LONDON, Nov. 15, 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 third quarter 2022.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Q3 2022 revenue of $593.2 million, down 29.5% over the prior quarter
• Q3 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $185.3 million, down 38.9% over the prior quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA margin decrease of 5 percentage points to 31% in Q3 2022, down from 36% over the prior quarter
• Net profit of $98.8 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.52), compared to net profit of $185.1 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.98) in Q2 2022
• Net debt of $194 million at quarter end, similar at the end of Q2
• Total cash of $236.8 million at quarter-end, down $69.7 million from the prior quarter

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

• Solid third quarter results despite weaker market conditions
• Redeemed all $60 million of the 9% super senior secured notes due 2025
• Board approval of our new medium to long term strategy
• Planned restart of the Polokwane facility, adding 55,000 tons of silicon metal capacity in South Africa, providing access to strategically located lower-cost asset
• Ramping up industrial production of 99.999% (3N) and 99.9999% (4N) micrometer size silicon metal at our Puertollano facility in Spain

Dr. Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “During the third quarter, we have seen a challenging environment driven by demand slowdown and continued volatility in energy prices in Europe. Steel production has been heavily curtailed in Europe, where we have also seen massive closures of aluminum plants.

“Despite a difficult environment during the third quarter, Ferroglobe continues to perform well, generating robust sales and healthy profitability. The various initiatives that we have implemented over the past two years have enabled us to perform well during challenging periods and declining prices. We continue to focus on improving our overall competitiveness in the market and optimizing our cost position. The restart of our Polokwane facility will provide us with a competitive source of silicon metal with a location that will provide the flexibility to move production away from plants impacted by burdened energy costs and expand business in new geographies. As we have mentioned in prior earnings calls, we continue reducing our leverage with the objective of further strengthening our balance sheet. During the third quarter we redeemed $60 million of our 9% super senior secured notes, reducing our annual interest expense by over $5 million. We will continue to focus on optimizing our costs to improve the efficiency of our organization,” concluded Dr. Levi.

Sales

In the third quarter of 2022, Ferroglobe reported net sales of $593.2 million, a decrease of 29% compared with the prior quarter and an increase of 38% compared with the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in our third quarter results is primarily attributable to lower volumes across our product portfolio, and lower pricing in our main products. The $248 million decrease in sales over the prior quarter was primarily driven by silicon metal, which accounted for $92 million of the decrease, silicon based alloys, which accounted for $57 million and manganese-based alloys, which accounted for $95 million.

Raw materials and energy consumption for production

Raw materials and energy consumption for production was $285.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 versus $369.8 million in the prior quarter, a decrease of 23%. As a percentage of sales, raw materials and energy consumption for production was 48% in the third quarter of 2022 versus 44% in the prior quarter. This variance is mainly due to the larger energy benefit in France recognized in the second quarter, the increase in the price of energy and inflationary pressure on raw material prices, particularly coal.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Parent

In the third quarter of 2022, net profit attributable to the Parent was $97.6 million, or $0.52 per dilutedshare, compared to a net profit attributable to the Parent of $185.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share in the second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

In the third quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $185.3 million, or 31% of sales, a decrease of 5 percentage points compared to adjusted EBITDA of $303.2 million, or 36% of sales in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in the the third quarter of 2022 Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the decrease in sale volumes and price.

Total Cash

The total cash balance was $236.8 million as of September 30, 2022, down $69.7 million from $306.5 million as of June 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, we generated positive operating cash flow of $54.9 million, had negative cash flow from investing activities of $14.8 million, and $108.9 million in negative cash flow from financing activities, primarily driven by the $60 million of 9% super senior notes redeemed in July 2022.

Total Working Capital

Total working capital was $717.3 million at September 30, 2022, increasing from $687.3 million at June 30, 2022. The $30.0 million increase in working capital during the quarter was due primarily to a $108.6 million increase in inventories, partially offset by a $84.9 million decrease in accounts receivables. On a relative basis, our working capital as a percentage of sales increased during the third quarter to 30.2%, compared to 20.4% during the prior quarter.         

Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “During the third quarter we continued to follow through on our stated commitment to deleverage the balance sheet with the redemption of our 9% super senior notes that was completed in July. This reduced our adjusted gross debt by $60 million. This was in addition to the $19 million of the senior notes that we purchased in the open market during the second quarter.

“While our end-markets were challenging in the third quarter, we were able to successfully manage our cost to report healthy EBITDA, which remained relatively strong, as well as EBITDA margins, which were the third highest in the Company’s history. The third quarter results highlight that the cost cutting initiatives that we have implemented over the past couple of years enable us to perform well in both challenging markets as well as healthy ones.

“Ferroglobe’s financial condition is strong with $237 million in total cash, with provides us with much flexibility to manage our business” concluded Mrs. García-Cos.

Manganese-based alloy revenue in the third quarter was $97.5 million, a decrease of 49.4% over the prior quarter. The average realized selling price decreased by 20.2% and total shipments decreased 36.5%. Shipments declined, as a result of lower demand following an extraordinarily high second quarter, production self-constraint in Spain due to high energy prices, and higher pressure from Asian suppliers. Adjusted EBITDA for the manganese-based alloys portfolio decreased to $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 55.3% compared with $32.9 million for the prior quarter.

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 during the course of the quarter allowing Ferroglobe to ensure supply continuity to its operations worldwide while maintaining compliance with applicable sanctions.

Subsequent event

Restart of Polokwane facility        

In October 2022, the company announced the intention to restart its 55,000-ton silicon metal facility in Polokwane, South Africa. The decision to restart the Polokwane facility was made as part of Ferroglobe’s strategic plan to increase its capacity of silicon metal to address strong market demand. The Polokwane plant will enable the Company to add capacity that is lower cost and strategically located, optimizing its asset footprint, and providing flexibility in addressing the volatile energy markets in Europe.

The Polokwane facility provides a lower-cost source of silicon metal that is driven by competitive energy rates, an efficient asset base and a strategic location that can serve customers in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. Ferroglobe expects to begin production of the three-furnace operation by the end of November 2022, with initial production of approximately 1,150 metric tons per month, gradually ramping up to approximately 3,750 metric tons per month by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

(1)  On January 25, 2022, the Ministry opened a hearing to decide on reimbursement of the loan. The company presented its allegations on February 15, 2022. Based on those allegations, the reimbursement procedure has been suspended and a new final report is expected to be made by the Ministry by the end of 2022 ending the administrative procedure and establishing the definitive amount of the partial reimbursement to be made. However, for accounting purposes the entire loan was considered short-term
(2)  In 2021 we disaggregated “Other liabilities” into an additional line to the balance sheet “Other obligations“ to separately present certain contractual obligations whose nature and function differs from other items presented in the “Other liabilities line”, so as to allow a better understanding of the Company´s financial position.
