AMG Critical Materials N.V. ("AMG" or "the Company") is a global leader in critical materials, operating at the intersection of sustainability, electrification, and advanced industrial applications. The Company produces specialty metals, mineral products, and high-performance vacuum furnace systems, serving transportation, infrastructure, energy, aerospace, and specialty chemicals markets. AMG operates three wholly owned business segments: AMG Lithium, AMG Vanadium, and AMG Technologies.
AMG Lithium spans the full value chain from resource extraction to advanced battery materials. In Brazil, AMG has expanded spodumene production at its Mibra mine, strengthening its low-cost, secure raw material base. AMG Lithium GmbH is in the process of developing Europe's first battery-grade lithium hydroxide refinery in Bitterfeld, Germany. This facility establishes AMG as a premier supplier to the European cathode materials market, directly supporting the growth of electric mobility and stationary energy storage. By integrating mining, refining, and advanced processing, AMG Lithium plays a pivotal role in reducing the CO₂ footprint of both suppliers and customers.
The Vanadium segment encompasses AMG's vanadium, titanium, and chrome businesses and is the global leader in recycling vanadium from oil refining residues. AMG Vanadium operates in two facilities in Ohio, making it the largest ferrovanadium producer in North America and the world's largest recycler of refinery catalysts and residues. Complementing this, AMG Titanium in Germany manufactures advanced master alloys and coating materials, including titanium aluminides for turbine blades that improve efficiency and reduce emissions in aerospace engines. AMG Chrome in the United Kingdom produces highpurity chromium metal for stainless steel, superalloy, and aerospace applications. International growth is anchored by Shell & AMG Recycling B.V., which is developing a circular "Supercenter" in Saudi Arabia. This facility will process vanadium ash, recycle spent catalysts, produce fresh catalysts, and enable vanadium battery manufacturing.
AMG Technologies is the established global leader in advanced metallurgy and vacuum furnace systems, serving industries that require materials capable of withstanding extreme stress and heat, with aerospace engines as a primary market. AMG Engineering in Hanau, Germany is the world market leader in vacuum metallurgy and heat treatment systems, providing both equipment and engineering services worldwide. The segment also includes the LIVA Power Management Systems in Frankfurt, which develops hybrid energy storage systems that enhance industrial power management, reduce costs, and lower emissions. AMG Graphite, with operations in Germany, Sri Lanka, and China, produces high-purity natural graphite for industrial applications, while AMG Antimony in France manufactures antimony trioxide for flame retardants. In addition, NewMOX SAS is advancing AMG's entry into the nuclear fuel market, further diversifying the segment's strategic scope.
Together, AMG's three business segments form a balanced portfolio of operations aligned with global decarbonization and resource-efficiency trends. These activities are supported by approximately 3,700 employees at June 30, 2025 (2024: approximately 3,600), By integrating mining, refining, recycling, and advanced engineering capabilities, AMG reinforces its leadership in critical materials and provides sustainable solutions for its customers.
AMG Lithium had lower revenue of \$69 million during the first half of 2025 compared to \$80 million in the first half of 2024 primarily due to a decline in lithium market prices and in lithium concentrate volumes, partially offset by increased tantalum sales prices. The decrease in lithium concentrate volumes was mainly driven by the failure 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.
AMG Vanadium had lower revenue of \$315 million during the first half of 2025 compared to \$333 million in the first half of 2024 primarily due to lower volumes of ferrovanadium and titanium alloys. The ferrovanadium decline was driven by production issues from our refinery suppliers, and the titanium alloy decline was due to lower customer orders. These lower volumes were partially offset by increased sales prices in ferrovanadium and chrome metal.
AMG Technologies' revenue increased to \$443 million in the first half of 2025 from \$309 million in the first half of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher antimony sales prices in the current period. Order backlog was \$391 million as of June 30, 2025. The Company signed \$158 million in new orders during the first half of 2025, representing a 1.10x book to bill ratio. The first half of 2025 benefited from strong orders of induction furnaces and turbine blade coating furnaces.
AMG's selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2025 were \$108 million compared to \$90 million for the first half of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in the current period of 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 a non-recurring executive retirement benefit expense.
AMG's net finance costs were \$24 million in the first half of 2025 compared to \$22 million in the first half of 2024. This increase was mainly driven by higher non-cash, intercompany foreign exchange revaluation losses in the first half of 2025 (due to a weakening of the US dollar relative the Euro), as well as a decrease in interest income.
AMG recorded an income tax expense of \$8 million in first half of 2025, compared to \$14 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a deferred tax benefit driven by the appreciation of the Brazilian real relative to the US dollar during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Fluctuations in the Brazilian real exchange rate impact the valuation of the Company's net deferred tax positions in Brazil. This deferred tax benefit offset higher underlying tax expense related to improved profitability, primarily from AMG's Antimony operations, as well as deferred tax expenses related to unabsorbed losses. AMG paid taxes of \$16 million in the first half 2025, compared to \$12 million in the first half of 2024, which was also driven by higher tax payments in the Antimony business.
