by David Chau

Sims Metal Management Ltd (ASX:SGM) has reported its underlying NPAT fell 62.6% to $38 million in FY16.

In addition, its sales revenue fell 26.3% to $4.65 billion – due to lower prices and sales volumes for metals.

The metals and electronics recycling company is targeting a return on capital target of 10% or higher in FY18, despite market conditions – particularly the overcapacity of steel production in China.

The company will pay a fully-franked final dividend of 12 cents per share, which will be paid to shareholders in October.
