Third Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights
Net Sales
| • | Consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2012 of $39.5 million decreased $7.1 million, or 15.2% from the third quarter of 2011, which consists of $32.6 million of sales reported by the AGY US business segment (“AGY US”) and $6.9 million of sales reported by the AGY Asia business segment (“AGY Asia”). AGY US net sales in the third quarter of 2012 decreased $6.9 million, or 17.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2011. AGY Asia’s contribution to consolidated net sales in the third quarter of 2012 decreased $0.2 million, or 2.1% compared to the third quarter of 2011 level (after accounting for the elimination of intercompany sales). |
| • | The decrease in AGY US net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volumes offset by continued favorable mix gains resulting from a greater focus on sale of specialty materials and product rationalization efforts. The lower demand affected primarily the Electronics market, which remained depressed and subject to competitive pressure and the Industrial market due to weak market conditions and global economic uncertainty, which prompted customers to reduce inventory holdings in the supply chain of key applications. Sales into the Defense market decreased year-over-year due to fewer international structural armor programs but remain above our expectations on a year-to-date basis. The aerospace market remained robust through the third quarter of 2012, with an on-going bias toward lighter-weight interior materials. |
| • | The decrease in AGY Asia net sales was primarily driven by lower sales volumes and average selling price due to the softer Asian electronic market in 2012. |
Operating Results
| • | Consolidated loss from operations was $14.5 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to a loss of $1.9 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusting for the impact of restructuring charges of $1.9 million and $0.4 million for AGY US and AGY Asia, respectively, the AGY Asia long-lived assets impairment charge of $13.7 million, AGY US and AGY Asia operating results increased by $2.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. |
| • | Quarterly operating results for AGY US improved year-over-year primarily due to decreased manufacturing costs from the execution of operational efficiency improvement projects and cost control initiatives in a more stable manufacturing environment. Additionally, results were positively impacted by lower metal operating losses due to the timing of metal recoveries, a decrease in cost of goods sold due primarily improved operating performance and the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses resulting primarily from lower headcount related expenses. These gains were partially offset by lower sales volumes as noted above. |
| • | Quarterly AGY Asia operating results improved year-over-year primarily due to lower depreciation expense resulting from a lower carrying value after the 2011 impairment charge recorded against the AGY Asia long-lived assets. Partially offsetting this gain was lower margin from sales and inflation in labor and energy costs at the AGY Asia manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China. |
Adjusted EBITDA
| • | Adjusted EBITDA attributable to AGY Holding Corp. (which excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the 30% non-controlling interest in AGY Asia) was $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. AGY US third quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.9 million increased $1.6 million as compared to the third quarter of 2011 and AGY Asia third quarter 2012 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to AGY Holding Corp. of $0.8 million decreased $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2011. |

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
| • | As of September 30, 2012, AGY US’s cash balance and total debt, net of cash, were $0.8 million and $201.2 million, respectively. Compared to December 31, 2011, the $4.7 million increase in net debt was primarily attributable to $3.1 million in debt issuance costs and restricted cash to provide collateral support for equipment leases in conjunction with the recent amendment of AGY US’s Amended Credit Facility, the payment of $4.8 million of restructuring fees, and $1.3 million of capital spending, partly offset by $4.5 million of other operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2012, AGY US had total liquidity of approximately $26.4 million. |
| • | As of September 30, 2012, AGY Asia’s cash balance and total debt, net of cash, were $3.8 million and $36.1 million, respectively, representing a $2.5 million decrease in net debt compared to December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, AGY Asia had total liquidity of approximately $3.8 million, consisting only of unrestricted cash as the AGY Asia lender terminated access to undrawn borrowing availability under the AGY Asia financing agreements. The lender recently agreed to extend the maturity of the working capital loan facility to April 2013 and amended the term loan amortization to defer the April and October 2012 required principal payments totaling $10.5 million to April 2013, with down payments of $0.25 million, due in each of October 2012 and January 2013, provided that continued substantial progress on the AGY Asia refinancing, recapitalization or change in control is made. |
Other Highlights
| • | As previously discussed in April 2012, AGY retained an advisory firm to provide certain investment banking services to evaluate and assist with a possible combination of AGY Asia with another party, a recapitalization of a significant portion of AGY Asia’s indebtedness or a change in control of AGY Asia in a transaction involving the primary lender for the AGY Asia operations. The Company entered into negotiations with selected bidders and the Company’s efforts to pursue a transaction, including the potential sale of this segment, are progressing. |
| • | AGY has also retained an advisory firm to lead the sale process of its CFM business, including the wound products and conductive roving business located in its Huntingdon Pennsylvania facilities. Several potential buyers have been identified and the sales process is moving forward. AGY believes that the re-alignment of its product portfolio following completion of this sale process will allow AGY to return to its core capabilities and focus on its specialty materials products. |

Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(Dollars in thousands)
The Company’s management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to measure operating performance.
The most directly comparable financial measure determined under GAAP is net income (loss), the calculation of which for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is set forth in Appendix B.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which are defined below) are reconciled from net income (loss) determined under GAAP as follows:

EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure used by management to measure operating performance. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative (a) to net income as a measure of operating performance or (b) to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service requirements. Management believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of operating management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. In addition, management believes that EBITDA provides more comparability between our historical results and our recent results that reflect purchase accounting and changes in our capital structure. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance and calculated in the same manner as “Consolidated Cash Flow” under the indenture governing our Notes, which is used by management in calculating our fixed charge coverage ratio under the indenture governing our Notes. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors.
