1 HALF-YEAR ACTIVITY REPORT 1

Imerys reports for H1 2025 stable sales versus last year on a comparable basis (organic growth -0.4%) , reflecting persistent low industrial activity in Europe and a weaker North American economy. Q2 2025 revenue was down vs Q2 2024 on soft volumes and significant depreciation of the US dollar compared to the euro, partly compensated by continued positive pricing.

H1 2025 adjusted EBITDA reached €281 million (16% of sales), up 1.7% vs H1 2024 like-for-like and excluding the contribution of joint ventures. It was supported by price increases, ongoing cost saving initiatives and strong performance of the conductive additives business. However, it was impacted by lower contribution from JVs, perimeter and currency effects.

Q2 2025 adjusted EBITDA reached at €154 million, up 1.7% vs Q2 2024 like-for-like and excluding the contribution of JVs.

Full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA is targeted between €540 and €580 million assuming no material deterioration in the current economic environment.

Imerys is presenting a progress update on its Emili lithium project.

1.1 PROGRESS UPDATE ON EMILI PROJECT

The completion of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) confirms the strong fundamentals of Imerys' Emili lithium project in Beauvoir (Allier, France).

A world-class lithium deposit. The results of the drilling campaigns and the geological and mining assessments show that the Beauvoir deposit is significantly larger and has a higher grade of lithium oxide than previously expected, with inferred and indicated resources reaching a total of 373 millions tonnes at 1.0% lithium oxide (Li2O). Drilling has also evidenced a core of 69 million tonnes at 1.22% Li2O, making the potential exploitation particularly attractive. The deposit has not yet been fully drilled, suggesting additional resources.

This level of resources would support a 50-year life of mine with a target production of 34,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide per year. This positions the Beauvoir deposit among the 5 largest known hard rock deposits in the world.

Production processes fully validated. All process development and technology testing have been completed in continuous piloting mode in a dedicated laboratory, producing nearly one tonne of battery-grade lithium hydroxide to date.

Environmentally and socially responsible lithium production goals upheld.

Imerys confirms that thanks to the French energy mix and technical solutions aiming at containing future CO2 emissions, the Emili project's lithium production will achieve approximately half the CO2 emissions(1) of the average existing hard rock lithium operations globally. Water consumption is also confirmed to rank among the lowest worldwide(2) .

Building on the successful completion of the public debate in 2024, Imerys is actively engaging with local, regional and national stakeholders. Imerys is preparing to adopt the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) standards, the highest in mining, as committed to when launching the Emili project in 2022.

Once fully operational, the project is expected to support locally 1,500 direct and indirect jobs and deliver significant economic benefits for the local communities and for France.

Lithium cash cost projections narrowed, ensuring project competitiveness. The cash cost of the lithium produced at Beauvoir would be in the lower end of the €7-9/kg range announced previously. This estimated cost would position the Emili project in the second quartile of the global cost curve.

The PFS has revised the project's construction costs up to €1.8 billion, mainly due to ESG compliance enhancements and inflation. It has been confirmed that the project is eligible for an investment tax credit of €200 million (C3IV). Moreover, opportunities have been identified to substantially reduce this amount through further engineering improvements and outsourcing, while additional subsidy opportunities are currently being pursued.

Attractive return confirmed. Long-term lithium price market forecasts continue to support the project's attractive return profile, ensuring its alignment with the Group's value creation goals.

Commercial production is now planned for 2030. The duration of the public debate and certain permitting considerations have delayed the potential start of commercial production to 2030. The final investment decision on the construction of the commercial plant will have to be taken by the end of 2027.

Furthermore, being designated a Project of Major National Interest in France and now a Strategic Project by the European Union under the "Critical Raw Material Act", Emili is positioned to access European funding and an accelerated permitting process.

Next steps

The permitting process for the industrial pilot plant is ongoing with the goal of obtaining all necessary permits by the end of Q3 2025.

Given the current lithium market conditions and the size of the capex required, Imerys has decided to explore partnership options.

The contained Sn and Ta mineralisation has been reported using the Li2O COG.

Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of any potential losses due to possible mining methods, such as ground support pillars.

