“我们在这个季度取得了很大的进步啊n our priority projects, including safely ramping back up construction at our QB2 project and advancing the Neptune Bulk Terminals upgrade in line with schedule and budget. Our financial performance recovered strongly from a second quarter that was significantly negatively impacted by COVID-19, and despite the decline in realized steelmaking coal prices, we posted gains in profitability and operating cash flows,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO. “Across our business, our people have adapted to the new normal of operating through the pandemic, staying focused on health and safety while continuing to responsibly produce materials essential to the global economic recovery.”

Highlights

Key Updates

Increasing margins - not volumes - in our steelmaking coal business

  • Steelmaking coal adjusted site cash cost of sales(1) (2)decreased in the third quarter to $67 per tonne. Adjusted site cash cost of sales(1) (2)are expected to decrease over the remainder of 2020 and we expect to exit the year below $60 per tonne due to:
    • Declining strip ratios, as planned;
    • Elkview plant expansion and the closure of our higher cost Cardinal River Operations; and
    • Benefits of our cost reduction and RACE21™ programs.
  • We are nearing completion of construction of our Fording River South Active Water Treatment Facility (completion expected near the end of Q1 2021) and the Elkview saturated rock fill will be commissioned in Q4 2020, ahead of schedule and under budget.

Neptune Bulk Terminals – securing a low-cost reliable supply chain for our steelmaking coal business unit

  • The Neptune Bulk Terminals upgrade project remains in line with the previously announced capital estimate and schedule.

  • To date, COVID-19 related issues have not substantially impacted works on the critical path.

  • The five-month planned shutdown at Neptune Bulk Terminals concluded in September, having delivered the expected benefits for safe and productive construction work on the upgrade project. Construction is progressing according to plan, with completion expected in Q1 2021.

  • Major equipment deliveries are complete with all equipment on site, concluding with the new shiploader arrival at the terminal on October 8.Click herefor photos and video of delivery and installation of the new shiploader at Neptune Bulk Terminals.

  • Operational readiness efforts are well underway with commissioning on major pieces of equipment including the single dumper and stacker reclaimer proceeding according to, or ahead of, plan.

Executing on our copper growth strategy– QB2 a长寿命,low-cost operationwithmajor expansion potential

  • Through Q3, the project continued its staged ramp up of the construction workforce towards pre-COVID-19 levels in line with our plans developed in Q2.
    • Currently over 7,000 people on site and planning to continue ramp up through Q4, targeting over 9,000 people by the end of the year;
    • All major contractors remobilized and work is progressing well across the project in line with our ramp-up plan;
    • The construction of the additional camp space is progressing well and will provide additional capacity as this begins to come on line in Q4; and
    • Aiming to achieve overall project progress of approximately 40% by the end of the year.
  • 第一次生产预计在2022年下半年,但取决于我们能否继续成功地通过COVID-19进行管理。COVID-19导致的临时暂停的成本和进度影响估计如下:万博max手机登陆
    • In Q3, we expensed approximately $107 million of costs associated with the QB2 project suspension and remobilization and $23 million of interest that would have otherwise been capitalized for the project;
    • As at the end of Q3 2020, due to the suspension, we have expensed total costs of $272 million and $103 million of interest that would have otherwise been capitalized for the project
    • The estimated impact from the suspension, including expensed costs, is expected to be approximately US$350 to $400 million (excluding interest) with a schedule delay of approximately five to six months; and
    • In addition, we are in the process of constructing more camp space at an incremental cost of US$45 million that would not have been required absent COVID-19.
  • Click herefor photos of construction progress on QB2.

Strong financial position

  • We have US$3.8 billion available on our US$4.0 billion revolving credit facility and our US$1.0 billion revolving credit facility is undrawn as at October 26, 2020. These facilities are committed to November 2024 and June 2022, respectively. Neither facility has an earnings or cash flow based financial covenant, a credit rating trigger or a general material adverse effect borrowing condition.

  • Since the launch of our cost reduction program at the beginning of Q4 2019, we have realized approximately $270 million in operating cost reductions and $550 million in capital cost reductions. These reductions are against our expected spending that was contemplated at the end of June 2019.

COVID-19 impact on our business

  • Our global workforce and contractors continue to work safely and productively as we deal with the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our ability to minimize the spread of the virus amongst our employees and surrounding communities has been critical.

  • Protocols remain in place with a continued focus on preventative measures, controls and compliance, and the integration into our “new normal” of operations and planning.

  • All of our mines have recovered from COVID-19 production disruptions in the second quarter. Labour intensive activities such as maintenance, mine operations, and projects continue to be impacted by COVID-19 safety protocols.

  • We expensed $130 million in costs in the quarter relating to the temporary suspension and remobilization of our QB2 project after suspension due to COVID-19 in March 2020.

