Ferroglobe experienced a challenging second quarter in 2025 due to significant external factors, including aggressive silicon metal imports into Europe from China and broader geopolitical uncertainty. However, the company achieved a strong sequential rebound in adjusted EBITDA, driven by increased sales volumes and improved pricing in silicon metal and manganese-based alloys. The company maintained a solid cash position and ended the quarter in a net cash position for the sixth consecutive quarter.

Ferroglobe reported a challenging first quarter of 2025 with sales decreasing by 16.4% quarter-over-quarter and 21.6% year-over-year to $307.2 million. The company posted a net loss of $66.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $(26.8) million, reflecting an uncertain market environment and lower pricing. Despite this, Ferroglobe generated positive free cash flow of $5.1 million and maintained a strong balance sheet with no net debt.

Ferroglobe's Q4 2024 performance saw a decrease in sales and adjusted EBITDA compared to both the prior quarter and prior year. Despite this, the company generated strong free cash flow, repaid senior secured notes, and initiated a capital return program including dividends and share repurchases. The company remains optimistic about demand improvement in the second half of 2025 and anticipates benefits from ongoing trade measures.
