Please see “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Data” for definitions of terms presented in this press release. p.1/17 Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, declared: “In the second quarter, Vallourec once again demonstrated the strength of its business model. Despite lower shipments in the Eastern Hemisphere, our Tubes EBITDA margin expanded to 19%, driven by sequential improvements in profitability in our North and South American production hubs. Our Mine & Forest business also continued to perform extremely well despite sequentially lower iron ore market prices. Further, we continued our streak of positive total cash generation, which now marks eleven straight quarters of this performance. Meanwhile, we made good on our promise to return significant capital to our shareholders, paying both a €1.50 per share dividend and repurchasing 1.2 million shares in the second quarter. “The Brazil Performance Program we announced in July 2024 is ahead of schedule. We have completed a significant simplification of our operations, which included the closure of our legacy Plug mill at the end of 2024. Our primary cost savings initiatives are now completed. We have delivered regional cost savings well in excess of our €150 per tonne target due to strong delivery across multiple workstreams. We remain focused on fully capitalizing on the potential of this premier asset base including by increasing its production capability by more than 100 thousand tonnes.b “The international OCTG market has been impacted by recent macroeconomic volatility; however, our stream of recent contract awards highlights the value of Vallourec’s premium product offering. We continue to see further opportunities ahead as our resilient customer base is progressing on major multi-year drilling programs which will require the support of sophisticated suppliers like Vallourec. The global shift towards increased gas and unconventional drilling will also provide significant opportunities for Vallourec to capitalize on its differentiated premium market positioning. “In the US, market prices further improved over the second quarter in response to the steel tariffs implemented earlier this year. US oil drilling activity has fallen in response to weaker and highly volatile oil prices, though this has been partially offset by a rebound in gas drilling activity. Despite this, our latest bookings indicate a healthy level of demand that will keep our mills well utilized at current staffing levels. Meanwhile, imports will likely moderate from their second quarter levels following the change in tariff rates announced in early June. This should support US-based industrial players such as Vallourec. “Globally, we are moving into the next phase of organizational improvement as we work to achieve operational excellence across our manufacturing footprint. Thanks to our internal performance initiatives, differentiated product offering, and ideally-located manufacturing centers, we are well-positioned to continue to create significant value over the coming years.” Key Quarterly Data c Quarterly Figures in € million, unless noted Q2 2025 Q1 2025 Q2 2024 QoQ chg.

Group revenues reflect a (17%) volume decrease, a (1%) price/mix effect, a 3% increase due to Mine & Forest, and a (6%) currency effect. The year-over-year comparison is particularly affected by a large volume of high-value products invoiced in Q2 2024 that did not recur in Q2 2025. EBITDA amounted to €187 million, or 22% of revenues, compared to €215 million (20% of revenues) in Q2 2024. The decrease was driven by lower volumes and lower average selling prices in Tubes, partially offset by cost savings initiatives and improvements in Mine & Forest profitability largely related to the Phase 1 mine extension project. Operating income was €103 million, compared to €100 million in Q2 2024. Operating income was burdened by €36 million of asset disposals, restructuring costs and non-recurring items, a decrease compared to €65 million of such expenses incurred in Q2 2024. Financial income (loss) was (€5) million, compared to a positive €57 million in Q2 2024. In Q2 2024, Vallourec’s balance sheet refinancing had a net positive impact of approximately €70 million mainly related to the reversal of fair value accounting on the 2026 senior notes and State-guaranteed loan (PGE), which did not recur in Q2 2025. Income tax amounted to (€52) million compared to (€40) million in Q2 2024. The effective tax rate was elevated due to non-deductible losses incurred in Europe as well as a shift in profits towards higher-tax geographies. Net income, Group share, was €40 million, compared to €111 million in Q2 2024. Earnings per diluted share was €0.16 versus €0.46 in Q2 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 and an increase in potentially dilutive shares related to the Company’s outstanding warrants. First Half Results Analysis In H1 2025, Vallourec recorded revenues of €1,854 million, down (11%) year over year, or (7%) at constant exchange rates. The decrease in Group revenues reflects a (6%) volume decrease, a (4%) price/mix effect, a 3% increase due to Mine & Forest, and a (4%) currency effect. The year-over-year comparison is particularly affected by a large volume of high-value products in H1 2024 that did not recur in H1 2025. EBITDA amounted to €394 million, or 21% of revenues, compared to €450 million (22% of revenues) in H1 2024. The decrease was driven by lower volumes and lower average selling prices in Tubes, partially offset by cost savings initiatives and improvements in Mine & Forest profitability largely related to the Phase 1 mine extension project. Operating income was €251 million, compared to €273 million in H1 2024. Operating income was burdened by €44 million of asset disposals, restructuring costs and non-recurring items, a decrease compared to €77 million of such expenses incurred in H1 2024. Financial income (loss) was negative at (€15) million, compared to a positive €37 million in H1 2024. Vallourec’s H1 2024 financial income benefitted from the refinancing transaction described above. Income tax amounted to (€96) million compared to (€86) million in H1 2024. The effective tax rate was elevated due to non-deductible losses incurred in Europe as well as a shift in profits towards higher-tax geographies. This resulted in positive net income, Group share, of €126 million, compared to €216 million in H1 2024. Earnings per diluted share was €0.51 versus €0.90 in H1 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 and an increase in potentially dilutive shares related to the Company’s outstanding warrants.

