Algoma Steel Provides Fiscal 2022 Third Quarter Update
Expects all 37.5 million shares to be issued pursuant to Earnout rights
Financial results expected to be in line with previous guidance
SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO (January 10, 2022) Algoma Steel Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTL; TSX: ASTL) (Algoma), a leading Canadian producer of hot and cold rolled steel sheet and plate products, today announced that based on the current estimates of Algomas Earnout Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Merger Agreement with Legato Merger Corporation) for calendar year-end 2021, it is currently expected that all 37.5 million Algoma common shares will be issued pursuant to the Earnout Rights as prescribed in the Merger Agreement.
We were pleased with the Companys performance during the quarter, with expected financial results in line with our previous fiscal third quarter Adjusted EBITDA guidance, albeit on lower than planned shipments of approximately 550,000 tons, as compared to the previously issued guidance of 590,000 to 610,000 tons. Actual shipments were impacted by various issues including increased holiday shutdowns by customers, logistical supply chain constraints, and COVID-related challenges. As a result, our steel inventory has increased, and we expect to ship these deferred tons over the next two fiscal quarters. Algomas high percentage of contract business offers stability during periods of volatility and this, combined with the strong demand and improving pricing we are seeing for our plate products, has positioned us well to continue delivering strong results to our shareholders, said Michael McQuade, Algomas Chief Executive Officer.
