bei den erstaunlichen Zahlen darf man dem Management für seine Arbeit gratulieren und das wichtigste hier direkt zum lesen geben :
Overview (all in U.S. dollars): - Molybdenum production in the first quarter of 2009 was 6.1 million pounds, up from 5.6 million pounds in the same period a year earlier. The first-quarter production level was in line with current production plans for the year.
- Weighted-average cash costs were reduced to $5.93 per pound produced in the first quarter from $8.29 per pound a year earlier.
- 2009 guidance for cash costs has been revised to $6.25 to $7.25 per pound from previous guidance of $7.25 to $8.25 per pound. Production and sales guidance remains unchanged at 20 to 24 million pounds for the year.
- Operating cash flows were $44.7 million in the first quarter, compared with $63.4 million a year earlier. - Total debt was reduced to $16.9 million on March 31, 2009 from $17.3 million on December 31, 2008. Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2009 were $260.6 million, compared with $258 million on December 31, 2008.
- First-quarter net income was $11.2 million or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, compared with $46.8 million or $0.41 per basic and $0.37 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2008.
- The decline in net income was due primarily to a 69% reduction in the average realized price on molybdenum and upgraded product sales to $10.14 per pound in the first quarter from $32.69 per pound a year earlier, which resulted in a year-over-year decrease in revenues to $78.9 million from $254.8 million. Note: A conference call and webcast for analysts and investors is scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