Please see “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Data” for definitions of terms presented in this press release. p.3/17 RESULTS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT Second Quarter Results Analysis Tubes: In Q2 2025, Tubes revenues were down (26%) year over year due to an (11%) reduction in average selling price and a (17%) volume decrease driven primarily by lower shipments in the Eastern Hemisphere. In Q2 2024, Vallourec invoiced a large volume of high-value products that did not recur in Q2 2025. Tubes EBITDA decreased from €210 million in Q2 2024 to €145 million Q2 2025. This was driven by lower profitability primarily in the Eastern Hemisphere, partly offset by cost savings. Mine & Forest: In Q2 2025, iron ore production sold was 1.6 million tonnes, an increase of 14% year over year, while EBITDA reached €45 million, versus €15 million in Q2 2024. These improvements resulted largely from the successful start-up of the Phase 1 mine extension in late 2024. First Half Results Analysis Tubes: In H1 2025, Tubes revenues were down (15%) year over year due to a (9%) decrease in average selling price and a (6%) reduction in volume sold. Tubes EBITDA decreased from €430 million in H1 2024 to €310 million H1 2025. These reductions were due to a decrease in pricing in North America, as well as a reduction in international revenue and profitability as Vallourec invoiced a large volume of high-value products in H1 2024 that did not recur in H1 2025. Mine & Forest: In H1 2025, iron ore production sold was 3.2 million tonnes, increasing by 14% year over year, while Mine & Forest EBITDA reached €98 million, versus €46 million in H1 2024. These improvements resulted largely from the successful start-up of the Phase 1 mine extension in late 2024. CASH FLOW AND FINANCIAL POSITION Second Quarter Cash Flow Analysis Adjusted operating cash flow in Q2 2025 was €103 million versus €96 million in Q2 2024. Despite lower EBITDA, cash flow increased primarily due to lower financial cash out driven by the 2024 balance sheet refinancing. Adjusted free cash flow in Q2 2025 was €88 million, slightly up versus €84 million in Q2 2024. A higher level of working capital release was offset by a larger impact of foreign exchange differences versus the prior year. Total cash generation in Q2 2025 was €57 million, versus €44 million in Q2 2024. Total cash generation after shareholder returns in Q2 2025 was (€313) million. This reflected (€370) million in shareholder returns, including (€352) million in dividend payments and (€19) million in share repurchases. First Half Cash Flow Analysis Adjusted operating cash flow in H1 2025 was €274 million versus €330 million in H1 2024. The decrease was attributable to lower EBITDA versus the prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow in H1 2025 was €256 million, flat year-over-year (€255 million in H1 2024). Vallourec generated €121 million of cash from working capital in H1 2025, versus €8 million in H1 2024, which offset lower EBITDA and a larger impact of foreign exchange differences versus the prior year period. Total cash generation in H1 2025 was €161 million, versus €146 million in H1 2024. Total cash generation after shareholder returns in H1 2025 was (€209) million. This reflected (€370) million in shareholder returns, including (€352) million in dividend payments and (€19) million in share repurchases.

Please see “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Data” for definitions of terms presented in this press release. p.15/17 DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DATA Adjusted free cash flow is defined as adjusted operating cash flow +/- change in operating working capital and gross capital expenditures. 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.

Total cash generation is defined as adjusted free cash flow +/- restructuring charges and non-recurring items and asset disposals & other cash items. It corresponds to net cash used in operating activities +/- gross capital expenditure and asset disposals & other cash items. Working capital requirement is defined as trade receivables plus inventories minus trade payables (excluding provisions). Information Quarterly statements are unaudited and not subject to any review.
