Factors at Play

Teck’s steelmaking coal segment will likely have gained from record steelmaking coal FOB prices and strong demand from steelmakers in second-quarter 2022. The company recently stated that the average realized steelmaking coal price in the June-end quarter was $453 per ton, reflecting year-over-year growth of 27%. Its second-quarter steelmaking coal sales were 6.3 million tons, higher than the volume of 6.2 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The figure matched the low end of the company's guidance in the band of 6.3-6.7 million tons. TECK expects to record provisional pricing adjustments of a negative $73 million in the quarter due to the dip in coal prices at the end of the second quarter.

The company’s concentrate Red Dog zinc sales in the April-June quarter are expected to have reflected the normal seasonal pattern of Red Dog sales. Red Dog sales for the quarter are expected to be between 50,000 and 70,000 tons.

Teck is bearing the brunt of inflationary cost pressures, particularly in diesel prices and transportation costs. Mining equipment, fuel, tires and explosives costs are also high due to price increases for certain commodities such as steel, crude oil and natural gas. These factors will likely have dented the company’s margin in the second quarter. Strong performance of its mine operations are expected to have negated some of the impact.
