This presentation includes Alternative Performance Measures (APM), including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, EBIT, EBIT margin, net debt and capital expenditures which are not measures of liquidity or financial performance under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). EBITDA is defined as operating profit for the period (i.e. EBIT) before the impact of amortisation, depreciation, impairment and provisions. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA divided by revenue. EBIT is defined as Operating profit for the year. The Company uses EBIT to monitor its financial return after both operating expenses and a charge representing the cost of usage of both its property, plant and equipment and definite-life intangible assets. EBIT margin is defined as EBIT as a percentage of revenue. These non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to results from operating activities, cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities, or other financial measures of Befesa's results of operations or liquidity derived in accordance with IFRS. Befesa believes that the APM included in this report are useful measures of its performance and liquidity. Other companies, including those in the industry in which Befesa operates, may calculate similarly titled financial measures differently than Befesa does. Because all companies do not calculate these financial measures in the same manner, Befesa's presentation of such financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. These APM are not audited.

EAF dust throughput 156kt (+5% yoy) driven by Turkey ▪ Salt slags & SPL recycled 106kt (-15% yoy) due to ▪ COVID-19 pandemic lowering demand from automotive sector and production rates |
|---|---|
| COVID-19 depressed metal prices main driver of Q2 earnings decrease: - Zinc LME Q2 €1,780; -28% yoy, including TC at \$300/t vs \$245/t '19 combined -37%(1) yoy price impact - Alu Alloy FMB Q2 €1,282; -8% yoy |
▪ EBITDA at €22m (-41% / €-15m yoy) mainly driven by: (-) Unfavourable metal prices: Zinc LME at €1,780/t (-28% yoy) Zinc TC settled at \$300/t (vs. \$245/t in 2019) Alu alloy FMB at €1,282/t (-8% yoy) (-) Zinc hedges: €2,225/t in Q2'20 (vs. €2,315/t in Q2'19) (-) Aluminium Salt Slags volumes (combined -19% yoy) Partially offset by: (+) EAF dust throughput up +5% yoy (Turkey expansion) |
| Continued strong liquidity of ~€185m; Cash at €107m + €75m RCF |
▪ Continued high ~€185m unused liquidity; Solid cash at €107m and €75m RCF undrawn; Leverage at x3.1 ▪ Operating cash flow at €65m LTM Q2 |

(1) In 2020, the \$300 TC per tonne of WOX, divided by ~68% zinc content in WOX and divided by 85% zinc payable after 15% free-metal deduction, is equivalent to ~\$519 per tonne of zinc payable; Similarly, in 2019, the \$245 TC per tonne of WOX is equivalent to ~\$424 per tonne of zinc payable.
BEFESA Consolidated Key Financials
H1 EBITDA as expected at €55m (-31% yoy) impacted by lower metal prices; Partially offset by higher EAF dust throughput (Turkey expansion)

Highlights
- (+) EAF dust throughput +5% higher yoy (Turkey expansion) Offset by:
- (-) Alu salt slags volumes down (combined -19% yoy) due to lower demand (COVID-19) & planned maintenance downtimes
- (-) Lower market prices yoy: Zinc LME price -28% (Q2'20: €1,780/t; Q2'19: €2,459/t); Unfavourable zinc TC for 2020 at ~\$300/t (2019: \$245/t) Alu alloy FMB price -8% (Q2'20: €1,282/t; Q2'19: €1,390/t)

- (-) Lower zinc hedging prices (~ €-2);
- (-) Lower salt slags & SPL volumes (~ €-2)
- (-) Lower secondary aluminium volumes (~ €-1)
Partially offset by:

Q2 EBITDA at €19m (-32% yoy): Driven by depressed zinc prices (COVID-19); Partially offset by higher EAF dust throughput (Turkey expansion)

Highlights
- Q2 revenue down 19% yoy mainly driven by:

- (-) Unfavourable zinc TC at ~\$300/t (vs. \$245/t in ´19) Partially offset by:
- (+) Higher EAF dust throughput (Turkey expansion)
- Q2 EBITDA down €9m / 32% yoy primarily driven by:
- (-) Lower zinc blended prices, ~€-10 (LME €-8; Hedging €-2);
- (-) Unfavourable zinc TC (~€-2.5); Partially offset by:
- (+) Higher EAF dust throughput (~€+2)
