Champion Iron Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
Key points for investors: 1) Operations: Q1 FY2026 shipped ~3.8 million tonnes dry (~4.0 Mt wet) via rail (roughly a 16 Mt annual run-rate) and produced ~3.5 Mt, below target due to harder-than-expected ore from a small southern center-pit zone and a ~2-day Hydro-Québec power shutdown. Management expects the harder-ore contribution to be reduced in the second half of the fiscal year, with near-term quarters remaining similar. 2) Costs & inventory: Reported delivered cash cost ~CAD 82/t; elevated by ~CAD 8/t from two effects — ~CAD 4/t inventory/rehandling impact from drawing 440k t from stockpiles (stockpile now ~2.1 Mt) and ~CAD 4/t volume effect (of which ~CAD 3/t is attributed to ore hardness / lower recovery). Target operational inventory level is roughly 75k–250k t. 3) Financials & liquidity: Revenue ~CAD 390M, EBITDA ~CAD 60M, EPS CAD 0.05, cash increased from CAD 117M to ~CAD 176M (warrant exercises contributed ~CAD 37M). Management issued a new USD high-yield note (~USD 500M) to repay revolving/term debt and improve liquidity. 4) Growth projects: Flotation plant (to produce 69% DR-grade material) remains on track for completion by December (within the CAD 470M budget); Phase-2 product will be predominantly contracted long-term while flotation tonnes will be targeted for longer-term contracts (reducing spot exposure). 5) Sales & market: Management is pursuing contracts in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe for DR-grade/DR pellet-linked pricing; expects to sign initial contracts by end of this calendar year or early next to start shipments Apr–May. 6) Strategic partnerships: Entered a definitive framework agreement with Nippon Steel and Sojitz for the Kami project; feasibility/permitting work to proceed. 7) Outlook: Near-term production/cost headwinds from ore hardness and stockpile drawdown, but rail throughput and mine equipment performance show operational positives; management confident in moving to higher-value DR-grade market and in long-term growth via Kami and the flotation plant.