A standard, average, Specific Gravity of 2.63 was used for tonnage calculations.

All tonnages are reported on a dry basis.

1.2 OUTLOOK

Operating in a world characterized by heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, the Group targets an adjusted EBITDA in the range of €540 to €580 million for the year 2025, assuming no material deterioration in the current macroeconomic environment. Imerys expects volumes to turn positive in H2 2025 vs last year. Despite an increasingly unpredictable global environment, the Group remains confident in navigating these challenges with discipline, focus, and a long-term view.

TOTAL 1,919 1,757 -8.4% -0.4% -2.0% +1.6%

Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was €886 million, a 1.5% year-on-year decrease at constant scope and exchange rates. Group sales volumes were down 3.3% reflecting a soft economic environment, penalized by high interest rates and business uncertainties caused by fluctuating US tariff policies. European demand weakness persisted, particularly in the automotive sector. Prices held up well.

Revenue in the first semester 2025 was €1,757 million, reflecting flat organic growth, as lower sales volumes (mainly in Europe) were offset by price increases across all geographies. The Graphite and Carbon business posted a strong 21% year-on-year organic growth.

Adjusted EBITDA

TOTAL ADJUSTED EBITDA 384 281 -26.7%
Of which share in net income from joint ventures 84 11
Margin(1) 20.0% 16.0% -

Adjusted EBITDA for both Q1 and Q2 2025 was impacted by a lower contribution from joint ventures, as expected, and the perimeter effect reflecting the divestiture of assets serving the paper market, completed in July 2024.

Second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was €154 million, with joint ventures' contribution down €23 million vs Q2 2024, and a negative €18 million perimeter effect. Our underlying business performance remained solid and consistent with last year.

H1 2025 adjusted EBITDA totaled €281 million, reflecting a €71 million decrease in joint venture contributions and a perimeter effect of -€34 million.

Imerys achieved an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.0% in the first half, benefiting from stronger performance in Graphite & Carbon, resilient Performance Minerals businesses, and continued cost control efforts.

Current net income

In the second quarter, current net income, Group share decreased by 42.6% and by 52.3% in the first half compared to last year. This can be attributed to lower current operating income after tax versus the prior year, reflecting the perimeter change and lower contribution of joint ventures.

Net income

Net income, Group share, totaled €47 million in the second quarter of 2025, after other income and expenses of -€5 million.

Net income, Group share totaled €70 million for the first six months of 2025, vs €142 million the previous year reflecting the decrease in current net income, partly offset by lower other income and expenses.

(1) Share of net income from joint ventures contributes 4.4 and 0.6 percentage points to H1 2024 and H1 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin, respectively

Net current free operating cash flow 88 40

Net current free operating cash flow for the first half of 2025 totaled €40 million. The decrease compared to prior year is primarily due to a lower profitability and significantly reduced dividends from joint ventures, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditure.

For the full year, net current free operating cash flow should benefit from improved operating working capital and lower capital expenditures. Excluding strategic capex, these are expected to be below €270 million, vs €291 million in 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, net financial debt totaled €1,410 million. The €135 million increase compared to December 31, 2024 is mainly due to dividends payment for €123 million in May 2025.

Net financial debt to adjusted EBITDA amounted to 2.5x to be compared with 1.9x at the end of last year.

The Group's financial strength is demonstrated by the "Investment Grade" ratings confirmed by Standard and Poor's (December 17, 2024, BBB-, stable outlook) and Moody's (April 11, 2025, Baa3, stable outlook).

* Reported variation

First semester 2025 revenue generated by Performance Minerals reached €1,056 million, showing a slightly positive organic growth vs last year, benefiting from supportive pricing across all regions.

Revenue in the Americas was up 1.3% at constant scope and exchange rates, reaching €444 million in H1 2025. Volumes were slightly down (-0.5% vs H1 2024) as the construction sector was penalized by high interest rates and business uncertainties. Revenue in the second quarter 2025 was €222 million. Organic growth is flat as price increases mitigate the impact of softer volumes.

