SSAB AB, a prominent player in the steel industry, specializes in producing high-strength steel and is recognized for its commitment to sustainable practices, with operations spanning Europe and North America.
In its latest earnings report for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, SSAB AB faced a challenging market environment, reflected in a decline in revenue and operating results compared to the previous year. Despite these challenges, the company maintained strong cash flow and continued its strategic investments, particularly in its transformation projects aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
Key highlights include a 13% decline in full-year revenue to SEK 103,418 million and a significant drop in operating results to SEK 7,860 million. The company attributed these decreases to lower prices, particularly in SSAB Americas, and challenging market conditions in Europe and North America. Nevertheless, SSAB is progressing with its transformation projects in Luleå and Oxelösund, expected to significantly enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
Looking ahead, SSAB anticipates continued weak demand in its primary markets but expects a seasonal improvement in shipments in the first quarter of 2025. The company remains focused on executing its transformation projects, which are expected to improve its EBITDA and reduce maintenance costs substantially.
