AK Steel Has Best Q3 Since 2008
Written by Sandy Williams
AK Steel’s efforts to focus on higher value products, cut costs and reduce exposure to commodity products has resulted in a net income of $50.9 million and the company’s best third quarter since 2008. Adjusted EBITDA margins improved to 10.8 percent from 7 percent a year ago.
“De-emphasizing commodity products and introducing new products, such as our recently announced NEXMET™ line of next-generation advanced high strength steels, are examples of our ongoing work to differentiate ourselves in the market today and for the future, and to drive long-term shareholder value,” said CEO Roger Newport.
