Power production in Q3 2021 was 110 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity, down 28% from 152 GWh produced in the comparable period of 2020. The production decline was due to maintenance activities deferred from 2020 on account of limited liquidity availability and reduced availability of spare parts.

2021年第三季度的發電量為110千兆瓦時(GWh),比2020年同期的152GWh下降了28%。產量下降的原因是,由於流動性有限和備件供應減少,維修活動從2020年推遲。

Revenue in Q3 2021 totaled $7.3 million, down 22% from $9.4 million for the same quarter last year. The revenue decline was primarily due to lower power production.

2021年第三季度的總收入為730萬美元,比去年同期的940萬美元下降了22%。收入下降的主要原因是發電量下降。

The average-realized price in Q3 2021 was $54.57/MWh, down 5% from Q3 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

2021年第三季度的平均實現價格為54.57美元/兆瓦時,比2020年第三季度下降了5%。下降的主要原因是加元對美元的匯率走強。

Unit operating costs in Q3 2021 were $23.14/MWh, up 58% from $14.63/MWh for last year. The year-over-year increase was attributable to lower sales volume and higher operational spending on maintenance activities deferred from 2020. The increase in unit operating costs in Q3 2021 was partially offset by the impact of a strengthening Canadian dollar as costs are denominated in U.S. currency, and by the effect of Cuba's unification of its currencies in lowering labour and third-party service costs.

2021年第三季度單位運營成本為23.14美元/兆瓦時,較去年的14.63美元/兆瓦時上漲58%。同比增長的原因是銷售量下降,以及從2020年推遲的維護活動的運營支出增加。2021年第三季度單位運營成本的增加被加元走強的影響(成本以美元計價)以及古巴統一貨幣降低勞動力和第三方服務成本的影響部分抵消。

The Power business unit had negligible capital spend for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

在截至2021年9月30日的三個月裏,Power業務部門的資本支出可以忽略不計。

Sherritt continues to be in discussion with its Cuban partners to extend its power generation agreement with Energas, which is currently slated to expire in March 2023.

雪利特繼續與古巴合作伙伴討論延長與Energas的發電協議,該協議目前定於2023年3月到期。

Technologies

技術

Sherritt Technologies continued its efforts to transition from a cost centre to an incubator of industry solutions that can also be commercialized externally or applied internally to improve operational performance, reduce carbon emissions, and support growth initiatives, such as efforts to de-bottleneck production, evaluate brownfield expansion opportunities and increase mineral reserves.

雪利特技術公司繼續努力從成本中心轉變為行業解決方案的孵化器,這些解決方案也可以在外部商業化或在內部應用,以改善運營業績,減少碳排放,並支持增長舉措,如努力消除生產瓶頸,評估棕地擴張機會和增加礦產儲量。

In Q3, the primary activities of Sherritt Technologies centred on supporting brownfield expansion opportunities at the Moa JV, including preparations for final testing to support a change in mine planning to use an economic cut-off grade to potentially upgrade resources into reserves and significantly expand the life of mine, and support Sherritt's growth strategy.

於第三季度,Sherritt Technologies的主要活動集中於支持Moa合資公司的棕地擴張機會,包括準備進行最終測試,以支持礦山計劃的改變,利用經濟邊際品位潛在地將資源提升為儲量,大幅延長礦山壽命,並支持Sherritt的增長戰略。

Other activities included efforts to commercialize Sherritt's most advanced, innovative technologies. In particular, Sherritt Technologies continued to make progress on its enhanced proprietary process to fully upgrade heavy oil, refining residues and bitumen. Sherritt's process provides a number of environmental and business benefits, including eliminating the need for bitumen diluent and thereby increasing pipeline capacity, increasing the economic value of the oil transported to downstream markets, as well as reduced energy consumption due to the elimination of energy intensive unit operations, which results in lower carbon emissions. Discussions with external parties regarding the potential use of Sherritt's process have identified multiple, distinct scenarios for the application of this technology. External industry expertise has been engaged to assist in further developing these specific opportunities. Piloting of the new catalyst system, which allows for full upgrading instead of partial upgrading, is scheduled to occur during 2022, and will be designed to test the multiple product and processing scenarios.

