TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2016
TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation ("LIORC", TSX: LIF) announced today its operation and cash flow results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Royalty income for the third quarter of 2016 amounted to $27.9 million as compared to $31.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. The shareholders' adjusted cash flow (see below for definition) for the third quarter was $15.5 million or $0.24 per share as compared to $17.9 million or $0.28 per share for the same period in 2015. Net income was $21.2 million or $0.33 per share compared to $19.0 million or $0.30 per share for the same period in 2015. Equity earnings from Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") amounted to $7.7 million or $0.12 per share as compared to $2.5 million or $0.04 per share in 2015. The increase in IOC equity earnings in the third quarter of 2016 was mainly due to higher prices.

Production
Concentrate production for the third quarter of 2016 was 5.2 million tonnes, with monthly records of 1.8 million tonnes set in both August and September. After production of 2.7 million tonnes of pellets, 2.3 million tonnes of concentrate for sale ("CFS") were produced. The weight yield, which was an issue in previous quarters, improved in the third quarter of 2016. The tonnage delivered to the concentrator on the parallel ore delivery system also achieved a new record in September. In the pellet plant, IOC is stabilizing and increasing throughput and is focussed on the production of higher margin pellets.
Sales
The results listed in the table below for revenue, adjusted cash flow, and adjusted cash flow per share were lower for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2015. This was largely due to the relatively high sales tonnages of CFS in the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter of 2016 CFS sales were 31% lower than the previous year's corresponding quarter as the third quarter of 2015 sales were boosted by 2014 frozen material that was railed and shipped in 2015.
Other
IOC has created an operations centre pilot to test the integrated operations model and make use of latest technology to automate production systems and enable a safer, more efficient, and more stable operation. This will evolve into an operations center where integrated planning and dynamic scheduling functions will access real-time production data and status to effectively communicate and solve production issues as they arise. It is expected that the operations centre will be a significant factor to increase overall throughput and further reduce unit costs, over time.
IOC management reached an important agreement with the union to recruit a temporary workforce in Labrador City to enable them to better manage variability in the workforce.
It was announced that Kelly Sanders will retire as President and CEO of IOC. Clayton Walker, a senior Rio Tinto executive with extensive operating experience, was named as the Chair and CEO of IOC effective November 1, 2016. LIORC considers that Kelly Sanders provided strong leadership and assembled a strong senior management team at IOC in his two-year tenure. LIORC expects that the team will continue to improve safety, production and unit costs under Mr. Walker's leadership.

"Adjusted cash flow" (defined as cash flow from operating activities as shown on the attached financial statements adjusted for changes in amounts receivable, accounts payable and income taxes payable) is not a recognized measure under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Directors believe that adjusted cash flow is a useful analytical measure as it better reflects cash available for dividends to shareholders. |

Outlook
Quarterly production and sales tonnages have been trending up in 2016. Record production of concentrates was achieved in August and September 2016. However, while IOC had expected 2016 production to be approximately 21 million tonnes of concentrate, it now appears that 2016 concentrate production will approach 20 million tonnes. Iron ore prices have trended up recently. The major seabourne iron ore producers are now more focused on profitability and free cash flow, not volume and market share. This change should be supportive for iron ore prices. Pellet premiums have strengthened significantly in 2016. With the expected increased production at IOC and a favourable exchange rate, the outlook is positive for your company.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation's ("LIORC" or the "Corporation") 2015 Annual Report and the financial statements and notes contained therein. Although management believes that expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risk and uncertainties including the factors discussed in the Corporation's 2015 Annual Report.
The Corporation's revenues are entirely dependent on the operations of Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") as its principal assets relate to the operations of IOC and its principal source of revenue is the 7% royalty it receives on all sales of iron ore products by IOC. In addition to the volume of iron ore sold, the Corporation's royalty revenue is affected by the price of iron ore and the Canadian – U.S. dollar exchange rate.
The first quarter sales of IOC are traditionally adversely affected by the closing of the St. Lawrence Seaway and general winter operating conditions and are usually 15% – 20% of the annual volume, with the balance spread fairly evenly throughout the other three quarters. Because of the size of individual shipments, some quarters may be affected by the timing of the loading of ships that can be delayed from one quarter to the next.
Royalty income for the third quarter of 2016 amounted to $27.9 million as compared to $31.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. The shareholders' adjusted cash flow (see below for definition) for the third quarter was $15.5 million or $0.24 per share as compared to $17.9 million or $0.28 per share for the same period in 2015. Net income was $21.2 million or $0.33 per share compared to $19.0 million or $0.30 per share for the same period in 2015. Equity earnings from IOC amounted to $7.7 million or $0.12 per share as compared to $2.5 million or $0.04 per share in 2015. The increase in IOC equity earnings in the third quarter of 2016 was mainly due to higher prices.