Revenue in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific shows a slight decrease of 1.0% at constant scope and exchange rates in H1 2025 compared to the prior year. This was primarily due to a 1.9% decline in volumes, reflecting low activity in the automotive and painting/coating industries, partially offset by a positive filtration business. A similar trend characterized Q2 with revenue decreasing by 1.8% at constant scope and exchange rates.

Performance Minerals H1 2025 adjusted EBITDA stood at €186 million, in line with 2024 at comparable FX rate and perimeter, thanks to a good operational leverage.

Revenue generated by Solutions for Refractory, Abrasives and Construction in the first semester of 2025 reached €580 million, a 5% decrease compared to the previous year at constant scope and exchange rates. Sales to the refractory market were particularly impacted by low industrial activity in Europe, heightened Chinese competition and, to a lesser extent, lower industrial activity in the US. Construction end-

markets held up well. The second quarter saw a similar trend, with further uncertainties caused by the US tariff policy. Prices held up well.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased in absolute value and as a percentage of sales, impacted by the volume drop. A positive price/cost balance and cost-saving actions helped mitigate this impact.

The Graphite and Carbon business generated revenue of €123 million in H1 2025, confirming in Q2 the good start for the year. Sales growth is driven by robust end markets, mainly electric vehicles and conductive polymers, market share gains and new product launches. Adjusted EBITDA improved thanks to this significant sales volume increase.

The Quartz Corporation (high-purity quartz joint venture, 50% owned by Imerys) generated €82 million revenue (at 100%), a 69.1% drop versus last year's exceptional first half. The performance remains affected by a very disturbed solar value chain, with persistent high inventories, even if activity improved progressively in Q2. Net income fell sharply to €12 million.

Notes to the financial statements

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD AND CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

Significant events

This paragraph helps readers to easily identify the main notes addressing significant events that occurred in the first half of 2025.

  • Developments in the operational litigation related to the historical talc business in North America (note 18.1).
  • Developments in the dispute related to the sale of the business serving the paper market (note 18.2).

Changes in the scope of consolidation

Acquisitions

Chemviron (PM EMEA & APAC segment)

On December 31, 2024, Imerys finalized the 100% acquisition of two companies from the Chemviron group, operating in France and Italy. This consolidated Imerys' portfolio of assets, with mining reserves of perlite and diatomite in particular. The purchase price has been estimated at €49.3 million to date and the opening balance sheet of the two entities was included in the Group's financial statements at December 31, 2024 (with no impact on the income statement). Allocation of the purchase price is still ongoing and will be finalized during the year. A provisional version at the acquisition date is presented in the table below:

Disposals

Business serving the paper market (PM Americas and PM EMEA & APAC segments)

In March 2024, Imerys received a proposal from Flacks Group, a US investment fund, to purchase a group of mining and industrial assets serving the paper market in America, Europe and Asia. The assets and liabilities related to this transaction were classified as held for sale under IFRS 5, and depreciation and amortization ceased to be recognized as of this date; an impairment loss of -€11.3 million and transaction costs of -€17.7 million related to the disposal of this business were recognized at June 30, 2024 (note 9).

The sale of the business to the investment fund Flacks Group was finalized on July 5, 2024 for a sale price of €146.5 million, the payment of which is spread over time, according to the future performance of the assets transferred. The discounted value of the price also takes into account Imerys' best estimate of the risk related to the proceedings with Flacks Group (note 18.2). The carrying amount of the asset sold was €63.3 million on July 5, 2024. Translation differences reclassified to profit or loss as part of this transaction stood at -€301.4 million. The net loss on disposal amounted to -€316.0 million.

As of June 30, 2025, Imerys still owns three entities serving the paper market in Asia, whose divestments to Flacks Group, foreseen contractually, have not yet been finalized to date. The ongoing proceedings with Flacks Group (note 18.2) do not call into question the sale of these entities for the moment. The breakdown of contributions in the consolidated statement of financial position is presented below. Equity, Group share includes -€3.3 million in translation differences to be reclassified to profit or loss at June 30, 2025 (-€2.8 million at December 31, 2024).

