Solid Q2/22 results but uncertainties have intensified
Sales volume came in at 457kt in Q2/22 which is 9.2% below Q2/21 due to missing volume from the stoppage of the steel mill in Ugine and lower demand from automotive
Order book decreased to 590kt compared to 726kt in Q1/22 reflecting lower market demand as well as hesitancy of customers to place new orders before the summer break
Average sales price at 2,442 EUR/t increased versus 2,145 EUR/t in Q1/22 and 1,621 in Q2/21 reflecting continued price increases for raw material and energy, supported by base price increases
Adjusted EBITDA at EUR 96.0 mn, an increase by EUR 30.6 mn compared to Q2/21 and EUR 21.0 mn versus Q1/21 driven by improved margins
NWC increased from EUR 1,192 mn in Q1/22 to EUR 1,307 mn in Q2/22 mainly driven by a higher valuation of inventories
Free Cash Flow at EUR -66.0 mn in Q2/22 (EUR - 66.6 mn in Q2/21) despite good operating result due to additional investment in net working capital
Equity increased by EUR 146 mn from EUR 448.7 mn (equity ratio 20.1%) at year-end 2021 to EUR 594.7 (21.6%), mainly due to the strong operational result and positive valuation effects from pension obligation
Net debt at EUR 936 mn in Q2/22 from EUR 721 mn in Q4/21 driven by negative free cash flow
