Edouard Guinotte, Chairman of the Management Board, declared:
Despite the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic all over the world and remaining uncertainties around its evolution, the acceleration of the vaccination campaign in many countries provides with reinforced optimism about the global economic recovery. In past weeks, the Group's prospects have improved with regard to expected OCTG volumes and prices in North America, as well as to the iron ore mine contribution in Brazil. This led us to increase our 2021 outlook.
Our Q1 EBITDA was up year-on-year, as the result of the savings initiatives deployed across the Group, and the higher results of the iron ore mine.
Following its approval by our creditors and shareholders, the financial restructuring plan was approved by the Commercial Court of Nanterre on May 19th, 2021, which paves the way for its completion planned on June 30th, 2021.
Completing our financial restructuring will ensure a leaner financial structure, enabling us, with the support of our new reference shareholders Apollo and SVPGlobal, to roll out our strategic plan. First, we aim to reinforce the profitability of our core business by implementing additional cost savings, maximizing the utilization of our most competitive routes, as well as continuing to innovate in our core business. Secondly, we will create additional value by further exploiting the potential of our mine in Brazil and innovating in the energy transition.
The launch of a €300m rights issue, planned in early June, will offer our shareholders the opportunity to accompany Vallourec on this path to value creation.

| Total | 702 | 853 | -17.7% | -5.2% | 830 |
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Over the first quarter of 2021, Vallourec reported a €702 million revenue, down 18% compared with Q1 2020 (- 5% at constant exchange rates) with:
- a -20% volume impact mainly driven by Oil & Gas in North America and, to a lesser extent, in EA-MEA, while Industry & Other volume were up both in Europe and Brazil
- a +15% price/mix effect reflecting a better price/mix in South America and the higher contribution of our iron ore mine
- a -13% currency conversion effect mainly related to EUR/BRL.
Oil & Gas, Petrochemicals (58% of Q1 2021 consolidated revenue)
In Q1 2021, Oil & Gas revenue totaled €364 million, a (€188) million decrease or -34% year-on-year (-26% at constant exchange rates).
- In North America, Oil & Gas revenue decrease was driven by lower deliveries and prices compared to Q1 2020.
- In EA-MEA, Oil & Gas revenue decrease reflected mainly lower volumes.
- In South America, Oil & Gas revenue increase, despite an unfavorable currency conversion effect, reflected higher volumes and price/mix.
In Q1 2021, Petrochemicals revenue was €46 million, down 24% year-on-year (-15% at constant exchange rates) notably due to lower deliveries in North America and in EA-MEA.
In Q1 2021, revenue for Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals amounted to €410 million, down 33% year-on-year
(-25% at constant exchange rates).
Industry & Other (36% of Q1 2021 consolidated revenue)
Industry & Other revenue amounted to €255 million in Q1 2021, up 32% year-on-year (+61% at constant exchange rates):
- In Europe, Industry revenue was up, driven by higher volumes
- In South America, Industry & Other revenue was up, on account of higher revenue from the iron ore mine reflecting both higher prices and volumes which reached 1.9Mt (up 28% versus Q1 2020), as well as of higher sales in the Industry market driven by increased volumes and prices, despite an unfavorable currency conversion effect.
Power Generation (5% of Q1 2021 consolidated revenue)
Power Generation revenue amounted to €37 million in Q1 2021, down 22% year-on-year (-19% at constant exchange rates), reflecting the closure of the Reisholz facility mid-2020.
II – Q1 2021 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS ANALYSIS
In Q1 2021, EBITDA increased to €80 million compared with €68 million in Q1 2020. EBITDA margin improved to 11.4% of revenue versus 8.0% in Q1 2020, as a result of:
- A €168 million industrial margin, slightly up compared with €161 million in Q1 2020, increasing at 23.9% of revenue versus 18.9%. The higher mine contribution, combined with results from savings initiatives launched across the Group, more than offset the effect of the decrease in the Oil & Gas activity in EA-MEA and in North America.
