Once again, our premium positioning has enabled us to generate solid profitability, not only in our Tubes segment, but also for our mine in Brazil, where the benefits of the Phase 1 extension project are apparent. We also generated strong cash flow, marking the tenth straight quarter of positive cash generation – clear evidence of the cash flow potential of the New Vallourec. “Financial market sentiment on the Oil & Gas sector has soured in recent weeks due to dual concerns about rising oil output by OPEC+ members and fears of a slowdown in oil demand. Notwithstanding this, our key international customers are progressing their long-term plans. As a result, our first quarter bookings continued the strong trend we observed in the fourth quarter, and we see a robust pipeline of opportunities ahead of us. This sales performance underpins our continued expectations of a second-half improvement in profitability. Meanwhile, US market prices have shown a continued upward trend, but they do not yet reflect the full impact of recently-announced tariffs due to ongoing market uncertainty. “As a result of the substantial changes we have made within Vallourec over the past three years, we are well positioned for any market environment. We have focused our offering on differentiated, premium products and we have strong positions with global national oil companies, international oil companies, and resilient independent US producers. We have centralized production in cost-efficient hubs close to our key customers. We can serve all of our onshore US customers’ needs from our integrated operations in the US, putting us in an ideal position to navigate today’s trade environment. “Our strong balance sheet has recently been endorsed by positive ratings actions across all three ratings agencies, including an upgrade to an Investment Grade rating by Fitch. This, and our proven ability to generate significant cash flow, will allow us to manage the business optimally in any market condition.” Key Quarterly Data in € million, unless noted Q1 2025 Q4 2024 Q1 2024 QoQ chg.

Group revenues reflect a 7% volume increase mainly driven by higher shipments to the Middle East and North America, an (8%) price/mix effect, a 2% increase due to Mine & Forest, and a (1%) currency effect. EBITDA amounted to €207 million, or 21% of revenues, compared to €235 million (24% of revenues) in Q1 2024. The decrease was driven by lower average selling prices in Tubes in North America. This was partially offset by improved Tubes results outside of North America due to higher pricing and the benefits of the New Vallourec plan. Operating income was €148 million, compared to €174 million in Q1 2024. Financial income (loss) was (€10) million, compared to (€20) million in Q1 2024. Income tax amounted to (€44) million compared to (€46) million in Q1 2024. This resulted in positive net income, Group share, of €86 million, compared to €105 million in Q1 2024. Earnings per diluted share was €0.34 versus €0.43 in Q1 2024, reflecting the above changes in net income as well as an increase in ordinary shares due to the vesting of shares under management incentive plans as well as an increase in potentially dilutive shares largely related to the Company’s outstanding warrants, which are accounted for using the treasury share method. RESULTS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT First Quarter Results Analysis Tubes: In Q1 2025, Tubes revenues were down (2%) year over year due to a (9%) reduction in average selling price. Volumes increased by 7% driven by higher shipments to the Middle East and North America. Tubes EBITDA decreased from €220 million in Q1 2024 to €166 million Q1 2025. This was driven by lower profitability in North America, partly offset by improvements in the rest of the world due to higher market pricing and the benefits of the New Vallourec plan. Mine & Forest: In Q1 2025, iron ore production sold was 1.6 million tonnes, an increase of 15% year over year. In Q1 2025, Mine & Forest EBITDA reached €53 million, versus €30 million in Q1 2024, mainly reflecting higher sales volumes and improved ore quality following the successful start-up of the Phase 1 mine extension. CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION First Quarter Cash Flow Analysis In Q1 2025, adjusted operating cash flow was €171 million versus €235 million in Q1 2024. The decrease was attributable to lower EBITDA and higher tax payments. Adjusted free cash flow was €168 million, flat versus €171 million in Q1 2024, driven by a working capital release which offset the lower operating cash flow. Total cash generation in Q1 2025 was €104 million, versus €101 million in Q1 2024. Information Quarterly statements are unaudited and not subject to any review. Unless otherwise specified, indicated variations are expressed in comparison with the same period of the previous year. Please see “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Data” for definitions of terms presented in this press release. p.3/15 Debt and Liquidity As of March 31, 2025, Vallourec’s net cash