Fortescue Metals Group’s free cash flow increased by 93 per cent in 2015-16, to $US2.7bn, while its debt was slashed by $A2.9bn. Fortescue’s production cost averaged $US50 per tonne several years ago, but this was reduced to $US13.10 in June 2016 and the group aims to further reduce this in 2016-17. A number of factors have contributed to the reduction in production costs, such as the lower Australian dollar, the fall in the crude oil price, increased production and a significantly lower strip ratio.
