Ferrexpo plc

("Ferrexpo" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Extension of Financial Accounts Deadline

Ferrexpo plc (LSE: FXPO), the world's third largest exporter of high grade iron ore pellets to the global steel industry, with operations in central Ukraine, announces that following consultation with the Financial Conduct Authority, the deadline for publishing the Company's full year results for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the "Results") has been extended to 30 June 2022. This extension has been implemented due to the ongoing uncertainty relating to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the impact this has had on the ability of the Company to complete all necessary workstreams in relation to the Results.

At the present time, given the uncertainties surrounding the situation in Ukraine, the Group remains unable to provide a date as to when the Company's full year financial accounts for 2021 will be published.

Jim North, CEO of Ferrexpo commented:

"The situation in Ukraine is unprecedented for Ferrexpo and unpredictable. The decision to utilise the available reporting extension has been taken in light of the significant uncertainty that the Group currently has in its near-term outlook, as well as the Group's ability to conclude its financial accounts and for the Group's independent auditors to complete their audit procedures. Notwithstanding the on-going and fast-moving nature of events in Ukraine, the extension to 30 June 2022 will allow us additional time to work towards completing the necessary workstreams for the publication of our full year results. 

"In the meantime, we will maintain our current focus on protecting our workforce and local communities, whilst also continuing to contribute to the Ukrainian economy through our production of iron ore pellets. We will look to publish our accounts as soon as the situation in Ukraine permits us to do so."