Net profit attributable to shareholders for the first half of 2025 of \$17 million compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of \$27 million in the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by higher profitability in AMG Antimony as noted above.
Cash from operating activities was \$2 million in the first half of 2025 compared to cash used in operating activities of \$24 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher net profit due to the factors noted above.
AMG finished the first half of 2025 with \$502 million of net debt (December 31, 2024: \$468 million). Net debt is defined as our senior secured debt, municipal bond and other short-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The increase in net debt was primarily related to investing cash flows attributable to capital expenditures for our growth projects and operating cash flows utilized for investments in working capital.
AMG continued to maintain a strong balance sheet and adequate sources of liquidity during the year. As of June 30, 2025, AMG had \$262 million of unrestricted cash and total liquidity of \$462 million. With this cash on hand, AMG believes it can fully fund its current approved strategic projects.
Management's objectives consistently focus on delivering positive operational results as well as generating cash to be able to support expansion, research and development, and vertical integration strategies. These objectives are measured by the Company primarily using adjusted EBITDA and cash from operating activities. EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest and taxes excluding restructuring, asset impairment, inventory cost adjustments, environmental provisions, exceptional legal expenses, equity-settled share-based payments, strategic project expenses, and other exceptional items) is a measure used by management as a proxy for operating profit. Short-term (i.e., annual) executive incentive plans have targets comprised of adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations, in addition to health, safety, environmental, and strategic targets.
AMG achieved an adjusted EBITDA of \$129 million in the first half of 2025 compared to \$70 million in the first half of 2024 primarily due to higher profitability in Antimony as noted above.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined performance measure in IFRS Standards. The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled performance measures and disclosures by other entities. The following table shows a reconciliation of the Company's net profit (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.

(1) The Company is in the initial development and ramp-up phases for several strategic expansion projects, including the joint venture with Shell, the LIVA Battery System, and the lithium expansion in Germany, which incurred project expenses during the period but are not yet operational. AMG is adjusting EBITDA for these exceptional charges.
In our 2024 Annual Report, we have described certain risk categories and risk factors which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results. These risks include the liquidity and cash flow, supply chain disruptions, global recession and inflation, metal and mineral price volatility, mining, customer, supply, project execution, legal and regulatory, climate change, currency, competition, product quality, safety and liability, financing, business interruption and information technology. During the first half of 2025, the global markets have experienced risk related to global trade policy. Many countries across the world have recently implemented, or are considering implementing, tariffs to protect domestic industrial and/or manufacturing activity. There was no significant impact on the financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to these factors. The future consequences of these economic uncertainties cannot currently be estimated with any accuracy. Apart from these factors, the Company believes that the risks identified for the first half of 2025 are in line with the risks that AMG presented in its 2024 Annual Report.
Additional risks currently not known to us, or currently believed not to be material, could ultimately have a material impact on our business, objectives, revenues, income, assets, liquidity, or capital resources.
An adjusted EBITDA of \$129 million represents a very strong first half of 2025 despite low lithium and vanadium prices. 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. From today's perspective, we estimate the temporary tailwind from selling low-priced antimony inventories at more than \$50 million for the full year 2025. Based on that and considering uncertain economic and market conditions globally, we increase our adjusted EBITDA outlook from "\$170 million, or more, in 2025" to "200 million, or more, in 2025."
AMG anticipates the Company will maintain an overall consistent level of staffing which was approximately 3,700 at June 30, 2025. While there have been increases in hiring associated with the ramp-up of the vanadium and lithium expansion projects, the growth of the LIVA business as well as hiring to support the aerospace recovery in our Engineering business, these increases have been offset by decreases as a result of our cost reduction and efficiency programs.
Capital expenditures for 2025 are targeted to be between \$75 million and \$100 million mainly driven by the commissioning of our lithium hydroxide plant in Germany, construction related to increased tantalum capacity in Brazil and the establishment of an aluminothermic production facility to manufacture chrome metal in the United States. AMG is at the end of a period of significant capital intensity that positions us for strong profitability as market prices improve. Our current liquidity is \$462 million and can fully fund all approved capital expansion projects.

AMG Critical Materials N.V. (herein referred to as "the Company", "AMG NV" or "AMG") is domiciled in the Netherlands. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements") as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group"). The Group is primarily involved in the supply of critical materials, producing highly engineered specialty metals and mineral products and providing related vacuum furnace systems and services (see notes 5 and 6).
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("last annual financial statements"). They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Management Board of AMG on September 25, 2025.
In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. While the Company has cyclical elements in its product mix, the operations of the Company are not subject to seasonal variations.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. A number of new standards are effective from January 1, 2025, but they do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.
