Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, declared:
“Our tube business continues to improve quarter after quarter driven bya favorable environment due to a worldwide focus on energy security. Q3 results are positively impacted bythenew Company-wide pricing strategies implemented since Q2 and strong volume dynamics related to new or existing contracts. In addition, we have made significant progress towards restoring normal operationsat our Pau Branco mine. We have received permission to continue to use alternative waste piles until the beginning of Q2 2023. In parallel, we have finalized civil works related to the restoration of the minimum safety factor of thecore Cachoeirinha waste pile and registered the request for its release.
Within our businesses, Q4 mine production will be above our previous assumptions, at lower prices.Our tube business continues to perform strongly across the global platform, even though we are seeing higher energy costs in the to be closed German operations. In addition, as part of our focus on inventory management, we have scrapped unallocated materials and inventories with low resale value potential, leading to one-off expenses in 2022.
Overall,weconfirm our full year 2022 EBITDA objective of €650 million to €750 million, and we are on track to deliver positive Free Cash Flow in the second half, driven byan expected strong Q4 performance.
At the same time,we are making steady progress in the implementation of our New Vallourec plan: in recent weeks we have secured firm social agreements in France, Germany, and the UK, substantially de-risking our plan and allowing our teams to focus on execution.In addition, we will expand the scope of the transformation of our business and implement New Vallourec plan initiatives in other geographies, starting with Brazil. Our strategic targets remain unchanged: to become cycle proof and to increase our margins towards best-in class levels.The New Vallourec planis fully on track to generate €230 million of recurring EBITDA upliftwith full impact starting in Q2 2024.”

- 17% currency conversion effect mainly related to weaker EUR/USD and EUR/BRL
- 16% volume increase mainly driven by Oil & Gas in EA-MEA and North America
- 26% price/mix effect
- (5)% iron ore mine
For the First Nine months, revenues totaled €3,342 million, up41% year-on-year and by27% at constant exchange rateson the back of:

- In North America, Oil & Gas revenues more than doubled thanks to both higher prices and volumes
- In EA-MEA, the significant Oil & Gas revenue increase was mainly driven by higher volumes
- In South America, the decrease in revenues was explained by lower project line pipe activity
For the First Nine months,Oil & Gas revenues totaled €2,025 million,up67% year-on-year (+51% at constant exchange rates), mainly thanks to North America and, to a lesser extent, EA-MEA.
In Q3 2022, Petrochemicalsrevenuesstood at€113million,more than doublingyear-on-year (+105% at constant exchange rates) notably explained by increased prices and volumes in North America.

- An industrial margin of €661 million or 19.8% of revenues, up €43 million compared with 9M 2021. The positive contribution of the Oil & Gas market in North America, both in prices and volumes, was partially offset by the negative impact of the temporary suspension of the mine operations.

The Group has no repayments scheduled before June 2026.
UPDATE ON PAU BRANCO MINE
Operations at Vallourec’s Pau Branco iron ore mine were temporarily suspended in January 2022 following flooding which caused damage to its Cachoeirinha waste pile. Operations were partially restarted in May using an alternative waste pile, albeit at lower-than-normal capacity levels. Volumes extracted in first nine months 2022 amounted to c.2.6 million tons.
Permissions from authorities have been obtained to continue to use alternative waste piles until the beginning of Q2 2023. In parallel, the Group has finalized civil works related to the restoration of the minimum safety factor of the core Cachoeirinha waste pile and registered the request for full release.
For 2022 as a whole, Vallourec estimates production of around 3.8 million tons, which is embedded in our FY 2022 EBITDA outlook.
MARKET TRENDS
Oil & Gas
In North America, the highly favorable market conditions should continue through year-end and into 2023. The OCTG market remains very tight in terms of available supply.
In EA-MEA, ongoing volume recovery is expected in the coming quarters especially in the dynamic Middle East markets, with a progressive recovery in pricing power.
In Europe, higher energy costs are set to impact GDP growth.
In South America, prices and volumes are expected to increase.
Industry & Other
In Brazil, the outlook for volumes is neutral, with price increases fully offsetting cost inflation.
OUTLOOK
We confirmour EBITDA objectivefor FY 2022in a range of €650 to €750 million.
Capex is expected to be around €200 million, including approximately €60 million for the preparation of the transfer of Oil & Gas volumes from Germany to Brazil.
Free Cash Flow will be positive in H2, driven by an expected strong Q4 performance.
NEW VALLOUREC PLAN ON TRACK WITH NEW INITIATIVES ADDED
The New Vallourec plan, announced in May 2022, remains fully on track. The plan aims to generate €230 million of recurring EBITDA uplift and around €20 million CAPEX reduction with full impact starting in Q2 2024, contributing to making the Group cycle-proof and generating positive free cash flow2 even at the bottom of the cycle.
In recent weeks we have secured firm social agreements in France, Germany, and the UK, substantially de-risking our plan and allowing our teams to focus on execution. Moreover, we will implement New Vallourec plan initiatives in other geographies starting with Brazil, as well as production increases in the US and Saudi Arabia.
In addition, a value-over-volume strategy incorporates portfolio rationalization to drive profitable growth. Vallourec aims to achieve best-in-class profitability levels and close the margin gap with peers.
