* Decisions by the Board of Directors
At the Board Meeting which followed the General Meeting, Mr Patrick BUFFET was
unanimously renewed in his duties as Chairman & CEO of ERAMET.
Mr Georges DUVAL, Mr Bertrand MADELIN and Mr Philippe VECTEN were renewed as
Delegate CEOs in charge of the Alloys, Nickel and Manganese divisions,
respectively.
* Patrick Buffet, Chairman & CEO of the ERAMET Group, stated:
"In 2014, in a context of difficult markets, the Group's current operating
income improved significantly compared with 2013, from - ?45 million to + ?75
million. The year was marked by substantially greater productivity gains and
cost reductions, which together amounted to more than ?100 million.
Since the start of 2015, nickel and manganese prices have decreased
significantly compared with 2014, which will necessarily weigh on the Group's
performance in the first half.
On every level in the Group, the priority is maintained to continuously improve
performance in order to emerge from the metals sector's highly depressed current
environment with greater competitiveness.
ERAMET has a strong financial situation and approximately ?2 billion in
financial liquidity.
I have every confidence in ERAMET's future and in its ability to create value in
our businesses, which are fundamentally profitable over the medium and long
term, for our shareholders and all our stakeholders."