其他活動包括努力將謝裏特最先進的創新技術商業化。特別是,雪利特技術公司繼續在其增強型專有工藝方面取得進展,以全面升級重油、煉油殘渣和瀝青。雪利特的工藝提供了許多環境和商業好處,包括消除對瀝青稀釋劑的需求,從而增加管道容量,提高輸送到下游市場的石油的經濟價值,以及由於取消了能源密集型單元操作而降低了能源消耗,從而降低了碳排放。與外部各方就Sherritt工藝的潛在用途進行的討論已經確定了該技術應用的多個不同場景。已經聘請了外部行業專業知識來幫助進一步開發這些具體的機會。新催化劑系統的試運行計劃在2022年進行,該系統允許全面升級,而不是部分升級,旨在測試多種產品和加工場景。

Sherritt Technologies is also pursuing the commercialization of its proprietary process for the treatment of copper concentrates with higher arsenic content. Arsenic is a poisonous element requiring significant mitigation and management costs rendering certain copper projects uneconomical. With copper demand expected to grow significantly over the next decade, Sherritt's advanced hydrometallurgical process technology fulfills a pressing industry need, presenting a significant step change in the stabilization of arsenic bearing solid waste, produces net zero carbon emissions, extends the life of aging copper mines, reduces treatment costs and capitalizes on existing infrastructure. Discussions have started with external parties on a variety of potential commercialization routes on optimal sourcing options for laterite ore and copper concentrate. Different copper products can be considered, depending on specific project drivers and circumstances.

雪利特技術公司還在尋求將其專有工藝商業化,以處理砷含量更高的銅精礦。砷是一種有毒元素,需要巨大的緩解和管理成本,使某些銅項目變得不經濟。由於未來十年銅需求預計將大幅增長,謝裏特先進的濕法冶金工藝技術滿足了迫切的行業需求,在穩定含砷固體廢物、產生淨零碳排放、延長老化銅礦的壽命、降低處理成本和利用現有基礎設施方面實現了重大變革。已開始與外部各方討論各種潛在的商業化路線,以確定紅土礦石和銅精礦的最佳採購方案。根據具體的項目驅動因素和情況,可以考慮使用不同的銅產品。

NON-GAAP AND OTHER FINANCIAL MEASURES

非公認會計準則和其他財務指標

Management uses the following non-GAAP and other financial measures in this press release and other documents: combined revenue, adjusted EBITDA, average-realized price, unit operating cost/net direct cash cost (NDCC), adjusted net earnings/loss from continuing operations, adjusted earnings/loss from continuing operations per share and combined free cash flow.

管理層在本新聞稿和其他文件中使用以下非GAAP和其他財務衡量標準:合併收入、調整後的EBITDA、平均實現價格、單位運營成本/淨直接現金成本(NDCC)、調整後的持續運營淨收益/虧損、調整後的每股持續運營收益/虧損以及合併的自由現金流量。

Management uses these measures to monitor the financial performance of the Corporation and its operating divisions and believes these measures enable investors and analysts to compare the Corporation's financial performance with its competitors and/or evaluate the results of its underlying business. These measures are intended to provide additional information, not to replace International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) measures, and do not have a standard definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. As these measures do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

管理層使用這些衡量標準來監控本公司及其運營部門的財務表現,並相信這些衡量標準使投資者和分析師能夠將本公司的財務表現與其競爭對手進行比較和/或評估其基本業務的結果。這些措施旨在提供更多信息,而不是取代國際財務報告準則(IFRS)的措施,並且在IFRS下沒有標準定義,不應孤立地考慮或作為根據IFRS編制的業績衡量標準的替代品。由於這些措施沒有標準化的含義,可能無法與其他公司提供的類似措施相提並論。

The non-GAAP and other financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable IFRS measures in the non-GAAP and other financial measures section of Sherritt's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

在截至2021年9月30日的三個月和九個月的謝裏特管理層討論和分析中,非GAAP和其他財務衡量標準與其最直接可比的IFRS衡量標準相一致。