Notes to the financial statements

BASIS OF PREPARATION

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The half-year financial statements at June 30, 2025 are intended to update the information published in the full-year financial statements at December 31, 2024 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted within the European Union (hereafter "the Principles"). They are presented here in a condensed form in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all the information covered in the complete financial statements as published at the end of the financial year. They must therefore be analyzed in conjunction with the Group's full-year financial statements published at December 31, 2024. The half-year consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Imerys SA, the parent company of the Group, at its meeting held on July 29, 2025.

NOTE 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

2.1 Mandatory changes

Early adoption

Imerys did not early adopt any standard or interpretation in 2025.

Adoption upon effective date

Amendments to IAS 21, "Lack of Exchangeability". These amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how to determine a spot exchange rate when a currency is not exchangeable. These amendments also require the disclosure of information that enables users of the financial statements to understand the impact of a currency's lack of exchangeability. Following analysis of the provisions of these amendments, no material impacts were identified.

2.2 Voluntary changes

No voluntary change was applied in 2025.

In 2024, the Group opted to present interest paid in net cash flows related to financing activities (previously in net cash flows related to operating activities), in accordance with what is authorized under IAS 7, as the Group considered that this presentation provides a better economic translation of cash flows.

2.3 Estimates and judgments

The matters that require Executive Management to make material estimates and judgments are identified in note 4 of chapter 6.1 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document. These factors remained relevant throughout the first half of 2025 and Executive Management continued to carefully consider these areas of estimates and judgments.

{20}------------------------------------------------

NOTE 3 STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS EFFECTIVE AFTER THE CLOSING DATE

In line with the European Union's latest IFRS endorsement status report published by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), Imerys will apply the following standards and interpretations at the scheduled date.

Application in 2026

Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments". These amendments specify how the standards should be applied in the event of settlement of liabilities using electronic payment systems, and the classification of financial instruments with contingent characteristics, including ESG. The provisions of these amendments are currently being analyzed and no material impact has been identified to date.

Application in 2027

IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements". IFRS 18 lays down general and specific provisions on the presentation of information in the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of changes in equity. It also stipulates the information to be provided in the notes to the financial statements. It replaces IAS 1"Presentation of Financial Statements". The provisions of this standard are currently being analyzed.

INFORMATION BY SEGMENT

Imerys delivers high value-added functional solutions to a wide of industries, ranging from process manufacturing to consumer goods. In each of its operating segments, the Group draws on its understanding of applications, technological knowledge and expertise in material science to deliver solutions by beneficiating its mineral resources, synthetic minerals and formulations. Imerys' solutions contribute essential properties to customers' products and their performance, including heat resistance, hardness, conductivity, opacity, durability, purity, lightness, filtration, absorption and water repellency.

Imerys' segment information is presented in four operating segments as described below:

  • Performance Minerals (PM): comprises two operating segments: Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific (PM EMEA & APAC) on the one hand and America (PM Americas) on the other hand, which are presented separately as well as the inter-segment eliminations and other adjustments at the level of this group (Other PM). These two segments serve mainly plastics, paints & coatings, filtration, life sciences, ceramics, building products, and the paper market until June 30, 2024;
  • Refractory, Abrasives & Construction (RAC): this operating segment serves the refractory, foundry, abrasives and building chemistry markets;
  • Solutions for Energy Transition (SET) comprises Imerys Graphite & Carbon (IG&C) operating segment, mainly serving the mobile energy market, and Imerys' participation in The Quartz Corporation (TQC), a 50% owned joint-venture, serving the solar and semiconductor markets with high-purity quartz solutions.

Each of the operating segments manufactures and sells goods and services presenting geological, industrial and commercial synergies and is monitored each month by Executive Management in its business reporting on the Consolidated income statement, adjusted EBITDA and capital employed.

Executive Management considers that the holding structure that handles the Group's centralized financing does not constitute a segment, nor do the ongoing strategic investments in lithium projects. Their aggregates are therefore presented in a reconciliation column with the intersegment eliminations (Other).

Financial information by segment is measured in accordance with the principles set out in the Principles (note 1). Transactions between segments are measured at the price upon which two independent parties would have agreed on an arm's length basis.

At December 31, 2024, the impairment test on goodwill did not lead to the recognition of any impairment loss. This test is performed systematically on goodwill at the end of the financial year. It is only performed at the half-year close when an impairment indicator is identified.

