Ferroglobe Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021

​

Highest quarterly revenues since 2018 and record quarterly Adjusted EBITDA

​

LONDON, March 2, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Ferroglobe PLC (NASDAQ: GSM) (“Ferroglobe”, the “Company”, or the “Parent”), a leading producer globally of silicon metal, silicon-based and manganese-based specialty alloys, today announced results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2021.

​

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS ​

●	Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was driven by strong fundamentals across all three product categories, which is expected to further fuel performance in 2022
●	Tightness in the market is driving pricing to unprecedented levels, primarily silicon metal and ferrosilicon
---	---
●	Yearly fixed price contracts in silicon metal have expired at year-end 2021, driving a step-change in realized prices in Q1 due to higher market prices and heavier weighting towards index-based contracts
---	---
●	Outperformed 2021 targets set in turnaround plan with momentum into 2022; repositioning the Company to deliver stronger results through the cycle
---	---

​

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

​

●	Q4 2021 sales were $569.8 million, up 33% from $429.2 million in the prior quarter
●	Record Adjusted EBITDA of $92.8 million in Q4, up 146.9% from $37.6 million in the prior quarter
---	---
●	Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q4 was 16.3%, an increase from 8.8% in Q3
---	---
●	Returned to profitability in Q4 with profit attributable to the parent of $66.3 million, compared to a loss of ($96.6 million) in Q3

​

Dr. Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The past year represented an important inflection point for the company as we made significant progress in improving the business operationally and financially, all with the objective of creating a company that can remain competitive through the cycle.  The acceleration of performance in Q4 highlights strong momentum across all of our core product categories driving significant top line growth, well ahead of the lingering headwinds caused by energy and other inflation related costs.  This market backdrop, coupled with the resetting of our silicon metal contracts, is expected to help fuel a further acceleration in our overall performance into 2022”.

“While the current pricing environment is one that benefits Ferroglobe in the near-term, we are not counting solely on elevated prices to drive value creation for our stakeholders.  Our comprehensive turnaround plan, which was implemented in 2021, is running ahead of schedule and exceeding our stated targets.  While we have made great progress to date, we continue to work towards improving our overall competitiveness in the market”, concluded Dr. Levi.

​

Sales

​

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Ferroglobe reported net sales of $569.8 million, up 33% over the prior quarter and up 78% over the year-ago period.  For the full year 2021, sales of $1.78 billion were 55.4% higher than the full year 2020 sales of $1.14 billion.  The improvement in both our quarter and annual results is attributable to higher shipments and higher realized prices across the product portfolio.

​

Cost of Sales

​

Cost of sales was $371.5 million in Q4 2021 versus $295.3 million in the prior quarter and $272.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 65.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021 versus 68.8% in the prior quarter. The improvement in the cost of sales in Q4 was primarily driven by improved utilization of our asset base, reallocation of orders to optimize economics, stronger operational performance at the furnace level, and continued cost cutting.  These costs were partially offset by continued headwinds, particularly higher energy costs in Spain, which increased $25.9 million over the third quarter.  For the full year 2021, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 66.6%, compared to 73.0% during full year 2020.

​

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Parent

​

In Q4 2021, net profit attributable to the Parent was $66.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to the Parent of ($96.6) million, or ($0.54) per diluted share in Q3 2021.  For the full year 2021, net loss attributable to the Parent was ($95.7) million, or ($0.54) per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to the Parent of ($246.4) million during the full year 2020.   During Q3 2021 we had significant one-time costs ($90.8) million relating to the refinancing of the senior notes. ​

​ ​

Adjusted EBITDA

​

In Q4 2021, adjusted EBITDA was $92.8 million, or 16.3% of sales, up 146.8% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $37.6 million, or 8.8% of sales in Q3 2021. The increase in the Q4 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is attributable to volumes ($7.9 million) and higher realized prices ($89.6) million.  Costs had an adverse impact of ($30.6) million, primarily attributable to higher energy costs ($26.0 million), of which $25.9 million were in Spain, higher raw material prices ($5.7 million), the CO2 accrual ($5.5 million), and lower fixed cost absorption in Spain ($1.6 million).  Partially offsetting these costs was a positive impact of the pension plan in France ($3.9 million), proceeds from the sale of the Niagara facility ($1.4 million), and asset disposals ($0.3 million).  Furthermore, there was an adverse impact of ($10.5 million) relating to overhead expense.  This is due to a bonus accrual charge of ($8.0 million) and an accounting accrual relating to audit charges totaling ($2.0 million).

