AMG Portfolio
Note: Compound annual growth rates are calculated over the period Mar ‘06 through Mar ‘16 using the equation ((Ending Value / Beginning Value) ̂(1 / # of years) - 1) where ending value is avg monthly price in Mar ‘15 and beginning value is avg monthly price in Mar ‘06; and where AMG EU Critical Materials include Sb, Cr, Graphite & Si; AMG Portfolio includes Sb, Cr, FeV, Li, Nb, Si, Sr, Graphite, Ta, Sn & Ti; and LME Metals include Al, Co, Cu, Pb, Mo, Ni, & Zn. Avg annual growth rates (plotted above) are calculated over the same period using the equation ((Ending Value / Beginning Value) -1) and considering the same metal categorizations where ending value is avg monthly price in Dec of the given year and beginning value is avg monthly price in Mar ‘06.
The cumulative average 10 year
price appreciation of the AMG EU
Critical Materials was 6.4
percentage points higher than LME
Metals and 7.8 points higher than
oil, while the AMG Portfolio
outperformed LME Metals and oil
by 6.2 and 7.6 percentage points,
respectively

Critical Materials Prices: 10 Year Perspective
AMG has significant
potential upside within
certain critical materials
based on historical price
ranges
Note: Metal Positions are measured on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the minimum price and 10 being the maximum price. They are calculated using the formula [(Mar ‘06 month avg –
min. monthly avg) / (max. monthly avg – min. monthly avg) *10] where maximum and minimum monthly averages are measured over the period 1 Mar ‘06 through 31 Mar ‘16.

Process Innovation – Critical Materials
AMG’s gamma titanium aluminide is a
newly developed light-weight
aerospace alloy which enables aircraft
engines to operate at higher
temperatures, reducing carbon
emissions and improving fuel
consumption.
AMG increased titanium aluminide
production capacity to meet customer
demands by commissioning three new
vacuum furnaces, designed and built
by AMG Engineering.
The reduced weight of turbine blades
dramatically increases efficiency with
an estimated fuel savings of 15% over
the current technology.

Process Innovation – Engineering
AMG delivered newly
developed plasma hearth
melting furnaces for the
recycling and improved
ecological reuse of titanium
scrap to several key
customers in the aerospace
industry, significantly
reducing waste and CO2
emissions
