Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the impact on the economic situation and financial position of Brazilian companies in the steel sector, arising from the crisis of the global market for steel. The research is characterized as: Quantitative, descriptive and documentary. For the development of the research data were collected for the years 2001 to 2015, divided into two distinct periods, being the first period 2001/7, before the crisis of 2008/09, and the second period after the crisis 2010/15. The sample consisted of 11 companies listed on BM&F and with data available in the Economatica. We used 11 economic and financial indicators of profitability, liquidity, debt and working capital. The financial indicators were: (Return on Assets [ROA]; Return on Equity [ROE]; Current Liquidity Liquidity General, short-term debt and debt in the long term). (The Economic Indicators: (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization EBITDA; Treasury (T); Working Capital (CG); Working Capital Need (WCN)) and the margin Liquidation (MG), all divided by sales). There are two financial indicators of profitability: ROE and ROA and two indicares rentals of profitability: Net Margin and EBITDA, which gave statistically significant results. The results of the analysis of the financial indicators ROE and ROA indicate that the profits earned by entrepreneurs, shareholders and/or investors of the steel industry decreased substantially in relation to the first period analyzed, since the rate of return generated in applications of steel mills was financially impacted in a negative way. The results of economic indicators EBITDA and net margin, indicate that productivity and economic efficiency of the steel industry as well as the amount of resources generated through its operational activities were economically impacted negatively by the crisis of 2008/9 and by excessive production of steel, hindering the sales and distribution of dividends.