​

For the full year 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $186.6 million, or 10.5% of sales, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $32.5 million, or 2.8% of sales, for the full year 2020.

​

Total Cash

​

The total cash balance was $116.7 million as of December 31, 2021, up $21.6 million, from $95.1 million as of September 30, 2021.  The total cash balance was $131.6 million as of December 31, 2020.

​

During Q4 2021, we generated positive operating cash flow of $21.7 million; had cash flows from investing activities of negative $7.5 million, and had cash flow from financing activities of $7.4 million.  Total net cash flow for the period was $21.6 million.

​

​

​

Total Working Capital

​

Total working capital was $464.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, increasing from $395.9 million at September 30, 2021.  The $69.0 million increase in working capital was impacted by a $11 million increase in inventory and a $83.4 million increase in accounts receivable as a result of higher sales.  On a relative basis, our working capital as a percentage of sales was 20.4% during the fourth quarter, compared to 23.1% during the prior quarter and 29.7% at the end of 2020.

​ ​

​ Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We ended the year on a strong note, with revenue growing 33% and record setting Adjusted EBITDA increasing by 147%, sequentially.  While we continue to be impacted by the high energy costs in Spain and inflationary impact on other costs, we partially offset this by enhancing operational efficiencies and through our cost cutting measures, resulting in a significant improvement in margins.  Furthermore, we were able to improve our liquidity from cash generated in the business during this quarter.”

​

Mrs. Garcia-Cos continued, “2021 was marked by a number of one-off events which consumed a significant amount of cash.  With these now behind us, coupled with more efficient working capital management, we are well positioned to accelerate our cash generation.  Going forward, we will look to deleverage the balance sheet, reducing overall gross debt and investing in our asset base to a normalized level of approximately $75 million per annum.  We think these are critical areas of focus on to ensure the long-term competitiveness of our company and to provide a healthy level of performance throughout the cycle.”

​

Silicon metal revenue in the fourth quarter was $187.5 million, an increase of 23.2% over the prior quarter.  Total shipments of silicon metal increased 3.2%, primarily as a result of continued strength in chemicals and to a lesser extent, the aluminum market in Europe which continues to lag due to continued supply chain issues.  Overall tightness in the market, attributable to strong end market demand and ongoing reforms in China, propelled U.S. and European index prices to unprecedented levels during the fourth quarter.  Adjusted EBITDA for silicon metal increased to $32.5 million during the fourth quarter, up 184.4% from $11.4 million the prior quarter.

​

Silicon-based alloy revenue in the fourth quarter was $166.4 million, an increase of 49.6% over the prior quarter.  Total shipments increased 7.5% due to the continued recovery in global steel production.  Strong demand for ferrosilicon, coupled with low levels of inventory, sent the index higher in the US and Europe, contributing significantly to the 39.1% increase in average realized prices across silicon-based alloy during the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the silicon-based alloys portfolio increased to $51.17 million, up 511.0% from $8.4 million the prior quarter.

​

Manganese-based alloy revenue in the fourth quarter was $166.9 million, an increase of 38.7% over the prior quarter.  Total shipments increased 26.9% due to continued recovery in global steel production, and some seasonal spillover of orders from the third quarter.  During the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA from our manganese-based alloys portfolio was $28.6 million, up 27.2% over the prior quarter.  In addition to the pricing and volume improvement, there was also a shift in the overall product mix which contributed to the quarterly results.

​

COVID-19

​COVID-19 has been and continues to be a complex and evolving situation, with governments, public institutions and other organizations imposing or recommending, and businesses and individuals implementing, at various times and to varying degrees, restrictions on various activities or other actions to combat its spread, such as restrictions and bans on travel or transportation; limitations on the size of in-person gatherings, restrictions on freight transportations, closures of, or occupancy or other operating limitations on work facilities, and quarantines and lock-downs.

