Boliden is active in the metals industry. The company works with exploration, exploitation and further distribution of precious metals. The raw materials consist mainly of lead, zinc, copper and nickel. Other products manufactured include copper sulphate, selenium and iron sand. Customers are found in several sectors, with the greatest focus on the construction and automotive industries. The operations are run through subsidiaries throughout the European market.

I’ve occasionally followed Boliden and its share price development. Now, mining companies have been particularly interesting, as I’ve noticed SSAB’s significant rise in a couple of weeks, e.g., due to USA tariff speculation. Today, strong results from Boliden  Revenues: SEK 25,785 m (20,754) Operating profit: SEK 4,098 m (2,096) Operating profit excl. PIR*: SEK 3,814 m (2,017) Free cash flow: SEK 4,264 m (1,663) Earnings per share: SEK 10.95 (6.06)  The initial share price reaction was quite soft, but it seems to have accelerated towards the evening.

Should I buy Boliden for a book-entry account or an equity savings account? I know that in an equity savings account, a significant portion of the tax benefit is lost because you don’t get a withholding tax credit, but I’m thinking more about situations like last year’s split + redemption scheme, which cause an annoying amount of hassle without a tax wrapper. Have there been these types of events often, and are they to be expected in the future as well?

Boliden released a capital markets update today, so it’s a good time to wake up the thread a bit.  Virtual Capital Markets Update: https://investors.boliden.com/en/investor-relations/reports-and-presentations/capital-markets-days-and-other-events  Boliden’s virtual event is a Flik production. It doesn’t look like the broadcast is available on the Inderes website, so the broadcast starting at 3:00 PM can be found via that link. https://boliden.videosync.fi/2024-03-18-vcmd2024 I haven’t followed Boliden’s development closely, but based on the news flow, last year seemed challenging. Last summer, there was a major fire at the Rönnskär copper smelter in Skellefteå, where the tank house (elektrolyysihalli) was completely destroyed. At the same time, production and exploration at the Tara zinc mine in Ireland were halted due to falling zinc prices and rising costs, and ore grades were declining at the Kevitsa mine. Consequently, costs increased more than expected. In February, however, Boliden published a fairly reasonable Q4’23 report. Currently, the share price is at nearly the same levels as last July, but the price will largely follow the development of metal prices. https://investors.boliden.com/en/press/bolidens-fourth-quarter-good-cash-flow-despite-intensive-investment-period-2201535 This morning, Boliden announced it is investing a total of 4.8 billion SEK in a new tank house at Rönnskär. According to the release, capacity will remain at 230 kilotonnes, and full capacity is expected to be reached in the second half of 2026.  Press release: https://news.cision.com/boliden/r/boliden-s-capital-market-update--investment-in-new-tank-house-at-ronnskar,c3947116 The CMD presentation slide deck is already available on Boliden’s website, with the Rönnskär investment detailed at the beginning. Link (pdf):  https://investors.boliden.com/sites/boliden-ir/files/Investing_in_long-term_sustainable_profitability.pdf Additional information on the slide shows the start of construction work is in May of this year.    2024 is likely not expected to be very good. For Q1, the ongoing strikes in Finland add their own impact to the start of the year, as seen on page 18 of the CMD presentation.  At the Capital Markets Day, interest will likely focus more on expectations for 2025 and 2026. The company has several investment projects underway at many sites, such as the Odda expansion. Boliden expects 2024 investments to be 15.5 billion SEK, which is 1.5 billion SEK more than previously estimated.  According to the release, more details will also be provided at the event regarding the low-carbon nickel developed by Boliden.

My interest in this company was piqued over in the raw materials thread (discussions about the price increases of rare Ge and Ca elements), and at first glance, it seems like a very interesting company. It is a company generating quite nice cash flow, especially when considering that they have also made significant investments in the business. Furthermore, when looking at the history of return on invested capital, this looks very attractive:   The valuation doesn’t seem stretched at all, either. Of course, the fire at Rönnskär brought a clear drop in the price. But it seems its impact will remain relatively small for this year: Press releases - Boliden SEK 200m Q2 EBIT impact and a SEK 88m write-down on the balance sheet. Are there any estimates regarding the contribution of different minerals to the company’s results? Have there been any signs yet of a premium in product prices offered by green production? I need to study the company’s materials in more detail, but based on this quick look, it will likely end up as a watchlist position.

It’s looking bad. There could be significant pressure on earnings performance.

Google translation - The fire that occurred at Rönnskär on Tuesday evening, combined with the lower quality of the crushed copper and nickel at Kevitsa, will impact the second quarter operating profit by an estimated 700 million SEK, Boliden states in a press release.

Can anyone more knowledgeable advise how this Boliden share split works in practice? Apparently, they automatically redeem them at 11.50 SEK. “split shares” The dividend of 15 SEK per share already arrived in the account earlier.

<h4>&nbsp;</h4>Due to the quadrupling of mining tax in Finland, Boliden Kevitsa has called for change negotiations to prepare to adopt the operations. All in all, up to 285&nbsp;employees are considered to be affected by the change of operations. The change in taxation also means that an investment decision of around EUR 1 billion to extend operations in Kevitsa beyond 2034 is currently on hold.&nbsp; "We believe mining of metals such as nickel and copper should be safeguarded in Europe through competitive long-term business conditions. Sadly, it appears that Finland has chosen a path that creates challenges for the capital-intense mining industry. Of course, I also expect that contractors will be negatively affected by the development, says Tom Söderman, General Manager Boliden Kevitsa. Change negotiations are expected to be concluded within six weeks and will involve all employees. In total, Kevitsa has just over 500 employees within exploration and mining operations. Kevitsa is a major provider of copper and nickel concentrates to the Boliden Harjavalta smelter.
