AMG Delivers Strong Full Year 2024 Earnings
Amsterdam, 26 February
2025 (Regulated
Information) --- AMG Critical Materials N.V.
(“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) reports fourth quarter 2024
revenue of $361 million, in line with the fourth quarter 2023
revenue of $367 million. Full year 2024 revenue was $1,440 million,
an 11% decrease versus 2023. AMG achieved an adjusted EBITDA of
$168 million during 2024, with a remarkably strong performance by
the AMG Technologies segment.
Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch, Chairman of the
Management Board and CEO, said, “We delivered a strong EBITDA of
$168 million for the full year in 2024 despite exceptionally low
lithium and vanadium prices. The lithium and vanadium prices
dropped 65% and 23%, respectively. This is AMG’s highest EBITDA
apart from the 2018 peak in vanadium pricing and the 2022 and 2023
peak in lithium pricing. AMG Technologies’ performance was
exceptionally strong in 2024, with adjusted full year EBITDA of $68
million, more than double that of 2023. AMG Engineering secured a
record-breaking $380 million in order intake during 2024 and an
order backlog of $374 million at the end of 2024.
The results of the year 2024 illustrate the
value of our portfolio where the downturn of key prices is partly
compensated by strong performance by other portfolio constituents
in this case, particularly AMG Technologies.”
AMG Lithium B.V.
- Our lithium concentrate plant
expansion from 90,000 tons to 130,000 tons per year in Brazil is
complete. AMG is one of the lowest-cost lithium concentrate mines
in the world, and we plan to maintain this competitive
advantage.
- The commissioning and ramp-up of
AMG’s first 20,000-ton module of its lithium hydroxide refinery in
Bitterfeld, Germany continues to progress as planned.
AMG Vanadium B.V.
- SARBV’s “Supercenter” phase 1
project in Saudi Arabia is in detailed engineering with the permit
to construct expected by the end of the first quarter. Long lead
equipment is being procured, and project financing has been
initiated.
AMG Technologies
- AMG Engineering achieved $374
million in order backlog as of December 31, 2024, which was
supported by order intake of $380 million during 2024, the highest
in AMG’s history and 9% higher than in 2023, driven largely by
strong orders of remelting and induction furnaces.
- In December 2024, AMG signed a
letter of intent to repurchase a 40% ownership interest in Graphit
Kropfmühl GmbH currently owned by Alterna Capital Partners.
Financial Highlights
- AMG’s liquidity as of
December 31, 2024 was $494 million, with $294 million of
unrestricted cash and $200 million of revolving credit
availability.
- Strong cash generation during the
fourth quarter of 2024 resulted in $37 million in operating cash
flow for full year 2024 despite difficult market conditions.
- Adjusted fourth quarter EBITDA of
$58 million continued 2024’s quarter on quarter growth, achieving
the highest quarterly result in 2024 despite continued weakness in
lithium and vanadium prices. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA was
$168 million compared to the record $350 million in the prior
year.
- The total 2024 dividend proposed is
€0.40 per ordinary share, including the interim dividend of €0.20,
which was paid on August 14, 2024.

AMG Lithium’s revenue decreased 35% compared to
the fourth quarter of 2023. This variance was due to the 44%
decline in lithium market prices versus the fourth quarter of 2023,
offset by a 13% increase in volume. Lower average annual prices
largely drove the 56% decrease in full year revenue compared to
2023.
SG&A expenses of $11 million during the
fourth quarter of 2024 were 9% lower than in the same period of
2023, due to lower professional fees and R&D expenses given the
opening of the lithium hydroxide refinery in the third quarter of
2024. Full year 2024 SG&A expenses of $45 million were 9%
higher than in 2023, mainly driven by the increase in headcount
related to the German lithium expansion project.
The fourth quarter 2024 adjusted EBITDA
decreased 79%, to $6 million, from $31 million in the fourth
quarter of 2023, due to the decline in lithium prices as noted
above. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA decreased from $237 million
to $24 million, driven primarily by the 65% decrease in annual
average lithium prices in 2024 compared to 2023.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, a total of
33,492 dry metric tons (“dmt”) of lithium concentrates were sold,
13% higher than the 29,706 dmt in the fourth quarter of 2023, due
to high shipments in the quarter. The average realized sales price
was $680/dmt CIF China for the quarter. The average cost per ton
for the quarter was $290/dmt CIF China, driven by higher lithium
concentrate production, lower costs from the weakening Brazilian
Real, and ongoing high tantalum sales volumes which lower the cost
of production.
During 2024, a total of 88,966 dry metric tons
(“dmt”) of lithium concentrates were sold, 6% lower than the 95,097
dmt in 2023. The average realized sales price was $854/dmt CIF
China for the year. The average cost per ton for the year was
$458/dmt CIF China compared to $475/dmt CIF China for 2023.
Although we experienced quarterly volatility in our cost per ton,
the annual figures represent our long-term target.
Our lithium concentrate plant expansion from
90,000 tons to 130,000 tons per year is complete. AMG is one of the
lowest-cost lithium concentrate mines in the world, and we plan to
maintain this competitive advantage.

