Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The second quarter results reflect a strong improvement in our overall performance and marks the return to profitability, an important goal for this year. Both the top line and bottom line continue to strengthen due to successful execution of the strategic plan, as well as the overall robustness across our all of our markets.” Dr. Levi added, “As we look towards the back half of the year, we will keep the momentum going on all fronts to capitalize on the market opportunities and successfully execute some critical initiatives underpinning the strategic plan. Collectively, these efforts support the focus on improving the core of our business and ensuring a stronger and more profitable Company.”
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash generated from operations during Q2 2021 was $37.8 million, and the Company returned to positive net cash flow of $21.6 million during the quarter.
Working capital only increased by $0.6 million, from $334.3 million as of June 30, 2021 to $333.7 million as of March 31, 2021. Increased emphasis on operational and financial efficiencies resulted in this relatively flat level of working capital despite the ramp-up in activity.
Net debt was $358 million as of June 30, 2021, up from $334 million as of March 31, 2021. This is primarily attributable to the initial $40 million tranche raised during the quarter, of an aggregate $60 million of the new super senior secured. The subsequent $20 million tranche was closed and funded in the third quarter.
Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “This marks an important quarter for the Company. The return to positive net income and positive net cash flow validates the on-going efforts to turnaround our financial performance. However, we remain far from reaching the full potential of this business. Our top line is not fully benefiting from the current market prices across our product portfolio as we have fixed price contracts which begin to roll off during the back half of the year. Furthermore, we had a number of one-off, non-recurring expenses which also adversely impacted our margins. We remain extremely focused on cost management, particularly to off-set inflationary pressures on energy pricing, mainly in Europe. These factors will collectively drive an acceleration in our performance and cash generation during the remainder of the year.” Ms. García-Cos added, “The comprehensive financing we completed in July now provides the financial support to execute on important elements of the transformation plan and ensures a capital structure that provides the operational flexibility to capitalize on this strong market backdrop.”
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. In first and second quarter of 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 July 30, 2021, the Company announces the occurrence of “Transaction Effective Date” under Lock-up agreement dated March 27, 2021 and completion of the financing transactions. The financing consisted of:
| (i) | Extension of the maturity date of the Notes from March 31, 2022 to December 31, 2025 |
| (ii) | Issuance of $60 million of new senior secured notes, and |
| (iii) | $40 million of equity issuance |

Sales Prices & Volumes By Product
During Q2 2021, the average selling prices across our product portfolio increased by 11.0% versus Q1 2021. During the quarter, the average selling prices of silicon metal increased 2.7%, silicon-based alloys prices increased 9.9%, and manganese-based alloys prices increased 20.5%.
Overall sales volumes in Q2 increased by 2.8% versus the prior quarter. During the quarter, the shipmentsof silicon metal increased 9.9%, silicon-based alloys shipments increased 5.9%, and manganese-based alloys shipments decreased 5.9% versus Q1 2021.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $267.9 million in Q2 2021, an increase from $250.2 million in the prior quarter. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 64.0% in Q2 2021 versus 69.2% for Q1 2021. This improvement is primarily attributable to higher sales and a reclassification from this account to Other operating expenses to conform the group presentation.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses amounted to $57.6 million in Q2 2021, an increase from $36.8 million in the prior quarter. The increase in these expenses was mainly due to the impact of the European free CO2 rights for 2021. The free allowance of these CO2 rights are recognized in Other Operating Income.
Net Loss Attributable to the Parent
In Q2 2021, net profit attributable to the Parent was $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to the Parent of $67.4 million million, or ($0.40) per diluted share in Q1 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA
In Q2 2021, adjusted EBITDA was $34.1 million, or 8.1% of sales, up 54.5% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $22.1 million, or 6.1% of sales in Q1 2021. The increase in the Q2 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by the improvement in average realized prices across the product portfolio.

Forward-looking statements often use forward-looking terminology, including words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “guidance”, “intends”, “likely”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predicts”, “seek”, “target”, “will” and words of similar meaning or the negative thereof.
Forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on information currently available to the Company and assumptions that management believe to be reasonable, but are inherently uncertain. As a result, Ferroglobe’s 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 the Company’s control.

Non-IFRS Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net profit, adjusted profit per share, working capital and net debt, are non-IFRS financial metrics that, we believe, are pertinent measures of Ferroglobe’s success. Ferroglobe has included these financial metrics to provide supplemental measures of its performance. The Company believes 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.

| 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 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 August 23, 2021 accompanying this presentation, which is incorporated by reference herein. 2 Ferroglobe |
