec and QSLM we expect to receive at least 56% of the production of liquid pure magnesium from QSLM’s reduction cell house. Under these agreements Magontec is also secured as the exclusive producer of magnesium alloys from this electrolytic magnesium plant, the first electrolytic plant to be built anywhere in the world in this century.

Magontec sales representatives are beginning the process of collecting pre-qualification information for customers together with documentation on the manufacturing process and the environmental attributes of Magontec Qinghai magnesium alloys.

Magontec is extremely proud to be able to offer magnesium alloy consumers a product that will have a lower embedded CO2 than any comparable material and will also use a harmless cover gas in its manufacture. The Magontec Qinghai cast house will be the first major primary magnesium alloy manufacturing operation to use HFC134a in place of SO2 or the highly toxic SF6, both in common use in China (which produces 85% of global magnesium production) and elsewhere around the world.

Magontec Romania magnesium alloy recycling and magnesium anode manufacturing

In Europe this year our Romanian magnesium alloy recycling operation has enjoyed steady conditions and the full benefit of new process technologies installed in 2015. While volumes have been on budget, conversion costs and other operating metrics have improved through the year and the financial result from this business is expected to be slightly ahead of budget. At the gross profit level as at the end of September 2016 it is 150% ahead of the previous corresponding period. Magontec’s Romanian magnesium alloy recycling operation is now operating at a very high efficiency level. With a continued trend among our customers to locating automotive manufacturing operations in the eastern regions of Europe we can expect to see this business continue to build volume and enjoy improving economies of scale.

In Germany our facility at Bottrop is both a recycling operation and increasingly a specialist metal manufacturing business. The former has enjoyed a stronger than forecast third quarter and is also well ahead of its budget for 2016. While the flow of unprocessed scrap of Chinese origin from Europe to the USA continues, reducing available volumes for Magontec and other magnesium alloy recycling operations in Europe, Magontec remains a robust competitor in Western Europe with sales and profitability ahead of expectations, particularly in recent months.

Specialist alloy manufacturing in Europe includes both high volume products, such as Magontec’s proprietary AE family of magnesium alloys, as well as lower volume products targeted at defence and aerospace industries. A part of our longer-term strategy has been to diversify production to reduce reliance on high volume products and to raise the company’s overall margins and profitability. Research and development programs, often in partnership with our customers, are responsible for driving many of these new products, some of which will begin production in 2017 and 2018. Other products are derived from magnesium technologies that Magontec inherited from Norsk Hydro and Australian Magnesium Corporation, the two magnesium companies that were combined to form our business.

==> picture [595 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [595 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

In China our primary magnesium alloy manufacturing business has performed in line with budget, albeit on lower than forecast volumes, but boosted by a further reduction in operating costs. While we have at times struggled in export markets to compete with integrated Chinese pure and alloy producers, and cannot replicate the tax structures that many Chinese traders adopt, we continue to remain competitive in many markets from our current primary magnesium alloy plant in Shanxi and look forward to the opportunities that will present themselves when we commence production in Qinghai. Magontec’s export volumes in the first 9 months of 2016 have held up well, however we are cautious for the immediate period ahead.

Anode products (cathodic corrosion protection)

Magontec’s anode businesses continue to enjoy a considerably better year in 2016. In China sales have risen by more than 7% in a business where profitability is extremely sensitive to volumes and where unit prices continue to fall year-on-year. At the gross profit level the Chinese anodes business is currently well ahead of its 2016 budget and around 35% ahead of the previous corresponding period. Much of this improvement has been driven by capital investment. In Xian we have installed new casting machines, new CNC machines and have completed an upgrade to our extruded product at both the raw material and processing stages. In the fourth quarter of 2016 we will make a further capital investment in anode processing equipment to improve competitiveness, win new sales contracts and further reduce unit costs.

The European anodes business has also benefitted from a strong improvement in unit costs. Our plant in Romania is one of the most efficient manufacturers of magnesium anodes in the world and, having regained market share lost in 2013 and 2014, is starting to win new customers and supply into new markets with a highly competitive product. Over the next few months we will introduce new automated processing equipment that will further enhance competitiveness and profitability.

In both China and Europe we have moved aggressively to reduce manufacturing costs in the last three years. We are now in a much stronger competitive position and will be seeking to increase market share and profitability to new levels in 2017. In addition to magnesium anodes Magontec is also the world leader in electronic anodes. This market segment has been confined to water heater applications in the past but is moving into new products and new applications. In 2016 the electronic anodes division has made a significant contribution to group profitability driven by a talented technical team who have risen to the challenge of developing new products and new software for increasingly complex application.

Summary

As we enter the last quarter of 2016 we can begin to see a little more clearly our prospects for 2017 and the years ahead. Much of our focus in the last three years has been on the design, installation and commissioning of our new cast house in Qinghai Province PRC. As we have described at length in previous commentaries, this will be a new step for Magontec and for our customers. In 2017 Magontec will be able to offer a competitively priced magnesium alloy with the lowest embedded CO2 of any magnesium production unit in the World. Under our agreements with QSLM we will also be able to offer longer-term contracts. All of these characteristics make Magontec’s future product attractive to automotive and other customers who have had to rely on short-term price and supply agreements from high-CO2 emitting Pidgeon Process magnesium plants. Material provenance, particularly for the automotive industry that faces many environmental challenges, has become a critical metric. While price will continue to be a primary metric the environment impacts of production together with a robust supply chain offering and a material recycling service will be among the many factors working in Magontec’s favour as the Qinghai facility comes on stream.

In our other businesses we have delivered steady improvements over recent years. Our teams in China, Romania and Germany have successfully delivered a flow of new production innovations that have allowed Magontec to regain its leadership position in magnesium anodes and magnesium alloy recycling and to sustain a credible share in the face of strong competition in primary magnesium alloy markets.

As we come to the end of the capital expenditure program in Qinghai our attention will turn to funding the future working capital required for this project. We have been fortunate in our banking relationships in Europe and China where we enjoy strong support from global banking groups. In particular, we have benefitted from a working capital facility provided by Commerzbank that covers our global trading activities. With production volumes forecast to grow significantly in China we will rely on those banking relationships as well as our growing ability to generate strong cash flows from our existing operations.
