Operating segment results analysis
Stainless & Electrical Steel

The Stainless & Electrical Steel segment had sales of USD 883 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. This represents an 8% increase compared to sales of USD 819 million for the third quarter of 2016. Steel shipments during the fourth quarter were 452 thousand tonnes. This is a 3% increase compared to shipments of 438 thousand tonnes during the previous quarter. The volume increase was mainly due to the traditional seasonal recovery in Europe following the summer seasonal effect. Overall, average selling prices for the Stainless & Electrical Steel segment increased compared to the previous quarter.
The segment had EBITDA of USD 410 million (of which USD 286 million from Europe and USD 124 million from South America) for the year 2016 compared to USD 438 million (of which USD 243 million from Europe and USD 195 million from South America) for the year 2015. The Brazilian market has been challenging over 2016 due to macro-economic environment and foreign exchange effects which have been partly mitigated thanks to the Top Line strategy and Leadership Journey®. The strong performance of Europe over 2016 is mainly due to the continuous contribution of the Leadership Journey®, healthy demand in Europe and some stainless steel prices recovery during the second half of the year.
The segment had EBITDA of USD 117 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to USD 102 million for the third quarter of 2016. The seasonality in Brazil was more than offset by the seasonal recovery in Europe and the continuous recovery of the stainless steel prices.

Depreciation and amortisation expense was USD 37 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.  

The Stainless & Electrical Steel segment had an operating income of USD 80 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to an operating income of USD 65 million during the third quarter of 2016.

The Services & Solutions segment had higher average selling prices during the period compared to the previous period.  
The segment had EBITDA of USD 82 million during the year 2016 compared to USD 42 million during the year 2015, due to better margins and shipments over the year as well as the absence of negative impact on inventories from the nickel price evolution compared to 2015.
The segment had EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2016 of USD 12 million compared to EBITDA of USD 24 million for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease of EBITDA was primarily due to a non-recurring and non-cash charge of USD 11 million in relation with the fair valuation of a French stainless steel welded tubes unit which is held for sale.

Depreciation and amortisation was USD 3 million and impairment charges were USD 8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016.