- A 14% decrease in sales, general and administrative costs (SG&A) at €77 million or 11.0% of revenues, reflecting our cost savings measures.
At €27 million, operating result was positive versus a (€29) million loss of in Q1 2020, reflecting, in addition to higher EBITDA, limited restructuring charges as well as lower depreciation and amortization.
Financial result was negative at (€82) million, compared with (€35) million in Q1 2020 (which was positively impacted by the settlement of a dispute in Brazil for €26 million). While net interest expenses remained stable, the financial result recorded the accelerated amortization of existing bonds costs for (€16) million and (€7) million of debt restructuring fees incurred to date.
Income tax amounted to (€40) million mainly related to activities in Brazil, versus (€20) million in Q1 2020.
This resulted in a (€93) million net loss (Group share), versus (€74) million in Q1 2020.
III - CASH FLOW, NET DEBT AND LIQUIDITY
Cash flow from operating activities
In Q1 2021, cash flow from operating activities was positive at €13 million, compared with (€31) million in Q1 2020; the improvement reflected mainly the increased EBITDA and the freeze on payment of financial interests under the safeguard proceeding period opened on February 4th (for an amount of €44 million of accrued interests), partly offset by the non-recurring positive effect in Q1 2020 of the settlement of a dispute in Brazil for €26 million.
Operating working capital requirement
Operating working capital requirement increased by €47 million in Q1 2021, versus a €119 million increase of in Q1 2020, reflecting a good performance in net working capital management - at 104 days of sales, compared with 119 days in Q1 2020 - and benefiting from NSC’s payment of its residual fixed costs coverage obligation following the sale of its share in VSB, in Brazil, for €34 million.
Capex
Gross capital expenditure was (€28) million in Q1 2021, compared with (€31) million in Q1 2020, in line with usual capital expenditure calendarization.
Free cash flow
As a result, in Q1 2021, free cash flow was negative at (€62) million versus (€181) million in Q1 2020.
Asset disposals & other items
Asset disposals & other items amounted to (€89) million in Q1 2021, reflecting mainly accrued interests related to the financial restructuring for (€44) million, the accelerated amortization of existing bonds costs for (€16) million, the last reimbursement of NSC shareholder loan to VSB for (€9) million and the acquisition of NSC shares in VSB for (€7) million.
Net debt and liquidity
As at March 31st 2021, net debt stood at €2,364 million, versus €2,214 million as at December 31st 2020.
As at March 31st 2021, lease debt stood at €103 million, versus €108 million as at December 31st 2020.
As at March 31st 2021, cash amounted to €1,242 million, versus €1,390m as at December 31st 2020.
At the same date, long-term debt amounted to €9 million and short-term debt totaled €3,597 million reflecting the reclassification of bonds from long-term to short-term debt as a result of the ongoing financial restructuring.
Assets disposal for sale
As at March 31st 2021, €92 million of assets were recorded for sale and were mainly related to nuclear activities. The disposal of Valinox Nucléaire SAS should take place during the first half of 2021.
IV – 2021 OUTLOOK
Oil & Gas
In North America, the OCTG market is showing a progressive improvement with higher prices and volumes.
In EA-MEA, in addition to the overall activity still strongly impacted by the pandemic and price/mix remaining under pressure, the sharp decline in deliveries of high alloy products will negatively impact revenue and margin. Nevertheless, resuming tendering activity in 2021 should translate into higher 2022 activity.
In Brazil, Oil & Gas deliveries are expected to increase compared with 2020.
Industry & Other
In Europe, economic recovery is underway and should continue having a positive impact on our activity.
In Brazil, the overall level of activity is expected to continue increasing.
A higher contribution is expected from the iron ore mine, although prices are expected to gradually decrease along the year.
Cost savings
Cost saving initiatives will enable the Group to continue to lower its cost base.
A strict cash control will be maintained, with a capex envelope of c.€160 million.
