Dr. Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite the market headwinds, third quarter results were in line with our expectations with adjusted EBITDA of $60 million, slightly higher than in the second quarter, while volumes were impacted by soft demand. We are taking appropriate actions to reduce production in response to current demand trends. We are optimistic that demand will improve in 2025 as the year progresses.

“We see significant potential in 2025 in the U.S. ferrosilicon market. The US Department of Commerce has imposed final anti-dumping and countervailing duties of 283% and 748%, respectively, on all Russian ferrosilicon imports. On November 1, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced preliminary anti-dumping duties on Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia, ranging from 1% to 22%. In addition, preliminary countervailing duties ranging from 2.4% to 61.7% were announced in September against Brazil, Kazakhstan and Malaysia.

“As part of our next ESG Report, we will announce a decarbonization objective of reducing scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by at least 26% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline as part of our goal to enhance sustainability and transparency,” concluded Dr. Levi.

Consolidated Sales

​ ​

In the third quarter of 2024, Ferroglobe reported net sales of $433.5 million, a decrease of 3.9% over the prior quarter and an increase of 4.0% from the comparable prior year period. This decrease over the prior quarter is primarily attributable to lower sales volumes in our portfolio products, partially offset by higher pricing in silicon metal and manganese-based specialty alloys. Silicon metal, silicon-based alloys and manganese-based alloys declined in sales by $10.4 million, $3.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Product Category Highlights

Silicon Metal

($,000) Q3 2024 Q2 2024 % Q/Q Q3 2023 % Y/Y YTD 2024 YTD 2023 % Y/Y
Shipments in metric tons: 56,910 62,872 (9.5)% 57,031 (0.2)% 172,965 144,624 19.6%
Average selling price ($/MT): 3,401 3,244 4.8% 3,481 (2.3)% 3,268 3,834 (14.8)%
Silicon Metal Revenue 193,551 203,957 (5.1)% 198,525 (2.5)% 565,250 554,488 1.9%
Silicon Metal Adj.EBITDA 40,554 34,584 17.3% 80,823 (49.8)% 91,209 194,347 (53.1)%
Silicon Metal Adj.EBITDA Margin 21.0% 17.0% 40.7% 16.1% 35.0%

Silicon metal revenue in the third quarter was $193.6 million, a decrease of 5.1% over the prior quarter and a decrease of 2.5% from the comparable prior period. Average realized selling price increased by 4.8%, and shipments decreased due to lower volumes in EMEA and the U.S. The adjusted EBITDA for silicon metal increased 17.3% to $40.6 million during the third quarter, compared with $34.6 million for the prior quarter. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in the quarter was mainly driven by higher average selling price and energy compensation in France.

Silicon-Based Alloys

($,000) Q3 2024 Q2 2024 % Q/Q Q3 2023 % Y/Y YTD 2024 YTD 2023 % Y/Y
Shipments in metric tons: 45,489 46,953 (3.1)% 46,427 (2.0)% 143,613 144,984 (0.9)%
Average selling price ($/MT): 2,237 2,241 (0.2)% 2,475 (9.6)% 2,221 2,645 (16.0)%
Silicon-based Alloys Revenue 101,759 105,222 (3.3)% 114,907 (11.4)% 318,964 383,483 (16.8)%
Silicon-based Alloys Adj.EBITDA 2,356 10,199 (76.9)% 25,402 (90.7)% 26,967 79,138 (65.9)%
Silicon-based Alloys Adj.EBITDA Margin 2.3% 9.7% 22.1% 8.5% 20.6%

Silicon-based alloy revenue in the third quarter was $101.8 million, a decrease of 3.3% over the prior quarter and a decrease of 11.4% from the comparable prior period. Shipments decreased by 3.1%, which was attributable to demand weakness. Adjusted EBITDA for the silicon-based alloys decreased to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 76.9% compared with $10.2 million for the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased mainly due to cost deterioration attributed to volume declines, lower fixed cost absorption and decreasing efficiency. ​

