• Gold sales increased by 3% compared to the 3rd quarter to 597 thousand ounces. Total gold sales include 82 thousand ounces of gold contained in concentrate from Olimpiada.
  
• Revenue totalled $743 million in the 4th quarter and remained almost flat compared to $744 million in the 3rd quarter of 2017.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin stood slightly lower at 63%, compared to 64% in the 3rd quarter of 2017.
• Profit for the period decreased to $267 million, partly reflecting the decrease in operating profit and impact of non-cash items in the period.

• Net cash inflow from operations amounted to $344 million in the 4th quarter of 2017.
• Capex⁵ increased to $279 million compared to the previous quarter, primarily reflecting increased spending on the brownfield development projects and the ongoing construction works at Natalka.

Operational highlights — 4th quarter of 2017

• Total gold output decreased by 10% quarter-on-quarter to 580 thousand ounces, mainly due to a seasonal slowdown in production at Alluvials.
• Volumes of ore mined increased by 2% to 10,065 kt.
• Volumes of ore processed increased by 7% q-o-q to 7,809 kt driven by the start of hot commissioning at the Natalka mill and the completion of maintenance works at Blagodatnoye and Verninskoye.

Polyus meldet Produktionszahlen für Q1/18

1Q 2018 Highlights

• Total gold output was 507 thousand ounces, compared to 580 thousand ounces in 4Q 2017, mainly due to seasonal slowdown in production at Alluvials and lower production volumes at Olimpiada and Blagodatnoye. Total gold output rose 13% compared to the first quarter of 2017 due to increased total gold output at Olimpiada, including higher gold contained in concentrate production.
• Volumes of ore mined amounted to 8,821 thousand tones, down 12% on the previous quarter. This was in line with the mining plan, as Polyus is conducting a pit cut back at Blagodatnoye. Volumes of ore mined increased 2% compared to the same period of 2017.
• Volumes of ore processed increased 9% compared to the previous quarter, to 8,492 thousand tones. This was driven by a gradual increase in processing volumes at the Natalka Mill. Polyus anticipates to fully ramp up the Natalka Mill in the second half of 2018. Volumes of ore processed rose 28% compared to the first quarter of 2017 due to processing capacity expansion at existing operations as well as the launch of the Natalka operations.
• Estimated gold sales amounted to $608 million, down 17% compared to the previous quarter with an estimated weighted-average gold selling price of $1,336/oz. Estimated gold sales were up 1% compared to the first quarter of 2017, despite a 6% decline in sales volumes over the same period of time.
• As of 31 March 2018, the estimated net debt stood at $3,079 million, compared to $3,077 million as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 and $3,128 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2017.

Danke Vassago, bin hier vor ein paar Monaten eingestiegen und sehr zufrieden mit der Entwicklung trotz des anhaltend schwachen Goldpreises. Sicherlich muss man bei russischen Aktien immer ein hohes politischen Risiko mit einkalkulieren, dieses Risiko ist aber aus meiner Sicht weitestgehend schon eingepreist. Ansonsten habe ich mich beim Q2 Bericht besonders an der sinkenden AISC erfreut. Von Q1 zu Q2 haben sich diese von 684 auf 601$ je Feinunze reduziert.

3Q 2018 Highlights

• Volumes of ore mined amounted to 12,673 thousand tonnes, a 36% increase on the previous quarter and 28% increase year on year.
  
  
•    Volumes of ore processed rose to 10,382 thousand tonnes, up 5% on the previous quarter as the Company is continuing to expand processing capacities at its core assets.
     Volumes of antimony contained in flotation concentrate amounted to 6.4 thousand tonnes, up 3% on the previous quarter.

polyus.com/en/media/press-releases/...e-third-quarter-of-2018/

Key highlights

• Total gold sales volumes of 699 thousand ounces, up 32% compared to the second quarter. This includes 92 thousand ounces of gold contained in concentrate from Olimpiada.
  
