AMG Reports Strong Third Quarter 2025 Results

Amsterdam, 5 November 2025 (Regulated Information) --- AMG Critical Materials N.V. (“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) reports third quarter 2025 revenue of $435 million, a 22% increase compared to the third quarter 2024 revenue of $356 million. AMG achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $64 million, a 58% increase compared to the third quarter of 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $40 million, driven primarily by the AMG Technologies segment.

Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, said, “Our third quarter performance remained strong, driven by continued momentum in AMG Technologies with AMG Engineering’s order backlog, as well as high profitability in AMG Antimony. Additionally, we benefited from a $5 million compensation settlement at AMG Vanadium for an equipment failure related to our growth investment in Zanesville. While the indirect effects of increased tariffs and trade barriers on our business remain difficult to assess, we remain focused on the elements within our control—executing operationally, strengthening our balance sheet, and streamlining our portfolio. The divestment of our natural graphite business represents a key step in this strategy, and we expect the transaction to close later this year.

The current low-price environment in our two main products, lithium and vanadium, continues to constrain profitability and cash generation. However, we remain actively engaged in developing new business opportunities driven by the accelerating trend toward onshoring critical materials production. Combined with the inevitable recovery of the lithium and vanadium markets, these initiatives position AMG well for sustained long-term value creation. We look forward to sharing further updates in the coming quarters.

We are currently processing high-purity chrome metal in our New Castle, PA plant, and starting in the second quarter of 2026 we will expand production, backwards integrate and become the only chrome metal producer in the United States. We will continue to establish critical material processing facilities in the US, and are targeting niobium metal and antimony oxide. We will also expand our US titanium alloys capacity to keep up with our customer’s increasing demand for aerospace applications. And it bears noting that in addition to these expansions, our Ohio spent catalyst recycling facility is the only ferrovanadium producer in the US.”

Operational Review

AMG Lithium

AMG Lithium’s revenue decreased 33% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The decline was primarily driven by an 8% reduction in lithium market prices, a 32% decrease in lithium concentrate sales volumes, and a 64% decrease in tantalum sales volumes due to shipping delays that will be reversed in the fourth quarter. These impacts were partially offset by higher average tantalum sales prices versus the third quarter of 2024.

The decrease in lithium concentrate volumes was mainly driven by the continued effect of the failure during the second quarter of 2025 of one piece of equipment associated with our expansion project. We are addressing the issue and are currently operating at 110 thousand tons of production per year.

SG&A expenses of $14 million during the third quarter of 2025 were 15% higher than in the same period of 2024, mainly driven by the increase in personnel costs related to the commissioning and ramp-up of the lithium hydroxide refinery and higher professional fees.

The third quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA decreased 72% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the lower volumes in the current quarter and the decline in lithium prices as noted above, partially offset by higher average tantalum sales prices.

During the third quarter of 2025, a total of 15,409 dry metric tons (“dmt”) of lithium concentrates were sold, 16% more than the 13,278 dmt in the second quarter of 2025, but 32% less than the 22,731 dmt in the third quarter of 2024. Volumes were negatively impacted in the current quarter by the technical issues noted above.

The average realized sales price was $530/dmt CIF China for the quarter, and the average cost per ton was $420/dmt CIF China. The average cost per ton decreased from $450/dmt in the third quarter 2024 due to the lower cost of mining activities in the current quarter.

AMG Vanadium

AMG Vanadium’s revenue for the third quarter of 2025 increased by 2%, to $154 million, due primarily to increased sales prices in ferrovanadium and chrome metal. These increased sales prices were partially offset by lower volumes of ferrovanadium driven by production issues from our refinery suppliers.

Adjusted gross profit of $26 million in the third quarter of 2025 was 61% higher than the same period in 2024. This was largely due to the lower inventory cost adjustments in the current quarter, as well as a compensation payment of $5 million for an equipment failure related to our growth investment in Zanesville.

SG&A expenses of $17 million in the third quarter of 2025 were 25% higher than in the third quarter of 2024, largely driven by higher professional fees and additional personnel in the current period relating to the chrome expansion project.

The third quarter of 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $19 million was 81% higher than the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to the higher sales prices noted above as well as the Zanesville compensation payment of $5 million.

AMG Technologies

AMG Technologies' third quarter 2025 revenue increased by $92 million, or 59%, compared to the same period in 2024. This improvement was driven largely by higher antimony sales prices in the current quarter as well as by strong sales in Engineering of turbine blade coating furnaces.

SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2025 of $25 million were 14% higher than in the third quarter of 2024. This was due to additional personnel at AMG LIVA and AMG Engineering corresponding to the increased business development within those units, as well as higher personnel costs at AMG Antimony related to that unit’s increased sales activity.

AMG Technologies’ adjusted EBITDA was $41 million during the third quarter, more than double the $19 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was due to higher profitability in AMG Antimony and AMG Engineering.

AMG Engineering signed $87 million in new orders during the third quarter of 2025, representing a 0.92x book to bill ratio, mainly driven by strong orders of induction furnaces. AMG Engineering achieved an order backlog of $402 million as of September 30, 2025.

AMG Silicon’s operations continue to be halted due to high energy prices in Germany and unfavorable markets. Due to this situation, the profitability of the business is immaterial and excluded from adjusted EBITDA during this period of abnormal operations.

Financial Review

Tax

AMG recorded an income tax expense of $7 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2 million in the same period in 2024. The tax expense in the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by strong profitability in the quarter as well as tax expense from unabsorbed losses, partially offset by a Brazilian deferred tax benefit related to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real.

Cash tax payments totaled $4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $5 million in the third quarter or 2024. The decrease reflects a timing difference in tax settlements, with 2025 payments primarily attributable to the continued strong performance of AMG Antimony in France.

Exceptional Items - Adjusted Gross Profit

AMG’s third quarter 2025 and 2024 adjusted gross profit includes exceptional items, which are included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA as shown in the summary below:

Exceptional items included in adjusted gross profit

AMG had a $3 million expense during the third quarter of 2025 related to AMG Silicon’s partial closure, which has been excluded from the calculation of adjusted gross profit.

SG&A

AMG’s third quarter 2025 SG&A expenses of $56 million were 18% higher than in the third quarter of 2024. This variance was primarily driven by the increase in headcount in our Lithium, Chrome, Engineering, and LIVA businesses associated with our strategic expansion projects, higher personnel costs at AMG Antimony related to that unit’s increased sales activity, and higher professional fees.

Liquidity

AMG continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and adequate sources of liquidity during the third quarter. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $220 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $199 million available on its revolving credit facility. As such, AMG had $419 million of total liquidity as of September 30, 2025. In July, to preserve our liquidity and reduce refinancing risk, AMG executed a maturity extension on our $200 million revolving credit facility. The revolver maturity date was extended from November 2026 to August 2028 with terms similar to the original agreement. Our term loan maturity date of November 2028 remains unchanged.

Net Finance Costs

AMG’s third quarter 2025 net finance cost was $14 million, compared to $8 million in the third quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in interest income as well as increased quarter over quarter non-cash intercompany foreign exchange losses from a weaker EUR/USD exchange rate.

Outlook

The AMG Technologies segment continues to perform particularly well, driven by a very high order backlog in AMG Engineering and by high profitability in AMG Antimony. We update our estimate for the temporary tailwind from selling low-priced antimony inventories from more than $50 million to more than $70 million for the full year 2025. Based on that, we increase our adjusted EBITDA outlook from “200 million, or more” to “$220 million, or more, in 2025.”