Manganese-Based Alloys

($,000) Q3 2024 Q2 2024 % Q/Q Q3 2023 % Y/Y YTD 2024 YTD 2023 % Y/Y
Shipments in metric tons: 64,495 81,464 (20.8)% 56,399 14.4% 208,279 165,839 25.6%
Average selling price ($/MT): 1,391 1,204 15.5% 1,046 33.0% 1,221 1,198 1.9%
Manganese-based Alloys Revenue 89,713 98,083 (8.5)% 58,993 52.1% 254,309 198,675 28.0%
Manganese-based Alloys Adj.EBITDA 27,854 13,832 101.4% 11,000 153.2% 47,206 14,107 234.6%
Manganese-based Alloys Adj.EBITDA Margin 31.0% 14.1% 18.6% 18.6% 7.1%

Manganese-based alloy revenue in the third quarter was $89.7 million, a decrease of 8.5% over the prior quarter and an increase of 52.1% from the comparable prior period. The average realized selling price increased by 15.5% and total shipments decreased by 20.8%. Adjusted EBITDA for the manganese-based alloys portfolio increased to $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 101.4% compared with $13.8 million for the prior quarter. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was mainly driven by higher sales prices and the energy compensation in France in the third quarter of 2024.

Raw materials and energy consumption for production

Raw materials and energy consumption for production was $256.2 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus $264.3 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of 3.1%. As a percentage of sales, raw materials and energy consumption for production was 59% in the third quarter of 2024, equivalent to the prior quarter.  Cost improvement compared to the previous quarter was driven by a decrease in  energy costs in France and Spain and lower raw material prices, primarily manganese ore.

Net  Income Attributable to the Parent

In the third quarter of 2024, net income attributable to the parent was $18.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to a net income attributable to the parent of $34.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share in the second quarter. The Company reported adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.11 for the third quarter, compared with adjusted earnings per share of $0.13 per share in the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

In the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA was $60.4 million, or 13.9% of sales, an increase of 1% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $57.7 million, or 12.8% of sales, from the second quarter of 2024. This was mainly driven by stronger pricing.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $120.8 million as of September 30, 2024, down $23.7 million from $144.5 million as of  June 30, 2024.

During the third quarter, the Company generated $11.1 million in cash flow from operations, used $20.4 million in cash flow from investing activities and used $16.4 million in cash flows from financing activities, mainly due to loan repayments of $6.6 million, payments for lease liabilities of $5.8 million and dividend payments of $2.4 million

Total working capital was $528.6 million on September 30, 2024, up from $499.1 million on June 30, 2024. The $29.5 million increase in working capital balance during the quarter was mainly due to a $12.3 million increase in trade and other receivables, $10.3 million increase in inventories and $6.9 million decrease in trade and other payables .

Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We posted a strong adjusted EBITDA of $60 million in the third quarter and are reiterating our annual adjusted EBITDA guidance of $150 million to $170 million. Our working capital increased during the quarter as we are preparing for earlier idling of certain operations in the fourth quarter to manage inventory and preserve cash.”

Capital Returns

During the third quarter, Ferroglobe repurchased approximately 117,000 shares at an average price of $4.22 per share and

paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.013 per share on September 27, 2024. Our next cash dividend of $0.013 per share will be paid on December 27, 2024, to shareholders of record as of December 20, 2024.

NASDAQ: GSM<br>Forward-Looking Statements and<br>Non-IFRS Financial Metrics<br>2<br>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<br>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<br>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,"<br>"anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "intend," "forecast," “aim,” “target,” or variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.<br>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<br>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,<br>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.<br>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<br>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<br>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<br>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<br>regulatory conditions including, among others, changes in metals prices; (v) increases in the cost of energy and other raw materials; (vi) competition in the metals and foundry industries; (vii) environmental<br>and regulatory risks; (viii) ability to identify liabilities associated with acquired properties prior to their acquisition; (ix) ability to manage operational risks including industrial accidents and natural disasters; (x)<br>ability to manage a global footprint; (xi) changes in technology; (xii) ability to acquire or renew permits and approvals; (xiii) changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting Ferroglobe; (xiv)<br>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<br>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,<br>anticipated tax rates, raw material costs or availability or other regulatory compliance costs. The foregoing list is not exhaustive.<br>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, Annual Reports on Form 20-F,<br>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<br>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<br>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<br>intended as guidance or projections for the periods presented herein or any future periods.<br>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<br>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<br>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.<br>Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net profit, adjusted profit per share, working capital, adjusted gross debt, net cash and net debt, are non-IFRS financial metrics that, we believe, are<br>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<br>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<br>financial measures.<br>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 November 6,<br>2024 accompanying this presentation, which is incorporated by reference herein.
