Stock exchange release
September 26, 2022 at 4.00 pm EEST

Outokumpu restates consolidated statement of income and relevant Group and segment key figures for 2021 and first half of 2022 to reflect the divestment of majority of its Long Products business

On July 12, Outokumpu announced that it has signed an agreement to divest the majority of the Long Products business operations to Marcegaglia Steel Group, a leading industrial group worldwide in the steel processing sector. Outokumpu will focus on its core business of flat stainless steel products.

 

The total consideration on a debt and cash free basis amounts to EUR 228 million, implying an EV / Adjusted 2021 EBITDA multiple of 4.9x. Outokumpu expects the transaction to strengthen its financial position.

 

The divestment is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals by the competition authorities and requires for instance internal structuring before completion. The transaction will be carried out as a share sale.

 

Adjusted EBITDA of business area Long Products accounted for approximately 5% of the Group's adjusted EBITDA in 2021. The transaction includes Long Products’ melting, rod and bar operations in Sheffield, UK; bar operations in Richburg, the US; and wire rod mill in Fagersta, Sweden. The transaction does not include Outokumpu Long Products operations in Degerfors and Storfors in Sweden, whose adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 8 million in 2021. The above mentioned units continue their operations for now as part of the Outokumpu Group, and different options are to be evaluated for the future of the units.

 

For more information about business area Long Products' financials, please see Outokumpu’s interim reports and Financial Statements.

 

Comparative financial information

 

In the January–September 2022 interim report, Outokumpu will classify its Long Products businesses to be divested as assets held for sale and report the businesses as discontinued operations. In January-September interim report, result from the discontinued operations will be reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations in the consolidated income statement and prior periods are restated accordingly. The balance sheet will not be restated for prior periods. Assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations will be presented as separate line items in the balance sheet starting from January–September 2022 reporting period. The statement of cash flow will consist of total Group figures, including also the discontinued operations.

 

The 2021 and first half of 2022 comparable historical financial information for the Group’s condensed income statement, as well as Group and segment key figures are presented later in this release. Income statement and three main categories of cash flow for the discontinued operations are presented for both half-year and full-year financials as those reports are drawn up in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial reporting. Unless stated otherwise, all figures refer to Outokumpu’s continuing operations.

 

Intra-group revenues and expenses between continuing and discontinued operations are eliminated in continuing operations only when the revenues and expenses are not considered to continue after the disposal of the discontinued operations.
