Outlook and focus areas Wim de Klerk
Group outlook Domestic steel demand expected to remain subdued - low economic growth/lack of infrastructure spend Flat business should benefit when the safeguards are implemented Long business should improve pending coal and scrap prices plus the full benefit of heavy sections/rail Export markets likely to be more resilient - Africa should experience growth in demand of about 2% to 3% Volatility in the rand/us dollar exchange rate will continue to have a material impact on financial results 3
Action plan Procurement initiatives Organisational and industrial footprint Commercial initiatives Short term initiatives Utmost cost control over contracts Conclude lower electricity and rail tariffs Raw material analysis Benchmark initiatives Production lines Capex requirements Improve market share/increase volumes Focus on AoL Product range Productivity improvements Asset disposal Excess material Structural changes 31
