• In Q3 2018, EVRAZ’ consolidated crude steel output fell by 10.3% QoQ to 3.1 million tonnes, primarily due to lower pig iron
production.
• Sales of finished products descended slightly by 1.2%, which was mostly attributable to lower sales volumes of railway products
and flat-rolled products. Sales volumes of semi-finished products edged down by 0.7%, primarily due to lower crude steel
production.
• Production of raw coking coal climbed by 9.6% QoQ to 5.9 million tonnes due to increased productivity at the Raspadsky open-pit
mine.
• Coking coal product sales dropped by 8.3% QoQ, mainly due to logistical limitations amid maintenance works at railroads in
Russia.
• External iron ore product sales fell by 15.9% QoQ, primarily as a result of increasing stockpiles to ensure stable production
volumes and steady shipments to customers during the capital repairs of EVRAZ KGOK’s indurating machine no. 1 in
September-October.
• Sales of vanadium products declined by 3.9% QoQ, mainly due to large maintenance at EVRAZ Vanady-Tula to reline the roasting
kiln refractories as well as replace the grinding mill (during September and October) and regular annual maintenance at EVRAZ
Nikom.

★Northern Europe Rebar Prices Dip with Consumer Buying Limited to the Short Term
The price for rebar produced and delivered in Northern Europe edged down on Wednesday November 28, with consumers only
6 / 22
willing to commit to purchases in the near term amid uncertainty surrounding the market further ahead.
Fastmarkets’ weekly price assessment for domestic rebar in Northern Europe slipped to €540-560 ($611-634) per tonne delivered on
Wednesday, from €550-560 per tonne a week ago. The low end of the range has trended higher in recent weeks as producers
pushed for higher prices due to their own increasing costs, but has now slipped with some sellers accepting the lower numbers to
secure deliveries.
“Customers are buying normal volumes for normal consumption, but there is no buying wave,” a producer said.
A number of sellers have been forecasting a spate of forward buying from consumers looking to secure first-quarter 2019 volumes,
but that has yet to transpire. It is becoming more accepted now that consumers may be able to maintain their very short term outlook
at least until February, when the European safeguard import quotas are renewed.
Presently the quotas are rapidly filling and there will be a period after they are completely full but before they are renewed when
some domestic producers were hopeful of an opportunity to grow market share or raise prices. But with limited demand in their own
end-user markets, many rebar buyers will simply hold off on purchases until the quotas renew, when imported material will once
again be able to compete with domestic metal.
“Importers could start booking now for February, but until then they’ll just be buying what they need in the short term,” the producer
said.
Around 72.4%, or 517,464 tonnes, of the European safeguard import quota for rebar - under tariff codes 7214 20 00 00 and 7214 99
10 00 - has been taken up so far, according to the EU tariff quota consultation. This compared with 67% or 479,050 tonnes a week
ago.
Fastmarkets’ weekly price assessment for rebar imported into Northern Europe was €500-505 per tonne cfr main ports on November
28, unchanged from last week.
