“I am very proud of our team for delivering strong results in the fourth quarter despite the intense focus placed on addressing a previously announced quality event that impacted our large precision clad strip customer. While working diligently to resolve the issue, the rest of our business performed very well, with Electronic Materials and Precision Optics driving double digit top and bottom-line growth, fueled by market outgrowth and strong operational execution,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President & CEO of Materion.
“Our full year results reflect the substantial progress we’ve made, including the meaningful cost structure improvements made in Precision Optics and Electronic Materials that drove strong margin expansion, and the new business initiatives across the company that have strengthened our order book, positioning us well for growth in 2026.”
“We expect to continue the momentum by delivering on our organic initiatives, capturing new business and driving operational excellence, resulting in strong top and bottom-line growth while advancing towards our mid-term margin target of 23%.”
FOURTH QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Net sales for the quarter were $489.7 million, compared to $436.9 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $253.9 million for the quarter, up 7% organic excluding precision clad strip from the prior year quarter due to strength in semiconductor, energy and data center growth.
Operating profit for the quarter was $10.8 million and net income was $6.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to operating loss of $38.3 million and net loss of $48.8 million, or $2.33 loss per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $57.0 million, or 22.5% of value-added sales, compared to $61.5 million or 20.8% of value-added sales in the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by lower volume, partially offset by strong price/mix and operational performance in Electronic Materials and Precision Optics.
Adjusted net income was $32.0 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.53 per diluted share, compared to $1.55 per share in the prior year period.
FULL-YEAR 2025 RESULTS
Net sales for the year were $1.79 billion, compared to $1.68 billion in the prior year. Value-added sales were $1.05 billion for the year, up 4% organic excluding precision clad strip from the prior year due to strength in semiconductor, energy and data center growth.
Operating profit for the year was $109.8 million and net income was $74.8 million, or $3.58 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $47.2 million and net income of $5.9 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $217.0 million, or 20.7% of value-added sales, compared to $221.2 million or 20.2% of value-added sales in the prior year period. This decrease was driven primarily by lower volume, partially offset by strong price/mix and operational performance in Electronic Materials and Precision Optics.
Adjusted net income was $113.6 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $5.44 per diluted share, compared to $5.34 per diluted share in the prior year.
OUTLOOK
Moving into 2026, we expect to capture strong sales growth across each of our three businesses from new business wins and strong market conditions while driving performance improvements. With mid-single digit top line growth and continued margin expansion, we are guiding to the range of $6.00 to $6.50 for full year 2026 adjusted earnings per share, an increase of 15% from prior year at the midpoint. We remain focused on driving towards our mid-term adjusted EBITDA margin target of 23%.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 8 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.
The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items, including the following:
1.Restructuring and cost reduction - Costs include restructuring charges, costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand and costs associated with disposal of assets associated with obsolete products.
2.Electronic Materials inventory adjustment - During the third quarter of 2024, the Company determined that material costs from prior years were understated due to unrecognized metal refine expense and other inventory adjustments.
3.Environmental remediation - Cost associated with non-recurring environmental remediation
4.Business transformation costs - Represents project management and implementation expenses related to the Company's automation and transformation initiatives.
5.Pension settlement - Represents settlement charges related to the Company's international pension plans.
6.Product quality issue - Represents costs incurred related to a quality issue identified by a large precision clad strip customer which led to temporarily idling production facilities within the Performance Materials segment.
7.Additional start up resources and scrap - Represents incremental resource, consulting and specialists costs incurred related to the ramp of the precision clad strip facility and scrap related to product qualifications.
8.Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs - Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures as well as loss on asset disposals.
9.Precision Optics impairments - Represents goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges within the Precision Optics segment taken in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