After having considered the observable facts and circumstances likely to trigger an impairment test, particularly interest rate fluctuations and events that may affect operations, Executive Management identified there was no indication of impairment and the test on goodwill was not performed at the end of the first half of 2025.

The criteria used to measure other provisions at the end of the half-year reporting period are identical to those applied at the end of the annual reporting period (note 23.2 in chapter 6.1 of the 2024 Universal Registration Document). This amount includes in particular the balance of the provision set aside to resolve the litigation involving the Group's talc operations in the US.

Litigation involving the Group's talc operations

On February 13, 2019, the Group's three North American talc subsidiaries (the "North American Talc Subsidiaries") decided to file for the protection, with immediate effect, of the special legal process of Chapter 11 under US bankruptcy law in order to permanently resolve the potential liabilities related to their historic commercial talc operations in the United States. Under Chapter 11, the Group remains the legal owner of the share capital of the North American Talc Subsidiaries, but their businesses are under the judicial control of the relevant Federal Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). This Court oversees the continuing operations of the entities concerned as well as the conclusion and execution of a business reorganization plan that the North American Talc Subsidiaries have sought to negotiate with representatives of existing and future potential talc claimants (the "Representatives of Claimants") in lawsuits initiated against them. The Chapter 11 process suspended all ongoing litigation proceedings and enjoined any further claims being brought against these entities relating to their talc operations.

Given effective control of the North American Talc Subsidiaries was transferred on February 13, 2019 to the court to repay creditors, the assets and liabilities held by the North American Talc Subsidiaries were removed from the scope of consolidation of the Group's financial statements from this date forward, which led to an additional expense of €5.6 million being recognized in other operating income and expenses. Negotiations between the North American Talc Subsidiaries, which were joined by Imerys Talc Italy (collectively with the North American Talc Subsidiaries, the "Talc Subsidiaries Involved"), the Group and the Representatives of Claimants led to the agreement on May 15, 2020 of a joint reorganization plan (the "Plan"), which was filed on the same day with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan provides that once the necessary approvals have been obtained, the Talc Subsidiaries Involved will come out of the Chapter 11 process and the Group will be released from all existing and future talc related liabilities arising out of past operations of the Talc Subsidiaries Involved, as such liabilities will be channeled into a dedicated trust to be established (the "Trust").

Following the approval in January 2021 by the Bankruptcy Court of the disclosure statement filed in conjunction with the Plan and in accordance with its terms, the North American Talc Subsidiaries sold their assets to Magris Resources, a Canadian investment fund, for USD223.0 million on February 17, 2021.

In April 2021, the Plan was approved at a qualified majority exceeding the 75% voting threshold of the creditors and claimants against the Talc Subsidiaries Involved which is required under the applicable laws. However, in October 2021, the Bankruptcy Court issued a ruling that certain ballots cast in favor of the Plan will not be counted and, as a consequence, the approval of the Plan fell just short of the required 75% majority vote.

{35}------------------------------------------------

2 CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the financial statements

As a result, the North American Talc Subsidiaries, the Representatives of the Claimants, and other stakeholders in the Chapter 11 process have engaged in mediation and negotiations, with a successively extended timeline approved by the Bankruptcy Court, to reach a revised Plan (the "Revised Plan") that will achieve the required 75% majority approval vote.

The progress in the mediation and negotiation process to agree on a Revised Plan has been delayed by the distraction of certain parties caused by three successive Chapter 11 petitions commenced by newly formed subsidiaries of the Johnson & Johnson group ("J&J") specifically created for this purpose ("New J&J Affiliate"). These separate and specific Chapter 11 cases have been highly contested judicially and have led the different relevant Courts to dismiss the successive petitions in January and August 2023 and then in March 2025. The mediation and negotiations between the relevant parties have finally succeeded in an agreement on a Revised Plan which was first filed in January 2024 before the Bankruptcy Court and thereafter supplemented by several successive amendments.

