Interpipe releases its report on operations for December 2021

Interpipe, a global producer of steel pipes and railway products, has released (via Interpipe Holdings Plc) its monthly report on operations for December 2021.

Highlights

The Company's trading performance in December 2021 was sound in both pipe and railway product segments having outperformed strong results in November with robust m-o-m growth rates

Overall pipe product salesrose by 22.9% m-o-m, ending the year with a 28.1% y-o-y growth

OCTG salessurged by 69.5% m-o-m on the back of intensified deliveries to JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya (UGV - the subsidiary of Naftogaz). OCTG total sales for 2021 boosted more than twofold (gained 129.8% y-o-y)

Linepipe sales volumeinched down by 1.7% m-o-m - growth of sales in the LATAM, MENA and CIS regions almost off-set the cool off in sales to Europe and the US after the strong performance in November. Total sales volume for 2021 grew by 13.4% y-o-yMechanical pipe salesdecelerated by 5.4% m-o-m. However, sales to the CIS region were the highest since March 2021. For the 12 months 2021 sales surged by 34.7% y-o-yWelded pipe salesgained 12.1% m-o-m on the back of restocking activity. Total sales for 2021 slumped by 26.1% y-o-y affected by hefty market prices for HRC in H1 2021

Sales volume of railway productsexceeded 16K tons in December 2021 (up by 14.3% m-o-m) on the back a robust demand from both wagon manufactures and after-market off- takers in the CIS region

As a result of 2021, Interpipe succeeded in reduction of the negative impact of the embargo on imports of Ukrainian railway products in the Russian Federation imposed in February 2021 - sales of railway products slid just by 9.6% y-o-y (174K tons vs 192.5K tons in 2020)

25.5% y-o-y growth in sales of wheelsets in 2021 has overarched the Company's strategy towards expanding the share of high-value products in its product mix
