23. 23 It’s time to work together In order to have reached its annual capacity target of 76Mtpa during 2008, producers would have had to produce, TFR would have had to rail, and RBCT would have had to ship an average of 6.3Mtpm during the year. Source: Barlow Jonker, 2009

25. 25 Power through the storm – together Cost discipline Improve efficiencies Spend cash wisely Create alliances Minimise value losses across value chain – exploit synergies Collectively develop logistical solutions for the coal business BUSINESS AS IT USUALLY SHOULD BE

26. 26 Final thought “As the credit crunch threatens to become a global downturn, corporate leaders have a choice: pull in their horns and ride out the storm or look for opportunities to pick up bargain-basement assets that will help them grow and create future value for shareholders. If past is prologue, more will follow the first course – which is a mistake.” M&A strategies in a down market The McKinsey Quarterly, September 2008
