Management Commentary
“Our fourth quarter performance reflected a year of consistent execution, marking our fifth consecutive quarter ahead of internal expectations and full year results that exceeded our 2025 outlook,” said Keith A. Harvey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Metal pricing remained a favorable tailwind, and despite non-recurring costs primarily associated with our new roll coat line and Phase VII planned outage, we delivered record full year adjusted EBITDA of $310 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin above 21%. We entered 2026 with a solid foundation, clear visibility into our end markets, and the capacity to capture the benefits from our recent major investments. We remain focused on cost reductions in manufacturing and operations and deleveraging our balance sheet while delivering meaningful value for our customers and shareholders in the year ahead.”

1. Adjusted to reflect the retrospective change in inventory valuation methodology from last in, first out ("LIFO") to weighted average costs ("WAC") for certain inventories.
2. Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $575.5 million and $409.0 million, respectively, reflecting the cost of aluminum at the average Midwest Transaction Price and the cost of alloys used in the production process, as well as metal price exposure on shipments that the Company hedged with realized gains upon settlement of $11.6 million and $2.0 million in the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, all of which were included within both Net sales and Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization in the Company’s Statements of Consolidated Income. Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included $1,946.8 million and $1,567.6 million, respectively, reflecting the cost of aluminum at the average Midwest Transaction Price and the cost of alloys used in the production process, as well as metal price exposure on shipments that the Company hedged with realized gains (losses) upon settlement of $27.0 million and ($0.2) million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, all of which were included within both Net sales and Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation and amortization in the Company’s Statements of Consolidated Income.
3. Diluted shares for EPS are calculated using the two-class method.
4. Adjusted numbers exclude non-run-rate items. For all Adjusted numbers and EBITDA refer to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.
5. Adjusted EBITDA = Consolidated operating income, excluding operating non-run-rate items, plus Depreciation and amortization.
6. Adjusted EBITDA margin = Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Conversion Revenue.
7. Includes favorable metal price lag of approximately $29.0 million and approximately $14.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and favorable metal price lag of approximately $93.0 million and approximately $45.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Metal price lag represents management’s estimate of the financial impact resulting from the timing difference between aluminum prices included within Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal and the weighted average market price for aluminum during the period, based on the Midwest Transaction Price, multiplied by our shipment volume during the periods. Metal price lag will generally increase our earnings in times of rising primary aluminum prices and decrease our earnings in times of declining primary aluminum prices.
Please refer to GAAP financial statements, totals may not sum due to rounding.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights
Net sales for the fourth quarter 2025 increased to $929 million compared to $765 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by an increase in average realized sales price. The increase in average selling price reflects a 48% increase in the Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal, a direct pass through as a function of contracted selling price. Shipments for the fourth quarter 2025 improved 1% sequentially from the third quarter 2025 as the Company ramped up operations following the planned outage at its Trentwood facility in support of the Phase VII expansion and continued to benefit from improved coated packaging shipments at Warrick. These gains were partially offset by normal seasonality in the general engineering end market. Shipments for the fourth quarter 2025 decreased 6% year-over-year, primarily due to continued commercial aerospace OEM destocking and the slower than anticipated ramp up of the new coating line in the Company's packaging operations.
Conversion Revenue for the fourth quarter 2025 was $365 million, reflecting a 2% increase compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower aerospace shipments from the Company's Trentwood facility, which was more than offset by improved product mix in its Packaging end market.
Full Year 2025 Financial Highlights
Net sales for the full year 2025 increased to $3.37 billion compared to $3.02 billion in the prior year period, driven primarily by an increase in average realized sales price. The increase in average selling price reflects a 29% increase in the Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal, a direct pass through as a function of contracted selling price. Shipments for the full year 2025 decreased 5% year-over-year, primarily due to commercial aerospace OEM destocking, the impact of the planned outage in connection with the Phase VII investment at the Trentwood facility, and the slower than anticipated ramp up of the new coating line in the Company's packaging operations.
Conversion Revenue for the full year 2025 was $1.45 billion, relatively flat compared to the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flow of the Company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure in the accompanying tables.
The non-GAAP financial measures used within this earnings release are Conversion Revenue, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted earnings per diluted share which exclude non-run-rate items and ratios related thereto. As more fully described in these reports, “non-run-rate” items are items that, while they may occur from period to period, are particularly material to results, impact costs primarily as a result of external market factors and may not occur in future periods if the same level of underlying performance were to occur. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends and believes this information to also be useful for investors. Reconciliations of certain forward looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not provided because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or provided without unreasonable effort.

1. Adjusted to reflect the retrospective change in inventory valuation methodology from LIFO to WAC for certain inventories.
2. Mark-to-market gain on derivative instruments represents the gain on non-designated commodity hedges. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the impact realized upon settlement.
3. NRR is an abbreviation for non-run-rate; NRR items are pre-tax.
4. Other operating NRR items primarily represent the impact of adjustments to legacy environmental accruals and (gains) losses on the disposition of operating property, plant and equipment.
5. Adjusted EBITDA = Consolidated operating income, excluding operating NRR items, plus Depreciation and amortization.
6. Non-operating NRR items typically represent the impact of non-cash net periodic benefit cost related to the Salaried VEBA excluding service cost, gains (losses) recorded from the sale of non-operating assets, and gains recorded from business interruption insurance recoveries.
7. Diluted shares for EPS are calculated using the two-class method.
8. Includes favorable metal price lag of approximately $29.0 million and approximately $14.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and favorable metal price lag of approximately $93.0 million and approximately $45.0 million for the full years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Metal price lag represents management’s estimate of the financial impact resulting from the timing difference between aluminum prices included within Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal and the weighted average market price for aluminum during the period, based on the Midwest Transaction Price, multiplied by our shipment volume during the periods. Metal price lag will generally increase our earnings in times of rising primary aluminum prices and decrease our earnings in times of declining primary aluminum prices.
