Topic: 全年EBITDA指引驱动因素、Phoenix Global宏观驱动、最大客户合同续约
Key points:
- 分析师推算：为达到全年指引低端2.1亿美元，下半年季度EBITDA需环比增长约22%。
- 焦炭业务：Q1国内焦炭EBITDA每吨55美元，Q2约42美元，全年指引均值46-48美元/吨；下半年焦炭销量约200-210万吨，全年总销量接近400万吨。
- 物流业务：CMT在5-6月出现意外低量，7月已回升，部分6月船期推迟至7月；下半年物流EBITDA将恢复至正常运行率。
- Phoenix Global：签约时过去12个月调整后EBITDA约6100万美元，目前该数字仍合理；公司计划通过EAF客户多元化及有机增长扩大业务。
- 最大客户（Cliffs）合同：公司对Cliffs财报评论感到“非常惊讶”，双方仍在积极讨论续约；2025年Cliffs不需要更多焦炭，公司已通过现货市场售罄。
Mgmt stance: 中性偏乐观——重申全年EBITDA指引2.1-2.25亿美元，下半年焦炭EBITDA/吨将回归均值，物流量已回升；Phoenix业务基础稳固，合同续约讨论仍在进行。

Topic: Cliffs内部焦炭影响、物流业务CMT量下降、全年物流量指引、循环信贷额度调整
Key points:
- Cliffs内部焦炭：若Cliffs永久性关停高炉，将扰乱北美焦炭供需平衡；若继续运行高炉，Stelco焦炭原客户可能成为公司新客户。
- 物流业务：CMT主要运煤（出口），也运铁矿石和石油焦；国内煤价上涨可能影响出口量；7月量已回升，全年物流指引不变。
- 全年物流量：仍预计约2290万吨，下半年增量主要来自KRT扩建。
- 循环信贷：额度从3.5亿美元降至3.25亿美元；收购Phoenix实际借款约2-2.1亿美元（低于此前预计的2.3亿），剩余额度足以满足营运资本和GPI项目需求。
Mgmt stance: 中性偏乐观——重申物流EBITDA和量指引；信贷调整后仍有充足流动性；Cliffs内部焦炭影响取决于其高炉运行决策，公司可转向其他客户或市场。