Based on these perspectives, Vallourec has released on April 30th an upgraded outlook for full year 2021:
- €350 to €400 million targeted EBITDA
- (€340) to (€260) million targeted free cash flow
- The new free cash flow objective includes a c.€65 million additional cash outflow, resulting from exercising the repurchase option for the debt of the lease contract (DBOT) in Brazil.
V – WRITING A NEW CHAPTER FOR VALLOUREC: ROBUST STRATEGIC PLAN SUPPORTED BY STRENGTHENED BALANCE SHEET
Further enhance profitability: cost measures and value additive services
Maximizing the utilization of our most competitive routes
Brazilian activities have been streamlined and major savings have been made. VSB which is our flagship for export, is qualified by Majors for premium OCTG products.
Tianda, acquired at the end of 2016, is now fully integrated within Vallourec’s global network. Tianda is now qualified by Majors and national oil companies for conventional premium and targets premium production to represent 45% of its total production by 2025, compared with 23% in 2020.
The Group is targeting a utilization rate of new routes2 for premium Oil & Gas demand in the EA-MEA regions of approximately 74% in 2025.
€400m additional gross savings by 2025
To strengthen its competitiveness, Vallourec is targeting €400m additional gross cost savings by 2025. This cost savings potential is confirmed in the 2021-2025 industrial roadmap relying on more than 250 initiatives identified and monitored at Group level, including:
- Process improvement through the deployment of Industry 4.0 tools, data analytics, and intensification of lean initiatives.
- Sourcing initiatives including spend control tower and low-cost countries procurement.
This industrial roadmap is empowered by specific actions at regional level:
- In Europe, the production capacity is being adapted to planned demand, including the closure of Deville site, a social plan across French sites and structural measures on working time and shift pattern in Germany.
- In Brazil, the execution of the full cost reduction potential at the steel plant, the optimization of the production flows within and across the sites and the internalization of key functions.
- In North America, the maximum use of the most competitive flows by debottlenecking and internalization initiatives and the strengthening of the operations agility to cope with market volatility.
Technological edge and brand recognition at the heart of Vallourec’s Strategy
The Group also intends to capture incremental revenues by leveraging its technological edge and brand recognition to develop new products and solutions.
Thanks to its proven know-how, supported by five dedicated R&D centers in Europe, Brazil and the US, and 430 researchers and technicians, the Group enjoys a leading position in premium OCTG connections with VAM® product family, co-developed with Nippon Steel.
Vallourec continues to innovate and maintain its technological leadership: it successfully launched new connections such as VAM® Sprint-SF, VAM® Sprint-FJ or VAM® SLIJ-3 and developed new steel grades offering higher corrosion resistance, strong robustness at low temperatures and exceptional weldability.
Vallourec multiplies collaborations with its customers and start-ups to develop innovative solutions for them as recently demonstrated by the first 3D-printed safety-critical component delivered to Total in the North Sea.
Complemented by a range of services combining on-site assistance and digital solutions.
Vallourec’s technical excellence will be completed by a wide range of services and digital solutions.
The Group’s ambition is to use service as a differentiating factor for its historical product lines and diversify by developing new services supported by digital technology and the SmartengoTM brand.
It brings together the physical services offered to our customers: teams of on-site engineers, customer supply chain optimization services, and the incubation and development of a complementary and stand-alone digital offering.
Supportive medium-term trends in our core markets based on clear fundamentals
Oil& Gas
Global oil demand is generally expected to rebound above 100mb/d, together with stock drawdown and natural field depletion, and will lead to E&P capex recovery notably in Vallourec’s key regions: Middle-East, Brazil, United States and China.
In North America, 2021 drilling activity recovery (+190 rigs in the US from 08/2020) is expected to continue in 2022 as inventories and DUCs will decrease. The drilling recovery is however limited by end user's capital discipline and drilling efficiencies. Price recovery starting in 2021 is supported by the balance of domestic supply and demand, as well as raw materials surge. Additionally, the market is experiencing a consolidation of competition and distribution. The reduction of welded pipe capacity should also positively impact the share of seamless pipe.
