Eramet: response to rumours about its subsidiary Aubert & Duval

Paris, 22 June 2020, 12:00 pmPRESS RELEASEEramet: response to rumours about its subsidiary Aubert & DuvalFollowing a press release this morning, Eramet group would like to provide some details as follows.The current crisis due to Covid-19 is unprecedented, with a lasting impact on the global economy. The very significant slowdown of the aerospace sector weighs strongly on the activity of Aubert & Duval (“A&D”), Eramet’s subsidiary. The decrease in the production rates of the aerospace industry, notably Airbus which announced an approximately one-third cut in production versus pre-crisis level, should indeed have a strong and lasting impact on A&D’s activity. Aerospace sales account for more than 70% of the subsidiary’s turnover.A&D’s sites are facing a strong slowdown, and the production rate of each workshop is adjusted on a regular basis. Sales were down 50% in April and in May. Based on the latest forecast, A&D turnover should decrease by approximately 20 % in 2020 compared to 2019, which will weigh on its financial performance and situation.In this context, the Group has initiated a detailed strategic review regarding its subsidiary, A&D, all options being considered.The Group will communicate in due course in compliance with relevant regulation.Eramet will update the market on the Covid-19 crisis impact when releasing the H1 2020 Group results.Calendar29/07/2020: Publication of Group 2020 half-year results28/10/2020: Publication of Group 2020 third-quarter sales