The Company's organizational structure contains three reportable segments: AMG Lithium, AMG Vanadium and AMG Technologies. The following tables present revenue and profit information for the Company's reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. AMG headquarters costs and assets are allocated thirty-four percent to AMG Lithium, thirty-three percent to AMG Vanadium and thirty-three percent to AMG Technologies for the six months ended 2025 and 2024 based on an estimation of services provided to the reportable segments.

The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts | 134,865 | 124,683 |
| Gross amount due from customers for contract work | 34,512 | 45,116 |
| Advance payments | 140,003 | 124,079 |
| Deferred revenue | 23,922 | 25,995 |
The contract assets primarily relate to the Company's rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date for furnace construction contracts. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Company issues an invoice to the customer. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers. The advanced payments balance above pertains to consideration received for furnace construction contracts. The remaining contract liabilities pertain to prepayments received from customers for spodumene sale contracts, spent catalyst processing fee contracts, and titanium aluminide contracts and are included in the deferred revenue balance.
The Company recognized revenues of \$82,488 (2024: \$77,641) that were included in the balance of contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024. There were \$3,849 (2024: \$7,302) of revenues recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2025 that pertained to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.

The June 30, 2025 effective tax rate was impacted by pre-tax losses and related carryforwards of \$41,076, for which tax benefits could not be recorded due to the ongoing loss positions in the respective jurisdictions where the losses have occurred. Also, during the period ended June 30, 2025, the net recognized deferred tax assets (liabilities) were adjusted to reflect changes in currency rates in Brazil. The impact of the currency rates in Brazil was a decrease to income tax expense of \$9,801.
The June 30, 2024 effective tax rate was impacted by pre-tax losses and related carryforwards of \$39,469 for which tax benefits could not be recorded due to the ongoing loss positions in the respective jurisdictions where the losses have occurred. The impact of the currency rates in Brazil was an increase to tax expense of \$8,279.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") has published the Pillar Two model rules which adopt a global minimum tax of 15% for multinational enterprises with average revenue in excess of Euro 750 million. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate (including the Netherlands), enacted legislation consistent with one or more of the OECD Pillar Two model rules effective in 2024. The model rules include minimum domestic top-up taxes, income inclusion rules and undertaxed profit rules, all aimed to ensure that multinational corporations pay a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which they operate. The Pillar Two model rules did not materially impact our annual effective tax rate in the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. However, we are continuing to evaluate the Pillar Two model rules and related country-level legislation and the potential impact on future periods.
AMG applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when incurred, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, assets with a cost of \$30,842 (2024: \$50,603) were acquired. Additionally, the property, plant and equipment in accounts payable decreased \$185 (2024: decreased \$1,722).
The Company capitalized borrowing costs of \$7,802 (2024: \$7,666) during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The capitalized borrowing costs in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 primarily related to the commissioning of the lithium hydroxide plant and construction of the vanadium electrolyte plant in our German subsidiaries.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, and all other intangible assets are tested when circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. No impairment tests were deemed necessary as there were no indicators of impairment at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, intangible assets with a cost of \$1,062 (2024: \$15,550) were capitalized. Approximately nil (2024: \$15,000) pertains to intellectual property acquired by our Vanadium and LIVA businesses, of which \$7,006 is recorded under accruals and other liabilities on the balance sheet at period end (2024: \$8,640).
As of June 30, 2025, inventory increased to \$403,238 (December 31, 2024: \$304,108) mainly driven by an increase in the price of antimony.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Group wrote down its inventory by \$13,760 (2024: \$7,916). This is primarily the result of \$8,083 of inventory cost adjustments associated with declining prices, primarily in our Lithium business. The remaining \$5,677 of inventory write downs was primarily driven by abnormal costs associated with the Brazil SP1+ expansion and commissioning. These write-downs were included in cost of sales.
Dividends of \$7,234 (2024: \$6,968) or €0.20 (2024: €0.20) per share were declared and paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, dividends of \$362 declared in 2024 were paid by our Brazilian subsidiary to its non-controlling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2025 (2024: \$1,038 of dividends declared in 2023 and paid in 2024).
On March 12, 2025, the Company completed the repurchase of a 40% equity interest in AMG Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH ("AMG Graphite"). The purchase consideration was \$29,003, of which \$1,281 was paid in cash with the remaining consideration being financed through a vendor loan. Refer to footnote 13 for additional information regarding the loan. As a result, non-controlling interest decreased by \$34,752. The difference between the purchase consideration and the value of the non-controlling interest resulted in a gain of \$5,749 recorded to retained earnings in accordance with IFRS 10.
