PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
2012 Highlights
Shipments totaled 18.6 million tonnes, down 3% from the prior year, mainly due to the lower exports from Brazil, which were partially redirected to the domestic market, where shipments grew 5%.
In 2012, consolidated net sales totaled R$ 38.0 billion, a 7% increase compared to 2011. This performance occurred by improvement in net sales per tonne shipped, which offset the lower shipments.
The 2012 EBITDA reached R$ 4.2 billion, down from 2011 due to the increase in costs outpacing the increase in net sales per tonne shipped.
Consolidated net income totaled R$ 1.5 billion in 2012. Based on such results, the payment of R$ 408 million in dividends and interest on capital stock was deliberated to the shareholders of Gerdau S.A., and R$ 130 million to the shareholders of Metalurgica Gerdau S.A.
The investments realized in 2012 totaled R$ 3.1 billion, with the highlight for the conclusion of the installation of a rolling mill to produce coiled hot-rolled strips at Ouro Branco mill – Minas Gerais, marking Gerdau's entry into the flat steel market. For the period 2013 to 2017 Gerdau revised its investment plan for R$ 8.5 billion.
