Amsterdam, 6 May 2026 (Regulated Information) --- AMG Critical Materials N.V. (“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) reports first quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $44 million. This was a 2% improvement compared to the $43 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and exceeded our guidance that the first quarter 2026 would be down sequentially. This better-than-expected performance in the current quarter was mainly driven by AMG Vanadium which included the consolidation of AURA beginning January 1, 2026. Beyond circular molybdenum, AURA brought recycled tungsten into our critical materials portfolio, and the tungsten price performance helped their results. Despite anticipated lower cash generation at the beginning of the year, AMG ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet highlighted by our $403 million of total liquidity as of March 31, 2026. This figure does not include the $127 million of proceeds from the capital increase.
