o In the production of steel, manganese occurs mainly as alloys: on average 6 to

7 kg of manganese are used to make one tonne of steel.

o Utilization as an alloying element improve properties of the steel: hardness,

abrasion resistance, elasticity and surface condition for rolling

o Key component in large range of industries (construction and automobile)

o Manganese is found in minerals and

needs to be transformed for exploitation

(metallurgical valorization)

o Mining operations are carried on open pits

o Manganese has no satisfactory

substitute in its major application in

metallurgy

o If not transformed as manganese alloys, the ore can be used in the form of chemical

derivatives targeting various customers in the chemical industry

Construction Automobile Machine Ship White goods

Agriculture (fertilizers) Ferrites (electronic circuits) Batteries Other varied applications (pigments, fine chemistry)

MARKET TRENDS

INVESTOR PRESENTATION – SEPTEMBER 2017

1 MANGANESE ORE

2

Main market for Manganese: CARBON STEEL

After a record low level in H1 2016, sharp rise in

prices seen in H2 2016 thanks to the recovery in

carbon steel production in China and the

tightening of production by manganese ore

producers.

Prices stable at high levels since early 2017.

Regarding Manganese alloys prices, from their

low point early in the year 2016, prices grew very

strongly and remain currently firm.

Demand for manganese largely depends on

changes in the global production of carbon steel.

Global carbon steel production in H1 2017 grew

by 4.5% compared with H1 2016 and 0.4%

compared with H2 2016.

Momentum continued to be very strong in China.

ERAMET EXPERTISE ON MANGANESE: EXTRACTION AND

PREPARATION

INVESTOR PRESENTATION – SEPTEMBER 2017

The ore is mixed with coke in an electric

furnace. Ferromanganese or

silicomanganese is obtained, which is

used in ERAMET customers’ steel

production processes.

Manganese ore extraction 1

Transport by rail and sea 2

Processing (Alloys) 3

Shipment to chemistry players

End-Application

The raw manganese ore comes from Moanda in Gabon.

After milling and washing, it is partially enriched and

agglomerated

The ore is transported by rail (the Transgabon railway), administered

by SETRAG, a subsidiary of COMILOG, to the port of Owendo near

Libreville, from where it is exported

TRENDS FOR TiO2 FEEDSTOCK AND ZIRCON

25 INVESTOR PRESENTATION – SEPTEMBER 2017

2 ZIRCON

Particularly used for the ceramics market.

The low stock levels and higher demand in China allowed for

price increases which will be effective in H2 2017.

TiO2-Feedstocks (Ilmenite, Rutile, Leucoxene and Titanium

dioxide slag) is mainly used for pigments production.

Price recovery in the market (ilmenite notably), driven by high

demand for pigments.

Future supply will be influenced by the timing of investment

decisions for mine expansions or new supply to provide feed

for beneficiation facilities such as synthetic rutile.

2 o Allied to other elements, it can be used for different applications in growing

industry. Its rich and varied properties are chiefly in alloys, electroplating and

catalyst in organic synthesis

o Stainless market (main market): nickel combined with chromium makes it

corrosion-resistant and more ductile and malleable

o Nickel-based alloys: conception of superalloys for its mechanical

performances and to meet the most stringent requirements (for aerospace

and nuclear power for example)

o Strong development expected on the battery market

o Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard

and ductile

o They are two main types of nickel ore: sulphide ores

(nickel combined with several other metals ie cobalt,

silver etc.) or oxide ores (as in New Caledonia, to be

transformed as ferronickel)

1 NICKEL PRICES REMAINING AT LOW LEVEL

2017 total primary Ni demand expected to face a

robust growth, after a 8% increase in 2016, driven

by all segments: stainless steel, plating and

booming perspectives for batteries

2017 primary Ni supply expected to increase

the growth being fueled by Indonesian NPI ramp-up

(including Tsingshan operations)

Partially constrained by ore supply from Philippines

: -4% in H1 2017 (Government sanctions or bad

weather) and Indonesian allowed shipments

resuming only very slowly

All in all, the balance should result in a greater

deficit than 2016 (-54KT)

Visible stocks (LME and SHFE warehouses) still

stand at a high level. However producers and

distributors inventories are low and there is good

outlook in China, fueling the recent price increase.

growth and is the leading contributor to ERAMET

Alloys.

Products rates for single aisle, both at Boeing and

Airbus are very high (high production output), and

globally order book is full at least for the 5 coming

years at OEMs.

The demand in aircraft is driven by world traffic

Based on the customers’ order,

the production range will be

designed in collaboration with the

various production departments

The raw materials consist of iron,

scraps and off-cuts which are

carefully selected and analyzed

chemically as well as ferro-alloys

Two stages can be distinguished:

primary metallurgy, which consists in

melting the material and secondary

metallurgy, during which the metal is

refined. The metal is then poured into

ingots.

The ingots or capsules produced are

then heated and processed to obtain

semi-finished products, forged parts,

closed-die parts, bars or wires.

The product’s metallurgical structure

is changed by combined heating and

cooling, which makes it possible to

modify its mechanical properties.

Samples are taken for mechanical

testing to ensure that the customer’s

requirements in terms of elasticity,

hardness and tensile strength are met.

The final peeling or milling stages

produce different finishes.

These controls (ultrasonic, magnetic, etc.) ensure the quality of products by revealing

the existence of any type defect that might occur within the material or on its surface.

KEY DEBT ELEMENTS

GEARING TYPE OF GROSS DEBT (AS OF 30/06/2017)

€730m RCF repayment out of €981m as of end

of June 2017 (pro forma)

In July 2017, TiZir (an ERAMET 50% owned

company) issued a new $300m bond (maturing

in July 2022) which will mainly refinance the

previous one scheduled to mature in

September 2017.

The reduction in debt is the result of (i) priority

given by the company to cash generation and

(ii) markets improvement.

ERAMET gearing is in line with the sector

average

o PRODUCTIVITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY o Raise the company’s productivity through measures to increase work time and overhaul organizations.

o Reduce SLN’s energy bill through measures on energy efficiency and the revision of electricity prices.

o RAMP-UP ON SANDOUVILLE NEW MODEL o Successful ramp-up due to the change in matte sourcing.

o Selling nickel metal in whole plates rather than in pieces (better margins).

o ACTIONS FOCUSED ON INDUSTRIAL SET UP AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP o Reconfiguration of the steel melting shops: centralization of the 2 existing steel meltings’ activity on a single one located in Les Ancizes,

closure of the Firminy steel melting shop.

o Maximize capacity utilisation through better availability of the equipment and productivity improvement

o Reduce waste.

o Specialization and optimization of rolling mills: concentration of large diameter rolled products on one site and small diameter rolled products

on another one. Closure of the other rolling mills.

o Improve the customer experience: improve service and business performance.

o ACTION ON COMILOG o Increase of the availability and utilization rates of mining equipments (trucks, shovels) through improved maintenance.

o Increase in the operating rate of the ore processing plant by optimizing operating parameters.

o Renovation plan of the Transgabonese railway (SETRAG).

o OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION PARAMETERS o These optimizations allow half year after half year to increase ERAMET production, as already demonstrated.
