Ferrexpo Q3 output lifted by strong Chinese demand

Mon 06 Oct 2025 07:07

(Sharecast News) - Mining giant Ferrexpo reported a modest rise in third-quarter output on Monday, as strong Chinese demand for high-grade concentrate helped offset reduced pellet production amid liquidity constraints. Total commercial production rose 3.3% quarter-on-quarter to 1.51m tonnes, though it remained 29% below Q1 levels. Pellet output fell 22.3% to 639,963 tonnes, while concentrate volumes surged 36.1% to 871,323 tonnes, driven by demand for low-alumina 67% Fe material.

The FTSE 250-listed group said VAT refund suspensions in Ukraine had forced it to operate just one pellet line, with $47m in withheld refunds to date, potentially rising to $58m. Ferrexpo continued to cut costs, with 20% of staff on furlough or reduced hours and non-essential spending suspended.

Nine-month production was broadly flat year-on-year at 5.07m tonnes, with concentrate output up nearly fourfold. Ferrexp also noted ongoing logistical challenges from intensified aerial attacks on Ukraine's rail and energy infrastructure.