As a result of this pandemic and the strict confinement and other public health measures taken around the world, the demand for our products in the second and third quarters of 2020 was reduced significantly compared with the first and fourth quarters of the year. During the fourth quarter of 2020, demand level for our products increased to levels similar to those prior to the outbreak. Throughout 2021, demand for our products has increased even further than in the fourth quarter of 2020; however, COVID-19 has negatively impacted, and will in the future negatively impact to an extent we are unable to predict, our revenues. ​

​ Subsequent events

​

On February 15, 2022, the Company announced that the Spanish Fund for supporting strategic companies, on a proposal of the Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (“SEPI”), a Spanish state-owned industrial holding company affiliated with the Ministry of Finance and Administration, has approved €34.5 million in loans to Grupo Ferroatlántica, S.A.U. and Grupo Ferroátlantica de Servicios, S.L.U., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.  These loans are part of the SEPI fund intended to provide assistance to non-financial companies operating in strategically important sectors within Spain in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

​

The €34.5M is expected to be funded using a dual-tranche loan, with €17.25M maturing in February 2025 and €17.25M maturing in June 2025.  €16.9M of the loan carries a fixed interest rate of 2% per annum, and interest on the remaining €17.6M is calculated as IBOR plus a spread of 2.5% in the first year, 3.5% in the second and third years and 5.0% in the fourth year, plus an additional 1.0% payable if the result before taxes of the Beneficiaries is positive.  The loans are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  The loans are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

​

Trading Update

​

Ferroglobe’s estimated unaudited Adjusted EBITDA for January 2022 is approximately $74 million.

​

Ferroglobe’s portfolio of products benefited from a strong pricing environment in January, particularly with the reset of silicon metal contracts.  On the cost side, the business continues to face a number of uncertainties, some of which have been ongoing headwinds for several quarters, such as the high cost and volatility of energy in Spain and inflation across other inputs.

​

Other emerging developments, such as those stemming from the conflict in Ukraine, could also impact our operations.  Russia and Ukraine are meaningful producers of silicon metal, ferroalloys and manganese based alloys, and are also significant suppliers of raw materials for our business and industry.  The inability of Russian and Ukrainian producers to meet their customer obligations could potentially create tightness in the market in the immediate term.  Likewise, we rely on a number of inputs from Russia and the CIS region, including metcoke, anthracite and carbon and graphite electrodes.  Our inability to procure these material can adversely impact our operations.

​

Management continually tracks developments in the nascent conflict in Ukraine and is committed to actively managing our response to potential distributions to the business, but can provide no assurance that the conflict in Ukraine or other ongoing headwinds will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial results.  Investors should also consider the risk factors and other disclosures in our annual reports on Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements and non-IFRS Financial Metrics 2 This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are based on certain assumptions of management and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including, but not limited to, "may," “could,” “seek,” “guidance,” “predict,” “potential,” “likely,” "believe," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "intend," "forecast," “aim,” “target,” or variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on information presently available to Ferroglobe PLC (“we,” “us,” “Ferroglobe,” the “Company” or the “Parent”) and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain. As a result, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control. You are cautioned that all such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, risks that Ferroglobe will not successfully integrate the businesses of Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. and Grupo FerroAtlántica SAU, that we will not realize estimated cost savings, value of certain tax assets, synergies and growth, and/or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: (i) risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration, including operating costs, customer loss and business disruption being greater than expected; (ii) our organizational and governance structure; (iii) the ability to hire and retain key personnel; (iv) regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions including, among others, changes in metals prices; (v) increases in the cost of raw materials or energy; (vi) competition in the metals and foundry industries; (vii) environmental and regulatory risks; (viii) ability to identify liabilities associated with acquired properties prior to their acquisition; (ix) ability to manage price and operational risks including industrial accidents and natural disasters; (x) ability to manage foreign operations; (xi) changes in technology; (xii) ability to acquire or renew permits and approvals; (xiii) changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting Ferroglobe; (xiv) conditions in the credit markets; (xv) risks associated with assumptions made in connection with critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; (xvi) Ferroglobe's international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls; and (xvii) the potential of international unrest, economic downturn or effects of currencies, tax assessments, tax adjustments, anticipated tax rates, raw material costs or availability or other regulatory compliance costs. The foregoing list is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect our business, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form F-1, Annual Reports on Form 20-F, Current Reports on Form 6-K and other documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not give any assurance (1) that we will achieve our expectations or (2) concerning any result or the timing thereof, in each case, with respect to any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, warning letters, consent decree, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results. Forward- looking financial information and other metrics presented herein represent our key goals and are not intended as guidance or projections for the periods presented herein or any future periods. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of the forward-looking statements in this presentation to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date of this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net profit, adjusted profit per share, working capital, adjusted gross debt and net debt, are non-IFRS financial metrics that, we believe, are pertinent measures of Ferroglobe’s success. The Company has included these financial metrics to provide supplemental measures of its performance. We believe these metrics are important because they eliminate items that have less bearing on the Company’s current and future operating performance and highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. For additional information, including a reconciliation of the differences between such non-IFRS financial measures and the comparable IFRS financial measures, refer to the press release dated March 2, 2022 accompanying this presentation, which is incorporated by reference herein.

