Cleveland-Cliffs, one of the Calumet Region s largest industrial employers, forecasts it will pull in about $3.5 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization this year if prices hold up.
The Cleveland-based steelmaker, which bought ArcelorMittal USA and AK Steel last year, projects it will bring in $500 million in EBITDA in the first quarter and $1.2 billion in EBITDA in the second quarter of 2021. The projections assume hot-rolled coil prices in the United States will continue to average $975 per ton for the rest of the year.
Cleveland-Cliffs plans to report its first-quarter earnings on April 22.
Last year, the steelmaker pulled in $353 million in EBITDA but posted a loss of $81 million because of $186 million in costs related to acquisition, severance and inventory step-up. It posted a strong fourth quarter in which it completed its acquisition of ArcelorMittal USA, pulling in a profit of $74 million on $286 million in EBITDA.