In October 2024, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement agreement between J&J and all relevant parties involved in the Chapter 11 cases of the North American Talc Subsidiaries and Cyprus Mines, one of the previous owners of certain talc assets of North American Talc Subsidiaries which had initiated in April 2021 a concurring Chapter 11 process before the same Bankruptcy Court. This agreement provides for the settlement of all claims between the relevant signing parties, including those relating to indemnity claims of the North American Talc Subsidiaries and Cyprus Mines against J&J, in consideration of the payment by J&J of at least USD505 million to the North American Talc Subsidiaries and Cyprus Mines, or the Trust (the "J&J Settlement"). In accordance with its obligations, J&J paid a significant share of its settlement amount in February 2025 to an escrow account of the North American Talc Subsidiaries.

Following the filing of the last amended version of the Revised Plan and associated documents, incorporating in particular the J&J Settlement terms and the alignment of joint and concurring approval processes of the respective Chapter 11 cases of Cyprus Mines and the North American Talc Subsidiaries, the Bankruptcy Court entered in November 2024 an order approving, among other things, the disclosure statement of the Revised Plan and the solicitation of votes on this Plan from the creditors of the Talc Subsidiaries Involved and claimants against them.

In January 2025, the Revised Plan was approved by more than 90% of these voting creditors and claimants and therefore exceeded the 75% legally required approval threshold.

Following the approval of the Revised Plan and as provided under its terms since May 2020, Imerys Talc Italy decided to file for Chapter 11 protection and join the Revised Plan in March 2025.

The confirmation hearing of the Revised Plan commenced in the Bankruptcy Court at the end of April 2025. The confirmation hearing was then adjourned by the Bankruptcy Court to allow the relevant parties to address and resolve certain specific legal issues raised during the hearings. For the purpose of this resolution, a new Revised Plan was filed in June 2025 (the "New Revised Plan"). It reflects in particular the motion filed on the same date by Imerys Talc Italy to dismiss its Chapter 11 case (and officially closed by the Bankruptcy Court on July 21), as well as the establishment of an additional USD12.0 million contribution to the Trust by certain parties (including USD4.0 million by Imerys) to indemnify certain future potential claims against the Trust outside North America (the "Potential Foreign Claims"). A new schedule of the proceedings to continue the confirmation hearings of the New Revised Plan should be communicated in the near future by the Bankruptcy Court which also requested further legal briefing from the parties to the case on certain specific legal issues related to the New Revised Plan.

Subject to the confirmation of the New Revised Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, this ruling must then be reviewed and affirmed by another relevant U.S. Federal District Court of Delaware. These judicial decisions may also be subject to potential appeals from third parties.

Under the terms and conditions of the settlement with the Group as embedded in the Plan and restated in the New Revised Plan, the Group's contribution consists of (i) a minimum cash payment of USD75.0 million, (ii) the proceeds from the sale of the assets of the North American Talc Subsidiaries at a price of USD223.0 million, and (iii) certain other components further outlined in the New Revised Plan. These commitments primarily include certain insurance assets, financing of minor unsecured trade claims (USD5.0 million), and certain excess administrative costs of the Chapter 11 process incurred by the Talc Subsidiaries Involved up to a maximum of USD15.0 million. In addition to this Group's contribution, the New Revised Plan provides for a complementary funding by Imerys for Potential Foreign Claims (USD4.0 million) and under a related separate agreement Imerys USA has also agreed to reimburse certain specific outside legal fees (USD1.4 million) of a single law firm representing plaintiffs against the Talc Subsidiaries Involved.

On the basis of the New Revised Plan and the current state of the Chapter 11 process, at the date the Group's 2025 halfyear financial results were approved, Executive Management reviewed with the help of independent third-party experts and reiterated its prior estimate of the risk related to the resolution of the Chapter 11 procedure and the forecast financial impact for the Group. A provision of €250.0 million was initially accrued in Imerys' 2018 consolidated financial accounts, bearing in mind that the North American Talc Subsidiaries have been deconsolidated since February 13, 2019. At June 30, 2025, the provision recognized in the Imerys financial statements, which amounted €99.8 million at closing rate, was considered appropriate to cover the expected financial impact of the New Revised Plan for the Group.