I. Q4 Business Review

​

​ ​

​

OPENING REMARKS 5 BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was driven by strong fundamentals across all three product categories, which is expected to further fuel performance in 2022 Tightness in the market is driving pricing to unprecedented levels, primarily silicon metal and ferrosilicon Yearly fixed price contracts in silicon metal have expired at year-end 2021, driving a step-change in realized prices in Q1 due to higher market prices and heavier weighting towards index-based contracts Outperformed 2021 targets set in turnaround plan with momentum into 2022; repositioning the Company to deliver stronger results through the cycle FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Q4 2021 sales were $569.8 million, up 33% from $429.2 million in the prior quarter Record Adjusted EBITDA of $92.8 million in Q4, up 146.9% from $37.6 million in the prior quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q4 was 16.3%, an increase from 8.8% in Q3 Returned to profitability in Q4 with profit attributable to the parent of $66.3 million, compared to a loss of ($96.6 million) in Q3 Returned to positive free cash flow, generating $14.2 million of free cash-glow in the fourth quarter, up from negative $42.9 million in the prior quarter Improved liquidity with total cash of $116.7 million in Q4, up $21.6 million from the prior quarter

​

PRODUCT CATEGORY SNAPSHOT Silicon Metal 6 Volume trends Sequential quarters EBITDA evolution ($m) Index pricing trends ($/mt) Avg. realized price (non-JV shipments) up 23% in Q4 due to successful pass-through of higher energy costs Volumes increased by 3.2% supported by strong demand from the chemical industry; continued logistical bottlenecks, restart of Selma facility delayed to Jan-2022 Higher costs impacted by energy ($9.9m) mainly in Spain ($7.7m), higher raw material costs ($1.6m), CO2 accrual ($5.8m) and bonus accrual ($1.6m). Partially offset by higher prices realized for out of spec material (+$7.1m) and pension plan adjustment in France (+$2.7m) Continued strong demand from the chemical sector, supported by improved consumer trends; caution in the aluminum sector due to concerns in operating cost driven by energy pricing in Europe 1,500 3,500 5,500 7,500 9,500 11,500 Silicon US CRU spot - import Silicon EU CRU spot (5.5.3) 53,321 47,884 51,215 54,912 61,275 67,322 61,713 63,681 Q1-20 Q2-20 Q3-20 Q4-20 Q1-21 Q2-21 Q3-21 Q4-21

PRODUCT CATEGORY SNAPSHOT Silicon-Based Alloys 7 Volume trends Sequential quarters EBITDA evolution ($m) Index pricing trends ($/mt) Average realized selling price up 39.1%, predominantly supported by ferrosilicon and foundry – strong momentum in FeSi index pricing during Q4 Volumes increased by 7.5% due to continued strength in ferrosilicon and foundry products Higher costs primarily impacted by energy ($7.2m) mainly in Spain ($8.4m), higher raw materials ($4.1m), bonus accrual ($1.7m). Partially offset by impact of CO2 accrual (+$7.5m) and pension plan adjustment in France (+$1.2m) Despite some recent volatility, overall global steel sector fundamentals remain favourable as the industry recovers to pre-COVID production levels 60,932 39,479 42,449 57,351 61,604 65,222 55,863 60,078 Q1-20 Q2-20 Q3-20 Q4-20 Q1-21 Q2-21 Q3-21 Q4-21 500 1,500 2,500 3,500 4,500 5,500 Ferrosilicon US CRU spot - import Ferrosilicon EU CRU spot

