Clear streamline initiatives driving significant cost reductions across the business

Actions taken in 1H FY16

  • 10 underperforming facilities closed during HY16 including:

  • 7 in North America Metals

  • 2 in ANZ Metals

  • 1 in Europe Metals

  • Total group headcount reduced by 500, in order to adapt to lower market activities and creating a more efficient cost structure

Actions to be taken in 2H FY16

  • Sale or closure of a further 25 non-core and underperforming facilities

  • Additional cost reduction actions at the regional and corporate level

Clear optimise initiatives: Leveraging logistics to improve supply and margins

Minimising transport expenses is critical to maximise margins, while keeping prices attractive for suppliers

Transportation Management Strategy

Clear optimise initiatives: Operational excellence driving productivity gains

Maximising non-ferrous extraction from shredding

  • Improving downstream systems

  • Constructing new downstream non-ferrous recovery plant in Kwinana, WA

  • Reducing shredder non-ferrous entrapment across the network

Reducing waste expenses

  • Covering shredder conveyors and waste bays

  • Reduces moisture content in flock (shredded waste residue), which lowers the weight of material going to landfill, creating lower waste disposal costs

Clear optimise initiatives: Operational excellence driving productivity gains

Minimising overall costs through strategic decentralisation

  • Installation of shear and balers into regional centres

  • Allows clean light gauge material to be processed into cut grades (HMS) closer to source

  • Creates ability to export directly from regional ports

Clear optimise initiatives: Enhancing product quality to improve value to customers

Improving supply quality

  • Targeting the right raw material supply, to suit the needs of end-customers

Refining processing methods to meet end market requirements

  • IE: Densification of cut grade scrap (HMS)

  • Lowers deep-sea and domestic freight costs

  • Ability to maximise product price premiums where market demand is strongest

  • More HMS can be exported per single deep-sea cargo

  • Creates potential for dedicated shredded scrap cargos

Improving margins through further separation of non-ferrous shred

  • Install separation technology to further separate Zorba

  • Enables direct sales to smelters

Positive signals that China’s steel exports may decline:

  • Plans to reduce annual steelmaking capacity by 100 to 150 million tonnes

  • Implied capacity reduction of circa 10 to 15%

  • RMB $30bn fund set up to help dismissed workers in the steel and coal industries

Export rebate on boron-added steel products ended on 1 Jan 2015

  • Boron-added products account for ~30% of steel exports

 Rising steel import tariffs

  • India announced on 5 February 2016 a minimum import price on steel products

China’s steel exports are displacing global demand for ferrous scrap

Outside China and a few others, the rest of the world uses ferrous scrap to make steel

Earnings were impacted by a significant drop in volumes related to falling commodity prices

North America Metals earnings pressure was felt strongest in the Central region, bulk stainless, and the SA Recycling JV, contributing underlying EBIT losses of $20m, $4m, and $7m respectively

The East and West regions remained profitable

ANZ Metals earnings were negatively impacted by a 26% fall in volumes as well as a contraction in metal margin, offset in part by lower fixed costs

Europe Metals was challenged by lower volumes and deterioration in the domestic UK steel industry, with performance recovering in 2Q16

Global E-Recycling impacted by lower income from Continental Europe, where metal margins decreased by 24%; the US also underperformed, leading to $42 million goodwill impairment charge
