Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer, declared:
"2022 was an excellent year for Vallourec on all fronts - operational, commercial, and financial. First, our New Vallourec strategic plan, launched only in May 2022, accomplished all its key milestones. It is fully on track to generate €230 million of recurring EBITDA uplift, with the full impact starting in Q2 2024.
2023 will be a pivotal year of the New Vallourec plan with the closure of our German plants and the full transfer of the Oil & Gas volumes to Brazil.In addition,since the original launch of the New Vallourec plan in Q2 of 2022, we have identified additionalinitiativeswhich are being implementedworldwide.
We have signed a sale contractfor our Mülheim site in Germany which will realize €40 million in proceeds, while the sale process for our much larger site in Duesseldorf-Rath is progressing(c).
We have partially mitigated the headwind of the waste pile slippage at our Pau Branco iron ore mine by securing alternative solutions to continue operating and minimizing the loss in productionon the Group's results. Weexpectto receive the approval to resume operatingat full capacity at the beginning of Q2 2023.
On the commercial front, we are fully leveraging the positive market conditions of the global Tubes sectorthanks to our unparalleled technological expertise and customer service. We have secured several important commercial wins this year, most recently with Petrobras and LLOG, showcasing the excellence of our innovative solutions.
Finally, we delivered a strong set of results fully in line with our objectives, withan EBITDA of €715 million over the Full Year 2022, a positive Free Cash Flow of €185 million forthe Second Half, both driven by a strong Fourth Quarter performance, enabling us to reduce Net Debt(a) (b). In 2023, whichwill be a key year in the New Vallourec plan, we expect to continue on this positive trajectorywitha further increase in EBITDA, positive Free Cash Flow generation, and furtherreduction in Net Debt(a) (b).
I am extremely proud to be at the helm of Vallourec to lead its transformation, and together with our committed employees, look forward to the coming year with confidence and enthusiasm."

- Sales, general and administrative costs (SG&A) of €89 million or 5.8% of revenues, versus 7.8% in Q4 2021.
- Sales, general and administrative costs (SG&A) of €89 million or 5.8% of revenues, versus 7.8% in Q4 2021.

Over the Full Year 2022, EBITDA amounted to€715 million, a €223 million increase year-on-year, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 14.6%. The EBITDA increase reflects:
- An industrial margin of €1,076 million or 22% of revenues, up €239 million compared with FY 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.
- Sales, general and administrative costs (SG&A) of €349 million, or 7.2% of revenues, versus €316 million and 9.2% of revenues in FY 2021.
Operating income was negative at €(122) million compared with €374 million in FY 2021, resulting mainly from provisions related to the adaptation measures (European social plans and associated fees) and, to a lesser extent, from provisions for non-recurring costs related to the iron ore mine incident.

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 slippage at its Cachoeirinha waste pile. Operations were partially restarted in May using alternative waste piles, albeit at lower-than-normal capacity levels. Volumes sold in 2022 amounted to 4.0 million tonnes, slightly ahead of estimates given at the Q3 2022 results release.
Permissions have been secured to continue using alternative waste piles until the beginning of Q2 2023. In parallel, the Group has finalized all civil works required to achieve a minimum safety factor and applied for its release. The solidity of the structure was confirmed during the rainy season.
For Q1 2023, Vallourec estimates production of approximately 1.5 million tonnes. The release of the core waste pile and resumption of normal operations is expected at the beginning of Q2 2023.
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 the full impact starting in Q2 2024. It will contribute to making the Group cycle-proof and generating positive Free Cash Flow, before change in working capital, even at the bottom of the cycle. (a)f
In 2022 firm social agreements were secured in France, Germany, and the UK, substantially de-risking the plan and allowing our teams to focus on execution. Employees at the sites to be closed or downsized will begin to leave the company in Q1 of 2023 with the last wave of departures in 2024. The industrial CAPEX plan in Brazil is on track to ensure the full transfer of Oil & Gas volumes from Germany throughout the course of 2023.
In February 2023 we signed a contract to sell our Mülheim site for €40 million (c). The sale process for our much larger site in Duesseldorf-Rath is ongoing. g
Moreover, we are implementing New Vallourec initiatives in other geographies, including Brazil, as well as production increases in the U.S. 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 over the cycle.
OUTLOOK 2023
Based on our market assumptions, as well as our progress throughout 2022, we are confident that 2023 will see a further significant enhancement in our financial results, with notably:
- An improvement in EBITDA, which will be driven by both our Tubes business and Mine and Forest business
- After a positive Free Cash Flow generation in H2 2022, our ambition is to be also Free Cash Flow positive for the Full Year 2023. This is despite CAPEX of around 220 million euros and the expected one-time New Vallourec restructuring cash outflows of about 350 million euros (a)7
- And we expect further Net Debt reduction in 2023 (b)h
