All mining companies today are faced with the impacts of this metal crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  >\n<p>Meeting today under the chairmanship of Patrick Buffet, the Board of Directors of the ERAMET Groupe decided to strengthen the operational action plan to improve the free cash flow:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Industrial investments essentially limited to safety and strict maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>Suspension of the ERAMET Groupe\u2019s major projects.<\/li>\n<li>Pursuit of asset disposal programme underway.<\/li>\n<li>Rigorous pursuit of 2014-2017 plan to reduce costs and improve productivity aimed at generating an annual impact on current operating income of \u20ac360 million at the end of the plan compared with 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this very difficult market environment, the ERAMET Groupe maintains financial liquidity of \u20ac1.8 billion (of which \u20ac981 million in undrawn confirmed credit line).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the Board meeting, Patrick Buffet said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the particularly deteriorated market conditions, the Board of Directors has decided to limit industrial investments and to suspend the ERAMET Groupe\u2019s major projects. The Board will review regularly the Groupe\u2019s investment capacity.<\/p>\n<p>All of our teams are strongly committed to pursuing with determination the 2014-2017 plan to reduce costs and improve productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we are also actively pursuing our asset disposal programme.<\/p>\n<p>Looking beyond today\u2019s metal crisis, stemming largely from the trend in the Chinese economy, the Groupe\u2019s markets continue to show fundamental potential in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a global environment in which metal prices have reached their lowest level in 15 years, the ERAMET Groupe is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-finance-en","nature-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