AMG Vanadium’s revenue for the fourth quarter of
2024 decreased by 10%, to $145 million, due primarily to lower
volumes of ferrovanadium, partially offset by increased sales
prices and volumes in chrome metal. Lower average annual sales
prices in vanadium largely drove the 11% decrease in full year 2024
revenue versus the prior period, partially offset by increased
volumes in chrome metal.
Adjusted gross profit of $37 million in the
fourth quarter of 2024 was 47% higher compared to the same period
in 2023, largely due to an increased benefit from Section 45X, a
production credit for domestic manufacturing of critical materials
for which AMG Vanadium qualified based on the Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022. Full year 2024 adjusted gross profit was 5% higher
than in 2023, driven by the increased chrome metal volumes during
the current period, partially offset by the lower average annual
sales prices in vanadium.
SG&A expenses of $14 million in the fourth
quarter of 2024 were 13% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2023,
largely driven by a prior quarter year-end pension adjustment which
substantially lowered the personnel costs in that quarter. Full
year 2024 SG&A expenses of $56 million, a 7% decrease from the
prior year, primarily due to the higher personnel costs in the
prior period associated with the vanadium expansion project.
The fourth quarter of 2024 adjusted EBITDA of
$31 million was 6% higher than the same period in 2023 which
benefited from a $10 million dividend from an equity investment.
This increase was primarily driven by the higher profitability in
chrome in the fourth quarter, as well as the ongoing benefit of
Section 45X. Full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA decreased from $81
million in 2023 to $76 million largely due to the lower
profitability in vanadium relating to the 23% decrease in average
market prices for ferrovanadium compared to the prior year, offset
by the benefit of Section 45X.

AMG Technologies' fourth quarter 2024 revenue
increased by $39 million, or 32%, compared to the same period in
2023. This improvement was driven by higher sales prices of
antimony and higher sales volumes of silicon. Revenue for the
segment in 2024 increased 24% compared to the prior year due to
strong revenues in Engineering, as well as higher sales prices of
antimony and higher sales volumes of silicon.
SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024
of $21 million were materially in line with the comparable prior
period. Full year 2024 SG&A expenses of $83 million were 8%
higher than in 2023, due to additional personnel at AMG LIVA and
AMG Engineering corresponding to the increased business
development, as well as increased research and development
costs.
AMG Technologies’ adjusted EBITDA was $20
million during the fourth quarter, 83% higher than the fourth
quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher
profitability in antimony and graphite. Full year 2024 adjusted
EBITDA for the segment was $68 million, more than double the $33
million in the prior year, largely due to higher profitability in
Antimony, Engineering, and Graphite.
AMG Engineering signed $77 million in new orders
during the fourth quarter of 2024. On a full year basis, AMG signed
$380 million in new orders, representing a 1.27x book to bill
ratio. The 2024 order intake was driven by exceptionally strong
orders of remelting and induction furnaces. Order backlog was $374
million as of December 31, 2024.
AMG Silicon has temporarily halted operations
for the two furnaces it had been running since March 2024.
Electricity prices between 90 and 100 €/MWh have forced AMG Silicon
to cease operations in February 2025, with maintenance work
currently underway to implement a temporary shutdown. We plan to
begin operating one furnace again in the second quarter of this
year. Due to these interruptions in AMG Silicon’s operations, the
profitability of the business is immaterial and excluded from
adjusted EBITDA during this period of abnormal operations.
Financial Review
Tax
AMG recorded an income tax expense of $23
million in 2024, compared to $95 million in 2023. The decrease in
tax expense was primarily driven by lower profitability in 2024.
However, tax expense was $24 million higher than the amount as
calculated using statutory rates. This increase was due to $12
million of higher Brazilian deferred tax expense related to the
depreciation of the Brazilian Real, as well as $12 million of net
operating loss carryforwards that were disallowed in Germany for
our lithium operations.
AMG paid taxes of $19 million in 2024, compared
to tax payments of $103 million in 2023. The reduction in cash tax
payments in the current period were largely related to the decrease
in profitability of our Brazilian operations in 2024.
Exceptional Items – Adjusted Gross Profit
AMG’s fourth quarter and full year 2024 gross
profit includes exceptional items, which are not included in the
calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

