CEO Comments
"Our year-over-year performance for the fourth quarter was impacted by higher costs, softer industry demand and the impact of the temporary suspension of our operations in Mexico," said Marcel Kessler, Chief Executive Officer and President. “As we announced in November, we are pleased to have reached an agreement that allowed for the restart of our Monterrey, Mexico facility. While our activities to ramp back up are proceeding according to plan, we expect the negative impact of the suspension, ongoing inflationary pressures and the effects of slowing global economic growth on our operating performance in 2023 will be significant, particularly in the first half of the year."
"We remain disciplined in our approach to managing costs and allocating capital," said Mr. Kessler. "We are aligning our production to reflect current market demand while remaining focused on delivering excellent customer service and being highly responsive to customers' needs. As we look ahead, we have identified opportunities to make targeted investments to strengthen our strategic position, commercial capabilities and product offerings. Through execution of these cost actions and investments, we are confident GrafTech will successfully navigate the near-term environment and emerge well positioned to benefit from the anticipated long-term demand growth for graphite electrodes."

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $248 million, a decrease of 32% compared to $363 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volume, reflecting the impact of the temporary suspension of our operations in Monterrey, Mexico, and softness in graphite electrode demand. The lower volume was partially offset by improved pricing on volume derived from short-term agreements and spot sales ("non-LTA").
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $50 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $141 million, or $0.54 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $80 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $183 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, with the decline primarily reflecting lower sales volume and higher costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin(3) was 32% for the fourth quarter of 2022.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, cash flow from operating activities was $50 million and adjusted free cash flow(2) was $23 million, with both measures decreasing compared to the same period in 2021 primarily driven by lower net income partially offset by a reduction in net cash used for working capital.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net sales decreased 5% compared to the prior year, reflecting lower sales volume and a shift in the mix of our business from volume derived from our take-or-pay agreements that had initial terms of three-to-five years ("LTA") to non-LTA volume, partially offset by improved pricing on non-LTA volume. Net income for 2022 was $383 million, or $1.48 per share, compared to $388 million, or $1.46 per share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA(2) for 2022 was $536 million, compared to $670 million in the prior year, with the decline primarily reflecting higher costs and lower sales volume. Cash flow from operating activities for 2022 was $325 million, compared to $443 million in the prior year, with the decline primarily due to an increase in cash used for working capital.

Capital Structure and Capital Allocation
As of December 31, 2022, GrafTech had cash and cash equivalents of $135 million and total debt of approximately $922 million. The Company is focused on maintaining a disciplined capital allocation strategy as we recover from the Monterrey suspension while making targeted investments to support long-term growth. In the second half of 2022, we retained nearly all of our free cash flow to increase the Company's liquidity position by approximately $80 million since the end of the second quarter of 2022. In the first half of the year, we repaid $110 million of our long-term debt and repurchased 6.7 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $60 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our capital expenditures were $72 million. Our capital expenditures in 2023 are expected to be in the range of $55 million to $60 million.
Outlook
As we enter 2023, we anticipate continued soft demand for graphite electrodes due to ongoing economic uncertainty and geopolitical conflict. In addition, we expect the suspension of our operations in Monterrey, Mexico in late 2022 will have a significant impact on our sales volume for the first half of 2023. Although the facility has resumed production, the suspension resulted in uncertainty during a key commitment window for customer purchases covering the first six months of 2023.
Reflecting these factors, we estimate our sales volume for the first six months of 2023 will be approximately half of the level reported in the same period of 2022, with the largest impact occurring in the first quarter. As we proceed into the second half of the year, we expect sales volume levels to recover, as we move past Monterrey suspension-driven uncertainty and anticipate that a gradual improvement in market conditions will strengthen demand for graphite electrodes.
In 2023, we expect a significant year-over-year increase in our cost of goods sold per metric ton as fixed costs will be recognized over a smaller volume base and reflecting the full year impact of higher raw material costs that increased throughout 2022. In response, we are closely managing all of our operating costs and capital expenditures, as well as our working capital levels. Towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, we began proactively reducing production at our European graphite electrode manufacturing facilities, to align our production volume with our current demand outlook.
Longer term, we remain confident that the steel industry’s accelerating efforts to decarbonize will lead to increased adoption of the electric arc furnace method of steelmaking, driving long-term demand growth for graphite electrodes. We believe that the near-term actions we are taking, supported by an industry-leading position and our sustainable competitive advantages, will optimally position GrafTech to benefit from that long-term growth.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Non‑GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we have provided certain financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures.

We define EBITDA, a non‑GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss plus interest expense, minus interest income, plus income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus any pension and other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") plan expenses, adjustments for public offerings and related expenses, non‑cash gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement of non‑operating assets and liabilities in our foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash fixed asset write-offs, related party payable - Tax Receivable Agreement adjustments, Change in Control charges that were triggered as a result of the ownership of our largest stockholder falling below 30% of our total outstanding shares and gains from the settlement of a value-added tax matter in Brazil. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary metric used by our management and our Board of Directors to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. For purposes of this release, a Change in Control occurred when Brookfield and any affiliates thereof ceased to own stock of the Company that constitutes at least thirty percent (30%) or thirty-five percent (35%), as applicable, of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company (the "Change in Control").
We monitor adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to our GAAP measures, and believe it is useful to present to investors, because we believe that it facilitates evaluation of our period‑to‑period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature, allowing comparison of our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods unaffected by differences in capital structure, capital investment cycles and fixed asset base. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also a non-GAAP financial measure used by our management and our Board of Directors as supplemental information to assess the Company’s operational performance and is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. In addition, we believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies, and other parties in evaluating companies in our industry as a measure of financial performance and debt‑service capabilities. We also monitor the ratio of total debt to trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a useful and widely used way to assess our leverage.

Our use of adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures for capital equipment or other contractual commitments, including any capital expenditure requirements to augment or replace our capital assets;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;
9
EXHIBIT 99.1
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect expenses relating to our pension and OPEB plans;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect public offerings and related expenses;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non‑cash gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement of non‑operating assets and liabilities in our foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect stock-based compensation expense;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the non‑cash write‑off of fixed assets;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect related party payable - Tax Receivable Agreement adjustments;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Change in Control charges;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect gains from the settlement of a value-added tax matter in Brazil; and
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We define adjusted net income, a non‑GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss, excluding the items used to calculate adjusted EBITDA, less the tax effect of those adjustments. We define adjusted EPS, a non‑GAAP financial measure, as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are useful to present to investors because we believe that they assist investors’ understanding of the underlying operational profitability of the Company.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, non-GAAP financial measures, are metrics used by our management and our Board of Directors to analyze cash flows generated from operations. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We define adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow adjusted by payments of the Change in Control charges that were triggered as a result of the ownership of our largest stockholder falling below 30% of our total outstanding shares. We believe these free cash flow metrics are useful to present to investors because we believe that they facilitate comparison of the Company’s performance with its competitors.

In evaluating EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, you should be aware that in the future, we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the reconciliations presented below, other than the Change in Control charges. Our presentations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be construed as suggesting that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non‑recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow alongside other measures of financial performance and liquidity, including our net income, EPS and cash flow from operating activities, respectively, and other GAAP measures.