In South America, and in particular in offshore Brazil, Petrobras is focusing its E&P CAPEX on the development of its core pre-salt projects and demand is exclusively for high-end premium. The PLP offshore projects trend is also positive and Guyana development is offering additional opportunities.
In EA-MEA, the market is suffering from the strong impact of the crisis in 2020-2021. The market recovery in volume is expected to take place as from 2022 especially in winning regions (Middle-East and East-Africa) as E&P Capex are released. The competition intensity should keep prices under pressure across the regions.
Industry & Other
Brazilian Industry is quickly recovering. Long-term moderate growth should be supported by competitiveness of the Brazilian industry.
Iron ore prices are currently favorable but are expected to decrease gradually. The start-up of a new treatment line is expected by end 2021.
European Industry market collapsed in 2020 but is following a V-shape recovery in 2021. A moderate growth is forecasted after restocking in 2021.
Activate additional levers of value creation
Exploiting the full potential of our mine in Brazil: new iron ore treatment line by the end of 2021
The expansion of the iron ore mine production capacity in Brazil for an investment of around €60 million is in progress, with a start-up expected by the end of 2021. This will lead to a total production of 8.7 Mt/year as from 2022. With its very competitive cost structure, the mine is highly profitable.
Innovating in low carbon energy solutions to seize energy transition growth opportunities
The Group targets to seize opportunities related to the energy transition by developing solutions in the following areas: geothermal, offshore wind, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), hydrogen and solar power.
Vallourec will draw on its industrial expertise, innovation capacities, and relationship with customers committed to the energy transition to take advantage of these opportunities. Vallourec has set up a dedicated structure to conduct innovative projects and is already present in each of these identified segments:
- Regarding geothermal energy, Vallourec is adapting its Oil & Gas expertise to support the growth of our geothermal clients in demanding environments (corrosion, high temperature).
- Regarding wind offshore, Vallourec provides secondary steel structures foundations for wind turbines as well as tubular structures for jackets and wind turbine installation vessels and cranes.
- The Group is contributing to the safe deployment of CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) infrastructure. Vallourec’s line pipes allow for safe transport of CO2 and its OCTG products are suitable for injecting CO2 underground.
- Regarding hydrogen, Vallourec is providing tubular solutions for hydrogen projects – transportation, distribution and storage – that require a high level of water tightness and corrosion resistance.
- Vallourec assists solar actors by providing optimized tubular structures of supporting solar panels for large-scale structures such as parking lots shade structures and agricultural and industrial hangars.
A leaner financial structure to execute the strategic plan
This strategic plan will be rolled out within the framework of a leaner financial structure following the completion of the financial restructuring. Hence, the debt will be reduced by €1.8 billion leading to a suitable 2020 proforma net leverage of c1.6x. Financial charges will be reduced by c.€110m on a full-year basis resulting from the new debt structure and the termination of the DBOT lease contract (representing c.€20m reduction in financial charges). Finally, the new normative Capex envelope for the coming years will be contained under €200 million thanks to a state-of-art industrial footprint.
VI – €300M RIGHTS ISSUE TO ACCOMPANY VALLOUREC ON THE IDENTIFIED PATH TO VALUE CREATION
As approved by the shareholders during the AGM and subject to the approval by the AMF of the related prospectus, Vallourec will launch a €300m rights issue with preferential rights beginning of June.
The €5.66 subscription price of the rights issue reflects a 30% discount compared to the price of the capital increase reserved to the Converting creditors of €8.09 per new share.
Bpifrance Participations and Nippon Steel Corporation have already undertaken to subscribe for respectively €20 million and €35 million.
This rights issue will lead to the issuance of c. 53 million new shares which will represent c. 23% of the share capital post financial restructuring before the exercise of warrants (c. 20% after).
The rights issue will be backstopped by the Converting Creditors by way of set-off debt against claims and the cash proceeds will be used to repay a portion of the Converting Creditors’ claims.
