AK Steel guides Q3 EPS below consensus--Briefing.com

For Q3, the co expects shipments of ~ 1,350,000 tons, a decrease of ~3% from the 1,398,000 tons shipped in the second quarter of 2014. Shipments for the third quarter reflect the effects of reduced production at the company's Ashland Works blast furnace due to a recent unplanned maintenance outage and subsequent production shortfall, partly offset by continued strong demand from the automotive market.
