Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) has just announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of substantially all the assets of its Asia Pacific iron ore business to Mineral Resources Limited. Cliffs stated that as a result of transaction, the previously disclosed costs of closing the Australian operations are expected to be reduced by approximately $65 million to $75 million. This transaction marks Cliffs' exit from the Australian segment and a completion of return to the U.S.-centered strategy. After the deal is completed, Cliffs will become a strictly U.S. pellet producer.
Previously, the company estimated cash expenditures of $120 million to $140 million for the closure of its Australian operations. Also, the company estimated that it will exit Australia by June 30, 2018, so it remains fully in line with its previous guidance.
The sale of the Australian segment is a major positive development for the company. It will reduce the company's costs of exit from Australia and at the same time allow management to spend its precious time on growth initiatives, rather than a garage sale of various equipment that the company had in Australia.
