Steel Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Company Ships Record Quarterly Sales
Volume;
Closes its Previously Announced $7.5
Million Private Placement
BEIJING – November 14, 2014 –
General Steel Holdings, Inc. (“General Steel” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GSI), a leading non-state-controlled
steel producer in China, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. The Company will
file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission following market close on Friday, November 14, 2014.
Henry Yu, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of General Steel commented, “We continued to witness improving demand for our products in Western China, as our sale
volume grew more than 15% year-over-year to 1.45 million metric tons, the highest ever quarterly volume for General Steel. This
quarter, a number of smaller and unqualified steel mills were forced to exit the market, in light of which, we strategically offered
attractive discounts in neighboring markets to expand our geographic footprint.”
Mr. Yu continued, “We anticipate
the price of iron ore will continue on its downward trend, and with our better market position, improved industry fundamentals,
and higher production efficiency, we are solidly positioned to earn greater profits in 2015. We expect to harvest the fruits of
our continuous cost cutting measures and equipment upgrades and optimization over the past couple of years, and we look forward
to a broadening geographic footprint, improving efficiency, expanding operating leverage, and ultimately rising profitability.”
Mr. Yu concluded.
John Chen, Chief Financial Officer of General
Steel, commented, “As we strategically discounted our products in order to establish a foothold into neighboring markets,
our average selling price declined by 20.7% year-over-year in the third quarter. However, as the cost of iron ore decreased by
25.3% year-over-year, we were able to achieve leverage from the increased sales volume and expanded our quarterly gross margin
by 40 basis points and gross profits by 16.8% year-over-year.”
Mr. Chen then stated, “This December,
we will complete an upgrade to an existing 450 cubic-meter blast furnace with a much larger and more efficient 1,800 cubic-meter
blast furnace. This new equipment and expanded volume will enable a higher utilization of raw materials, better conversion rate,
and lower energy consumption during iron smelting, and ultimately generating further savings in our unit production cost. As we
complete our investment and upgrade plans in 2014, we enter 2015 with genuine optimism.”
