Ferrous metals
In Europe, where the Group conducts 85% of its business, volumes processed were 4.1% higher than the previous year. This is the second consecutive quarter that the comparison has been favorable. On a full-year basis, volumes of ferrous metals processed were up
1.1% on the previous year (0.8% like-for-like). This growth would appear to confirm the
Group's hypothesis that the low point was reached at the end of the first half.
In the Americas, volumes processed in the fourth quarter were down 19.8% on the same period the previous year. On a full-year basis, volumes were down 21.2%. This was mainly due to management's decision to prioritize margins over market share.
Across all regions combined and given the respective percentage share of the various regions, the volume of ferrous metals processed in the fourth quarter was practically identical to the previous year. On a full-year basis, the Group processed 3.692 million tonnes, down 2.8% on the previous year.
In the fourth quarter, volumes were up 17.3% on the previous year. On a full-year basis, volumes were up 10.8%. Most families of metals contributed to this increase but, in particular, stainless steel scrap.
The price of secondary raw materials sold by the Group was, on the whole, down on the previous year, especially for non-ferrous metals, to such an extent that revenue was down more than volumes processed.