positiona was €112 million, a €91 million improvement versus December 31, 2024. Gross debt was €975 million, down from €1,103 million on December 31, 2024. Long-term debt was €933 million and short-term debt totaled €42 million. As of March 31, 2025, Vallourec’s liquidity position was very strong at €1,880 million, with €1,098 million of cash, availability on the revolving credit facility (RCF) of €550 million, and availability on its asset-backed lending facility (ABL) of €232 million.b SECOND QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 OUTLOOK Second Quarter 2025 Group EBITDA is expected to range between €170 million and €200 million: • In Tubes, EBITDA per tonne is expected to be flat to slightly higher sequentially, while volumes are anticipated to be flat to slightly down sequentially. • In Mine & Forest, production sold is expected to be around 1.5 million tonnes. Profitability will be determined by prevailing iron ore market prices. Full Year 2025 Group EBITDA is expected to reflect a second half improvement: • In Tubes, international shipments are expected to increase in H2 2025 compared to H1 2025 due to strong bookings over recent quarters. EBITDA per tonne should improve in H2 2025 compared to H1 2025 especially due to higher invoiced international prices and cost savings. • In Mine & Forest, production sold is expected to be around 6 million tonnes. Profitability will be determined by prevailing iron ore market prices. SHAREHOLDER RETURNS Vallourec’s Board of Directors has proposed a dividend payment of €1.50 per share in 2025, subject to the approval of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of May 22, 2025.

It corresponds to net cash used in operating activities less restructuring and non-recurring items +/- gross capital expenditure. Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash benefits and expenses, financial cash out and tax payments. Asset disposals and other cash items includes cash inflows from asset sales as well as other investing and financing cash flows. Change in working capital refers to the change in the operating working capital requirement. Data at constant exchange rates: The data presented “at constant exchange rates” is calculated by eliminating the translation effect into euros for the revenue of the Group’s entities whose functional currency is not the euro. The translation effect is eliminated by applying Year N-1 exchange rates to Year N revenue of the contemplated entities. EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization is calculated by taking operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, and excluding certain operating revenues and expenses that are unusual in nature or occur rarely, such as: • impairment of goodwill and non-current assets as determined within the scope of impairment tests carried out in accordance with IAS 36; • significant restructuring expenses, particularly resulting from headcount reorganization measures, in respect of major events or decisions; • capital gains or losses on disposals; • income and expenses resulting from major litigation, significant roll-outs or capital transactions (e.g., costs of integrating a new activity). Financial cash out includes interest payments on financial and lease debt, interest income and other financial costs. Foreign exchange differences reconciles select items in the cash flow statement to their effective cash impact. This effect is related to intra-group financing, including related FX hedging. Gross capital expenditure: gross capital expenditure is defined as the sum of cash outflows for acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and cash outflows for acquisitions of biological assets. (Increase) decrease in net debt (alternatively, “change in net debt”) is defined as total cash generation +/- non-cash adjustments to net debt. Industrial margin: The industrial margin is defined as the difference between revenue and cost of sales (i.e. after allocation of industrial variable costs and industrial fixed costs), before depreciation. Lease debt is defined as the present value of unavoidable future lease payments. Net debt: Consolidated net debt (or “net financial debt”) is defined as bank loans and other borrowings plus overdrafts and other short-term borrowings minus cash and cash equivalents plus the fair value of the cross-currency swaps related to the EUR/USD hedging of the principal of the $820 million 7.5% senior notes. Net debt excludes lease debt. Net working capital requirement is defined as working capital requirement net of provisions for inventories and trade receivables; net working capital requirement days are computed on an annualized quarterly sales basis. Non-cash adjustments to net debt includes non-cash foreign exchange impacts on debt balances, IFRS-defined fair value adjustments on debt balances, and other non-cash items. Non-cash items in EBITDA includes provisions and other non-cash items in EBITDA. Operating working capital requirement includes working capital requirement as well as other receivables and payables.
