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.
Sales increased by 25.9% quarter-over-quarter to $386.9 million, but decreased by 14.2% year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA saw a significant rebound, reaching $21.6 million, compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA in the prior quarter.
Net loss attributable to the parent improved to $(10.5) million from $(66.5) million in the previous quarter.
The company maintained a strong liquidity profile with total cash of $135.5 million and a net cash position of $10.3 million.
Ferroglobe is withdrawing its guidance due to elevated macro uncertainty and limited visibility. However, the company anticipates positive impacts from ongoing trade actions and expects these tailwinds, along with disciplined execution and prudent capital allocation, to position it for stronger performance and long-term value creation in 2026.