​

PRODUCT CATEGORY SNAPSHOT Manganese-Based Alloys 8 Volume trends Sequential quarters EBITDA evolution ($m) Index pricing trends ($/mt) Average realized selling price up 9.3%, supported by higher prices and product mix Volume increased by 26.9% due to some seasonal spill-over from Q3 Costs adversely impacted by higher energy costs ($8.9m) mainly in Spain ($9.6m), lower fixed cost absorption due to curtailments in Spain ($1.6m), CO2 accrual ($7.2m) and inventory adjustments ($2.1m). Partially off-set by the benefit on energy costs from shifting production (+$4.5m) and positive contribution of product mix (+$2.3m) Sustained market recovery to pre-COVID levels supports stable near-term demand outlook 73,724 55,290 53,980 78,611 72,609 68,323 76,454 97,053 Q1-20 Q2-20 Q3-20 Q4-20 Q1-21 Q2-21 Q3-21 Q4-21 900 1,100 1,300 1,500 1,700 1,900 2,100 High-carbon ferromanganese EU CRU spot Silico-manganese EU CRU spot

INCOME STATEMENT SUMMARY Q4-21 vs. Q3-21 & fy 2021 vs. Fy 2020 11 Sales 33% up versus previous quarter driven by strong demand across all products Cost of sales as a % of sales has improved by 4%, as top-line growth more than offset higher energy and other cost Other operating income / expenses variance is primarily driven by the fair value of the CO2 accrual. Additionally, in the case of other operating expense has been partially offset by a decrease in advisors fees and the weakening of the euro vs. dollar in the quarter Staff cost in Q4 increased due an updated bonus accrual. Q3 includes a partial release of the restructuring provision $9.9 million Net finance expense in Q3 included the accounting impact of the refinancing cost of the prior Sr. Notes considered as debt extinguishment for $90.8 million Consolidated Income Statement ($'000) Q4-21 Q3-21 Q/Q FY-21 FY-20 Y/Y Sales 569,771 429,210 33% 1,778,908 1,144,434 55% Cost of sales (371,519) (295,273) (26%) (1,184,896) (835,486) (42%) Cost of sales % 65% 69% 79% 67% 73% 75% Other operating incomes 39,619 31,447 26% 110,085 33,627 227% Staff costs (72,068) (50,386) (43%) (280,917) (214,782) (31%) Other operating expense (79,770) (79,785) 0% (289,564) (132,059) (119%) Depreciation and amortization (24,549) (23,971) (2%) (97,328) (108,189) 10% Operating profit/(loss) before adjustments 61,484 11,242 447% 36,288 (112,455) 132% Others 3,376 18 18,856% 4,073 (71,895) 106% Operating profit/(loss) 64,860 11,260 476% 40,361 (184,350) 122% Net finance expense (12,445) (103,379) 88% (142,865) (66,791) (114%) FX differences & other gains/losses 9,874 (6,180) 260% (2,384) 28,721 (108%) Profit (loss) before tax 62,289 (98,299) 163% (104,888) (222,420) 53% Income tax 2,789 680 310% 4,562 (21,939) 121% Profit (loss) for the year from continuing operations 65,078 (97,619) 167% (100,326) (244,359) 59% Profit for the period from discontinued operations - - 0% - (5,399) 100% Profit (loss) 65,078 (97,619) 167% (100,326) (249,758) 60% Profit/(loss) attributable to non-controlling interest 1,242 1,023 21% 4,580 3,419 34% Profit (loss) attributable to the parent 66,320 (96,596) 169% (95.746) (246,339) 61% EBITDA 86,728 35,231 146% 137,689 (76,161) 281% Adjusted EBITDA 92,825 37,592 147% 186,575 32,510 474% Adjusted EBITDA % 16% 9% 10% 3%

III. Trading Update

​

​ ​

​

TRADING UPDATE 18 Estimated (unaudited) Adjusted EBITDA for January 2022 is approximately $74 million ─ portfolio of products benefited from a strong pricing environment in January, particularly with the reset of silicon metal contracts ─ continued uncertainties and cost pressures lingering from higher energy costs and inflationary impact across other inputs Emerging uncertainties stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict ─ Russia is a meaningful supplier to Ferroglobe (metcoke, anthracite, electrodes) ─ Russia/Ukraine are meaningful producers of silicon metal, ferroalloys and manganese-based alloys, exporting into our markets ─ Potential for supply chain disruptions Management continually tracks developments in the nascent conflict in Ukraine and is committed to actively managing our response to potential distributions to the business, but can provide no assurance that the conflict in Ukraine or other ongoing headwinds will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial results. Note: Investors should also consider the risk factors and other disclosures in our annual reports on Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
