New York, N.Y., February 23, 2009 - Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. (AIM: GLBM.L) 
(the "Company") today announces results for its second quarter ended December 
31, 2008. Key points are as follows: 
 
 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   | Revenue was $119.3 million, an increase of 17% over the prior year.      | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   | Adjusted EBITDA (after one-time items) was $19.4 million, a 41% increase | 
|     | over the prior year.                                                     | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   | Cash flow from operations was $8.1 million.                              | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   | Available liquidity at December 31, 2008 was $93.0 million.              | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
Globe posted a second quarter net loss of $61.5 million (including $66.8 million 
of after-tax, one-time items), compared to net income of $4.5 million for the 
same period last year. Excluding one-time items, the Company would have had net 
income of $5.3 million in the second quarter, an 18% increase over the prior 
year. 
 
 
CEO Jeff Bradley said "We generated $19.4 million of adjusted EBITDA, before 
one-time items, in the second quarter despite a 20% decline in shipments from 
the first quarter. The dramatic downturn in the economy and, in particular, the 
unprecedented drop in aluminum and steel manufacturing, is clearly affecting our 
business. Despite the downturn we produced $8.1 million of cash from operations 
in the second quarter and cash flow from operations is expected to remain 
positive for the balance of the fiscal year. We have taken immediate steps to 
respond to the reduced demand including initiating a closure of our Selma, 
Alabama facility, significantly reducing plant headcount in all facilities, 
curtailing capital expenditures and implementing a major reduction in SG&A 
expense. We look forward to realizing a positive impact from these initiatives 
through the remainder of the fiscal year." 
 
 
The net loss for the second quarter includes $75.5 million in pre-tax one-time 
items as follows: 
 
 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   |   A $69.6 million goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge for    | 
|     |   the Company's Solsil business unit. The global economic slowdown       | 
|     |   combined with the decrease in oil prices caused a sharp decline in     | 
|     |   product price and demand for upgraded metallurgical grade silicon. As  | 
|     |   a result, it was determined that the value of the Solsil business no   | 
|     |   longer supported the goodwill and intangible asset balances.           | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   |   A $3.4 million inventory write-down. A lower-of-cost-or-market         | 
|     |   adjustment at the Company's Solsil and Yonvey business units was       | 
|     |   necessitated by the speed and severity of the recent decline in demand | 
|     |   and pricing.                                                           | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| -   |   A $2.5 million write-off of deferred offering expenses. Given that the | 
|     |   initial public offering on NASDAQ has already been postponed almost 90 | 
|     |   days, due to the unprecedented market conditions for initial public    | 
|     |   offerings, it was determined that the deferred offering expenses       | 
|     |   should be written off in accordance with accounting guidance.          | 
|     |                                                                          | 
+-----+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
Net sales for the six month period were $268.5 million, an increase of 41% over 
the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six month period 
(excluding one-time items) was $54.1 million, an increase of 121% from the prior 
year. The net loss for the six months was $44.6 million, compared to net income 
of $7.7 million in the prior year. Excluding one-time items, the Company would 
have had a net income of $22.3 million for the six months, a 190% increase over 
the prior year.

Forward-Looking Statements 
 
 
This release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of 
the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking 
statements can be identified by words such as "anticipates," "intends," " 
plans," "seeks," "believes," "estimates," "expects" and similar 
references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. 
Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and assumptions 
of Globe Specialty Metals Inc. ("GSM" or the "Company") regarding its business, 
financial condition, the economy and other future conditions. 
 
 
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they 
are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that 
are difficult to predict. The Company's actual results may differ materially 
from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions 
you therefore that you should not rely on any of these forward-looking 
statements as statements of historical fact or as guarantees or assurances of 
future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, 
national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and 
regulatory conditions including, among others, changes in metals prices; 
increases in the cost of raw materials or energy; competition in the metals and 
foundry industries; environmental and regulatory risks; ability to identify 
liabilities associated with acquired properties prior to their acquisition; 
ability to manage price and operational risks including industrial accidents and 
natural disasters; ability to manage foreign operations; changes in technology; 
and ability to acquire or renew permits and approvals. 
 
 
Any forward-looking statement made by the Company or management in this release 
speaks only as of the date on which it or they make it. Factors or events that 
could cause the Company's actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, 
and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company 
undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, 
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, unless 
otherwise required to do so by the London Stock Exchange AIM Market (AIM) rules 
(the "AIM Rules")." 
 
 
Adjusted EBITDA and Liquidity Measures 
 
 
We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA after one-time items to 
provide supplemental measures of our performance which we believe are important 
because they eliminate items that have less bearing on our current and future 
operating performance and so highlight trends in our core business that may not 
otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Adjusted 
EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted by the removal of non-cash 
share-based compensation costs and goodwill and intangible asset impairment 
charges. Adjusted EBITDA after one-time items represents adjusted EBITDA as 
further adjusted for significant one-time charges which are of an unusual, and / 
or non-recurring nature. 
 
 
Available liquidity is calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus available 
lines of credit. We have disclosed this measure as a representation of our 
ability to meet short term operating and investing needs.
