Interim financial report 06/30/25

under IFRS -September 1st 2025– 08:00

Obligation regarding periodical information as a consequence of the European transparency regulations. Statement regarding the information given in this interim financial report over 6 months 06/30/25

Financial results

Campine, Belgian specialty chemicals and metal recycling company, has reported exceptionally strong growth in the first half of 2025. Revenue more than doubled to €384 million, compared with €169 million in the same period last year. EBITDA nearly tripled to €53.4 million, setting a new record for the first six months. This profit increase is largely driven by strong demand for antimony trioxide (ATO) and significant rises in antimony prices.

Results performance per division/segment

Specialty Chemicals division

Market and Operations

Revenue for the Specialty Chemicals division rose to €293 million, four times higher than in 2024 (€74 million). Growth was primarily driven by antimony trioxide sales, with Campine becoming the global market leader following Chinese export restrictions at the end of 2024. The FRMB unit (flame-retardant masterbatches) more than doubled its revenue thanks to the use of ATO, while CrP (PP recycling) achieved a 30% revenue increase, partly due to competitor bankruptcies.

EBITDA in Specialty Chemicals rose from €6.0 million to €36.6 million.

Circular Metals division

Market and Operations

Revenue in the Circular Metals division grew slightly to €114.4 million (+2%). Revenues of the Business Units Lead and Battery Fractions was just below last year's due to lower prices for lead on the LME. The Metals Recovery unit saw revenue increase by more than 50%, driven by higher prices for gold, silver, and antimony.

EBITDA in this division rose from €13.7 million to €16.8 million, supported by lower purchase prices for battery scrap.

Outlook full year 2025

Campine expects a record year, with EBITDA likely exceeding €80 million. CEO De Vos commented: "Forecasting remains challenging in such a volatile market. Changes in Chinese export restrictions or U.S. import regulations could quickly impact results. Nevertheless, 2025 is already shaping up to be an exceptional year."

In Specialty Chemicals, high profitability is expected to continue in the second half, despite a slight global decline in ATO demand due to substitution of ATO as flame retardant. The Circular Metals division continues to benefit from lower battery scrap costs, offsetting lower LME sales prices.

Campine is also awaiting regulatory approval for the acquisition of three French Ecobat factories, with the deal potentially closing in September. This acquisition could further impact the 2025 results.

84% of the turnover of Circular Metals Segment was realised in Europe whereas 48% of the turnover of Specialty Chemicals was achieved in Europe.

Similar to previous years, turnover is recognized on the basis of the INCO terms stated on the invoice. The turnover is not subject to seasonal effects.

6.4.2. Business segments/divisions

The Group structures its business into business units (BU's , which are part of two larger divisions. The turnover is provided to the CODM on a business unit level. However, the performance and allocation of resources is reviewed and decided on the division level. Next to that, the managers reporting to the CODM are also on the level of the division. As a result, two operating segments, called divisions, were identified "Specialty Chemicals" and "Circular Metals". These operating segments are also considered to be the reportable segments.

The divisions are considered to be the IFRS 8 operating segments as the BU's are very intertwined so that all important decisions related to capital and resources are made at the level of the divisions. The main activities of the two segments are respectively:

Specialty Chemicals hosts all businesses which serve end-markets with chemical products and derivates. The manufacturing of antimony trioxide used as flame-retardant, polymerization catalyst and pigment reagent and the production of different types of polymer and plastic masterbatches. The Specialty Chemicals division comprises the business units (BU's) BU Antimony trioxide, BU FR Masterbatches and BU recycled Polymers.

See page 1/2 Market and operations.

The total (external and cross-business unit) turnover of the Specialty Chemicals Division represents a volume of 13 995 ton (06/30/24: 11 329 ton)(+24%). The split between external sales and cross-business unit sales can be found in the table further down in this section.

There are two customers in the Specialty Chemicals division who represent more than 10% of the Group's turnover (17% and 11%).

Circular Metals hosts the businesses in which metals are being recovered from industrial and postconsumer waste streams. The main activity is the manufacturing of lead alloys. To this business is added the growing activity of the recycling of other metals such as antimony and tin. This division comprises the business units (BU's) BU Lead, BU Metals Recovery and BU recycled Batteries.

There are no customers in Circular Metals division who represent more than 10% of the Group's turnover.

The column "unallocated" in the tables below mainly concerns matters related to our corporate activities which cannot be easily allocated to one of the two segments. This mainly concerns the building where our offices are located, the cash and V.A.T. receivables. We also use it to show the elimination of our sales within the segment Circular Metals.

The increase in other operating expenses is mainly due to higher transportation costs due to the volume increase in the BU antimony trioxide, as well as higher sales costs within this unit, which are related to higher antimony prices.

Current tax -12 010 -4 004
Deferred tax 0 240
Income tax expense for the period -12 010 -3 764

Domestic income tax is calculated at 25% (06/30/4 25%) of the estimated assessable result for the financial year. On the balance sheet, this translates to a current tax debt of € 7 780K.

6.7. Dividend paid during the period

In 2025 a total dividend of € 6 750K (which is € 4.5 gross per share) - as well as a tantième of € 105K - were distributed related to the financial year 2024. In 2024 a total dividend of € 4 500K (which is € 3.0 € gross per share) and a tantième of € 90K were distributed based on the 2023 result.

6.8. Permanent Metal Inventory

13 250 13 250
13 250 13 250

In view of the scarcity of antimony metal on the raw material market, it was decided to create a permanent stock. This inventory is the equivalent of one production month. By doing so, Campine ensures continuous availability of raw materials so that the production process cannot be hindered by a late incoming material flow.

The total gross book value of Campine's permanent metal inventories on June 30, 2025 amounts to € 13 250K when applying historic cost prices on June 30, 2025 (€ 13 250K at the end of December 2024). Given the price evolution, there is no risk of overvaluation of this permanent metal stock on June 30, 2025.

Given the permanent nature of these inventories, Campine has chosen to apply the rules for valuation and recognition of Tangible fixed assets (IAS 16) and Impairment of assets (IAS 36). The valuation is based on the principle of 'historical cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses'. Since inventories are assumed to have an indefinite useful life, no depreciation is applied. Instead, they are subject to annual impairment testing for the cashgenerating units that hold these inventories. Any impairment losses recorded are included under 'depreciation and impairment losses'.

6.19. Financial instruments

The major financial instruments of the Group are financial and trade receivables and payables, investments, cash and cash equivalents as well as derivatives.

Categories in the overview of the financial instruments below correspond with the following financial instruments:

  • A. Financial assets or liabilities (including receivables and loans) held until maturity, at the amortised cost.
  • B. Investments held until maturity, at the amortised cost.
  • C. Assets or liabilities, held at the fair value through the profit and loss account.

The aggregate financial instruments of the Group correspond with levels 1 and 2 in the fair values hierarchy. Fair value valuation is carried out regularly.

  • Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: the fair value based on other information, which can, directly or indirectly, be determined for the relevant assets or liabilities.
  • Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The valuation techniques regarding the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments are the following:

  • The fair value of the other level 2 financial assets and liabilities is almost equal to their book value:
    • o either because they have a short-term maturity (like trade receivables and debts),
    • o or because they have a variable interest rate.
  • For fixed-income payables, the fair value was determined using interest rates that apply to active markets.

The valuation techniques are unchanged compared to 12/31/24. There were no transfers between fair value levels in the first 6 months of 2025.

There are currently no claims for which the probability of a cash outflow is considered possible or probable.

Statutory auditor's report on the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information of Campine NV as at 30 June 2025 and for the six-month period then ended

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Campine NV as at 30 June 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2025 and for the six-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
