Severstal, one of Russia’s major steel makers announced operational results today for Q1 CY20.

The company’s total steel production of crude steel was registered at 2.85 MnT, increased by 5% on Q-o-Q basis, driven by an increased number of castings in Q1 CY20 and the completion of short-term maintenance works at steelmaking facilities in Q4 CY19.

Consolidated steel product sales increased 4% Q-o-Q to 2.75 MnT in Q1 CY20 as compared to 2.65 MnT in Q4 CY19.

The Company increased its share of steel export shipments to 45% from 41% in Q4 CY’19, responding to a seasonal slowdown in domestic demand.