{36}------------------------------------------------

18.2 Contingent liabilities and disputes

Following Imerys' sale of a group of assets serving the paper market in Europe, America and Asia to the investment fund Flacks Group finalized on July 5, 2024 (highlights of the period), two proceedings were initiated, which are still ongoing.

One was brought by Imerys in December 2024 in the US with a view to obtaining the settlement of a portion of the sale price that remained unpaid.

The other was brought in February 2025 by Artemyn Minerals France (acquisition vehicle for Flacks Group) against Imerys before the Paris court of economic affairs (Tribunal des activités économiques de Paris), seeking compensation for various damages allegedly suffered following the sale. Imerys intends to reject all of the claims brought by Artemyn, which face a number of obstacles both in fact and in law.

Parties have initiated a mediation process.

At June 30, 2025, cash included a restricted balance of €2.7 million (€3.4 million at December 31, 2024) not available for Imerys S.A. and its subsidiaries. Of this total amount, €2.7 million (€3.4 million at December 31, 2024) is not available due to legal restrictions on foreign exchange controls and €0.0 million (€0.0 million at December 31, 2024) due to statutory requirements.

Cash equivalents were composed of €253.7 million in shortterm deposits and similar investments at June 30, 2025 (€320.7 million at December 31, 2024).

Factoring

Imerys has introduced an ad hoc factoring program within the PM Americas, PM EMEA & APAC, RAC and IG&C segments. Under this arrangement, Imerys retains an ongoing involvement with the assigned receivables through the dilution risk, as well as through the obligation to pass over to the factor the cash flows received from customers. Most of the risks and benefits in respect of the assigned receivables have been transferred to the factor and these receivables have been derecognized.

At June 30, 2025, the carrying amount of these derecognized receivables was €135.7 million (€112.2 million at December 31, 2024). The maximum authorized outstanding amount was €175.0 million (€175.0 million as of December 31, 2024).

Reverse factoring

A reverse factoring program was implemented for the first time in 2025 for a limited number of Group entities, allowing enrolled suppliers, by assigning their trade receivables before maturity, to benefit from advance payments.

After analyzing the key features of these programs, these liabilities are maintained as payables. The Group thus ensured that they were not substantially altered, and in particular:

  • the Group's settlement periods are in accordance with local market and industry practices;
  • the terms of the contract with the supplier are not linked to the existence of a reverse factoring program;

■ the supplier remains free to choose whether or not to assign its receivable.

The amount of trade payables included under this reverse factoring program and presented as payables totaled €2.7 million as of June 30, 2025, (or 0.6% of payables).

Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA)

As part of its commitment to decarbonize its activities, Imerys signed in April 2025 an agreement to procure renewable energy (VPPA) in the US with a French provider. This 15-year contract, slated for commissioning in the second half of 2026, will enable the production of electricity from solar panels, for an expected total of 153 GWh per year, for which Imerys will receive green certificates.

This agreement, which has no physical delivery of electricity and included a cash settlement based on the difference between the contract price and the market value, comprises two components: the purchase of green certificates and an embedded derivative as defined by IFRS 9. This derivative financial instrument is recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and its changes recognized in financial income (loss).

On the date the contract was signed, a derivative liability was recognized in the balance sheet for €3.7 million; change in fair value at June 30, 2025 is not material.

{38}------------------------------------------------

Reconciliation of net financial debt

Gross financial debt includes the non-current and current portion of "Borrowings and financial debt" and "Lease liabilities" as well as derivative financial assets and liabilities hedging debt risks. Net financial debt reflects Imerys' net position on the market and with financial institutions. It is used to manage the Group's financial resources, in particular to calculate covenants with which Imerys has to comply as part of the financing agreements entered into with financial markets (note 19.3).

The following table presents the link between net financial debt and the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position with a distinction between non-derivative and derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments included in the calculation of net financial debt correspond to financing hedge assets and liabilities since they are part of the future cash outflows of this aggregate (note 19.3). Operational hedge instruments are not included in the calculation of net financial debt.

