Umicore Precious Metals Refining is mainly a positive net value recycler ⇒ Customers are incentivised to come to Umicore for the return they get Regulation helps where the incentive on an individual basis is low (e.g. e-scrap)
In case of negative net value recycling, government incentives or legislation is needed This can be for certain supply streams (e.g. battery recycling), and for certain metals in the supply
29 Pricing mechanism
RAW MATERIAL Umicore offers a treatment and refining service to the raw SUPPLIER material supplier, returning the metal (value) to the supplier → Toll refining or purchase contracts Pass-through metal (value) Secondary & end-of-life • Umicore charges the supplier a charge for this service materials Recycling fee
• Umicore returns metal to the supplier according to a contractually agreed recovery rate per metal (or returns the metal value) Pass-through metal
• Umicore assumes the risk of recovery under or above the contractually agreed recovery rate Free metal Free Metal yield
By-products • Umicore also recovers non-metallic, which are sold By-products
METAL/ Return split between recycling fee and metal yield varies per MATERIAL CONSUMER contract and per metal in the contract, depending on commercial negotiation 30 Impact of supply changes
Input feed optimised continuously to maximise profitability within capacity and contractual constraints Recycling supply pyramid • The recycling plant works continuously at maximum input capacity (350,000 tonnes/year) Feed Umicore • Contracts typically longer term based • Flexibility of processes allow to adapt input feed Value & complexity & Value
Total Changing market conditions triggers change in supply available recyclable material mix and profitability
• Growing economy creates higher availability of materials, allowing more selective supply strategy Availability • Higher complexity of raw materials increases competitive advantage of Umicore’s process
• Metal prices influence value of raw materials
31 Impact of metal prices
Umicore Precious Metals Refining has a metal price exposure • Directly → Metal yield component
• Indirectly → Availability of raw materials Certain materials only worth recycling when the metal price above certain threshold (i.e. value of metal contained becomes higher than the cost of the recycling)
Securing metal price exposure on earnings • Transactional exposure → Systematic hedging of to eliminate residual risk on pass-through metal
• Structural exposure → Mitigated by securing the metal price component over a longer time period, through contractual arrangements
Managing metal price impact on working capital • Toll refining contracts → Metals remain the property of the supplier
• Purchase contracts → Payment terms optimised vs throughput time, limiting impact on NWC

The main source of these metals are the residues of the non-ferrous industry.
Specialty metals are key metals in the production of photovoltaic cells, electronics (such as LCD displays), and metallurgical applications (processes & alloys).
Primary supply is constrained, which can lead to high prices when demand increases.

Base metals are important as they form the core of the technology for recovery of precious and specialty metals
Base metals can, however, be considered as a by-products: Although high in volumes, they are less important for direct value creation
Produced metal mainly sold on the market • A large part of the Umicore lead is sold to the battery industry
• Umicore sells its copper in the form of copper cathodes • Nickel is further transformed in chemical compounds in the Cobalt & Specialty Materials business unit
