Profit and Adjusted Profit
Profit attributable to shareholders was $572 million, or $0.99 per share, in the first quarter compared with $94 million, or $0.16 per share in the same period a year ago.
"Adjusted profit attributable to shareholders, after adjusting for the items identified in the table below was $671 million, or $1.16 per share, in the first quarter compared with $18 million, or $0.03 per share, in the same period last year. The most significant of these items relates to a loss on the repurchase of our debt at a premium in the first quarter of 2017.
The significant increase in our adjusted profit in the first quarter of 2017 was largely driven by substantially higher realized steelmaking coal prices and, to a lesser extent, higher copper and zinc prices. The higher commodity prices were partly offset by lower sales volumes of steelmaking coal and copper, as well as by higher unit operating costs primarily driven by reduced production levels. In addition, our profit was negatively affected by the weaker U.S./Canadian dollar average exchange rate compared with a year ago."
