Nabaltec AG with continued solid earnings power and a slight decline in
revenues in the third quarter of 2025

  * Consolidated revenues in the first nine months of 2025 at EUR 155.1
    million, compared to EUR 158.2 million in the same period of the
    previous year (-1.9%)

  * EBIT in the first nine months of 2025 at EUR 14.0 million (down 16.8%);
    EBIT margin 9.0%

  * Forecast for 2025: Revenue decrease for 2025 as a whole of up to 2%
    compared to previous year; EBIT margin in a range of 7% to 9%

Schwandorf, 20 November 2025 - Nabaltec AG published its interim report for
the third quarter 2025 today. Accordingly, the company achieved consolidated
revenues of EUR 155.1 million in the first nine months, corresponding to a
decline of 1.9% compared to the same period of last year (EUR 158.2
million). Revenues in the third quarter 2025 amounted to EUR 48.6 million,
compared to EUR 49.8 million in the same period from the previous year (down
2.4%). In particular, currency effects and increased market uncertainties
due to US tariff policy have had a negative impact on revenues in the
current financial year. Furthermore, the persistently weak demand for
products for the refractory industry and e-mobility will have a negative
impact on the revenue performance.

"The current financial year continues to reflect a challenging market
environment, characterized by customers' volatile and short-term ordering
behavior," reports Johannes Heckmann, CEO of Nabaltec AG. "A positive aspect
in this demanding market situation is the fact that, thanks to optimized
costs, we were able to demonstrate solid earning power in the nine-month
period, with an EBIT margin of 9.0%."

The company generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) of EUR 22.6 million in the first nine months of the
year. In the same period of the previous year, EBITDA amounted to EUR 25.8
million (down 12.4%). The EBITDA margin (EBITDA as a percentage of total
performance) reached 14.5 % in the first nine months of 2025. In the
corresponding period, the operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 14.0
million after EUR 16.8 million in the same period of the previous year (down
16.8%), with the EBIT margin (EBIT as a percentage of total performance)
remaining at a solid level of 9.0%.

Nabaltec's revenues by product segment developed as follows in the first
nine months 2025: Revenues in the "Functional Fillers" product segment
amounted to EUR 113.7 million in the first nine months, compared to EUR
114.1 million in the same period last year (down 0.4%). Revenues for the
third quarter of 2025 amounted to EUR 35.2 million after EUR 35.9 million in
the third quarter of the previous year (down 1.7%). Sales in the boehmites
product range continued to decline in the reporting period. In contrast, the
ground hydrates product range recorded growth and sales volumes in the
viscosity optimized hydrates product range also increased once again. The
"Specialty Aluminas" product segment contributed to consolidated revenues in
the first nine months 2025 with revenues of EUR 41.4 million, compared to
EUR 44.1 million in the same period from the previous year (down 6.0%). In
the third quarter of 2025, Nabaltec generated revenues of EUR 13.4 million
in this product segment, compared to EUR 13.9 million in the same period of
the previous year (down 4.0%). The persistent weakness of the steel industry
continues to leave a clear impact on the "Specialty Aluminas" product
segment.

Nabaltec AG no longer expects the economic framework conditions to improve
for 2025 as a whole. Nabaltec's revenue forecast, which was adjusted during
the year in July, predicts a decline in revenue of up to 2% for 2025 as a
whole. The EBIT margin is still expected to be in a range of 7% to 9%.

"With our broad product range, we are excellently positioned for what we
hope will soon be an economic upturn in Germany and Europe. Our targeted
investments in recent years have also paved the way for us to use our
facilities optimally and as flexibly as possible according to the order
situation," said Johannes Heckmann.
