クリーブランド・クリフス、第1四半期の業績予想を上回り損失が縮小。CEOは今後の黒字化を示唆

-- クリーブランド・クリフス(CLF)の第1四半期決算は、売上高が市場予想を上回ったことで損失が予想以上に縮小した。CEOのロウレンソ・ゴンサルベス氏は、第2四半期には黒字転換を見込んでいると述べた。 同社は月曜日、3月期の調整後損失が前年同期の1株当たり0.93ドルの損失から0.40ドルに縮小したと発表した。これは、ファクトセットのアナリスト予想である0.43ドルの損失とほぼ一致している。売上高は46億3000万ドルから49億2000万ドルに増加し、市場予想の48億1000万ドルを上回った。 ゴンサルベス氏は声明の中で、「第1四半期の業績は、エネルギー価格や価格実現の遅れといった短期的な逆風の影響を反映している」と述べた。「受注残高と価格設定において既に見られる勢いが、収益とキャッシュフローに反映され続けるため、年が進むにつれて四半期ごとに業績は改善していくと予想される。」 ゴンサルベス氏は、第2四半期には「健全なプラスのフリーキャッシュフロー」を創出し、収益回復に転じる見込みだと述べた。 鉄鋼製品の販売量は、第1四半期に前年同期の414万トンから411万トンに減少した。一方、製鉄事業の売上高は44億7000万ドルから47億6000万ドルに増加した。 ゴンサルベス氏は、中東情勢の緊迫化はクリーブランド・クリフスの「競争力」を強化したと述べたが、韓国の鉄鋼メーカーであるポスコとの潜在的な取引の実現時期については改善が見られなかった。クリーブランド・クリフスは10月、米国における鉄鋼生産に焦点を当てた提携の可能性を探るため、ポスコと覚書を締結したと発表した。 ゴンサルベス氏は、「株主にとって利益をもたらし、当社の資産価値、市場における地位、そして米国における鉄鋼需要の強さを十分に反映した取引を目指し、覚書の枠組みの中で誠意をもって交渉を続けている」と述べた。 クリーブランド・クリフスは、2026年の鉄鋼出荷量を約1,650万~1,700万ネットトンと引き続き予測している。 同社の株価は月曜日の取引で4.7%下落した。年初来では29%の下落となっている。
