High quality pellet feed - a market with big potential
•
Pellet feed imports will almost double over the next
five years, reaching 110Mt by 2020, taking China’s
import dependency for pellet feed from 35% to 50%.
•
The spread between pellet feed and sinter fines
switched from a discount to a premium. This
premium has averaged almost US$3/t during 2014.

Seeking higher margins in CAP Mining
Reorientation of product mix
•
Shipments for around 16 million MT in 2015 consider an increase in pellets, to a total of 4 million MT
•
The change in the mix should enhance margins, as pellets have a premium over the pellet feed

Continued efforts in reducing costs and expenses, combined with a weaker Chilean
Peso, lower oil prices and idle capacity in the mining services industry in Chile will
reduce the average 2014 FOB cash cost of US$ 49.2 per ton to approximately
US$ 44.0 per ton in 2015
40
External factors could bring benefits to CAP Steel
Lower prices of raw materials for steel production, and a depreciated Chilean Peso
would lead CSH to positive results during 2015

Reorganization and adjustments in Steel Processing
Reorganization of the company
•
The reorganization of the company to achieve a simpler organizational structure decreased SG&A
expenses in 18.2% as of December 2014, YoY
•
It also resulted in the availability of assets for sale or rental:
• Centroacero: 55,600 m2, US$1.3 million yearly
• Varco Pruden: 36,000 m2, US$0.8 million yearly
Working capital adjustments
•
Inventories will be reduced during 2015, to free up cash
Positive economic outlook for Peru
•
Through its business in Peru, Tupemesa S.A., the steel processing group will benefit from good levels

Protecting CAP’s cash flow and liquidity levels
Current investment plan reached its
final stage
•
The period within 2011 and 2014 was
strong in terms of capital expenditure, due
to the capacity increase in Los Colorados
mine (brownfield) and the development of
Cerro Negro Norte (greenfield)
There are no relevant investments
planned for the short-term, therefore
pressure on cash disbursements will be
diminished