Concentrate production for the third quarter of 2016 was 5.2 million tonnes, with monthly records of 1.8 million tonnes set in both August and September. After production of 2.7 million tonnes of pellets, 2.3 million tonnes of concentrate for sale ("CFS") were produced. The weight yield, which was an issue in previous quarters, improved in the third quarter of 2016. The tonnage delivered to the concentrator on the parallel ore delivery system ("PODS") also achieved a new record in September. In the pellet plant, IOC is stabilizing and increasing throughput and is focussed on the production of higher margin pellets.
The results listed in the table below for revenue, adjusted cash flow, and adjusted cash flow per share were lower for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2015. This was largely due to the relatively high sales tonnages of CFS in the third quarter of 2015. The third quarter of 2016 CFS sales were 31% lower than the previous year's corresponding quarter as the third quarter of 2015 sales were boosted by 2014 frozen material that was railed and shipped in 2015.
IOC has created an operations centre pilot to test the integrated operations model and make use of latest technology to automate production systems and enable a safer, more efficient, and more stable operation. This will evolve into an operations center where integrated planning and dynamic scheduling functions will access real-time production data and status to effectively communicate and solve production issues as they arise. It is expected that the operations centre will be a significant factor to increase overall throughput and further reduce unit costs, over time.
IOC management reached an important agreement with the union to recruit a temporary workforce in Labrador City to enable them to better manage variability in the workforce.
It was announced that Kelly Sanders will retire as President and CEO of IOC. Clayton Walker, a senior Rio Tinto executive with extensive operating experience, was named as the Chair and CEO of IOC effective November 1, 2016. LIORC considers that Kelly Sanders provided strong leadership and assembled a strong senior management team at IOC in his two-year tenure. LIORC expects that the team will continue to improve safety, production and unit costs under Mr. Walker's leadership.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the year started well with record concentrate production in January and February. However low weight yields and issues with the PODS affected production in subsequent months into the summer. The performance was reversed in August and September with record setting production of concentrates. Overall for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, concentrate production totalled 14.2 million tonnes, slightly higher than the 14.1 million tonnes produced in the corresponding period for 2015. Pellet production was affected in the first seven months of 2016 by low availability and throughput. IOC is focussed on improving maintenance practices to improve total pellet production. The initiatives resulted in pellet production exceeding plan in August and September 2016.
CFS tonnage sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 were 11% higher than the corresponding period in 2015; pellet tonnage sales were lower by 6%. The net result was that total pellet and CFS tonnage sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 were slightly higher (1%) than the corresponding period in 2015. The pellet mix in 2016 to date has moved to higher margin pellets. The lower sales value in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 2015 resulted from lower prices partially offset by the lower Canadian dollar exchange rate against its US counterpart.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were affected by lower iron ore prices, a weaker Canadian dollar and stronger pellet premiums. Net income was lower due to the 1% increase in the Newfoundland and Labrador corporate income tax rate, enacted in the second quarter 2016 but retroactive to the first quarter 2016. This mainly affected deferred taxes and does not materially affect cash flow.
Equity earnings from IOC amounted to $6.7 million or $0.10 per share as compared to $3.5 million or $0.06 per share in 2015. The increase in IOC equity earnings in nine month period of 2016 was mainly due to a weaker Canadian dollar and increased productivity, which resulted in lower costs and improved net earnings for IOC in the period.

Standardized Cash Flow and Adjusted Cash Flow
For the Corporation, standardized cash flow is the same as cash flow from operating activities as recorded in the Corporation's cash flow statements as the Corporation does not incur capital expenditures or have any restrictions on distributions. Standardized cash flow per share was $0.24 for the quarter (2015 - $0.19). Cumulative standardized cash flow from inception of the Corporation is $22.11 per share and total cash distributions since inception is $21.69 per share, for a payout ratio of 98%.
"Adjusted cash flow" is defined as cash flow from operating activities as shown on the attached financial statements adjusted for changes in amounts receivable, accounts payable and income taxes payable. It is not a recognized measure under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Directors believe that adjusted cash flow is a useful analytical measure as it better reflects cash available for dividends to shareholders.
The following reconciles cash flow from operating activities to adjusted cash flow.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation has $11.7 million in cash as at September 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015 - $24.5 million) with total current assets of $40.2 million (December 31, 2015 - $45.2 million). The Corporation has working capital of $18.5 million as at September 30, 2016 (December 31, 2015 - $24.8 million). The Corporation's operating cash flow for the quarter was $15.2 million and the dividend paid during the quarter was $16.0 million, resulting in cash balances declining $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2016.
Cash balances consist of deposits in Canadian dollars with Canadian chartered banks. Amounts receivable primarily consist of royalty payments from IOC. Royalty payments are received in U.S. dollars and converted to Canadian dollars on receipt, usually 25 days after the quarter end. The Corporation does not normally attempt to hedge this short-term foreign currency exposure.
Operating cash flow of the Corporation is sourced entirely from IOC through the Corporation's 7% royalty, 10 cents commission per tonne and dividends from its 15.10% equity interest in IOC. The Corporation intends to pay cash dividends of the net income derived from IOC to the maximum extent possible, subject to the maintenance of appropriate levels of working capital.
The Corporation has a $50 million revolving credit facility with a term ending September 18, 2019 with provision for annual one-year extensions. No amount is currently drawn under this facility (2015 – nil) leaving $50.0 million available to provide for any capital required by IOC or requirements of the Corporation.
Outlook
Quarterly production and sales tonnages have been trending up in 2016. Record production of concentrates was achieved in August and September 2016. However, while IOC had expected 2016 production to be approximately 21 million tonnes of concentrate, it now appears that 2016 concentrate production will approach 20 million tonnes. Iron ore prices have trended up recently. The major seabourne iron ore producers are now more focused on profitability and free cash flow, not volume and market share. This change should be supportive for iron ore prices. Pellet premiums have strengthened significantly in 2016. With the expected increased production at IOC and a favourable exchange rate, the outlook is positive for your company.
