Fortescue Metals Group Recovers After Setbacks
Fortescue Metals Group (ASX:FMG) managed to recover most of the tonnage lost due to December's derailment and adverse weather in the first quarter of this year, according to its 2023-24 production and sales report released on Thursday.
根据周四发布的2023-24年生产和销售报告，Fortescue Metals Group（澳大利亚证券交易所股票代码：FMG）成功收复了今年第一季度因12月出轨和恶劣天气而损失的大部分吨位。
Fortescue reported shipping 191.6 million tonnes of iron ore, including a small contribution from its 69% Iron Bridge magnetite mine for the 12 months to June 30, compared to 192.0 million tonnes the previous year.
Fortescue报告称，在截至6月30日的12个月中，运送了19160万吨铁矿石，其中包括其69％的铁桥磁铁矿的少量捐助，而去年为19200万吨。
A record-breaking 53.7 million tonnes (including a small tonnage from Iron Bridge) were shipped in the three months to June, allowing Fortescue to catch up and nearly surpass 2022-23's record performance.
在截至6月的三个月中，出货量创纪录的5370万吨（包括来自铁桥的一小吨位），这使Fortescue得以赶上，几乎超过了2022-23年的创纪录表现。
This June quarter effort represented a 10% increase from the previous year and occurred despite rivals BHP and Rio Tinto reporting solid but steady performances during their latest reporting periods.
尽管竞争对手必和必拓和力拓在最近的报告期内报告了稳健但稳定的表现，但今年6月季度的业绩仍比上年增长了10％。
Fortescue had previously forecast total iron ore shipments of between 192 million and 197 million tonnes for the 12-month period, including approximately 2 million tonnes from its Iron Bridge project. As anticipated, Iron Bridge fell short with just 1.2 million tonnes.
Fortescue此前曾预测，12个月期间铁矿石的总出货量在19200万至19700万吨之间，其中包括来自其铁桥项目的约20万吨。正如预期的那样，Iron Bridge的产量仅为120万吨。
In April, the company indicated it expected annual iron ore shipments at the lower end of its forecast range due to an ore car derailment and wet weather affecting its operations. Leaks in a water pipeline also slowed production at its Iron Bridge site, though some issues may have been mitigated by changes in water management.
该公司在4月份表示，由于矿车出轨和潮湿天气影响其运营，预计铁矿石年出货量将处于预测区间的较低水平。尽管水资源管理的变化可能缓解了一些问题，但输水管道的泄漏也减缓了其铁桥工厂的生产。
Nevertheless, Fortescue remained optimistic about its performance in the latest quarter, which saw iron ore shipments reach a new all-time high of 53.7 million tonnes, up 10% from the same period a year ago.
尽管如此，Fortescue仍对其在最近一个季度的表现持乐观态度，该季度的铁矿石出货量创下了5370万吨的历史新高，比去年同期增长了10％。
"This record result demonstrated the efficiencies gained through our recovery plan following the ore car derailment in December 2023," CEO Dino Otranto said in Thursday's statement.
首席执行官迪诺·奥特朗托在周四的声明中表示：“这一创纪录的结果表明，在2023年12月矿车出轨之后，我们的恢复计划提高了效率。”
Fortescue's quarterly and full-year production and sales report followed news of a significant restructuring, announced 8 days earlier, which will result in 700 job losses and the merger of the company's energy and iron ore businesses.
Fortescue的季度和全年产量和销售报告是在8天前宣布的重大重组的消息之后发布的，这将导致700个工作岗位流失以及该公司的能源和铁矿石业务合并。
Looking ahead to 2024-25, Fortescue expects to ship between 190 million and 200 million tonnes of iron ore in the 12 months through June 2025, including 5 million to 9 million tonnes of magnetite from Iron Bridge.
展望2024-25年，Fortescue预计在截至2025年6月的12个月内将运送19000万至2万吨铁矿石，其中包括来自铁桥的500万至900万吨磁铁矿。
