    Aperam boekt hogere omzet, buigt verlies om in winst

    AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Aperam sa (056997440.LU) heeft in het derde kwartaal een hogere omzet geboekt dan een jaar terug en schreef weer zwarte cijfers, onder meer dankzij kostenbesparingen, maar is voorzichtig over het vierde kwartaal gezien de economische omstandigheden.

    "Aperam blijft solide resultaten afleveren", zegt chief executive Philippe Darmayan in toelichting op de kwartaalcijfers. "Voor het vierde kwartaal blijven we voorzichtig gezien de algehele economische omgeving. We hebben er echter vertrouwen in dat we de operationele prestaties kunnen blijven verbeteren en onze balans verder kunnen versterken."

    De producent van roestvast staal verwacht voor het vierde kwartaal een daling van de winst voor rente, belasting, afschrijvingen en amortisatie (EBITDA) in vergelijking tot het derde kwartaal.

    De EBITDA kwam in het derde kwartaal uit op $137 miljoen, ten opzichte van $62 miljoen in dezelfde periode een jaar eerder. Verbeterprogramma The Leadership Journey heeft inmiddels $415 miljoen opgeleverd op EBITDA-niveau sinds begin 2011.

    De nettowinst kwam over het derde kwartaal uit op $21 miljoen tegenover een verlies van $19 miljoen een jaar terug. De omzet steeg naar $1,353 miljard van $1,204 miljard in het derde kwartaal van 2013.

    Aperam verscheepte de afgelopen drie maanden voor 433.000 ton aan staal, een afname van 7% ten opzichte van het tweede kwartaal, vooral door seizoensinvloeden.

    De nettoschuld van het bedrijf daalde tot $591 miljoen per eind september, vergeleken met $663 miljoen drie maanden eerder. Aperam wil de schuld in het vierde kwartaal verder terugbrengen.

    Rustig, rustig zeg.

    Natuurlijk is Aperam op de goede weg. Een koersexplosie zie ik echter niet gebeuren (ik hoop er natuurlijk wel op als behoorlijke aandeelhouder).:-)

    Ik denk toch, dat een aantal min- puntjes wellicht "zwaar" zullen vallen bij sommige analisten?

    Ik vind het wel fijn, dat het Aperam management een eerlijk vooruitzicht durft te geven voor het 4e kwartaal. Dat zouden meer bedrijven moeten doen.

    Gezien de USA koersen en het algemeen sentiment, voorzie ik zeker geen koersdaling. Dit is natuurlijk wel mijn eigen mening. Niemand kan nu de koersontwikkeling voorspellen.

    Succes morgen!