Safety and sustainability leadership

  • Year-to-date High Potential Incident Frequency (HPIF) (those incidents that have the ability to result in serious or fatal injuries) per million hours worked of 1.1, 31% lower than the same period in 2019.

  • Entered into a long-term power purchase agreement to provide 100% renewable power for Carmen de Andacollo Operations, eliminating approximately 200,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually.

  • As of the end of the third quarter, Teck is the top-ranked mining company for ESG performance by Sustainalytics, Vigeo Eiris, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and FTSE4Good; is ranked in the top 10% of mining companies by ISS ESG; and has an ‘A’ rating from MSCI.

Guidance

  • We have reduced our capital expenditures, capitalized stripping and zinc unit cost guidance for the second half of 2020 (H2 2020). At the same time, we have lowered our H2 2020 copper production guidance range by 5,000 tonnes based on changes at Highland Valley Copper. Our remaining guidance for H2 2020 is unchanged from our previous disclosures

  • Summary guidance is outlined below and our usual guidance tables can be found on pages 36 - 39 of Teck’s full third quarter results for 2020 at the link below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial results are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This document refers to a number of Non- GAAP Financial Measures which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures are discussed below, as well as defined and reconciled, as applicable, to the relevant IFRS measure.

Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders–对于调整后的利润,我们根据报告调整归属于股东的利润,以消除某些类型的交易的税后影响,这些交易反映了我们资产负债表上的计量变化或不代表我们的正常经营活动。我们相信,调整后的利润有助于我们和读者更好地了解我们的核心经营活动的结果和我们业务的持续现金产生潜力。

Adjusted basic earnings per share– Adjusted basic earnings per share is adjusted profit divided by average number of shares outstanding in the period.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share– Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted profit divided by average number of fully diluted shares in a period.

EBITDA– EBITDA is profit before net finance expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA– Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before the pre-tax effect of the adjustments that we make to adjusted profit attributable to shareholders as described above.

The adjustments described above to profit attributable to shareholders and EBITDA highlight items and allow us and readers to analyze the rest of our results more clearly. We believe that disclosing these measures assists readers in understanding the ongoing cash generating potential of our business in order to provide liquidity to fund working capital needs, service outstanding debt, fund future capital expenditures and investment opportunities, and pay dividends.

Gross profit before depreciation and amortization–折旧和摊销前的毛利是加回折旧和摊销费用的毛利。我们相信,这项措施有助于我们和读者评估我们的能力,产生现金流从我们的业务单位或运营。

Adjusted site cash cost of sales– Adjusted site cash cost of sales for our steelmaking coal operations is defined as the cost of the product as it leaves the mine excluding depreciation and amortization charges, out-bound transportation costs and any one-time collective agreement charges and inventory write-down provisions.

Statements concerning Fort Hills’ future production costs or volumes are based on numerous assumptions of management regarding operating matters and on assumptions that counterparties perform their contractual obligations, that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and supplies, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, adverse weather conditions, and that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies and may be further impacted by reduced demand for oil and low oil prices. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances could cause actual results to vary materially.

Factors that may cause actual results to vary materially include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity and power prices, changes in market demand for our products, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, acts of governments and the outcome of legal proceedings, inaccurate geological and metallurgical assumptions (including with respect to the size, grade and recoverability of mineral reserves and resources), unanticipated operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations, cost escalation, unavailability of materials and equipment, government action or delays in the receipt of government approvals, industrial disturbances or other job action, adverse weather conditions and unanticipated events related to health, safety and environmental matters), union labour disputes, impact of COVID-19 mitigation protocols, political risk, social unrest, failure of customers or counterparties (including logistics suppliers) to perform their contractual obligations, changes in our credit ratings, unanticipated increases in costs to construct our development projects, difficulty in obtaining permits, inability to address concerns regarding permits of environmental impact assessments, and changes or further deterioration in general economic conditions. Certain operations and projects are not controlled by us; schedules and costs may be adjusted by our partners, and timing of spending and operation of the operation or project is not in our control. Current and new technologies relating to our Elk Valley water treatment efforts may not perform as anticipated, and ongoing monitoring may reveal unexpected environmental conditions requiring additional remedial measures. The updated QB2 capital cost estimate and timing of first production will be impacted by COVID-19 ramp-up, among other matters. Red Dog production may also be impacted by water levels at site. Reaching a binding agreement with Westshore depends on, among other matters, Westshore acceptance of final terms.

The overall effects of COVID-19 related matters on our business and operations and projects will depend on how quickly our sites can safely return to and maintain normal operations, and on the duration of impacts on our suppliers, customers and markets for our products, all of which are unknown at this time. Returning to normal operating activities is highly dependent on the progression of the pandemic and the success of measures taken to prevent transmission, which will influence when health and government authorities remove various restrictions on business activities.