  
• Revenue of $832 million, up 20% compared to $692 million in the second quarter, driven by a seasonal increase in sales from the alluvial operations and higher flotation concentrate sales volumes from Olimpiada. The group's revenue includes sales from Natalka starting from the third quarter of 2018, following the cessation of its capitalisation from 1st of August 2018.  
  
  
• 
  The group's TCC remained flat at $345 per ounce. This figure includes TCC at Natalka, which amounted to $685 per ounce in the third quarter. A seasonal increase in output at the structurally higher cost alluvial operations put additional pressure on the group's TCC. These factors were fully mitigated by local currency depreciation as well as by-product credit from sales of antimony-rich flotation concentrate, which amounted to $33 per ounce in the third quarter.
  
  
• 
  Adjusted EBITDA was $537 million, an 18% increase from the second quarter 2018, driven by higher gold sales volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin stood at 65%.
  
  ·    Profit for the period increased to $144 million, reflecting the increase in operating profit and the impact of non-cash items. Foreign exchange loss was lower compared to the previous quarter.
  
  
• 
  Adjusted net profit was $355 million, a 22% decrease from the previous quarter, which reflects the impact of non-cash item such as lower foreign exchange loss in the period.
  
  
  
• Net cash generated from operations was $423 million, compared to $376 million in the previous quarter.
  
  
  
• Capital expenditures ("capex") was $146 million, a decrease on the previous quarter, reflecting lower capital expenditures across most of the business units. Separately, as of 1 August the Company ceased the capitalisation of borrowing costs and other directly attributable operating costs at Natalka.
  
  
  
• Cash and cash equivalents as at 30 September 2018 were $1,000 million, compared to $908 million as at 30 June 2018. The increase was driven by the strong operational performance in the reporting period.
  
  
  
• Net debt decreased to $3,029 million, compared to $3,208 million as at the end of the second quarter.
  
  
  
• The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio decreased to 1.6x compared to 1.8x as at 30 June 2018, reflecting a decrease in the net debt position and growth in adjusted EBITDA.

Behaupten dem Wert stehen goldene Zeiten ins Haus ist da wer anderer Meinung?  

Polyus hat sich für mich sehr gelohnt. Einstieg bei 32 € Ende 2018, hat sich mehr als verdoppelt. Klar ist der Goldpreis entscheidend. Aber Polyus produziert günstig und hat moderne Minen.
Ich werde Polyus weiter behalten. Schade ist nur, dass Polyus in D fast nur in Stuttgart gehandelt wird. Die Massen der Umsätze laufen in London...

1Q 2020 Highlights

• 
     Total gold output in the first quarter of 2020 amounted to 595 thousand ounces, compared to 804 thousand ounces in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease reflects a seasonal slowdown in production at Alluvials and lower refined gold volumes at Olimpiada, Blagodatnoye, Natalka and Kuranakh. At Olimpiada, Blagodatnoye and Natalka, a decrease in refined gold volumes mainly reflects changes in gold in inventory at the refinery.
     
  
• Volumes of ore mined amounted to 18,226 thousand tonnes, down 4% on the previous quarter, primarily reflecting lower ore volumes mined at Olimpiada.
     
  
• Volumes of ore processed decreased 7% to 10,698 thousand tonnes, compared to the previous quarter, primarily driven by lower processing volumes at Natalka, Olimpiada and Blagodatnoye.
  
• Recovery rate rose to 83.6%, compared to 83.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting higher recoveries at Olimpiada and Blagodatnoye.
     Estimated gold sales amounted to $861 million, down 33% compared to the previous quarter, with an estimated weighted-average gold selling price of $1,592/oz (up 7% on the fourth quarter of 2019).
     
  
• As at 31 March 2020, the estimated net debt stood at $3,060 million, compared to $3,253 million as at the end of the previous quarter and $3,555 million as 31 March 2019. These amounts include the liabilities under cross currency and interest rate swaps related to RUB-denominated bank credit facilities and rouble bonds.