The table below includes loans and borrowings for the six months ending June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| 2025 | 2024 661,831 |

On April 15, 2024, AMG entered into a new \$100,000 incremental term loan, structured as a fungible add-on to the existing \$350,000, 7-year senior secured term loan B facility ("term loan"). The \$100,000 incremental term loan has the same pricing, terms and 2028 maturity as the existing \$350 million term loan. AMG will use the proceeds of the new incremental term loan for general corporate purposes and lithium resource development.
AMG's net finance costs were \$23,744 for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to \$22,070 in the first half of 2024. This increase was mainly driven by higher non-cash, intercompany foreign exchange revaluation losses in the first half of 2025 (due to a weakening of the US dollar relative the Euro), as well as a decrease in interest income.
As of June 30, 2025, other non-current liabilities increased to \$37,220 (December 31, 2024: \$7,384). The increase was primarily driven by the vendor loan related to the Company's purchase of non-controlling interest. Refer to footnote 11 for additional detail regarding this transaction. The vendor loan is non-interest bearing and has a term of three years from the date of the transaction. The Company has the option to pay in the form of the Company's ordinary shares or in cash at any point within the three-year term at the Company's discretion. The loan was initially recognized at fair value of \$27,722 in accordance with IFRS 9 and classified as a non-current liability under IAS 1. It is subsequently measured using the effective interest method, with a value of \$28,620 as of June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded \$898 of interest expense within finance costs in the statement of income.
In May 2021, the shareholders of the Company approved the Company's Remuneration Policy and long-term incentive program at the Annual General Meeting. Under the terms of the Remuneration Policy, all awards for members of the Management Board were issued in the form of performance share units ("PSU's"). The PSU's feature a three-year service period and also require an additional two-year holding period subsequent to vesting in line with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The PSU's have a market performance vesting condition based upon the Company's total shareholder return relative to a global peer group. The PSU's do not vest for performance below the 50th percentile. The Company also established a restricted share unit ("RSU") plan as an additional compensation tool for the Company's employees, which is discussed in detail below.
Equity-settled stock options were discontinued as a result of the Company's 2021 Remuneration Policy. As such, there were no share options issued for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. However, stock options that were issued under the previous Remuneration Policy remain outstanding.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded nil (2024: \$10) of expense related to stock options. There were nil (2024: nil) vested stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 508,864 (2024: 392,114) performance share units. The fair value of the PSU's granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was calculated as €15.58 (2024: €20.14) using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company recorded expense of \$4,280 (2024: \$2,547) related to the outstanding PSU's in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Both the 2022 and 2021 PSU awards did not vest based on performance conditions, thus no treasury shares were reissued during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to PSU awards.
The RSU plan provides share-based payments as a component of compensation to senior employees of the Company. RSU's granted to each employee will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The vesting is subject only to service conditions provided that the employee has remained continuously in the employment of the Company or a Group Company until the vesting date. In the event that the Supervisory Board has approved to pay-out any dividends to shareholders of the Company, the equivalent of the cash amount of the dividend will be converted to incremental RSU's to be awarded upon the vesting date to employees. As these awards will be equity-settled, the balance is recorded in equity rather than as a liability in accordance with IFRS 2. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, no RSU awards were granted to employees, as all employees are currently under the PSU long-term incentive program. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company re-issued 77,430 (2024: 78,278) treasury shares as settlement of the awards. The Company recorded expense of \$148 (2024: \$482) related to the outstanding RSU's in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2025. The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the price that would be received to sell the instrument in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values are consistent with those used in the year ended December 31, 2024.

For cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade payables, and short-term bank debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and therefore, fair value information is not included in the tables above. The fair value of the Company's term loan B was \$433,197 (December 31, 2024: \$437,636) based on quoted prices at June 30, 2025. The Company's municipal bonds are fixed rate borrowings, and the fair value of those bonds was \$272,007 (December 31, 2024: \$285,979) based on quoted prices at June 30, 2025. The fair value of the term loan and municipal bonds is based on quoted prices for similar securities adjusted for the prevailing market-based yields and are deemed to be Level 2 inputs. The remaining loans and borrowings primarily maintain a floating interest rate and approximate fair value.
There were no transfers of financial instruments between Levels 1 and 2 for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
There were also no transfers of financial instruments out of Level 3 for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts with two financial institutions in connection with the execution of its credit facility. The contracts have a notional value equivalent to the total balance of the term loan B. The contracts swap the variable interest payments on the term loan B to fixed payments of interest. The interest rate swaps were executed so that the Company could hedge its exposure to changes in the benchmark interest rate on the term loan B facility. The Company has designated the interest rate swaps as highly effective cash flow hedges. The amount of gains related to the interest rate hedges included in equity was \$7,746 as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: \$14,456). There was no ineffectiveness for contracts designated as cash flow hedges during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned an 11.3% (December 31, 2024: 11.3%) interest in a former customer, Global Advanced Metals Pty LTD. The investment is being designated as a financial instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income because the Company has not gained significant influence.
