Key Data in the Financial Report

1. The total operating revenue in 2024 was US$10.124 billion, a decrease of approximately US$2.93 billion from the previous year, representing a 22.38% decline.

2. The decline in market demand may be attributed to global economic fluctuations, particularly the slowdown in major consumer economies.

3. The fluctuation in the prices of major products such as iron ore directly affects revenue, and a decline in prices would suppress the company's income.

4. Production issues or a decrease in operational efficiency could affect delivery capacity.

5. Intensified competition within the industry could lead to a loss of market share, affecting operating income.

6. Changes in external policies and environmental regulations could increase operating costs and affect revenue levels.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: In 2024, the global mining industry faced challenges, with many mining companies experiencing a decline in revenue due to commodity price volatility and weak demand. Intensified competition and environmental policies also put pressure on operating income.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: Vale's total operating revenue decreased significantly, indicating its weakened market competitiveness. In contrast, BHP Group and Rio Tinto performed relatively stably during the same period, reflecting Vale's relative weakness.

Summary

Vale's total operating revenue in 2024 decreased significantly, mainly due to the combined effects of weak market demand, price fluctuations of major products, production issues, and intensified industry competition. These challenges significantly impacted the company's financial performance and market position.

Opportunities

1. With an increase in Vale's iron ore production, there may be growth in sales in the future.

2. The advancement of new production capacity projects could provide more revenue sources for the company in the next few years.

3. If the global economy recovers, the demand and prices of mineral products are expected to rebound, providing opportunities for profit.

Risks

1. Continued weak market demand would further suppress Vale's operating income.

2. A sustained decline in iron ore prices could affect the company's profitability, even if sales volumes increase, cannot make up for the loss of prices.

3. Production issues and supply chain challenges could affect the company's delivery capacity, further damaging customer relationships and market share.

4. Changes in policies and strengthened resource management could lead to increased operating costs and business risks.
