- Started production of high purity silicon used in batteries with limited volumes. Have begun to receive orders
- Enhancing our global footprint with 22k tons of silicon metal capacity added in Selma, Alabama plant in 2022 and in the process of adding 55k tons at our plant in Polokwane, South Africa
Dr. Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “2022 was a record year for Ferroglobe with revenue and adjusted EBITDA at the highest in the Company’s history. Our strong performance was the result of strong prices and demand early in the year followed by a weaker environment in the second half, driven by sluggish activity in our end markets. Our performance in 2022 was amplified by the improvements we have made to the business through our value creation plan. The value creation plan has generated approximately $150 million of cost savings and an additional $40 million in commercial excellence on a run-rate basis, and is projected to increase to $225 million by the end of 2023.
“The prospects for Ferroglobe have never been stronger. We have optimized the cost structure of the Company to enable us to outperform throughout the cycle. In addition, we are well positioned to capitalize on several trends taking place in the market that will drive growth in the coming years. We expect the battery market for electric vehicles and the solar market presents an extraordinary opportunity, driven by the need for high purity silicon. The use of silicon in batteries is still in its early stages of development and we expect to see significant growth as this technology is perfected. We are currently partnered with battery developers and have recently started production, albeit at low volumes. Solar is another market that requires high purity silicon, which represents an enormous market that we expect to continue to capitalize on, particularly as the trend to onshoring gains momentum.
“In 2022, we added an additional 22k tons at our Selma, Alabama facility and are currently in the process of completing a 55k ton expansion at our Polokwane, South Africa plant. These capacity additions required minimal investment and enabled us to expand our access to low-cost silicon metal, enhancing our flexible global footprint enabling us to move volume to optimize our cost of production. During recent periods of extreme energy volatility, particularly in Europe, we were able to minimize our exposure by moving production from Spain and France to lower cost regions. This flexibility enabled us to lower our costs and still service our customers.
“Given our insights into customer orders and end markets, we expect the first quarter to be down from Q4, but increase throughout the remainder of the year. In an effort to provide more insight to investors, we are introducing adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2023, which we expect to be approximately $270 million to $300m,” concluded Dr. Levi.

Sales
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Ferroglobe reported net sales of $448.6 million, a decrease of 24% over the prior quarter and a decrease of 21% over the year-ago period. For the full year 2022, sales were $2.6 billion versus $1.8 billion in the prior year, an increase of 46%. The decrease in our fourth quarter results is primarily attributable to lower volumes across our product portfolio, and lower pricing in our main products. The $145 million decrease in sales over the prior quarter was primarily driven by silicon metal, which accounted for $80 million of the decrease, silicon-based alloys, which accounted for $52 million and manganese-based alloys, which accounted for $7 million. The increase in sales for the full year 2022 was driven by higher volumes and a significant increase in prices, particularly during the first half of the year.
Raw materials and energy consumption for production
Raw materials and energy consumption for production was $281.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus $285.2 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of 1%. As a percentage of sales, raw materials and energy consumption for production was 63% in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus 48% in the prior quarter. This variance was mainly due to higher energy costs, higher raw material costs and lower fixed cost absorption as a result of the decrease in production in France. For full year 2022, raw materials and energy consumption for production was $1.3 billion, or 49% of sales, versus $1.2 billion, or 67% of sales. The improvement in these costs as a percent of sales was driven by operating leverage as a result of higher pricing.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Parent
In the fourth quarter of 2022, net profit attributable to the parent was $25.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to a net profit attributable to the parent of $97.6 million, or $0.52 per diluted share in the third quarter. For the full year 2022, net profit attributable to the parent was $459.5million, or $2.43 per diluted share, compared to negative $110.6 million, or negative $0.63.eps
Adjusted EBITDA
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $130.4 million, or 29% of sales, a decrease of 30% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $185.3 million, or 31% of sales in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2022 Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volumes and prices.
For the full year 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $860.1 million, or 33% of sales, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $179.3 million, or 10% of sales, for the full year 2021.
Total Cash
The total cash balance was $322.9 million as of December 31, 2022, up $86.1 million from $236.8 million as of September 30, 2022.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we generated positive operating cash flow of $118.1 million, had negative cash flow from investing activities of $24.5 million, and $7.7 million in negative cash flow from financing activities.
Total Working Capital
Total working capital was $705.9 million at December 31, 2022, decreasing from $717.3 million at September 30, 2022. The $11.5 million decrease in working capital during the quarter was due primarily to a decrease in inventories.
Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our balance sheet improved dramatically in the fourth quarter as we continued to reduce our net debt balance from $194 million in the third quarter to $137 million, an improvement of $57 million. This improvement was a result of strong cash flow generation, aided by a reduction in working capital. We expect the release working capital to continue in the first and second quarters of 2023 driving continued improvement to our balance sheet.
“We are targeting a positive net cash position in 2023. As our balance sheet continues to improve, we are focused on optimizing our capital structure and how best to return money to our shareholders,” concluded Mrs. García-Cos.

Russia – Ukraine War
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States, United Kingdom and European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia. Sanctions imposed on coal and assimilated products such as anthracite and metallurgical coke have obliged Ferroglobe to redirect its sourcing of such products to other origins at a moment of strong market demand, leading to a temporary increase in raw materials prices. The uncertain supply and logistical conditions in Russia have also led Ferroglobe to diversify its sourcing of carbon electrodes. New sourcing was put in place in the previous quarter allowing Ferroglobe to ensure supply continuity to its operations worldwide while maintaining compliance with applicable sanctions.
Subsequent events