Risk management. Imerys is required to maintain a covenant attached to certain bilateral facilities, the terms of which are as follows:

  • purpose: general corporate financing requirement.
  • covenant compliance obligations: consolidated net financial debt excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities/ consolidated equity shall, in accordance with the terms of related financing agreements, be less than or equal to 1.60 at the end of each reporting period for annual consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2025, the ratio worked out at 0.40 (0.34 at December 31, 2024).
  • absence of any collateral in favor of lenders.

Failure to comply with the above obligations in any of the related financing agreements could lead to the available amount being canceled and the corresponding financial debt becoming immediately due, upon demand of the lender(s) in question. Other than with two exceptions, the Group's financing agreements do not provide for any cross default if a mandatory covenant is breached. At June 30, 2025, Imerys had a long-term rating of Baa3, stable outlook (Baa3, stable outlook at December 31, 2024) from Moody's and BBB-, stable outlook (BBB-, stable outlook at December 31, 2024) from S&P.

On July 10, 2024, Imerys updated its Euro Medium Term Note program (EMTN) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in Luxembourg (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). The program amounted to €3.0 billion and is approved to issue notes similar to ordinary bonds with maturities from one month to 30 years. At June 30, 2025, outstanding securities amounted to €900.0 million (€900.0 million at December 31, 2024).

Imerys also has a short-term negotiable debt securities program (NEU CP) capped at €1,000.0 million (€1,000.0 million at December 31, 2024) rated P-3 by Moody's (P-3 at December 31, 2024). At June 30, 2025, outstanding short-term negotiable securities amounted to €0.0 million (€0.0 million at December 31, 2024).

In 2022, Imerys introduced a medium-term negotiable debt securities program (NEU MTN) with the Banque de France, capped at €300.0 million (€300.0 million at December 31, 2024). No securities were issued in either 2025 or 2024. At June 30, 2025, Imerys had access to €1,010.0 million in bilateral facilities (€1,010.0 million at December 31, 2024), a portion of which secures the short-term negotiable securities issued, in accordance with the Group's financial policy.

Moreover, having in 2023 further underscored its commitment in its sustainable development policy by linking its financing strategy to its sustainability ambition, on November 29, 2023, the Group completed an issue of bonds indexed to a sustainable development objective (Sustainability-Linked Bonds) for a principal amount of €500.0 million. These bonds, due to mature on November 29, 2029, bear an annual coupon of 4.75% and are admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Issued in accordance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles as published by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), these instruments, through their framework, are indexed to a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 32.7% by 2028 (tCO2e emitted) from a 2021 base year, as approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

This includes Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Imerys) and Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from the production of electricity, heat or steam imported or purchased by the Group). Failure to comply with these targets at December 31, 2028 could lead to the payment of penalties corresponding to 75 basis points of the principal amount for the 2028 target.

At June 30, 2025, Imerys had achieved a cumulative reduction in the tCO2e emitted of 29.9% compared with 2021 levels (28.3% at December 31, 2024).

On May 14, 2021, the Group also completed an issue of bonds indexed to its sustainable development objectives (Sustainability-Linked Bonds) for a principal amount of €300.0 million. These bonds, due to mature on July 15, 2031, bear an annual coupon of 1.00% and are admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Issued in accordance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles as published by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), these instruments are indexed to a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 22.9% in 2025 and 36.0% in 2030 as a proportion of revenue (tCO2e / € million) considering 2018 as the base year, as approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Failure to comply with these targets at December 31, 2025 and/or at December 31, 2030 could lead to the payment of penalties corresponding to 25 basis points of the principal amount for the 2025 target and/or 50 basis points of the principal amount for the 2030 target.

At June 30, 2025, Imerys had reduced the tCO2e emitted per million euros of revenue by 31.4% compared with 2018 levels (31.6% at December 31, 2024).

Statutory auditors' review report on the half-year financial information

For the period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-year financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-year management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

To the Shareholders,

IMERYS

43 quai de Grenelle 75015 PARIS

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the General Shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L.451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of Imerys, for the period from January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025,
  • the verification of the information presented in the half-year management report.

These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I - Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.

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 professional standards applicable in France 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.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed halfyearconsolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II - Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-year management report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements.

Neuilly-sur-Seine and Paris-La Défense, July 29, 2025 The Statutory Auditors
