CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
In 2023 we saw a prolonged and sustained decline in ferroalloy prices throughout the year, with prices globally declining by more than 20% for the full year. This decline resulted in ferroalloy prices declining two years in a row from their peak in 2021, at the height of the supply chain and energy crisis caused by COVID and the stimulus policies of that time. As we shared last year, supply shortages anticipated from geopolitical conflicts did not materialize, and producers who added to capacity were left with a net surplus. Today, prices are firmly in pre-COVID territory, but nascent signals suggest that this longer than usual decline from a higher than usual peak has run its course.
Looking at the manganese alloy markets, we saw silicomanganese test the US$840-850 CIF Japan price floor twice towards the end of 2023, during a particularly challenging quarter. Since then, prices have rebounded and remained firmly above US$900, with certain contracts closing US$100 higher than the bottom of the market. This suggests both supply discipline from certain producers, and declining capacity utilization in much of the developed world. For ferrosilicon, while we look to China as marginal suppliers to the market, much of 2024 will hinge on the outcome of the attempt to nationalize Russia's largest ferrosilicon producer. If this process is successful, it is likely that more consumers will shun products of Russian origin, depriving the global markets of a major supplier of ferrosilicon. These factors are also partially reflected in order books, with near term months selling down at a faster pace.
Our Sarawak Plant continues to operate from a unique position, with access to long-term competitive hydropower, anchoring its ability to produce energy-intensive ferroalloy efficiently and cleanly. Ferroalloy production for the year was 433,961 tonnes, 20% higher than the prior year, and outperforming initial guidance for the year. This was due to shorter downtime from maintenance, as well as re-purposing the modified silicon metal furnaces to capture margins for ferrosilicon. We anticipate restarting silicon metal commissioning this year.
We continue to carry out rehabilitation activities at our Bootu Creek Mine with a focus on repairing landforms to prepare for seeding after the year-end wet season. With an environmental bond of US$7.9 million lodged with the Northern Territory Government in Australia, we are concurrently working on a revised Mine Management Plan which will outline the revised mine closure criteria, allowing for proportional refund applications. With planned rectification works in place, we expect to restart the Ultra Fines Plant in Q4 2024.
In 2023, we also concluded the sale of 90% of our smelter in China for consideration of approximately US$25.8 million. The proceeds received to date of approximately US$10.2 million have been deployed to working capital needs and sustaining capital expenditure. With a 10% retention stake in the asset, we continue to maintain a strategic relationship with the new owners and expect to provide marketing and procurement services when the production restarts.
Despite challenging market conditions, we managed to generate US$94.9 million in EBITDA for the year. While overall production and trading volume increased, this was offset by lower average selling prices across all products, significantly compressing margins. Given the natural logistics time lag between importing raw materials, stocking at site, and shipping our products, performance will always be impacted in a declining market environment where raw material costs and selling prices are declining in tandem. We expect this effect to reverse itself as markets stabilize, and to work in our favour as prices start improving.
Total borrowings increased slightly as revolving credit facilities were drawn to facilitate the acquisition of the remaining 25% of OM Sarawak in December 2022. This was subsequently offset with ongoing principal loan repayments which amounted to US$47.6 million in 2023, majority of which related to the Sarawak smelter project financing. For full year 2023, we effectively maintained total borrowings to equity at 0.64 times.
On the corporate front, we successfully placed 27,633,464 fully paid ordinary shares in December 2023 to JFE Shoji, our decade long business partner, for consideration of approximately A$13 million. This coincides with the end of a term loan that JFE had maintained with the Company and had extended periodically, since the inception of the Sarawak Plant. We welcome JFE as a shareholder and look to strengthening the relationship for new developments and partnerships.
This year, we achieved a notable milestone in our sustainability journey as OM Sarawak received ISO 14001 and 45001 certifications for Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health management systems. These certifications, accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), underscore our dedication to maintaining international standards and reflect our ongoing sustainability commitment.
As we enter the third year of our sustainability reporting, we've taken a significant step forward by incorporating Scope 3 data into our greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting. We are pleased to share that our GHG statement, prepared in accordance with ISO14064-1:2018, underwent thorough verification by a reputable third-party consultant, affirming its satisfactory status. We have also expanded our Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) exercise this year to include ferrosilicon, which complemented the analyses conducted on manganese ore and manganese alloys over the past two years. This gives us a more holistic understanding of our products' environmental impact across its lifecycle - from raw material extraction to production and use, allowing for more informed decision making on minimizing our footprint while maximizing resource efficiency.
Looking ahead, our long term vision remains clear despite headwinds in the market. While still prioritising the hot commissioning of the silicon metal furnaces, the decision to fully ramp up to commercial production and enter the market is strategic, as we aim to await the opportune moment to enter the market, ensuring optimal returns for our stakeholders.
While we continue to produce our core products - ferrosilicon and manganese alloys, we are also looking at developing various bespoke and higher value-added products in 2024, working closely with steel makers who supply specialized steel products to the EV motor supply chain. Cost management initiatives and operational efficiencies will remain a focus area to strengthen and support the Company's financial performance through the current round of market cycle recovery.
Beyond market fundamentals, the Company stands to benefit as the region's lowest cost quartile producer. This competitive advantage, combined with our operational expertise and market know-how in managing product flows flexibly, positions the Company favourably for a market recovery.
I would like to express my gratitude to all stakeholders, especially our long-term shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers for the unwavering support and confidence throughout this challenging period. We remain committed to creating value for all stakeholders and seek to be the region's leading suppliers, while pursuing organic growth sustainably.
