Logistics is a significant cost driver

8% 2% Raw materials
12% Employee benefits

Expense A$ million (FY16)
Raw materials used and changes in inventories 3,014
Freight expense 379
Employee benefits expense 567
Repairs and maintenance expense 563
Other expenses 53
  • In total, freight expenses were 8% of Group costs and 24% of costs excluding raw materials

  • Logistics costs include inbound and outbound trucking, barge transport, rail shipments, domestic and export containers, bulk ship exports, as well as waste removal

  • Logistics is a critical success factor in metals, electronics, and municipal recycling due to weight of raw materials, complexity of sourcing, and geographic customer distribution

----- End of picture text -----

  • Freight expenses per tonne have declined by 20%, roughly $10 per tonne, since FY13[1]

  • Decline in freight expenses driven by numerous factors including:

  • Lowering trucking fleet downtime

  • More efficient trucking routing and increased backhaul route optimisation

  • Freight tracking software

  • Lower fuel costs

  • Increased use of water and rail based transport

  • Improved third party freight tendering

Attractive access to rail and barge transport

Freight costs by mode

  • Rail and barge transport can be 10% to 20% of the cost of trucking per ton-mile

  • Majority of North America Metals facilities have either rail connections or barge loading docks[1]

  • 20 with rail connections

  • 15 with barge loading docks

  • 7 with deep water export docks

  • Attractive low-cost transport capabilities provide significant competitive advantages

  • Lower intake and inter-facilities freight costs

  • Provides flexibility to supply to both domestic and export customers

Logistics Initiative 1) Dredging of Claremont Channel

Port Newark Dock Claremont Terminal Newark, New Jersey Jersey City, New Jersey

Dredging of Claremont channel, allowing more tonnes to be loading into bulk ships docked at Claremont terminal

  • Prior to the dredging, draft constraints required bulk ships loaded at Claremont, to be topped-up at nearby Port Newark

  • In addition, this required material processed at Claremont to be barged to Port Newark, for bulk loading under deeper draft conditions

  • Sequent to the dredging, bulk ships loaded at Claremont can be filled with more material , leading to quicker loading times, less material handling and fewer barge transfers

Shredder & key facility Deep water export dock Shipping channel

Logistics Initiative 2) Chicago rail connection

  • The Paulina St facility in Chicago is a major producer of HMS, shredded, and prompt scrap in the Midwest region

  • However, transport to domestic steel mills can incur significant transport costs, while some mills only accept material by rail

  • The recently completed rail line connection will complement existing barge loading capacity and allow the business to supply a wider range of domestic customers

  • Additional benefits include:

  • Significant freight cost reduction

  • Elimination of double handling

  • Ability to move increased volumes

  • Diversification of customer base

  • Lower waste removal costs

(NFSR) into saleable commodities
including zorba (primarily aluminium),
zurik (primarily stainless steel), and
insulated copper wire (ICW)
----- End of picture text -----

Operational Excellence: Non-ferrous Metals Recovery Plant - Technology

MRP four key technology areas:

1. Screening: Downstream separation equipment, optimised through consistent inbound particle size screening

2. Air Classification: Downstream separation equipment process inbound material

3. Eddy Current Separators (ECS): This is the primary point of extraction for zorba, which is predominantly aluminium. The ECS account for the vast majority of non ferrous recoveries by weight

4. Sensor/Sorters: This technology comprises the largest jump between older MRP and the update MRP scheduled for installation. Advances in sensor technology have increased resolution and particle identification to better separate insulated copper wire (ICW) from stainless steel, down to very small size fractions

Operational Excellence: New ‘state of the art’ MRP at Claremont, NJ

Current MRP location
----- End of picture text -----

Claremont has one of the highest performing shredders in the metal recycling industry

  • However the current MRP can no longer efficiently manage the downstream non-ferrous recovery process due to aging technology

  • The new MRP will provide a step-change in throughput, cost efficiency, and recovery rates

  • Additional benefits include:

  • Enhanced safety

  • Enclosed building for dryer material

  • More efficient material flow

  • Higher recovery rates

  • 50% higher throughput capacity

Operational Excellence: New ‘state of the art’ MRP at Chicago, IL

The Paulina street facility is one of only two major shredding operations in the Chicago area

  • The MRP that currently exists resides 15 miles away from Paulina street due to a legacy operational footprint

Metal Shredder

Existing MRP is in various stages of degradation due to aging equipment, infrastructure, and technology (some components over 20yrs old)

  • New MRP location

Installation of the new MRP to the same location as the shredder will dramatically reduce material handling and freight costs .

  • Additional benefits include:

  • Enhanced safety

  • More efficient material flow

  • Higher recovery rates

  • 40% higher throughput capacity

  • Reduced material handling & freight costs

----- End of picture text -----

  • Zorba is a primarily aluminium mixed metal and the main non-ferrous product recovered from non-ferrous shredder residue (NFSR)

  • Zorba is typically sold at purities of 85-96% metal (65-80% Al, and 10-25% mix of Cu, Zn, Pb)

  • Zorba is primarily sold to processors in China, at a 15-25% discount to the aluminium LME price, which then hand sort component metals

  • Discount to aluminium LME price has been widening over time due to higher labour costs in China and other factors

  • In addition, initiatives in China such as the ‘Green Fence’ and regulation over importing of mixed metal waste pose increased challenges

  • The US domestic market has few customers for Zorba which instead require a higher grade 9899% aluminum product called Twitch , used as feedstock for secondary smelting

Product Quality: Zorba de-commoditsation initiative

Project
Overview

Installation of azorba separation plant at Claremont Terminalmetals
recycling facility in Jersey City, NJ

Facility will process Claremont’s zorba into twitch (98-99% aluminium) and
‘heavy metals’ (copper, brass, lead, zinc)

Expectedcompletion in 1H FY18
Benefits
Diversification of product portfolio by further separation and de-commodisation

Capture more of the marginin the downstream value chain

Expand customer basein both domestic and export markets
Future
Potential

Potential to roll-out processto other key operating regions

Future opportunities to further process twitch and heavy metals into further
distinct products (ie cast & sheet aluminium, brass, copper, lead, and zinc)

Opportunity to provide the service to 3rd parties as an attractive alternative to
traditional zorba sales channels

Summary & outlook

Significant internal initiatives to support reaching FY18 ROC target of ≥ 10%

  • Extensive portfolio of internal initiatives driven by a strong central PMO structure

  • Initiatives expected to deliver additional $70 to $95 million in EBIT per annum once complete[1 ]

  • Business remains well positioned with at least 12 million tonnes of sales volume capacity

Next five year plan will focus on transformative business growth

  • Growth strategy centered on four pillars 1) market share gain, 2) market positioning, 3) market adjacencies, and 4) new lines of business

  • Further details on the next five-year plan to be presented during 1H FY18

Current market conditions continue to be steady and supportive

  • Steel exports from China continue to decline, leading to stronger ferrous demand outside China

  • Stable or improving pricing and demand for ferrous and non-ferrous secondary metal

  • 2H FY17 underlying EBIT expected to be higher than 1H FY17 and a meaningful step towards reaching the target ROC of ≥ 10% for FY18
