Steel cycle and EBITDA/cash flow relationship

Comments

Klöckner & Co buys and sells products at spot prices generally

Sales increase as a function of the steel price inflation environment

Cost of material are based on an average cost method for inventory and therefore lag the steel price increase

This time lag creates accounting windfall profits (windfall losses in a decreasing steel price environment) inflating (deflating) EBITDA

Assuming stable inventory volume cash flow is impacted by higher NWC needs

The windfall profits (losses) are mirrored by inventory book value increases (decreases)