profit in 2024 and 2023 are below:

AMG had $4 million non-cash expense during the
fourth quarter of 2024 mainly driven by AMG Vanadium due to the
decline in vanadium prices, which has been excluded from the
calculation of adjusted EBITDA.
SG&A
AMG’s fourth quarter 2024 SG&A expenses of
$46 million were 2% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2023. Full
year 2024 SG&A expenses were $184 million, 3% higher than the
$178 million in 2023. This variance was primarily driven by the
increase in headcount and R&D expenses in our Engineering and
LIVA businesses associated with our strategic expansion
projects.

AMG continued to maintain a strong balance sheet
and adequate sources of liquidity during the fourth quarter. As of
December 31, 2024, the Company had $294 million in
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $200 million available
on its revolving credit facility. As such, AMG had $494 million of
total liquidity as of December 31, 2024.
Net Finance (Costs) Income
AMG’s fourth quarter 2024 net finance cost was
$13 million compared to $2 million of net finance income in the
fourth quarter of 2023. This shift is largely due to higher
non-cash intercompany foreign exchange gains in the prior
period.
Final Dividend Proposal
AMG intends to declare a dividend of €0.40 per
ordinary share over the financial year 2024. The interim dividend
of €0.20, paid on August 14, 2024, will be deducted from the amount
to be distributed to shareholders. The proposed final dividend per
ordinary share therefore amounts to €0.20.
A proposal to resolve upon the final dividend
distribution will be included on the agenda for the Annual General
Meeting to be held on May 8, 2025.
New External Auditor 2026-2027
The Supervisory Board has resolved in its
meeting on February 26, 2025 to nominate EY as the new external
auditor of AMG starting with the years 2026 and 2027. EY will
succeed KPMG, which will have completed its cycle of ten years as
AMG’s external auditor once the 2025 annual financial statements
and report have been audited and published.
A proposal to resolve upon the appointment of EY
as external auditor of AMG will be included on the agenda for the
Annual General Meeting to be held on May 8, 2025.
Outlook
We anticipate maintaining a stable headcount as
our expansion projects in Germany and Brazil near completion.
Capital expenditures for 2025 are projected to
be approximately $75 to $100 million, primarily driven by the
completion of the lithium hydroxide plant in Germany, increased
tantalum capacity and mine investments in Brazil, as well as
targeted growth investments in the Vanadium and Technologies
segments.
Our current liquidity is $494 million and can
fully fund all approved capital expansion projects and all other
financial obligations. AMG has no significant near-term debt
maturities. The $450 million term loan matures in November 2028 and
the $307 million municipal bond matures in July 2049. Since AMG’s
undrawn $200 million revolver matures in November 2026, we expect
to execute a maturity extension on the revolver in 2025 to maintain
our liquidity and reduce refinancing risk.
AMG continues to advance its two key lithium
expansion initiatives. The lithium concentrate expansion project in
Brazil has been completed, and commissioning of Module 1 at our
lithium hydroxide refinery in Germany continues to progress as
planned.
2025 is off to a strong start, with particularly
strong performance across our portfolio including our Antimony,
Chrome, Tantalum, Vanadium Aluminum, and Engineering businesses.
Therefore, we increase our adjusted EBITDA outlook from “$130
million, or more, in 2025” to “$150 million, or more, in 2025.”
We are presently updating our 5-year forecast
which we traditionally issue at the Annual General Meeting.
