▸Our e-mail: PH-100 price adjustment: counterproposal and request for cost breakdown

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for your offer and for twelve years of reliable supply. We want to keep the foundry strong. However, +8.8 % on our current EUR 48.60 is more than the drivers you cite.

By your own figures, WAGES-METAL rose 3.1 % and makes up 28 % of your cost, which adds about 0.9 % to cost.

Could you share a cost breakdown for PH-100, including your energy share?

In return for a lower price, we can offer planning security through a 24-month contract at the full 4,000 pcs per year. Please see the three alternative packages attached.

Kind regards

▸Our e-mail: PH-100: revised packages for a 24-month agreement

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for moving to EUR 51.60 and for welcoming the 24-month agreement.

Our figure came from your own e-mail: you stated that WAGES-METAL rose 3.1 % and is 28 % of your cost. That gives about 0.9 % on cost.

We would value a short view of how SCRAP-E3 and GAS-TTF have moved for PH-100, so that we can understand the remaining gap to +6.2 %.

We want a healthy partner. To help you, we can be flexible on payment terms and on the start date. Please see the three revised packages attached.

Kind regards

▸Our e-mail: PH-100: closing the gap on the 24-month agreement

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for the move to EUR 51.40. We appreciate that we are close.

At EUR 51.40, the increase on our current EUR 48.60 is still 5.8 %. Without figures for SCRAP-E3 and GAS-TTF, we cannot yet explain that level internally.

We accept your 30-day payment terms and the 1 December start. In return we would ask for a further step on price. We have also included options with a later start date or longer payment terms, in case those suit you better.

Please see the three packages attached. If none of them works, which part of your cost makes EUR 51.40 the floor?

Kind regards

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for your clear position and for the commitment to a 24-month agreement. We understand that your margin and cost figures stay internal, and we respect that.

We are very close. To close this week, we suggest one small final step.

The first option keeps your price of EUR 51.40, with the new price applying from 1 January 2027.

The second option keeps 1 December and sets the price at EUR 51.30.

Both options keep 30-day payment terms and the full 4,000 pcs per year over 24 months.

If either works for you, we are ready to sign promptly.

Kind regards
