Insights
TL;DR: Sequential recovery but guidance pull joins lingering loss; overall neutral.
QoQ turnaround in EBITDA and margin demonstrates meaningful operating leverage once volumes rebound, especially after restarting French furnaces. Cash remains adequate and capital returns continue, offering shareholder friendliness. However, YoY comps are still sharply negative, free cash flow is flat, net cash shrank and management has pulled guidance—highlighting limited visibility and pricing pressure from Chinese imports. The stock may trade range-bound until policy outcomes and demand trends firm up.
TL;DR: Trade actions create upside option, but 2025 remains challenged.
U.S. antidumping duties and forthcoming EU safeguards are already lifting ferrosilicon pricing and could materially tighten supply by 2026—good news for Ferroglobe’s diversified smelting footprint. Q2 shipment surges show the company can quickly capture volume when markets allow. Yet withdrawing guidance underscores uncertainty in Europe, where cheap Chinese silicon metal still suppresses margins. Investors should watch regulatory timelines and energy-price trends; both remain critical swing factors.

Dr. Marco Levi, Ferroglobe’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While the second quarter was marked by significant external challenges, including aggressive silicon metal imports into Europe from China and broader geopolitical uncertainty, we remain focused on managing what we can control. We are encouraged by the early benefits that we are seeing from U.S. trade actions, and we believe upcoming decisions in both the U.S. and the EU could provide meaningful support for fair competition and improved pricing. As we look ahead to 2026, we expect these tailwinds, along with disciplined execution and prudent capital allocation, to position Ferroglobe for stronger performance and long-term value creation for our shareholders,” concluded Dr. Levi.
Consolidated Sales
In the second quarter of 2025, Ferroglobe reported sales of $386.9 million, an increase of 25.9% over the prior quarter and a decrease of 14.2% from the comparable prior year period. This increase compared to the prior quarter was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes across our portfolio products and higher pricing in silicon metal and manganese-based alloys, partially offset by lower pricing in silicon-based alloys. Sales of silicon metal, silicon-based alloys and manganese-based alloys increased by $25.5 million, $20.8 million and $31.7 million, respectively, compared with the prior quarter.

Beatriz García-Cos, Ferroglobe’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We delivered a strong sequential rebound in adjusted EBITDA, driven by volume growth and margin expansion across our portfolio of products. Despite persistent market volatility and regulatory uncertainty, we maintained a solid cash position of $135.5 million and ended the quarter in a net cash position for the sixth consecutive quarter. We continue to prioritize disciplined capital allocation, balancing investments with shareholder returns. As we move into the second half of the year, we remain focused on operational efficiency, working capital optimization, and maintaining a strong liquidity profile.”

| NASDAQ: GSM 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," “should," "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, the impacts of the Ukraine-Russia conflict; increases in energy prices, disruptions in the supply of power and changes in governmental regulation of the power sector and the effect on costs of production; the outcomes of pending or potential litigation; operating costs, customer losses and business disruptions (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) that may be greater than expected; the retention of certain key employees; the current and anticipated competitive landscape; our ability to adapt products and services to changes in technology or the marketplace; our ability to maintain and grow relationships with customers and clients; the historic cyclicality of the metals industry and the attendant swings in market price and demand; the availability of raw materials and transportation; costs associated with labor disputes and stoppages; our ability to maintain our liquidity and to generate sufficient cash to service indebtedness; the integration and development of prior and future acquisitions; the availability and cost of maintaining adequate levels of insurance; our ability to protect trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual property; equipment failures, delays in deliveries or catastrophic loss at any of our manufacturing facilities, which may not be covered under any insurance policy; exchange rate fluctuations; changes in laws protecting U.S., Canadian and European Union companies from unfair foreign competition (including antidumping and countervailing duty orders and laws) or the measures currently in place or expected to be imposed under those laws; compliance with, or potential liability under, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations (and changes in such laws and regulations, including in their enforcement or interpretation); risks from international operations, such as foreign exchange fluctuations, tariffs, duties and other taxation, inflation, increased costs, political risks and our ability to maintain and increase business in international markets; risks associated with mining operations, metallurgical smelting and other manufacturing activities; our ability to manage price and operational risks including industrial accidents and natural disasters; our ability to acquire or renew permits and approvals; potential losses due to unanticipated cancellations of service contracts; risks associated with potential unionization of employees or work stoppages that could adversely affect our operations; changes in tax laws (including under applicable tax treaties) and regulations or to the interpretation of such tax laws or regulations by governmental authorities; changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; uncertainties and challenges surrounding the implementation and development of new technologies; risks related to potential cybersecurity breaches; risks related to our capital structure; risks related to our ordinary shares; our foreign private issuer status, the loss of which would require us to comply with the Exchange Act’s domestic reporting regime, and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses; our incorporation in the United Kingdom, the laws of which govern our corporate affairs and may differ from those applicable to companies incorporated in the U.S.; and our failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. 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 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. EBITDA, 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 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 5, 2025 accompanying this presentation, which is incorporated by reference herein. |
