Press Release
INCREASED 2021 OUTLOOK
Boulogne-Billancourt (France), April 30th,2021 - Vallourec announces today to increase its 2021 outlook.
After completing the periodic business outlook review of the various activities of the Group, Vallourec now targets for 2021 a €350 to €400 million EBITDA and a (€340) to (€260) million free cash flow.
This stems from better perspectives on some of the markets where the Group operates, with in particular higher expected volumes and sales prices for OCTG in North America, and a higher contribution from the iron ore mine in Brazil.
The new free cash flow objective includes a ca. €65 million additional cash outflow, resulting from the exercise of the repurchase option for the debt of the lease contract (DBOT) in Brazil. The capex envelope of ca. €160 million is unchanged.
Q1 results will be released on 20th May 2021.
