Vale SA Research Report
On December 2, 2013, Vale SA (Vale) announced that its Board of Directors has approved the investment budget for 2014, with capital expenditures of $9.3 billion for project execution, $4.5 billion for sustaining existing operations, and $900 million for research and development (R&D) activities. Vale stated that the capital and R&D expenditures of the Company in 2014 will show a decline for the third year in a row, after peaking at $18.0 billion in 2011. Vale said that the decline reflects its greater focus on capital efficiency, which entails (among other things) pursuing shareholder value maximization through a smaller portfolio comprised of projects with a high risk-adjusted expected rate of return. According to the Company, this is evidenced by the fact that more than 80% of the 2014 budget for project execution is dedicated to the financing of the expansion of the iron ore production and distribution network, the development of the integrated mine-plant-railway-port coal operations in Mozambique, and the Salobo copper and gold project.
