| 1. | The total Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal includes cost of aluminum at the Midwest Transaction Price and the cost of alloying elements used in the production process. This metric is net of metal price exposure on shipments that the Company hedged with realized gains upon settlement of $11.4 million and $0.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and $18.9 million and $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. |
|
2. |
Diluted shares for EPS are calculated using the two-class method. |
|
3. |
Adjusted numbers exclude non-run-rate items. For all Adjusted numbers and EBITDA refer to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures. |
|
4. |
Adjusted EBITDA = Consolidated operating income, excluding operating non-run-rate items, plus Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA includes favorable metal price lag of approximately $27.0 million and approximately $14.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and favorable metal price lag of approximately $64.0 million and approximately $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, 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. |
|
5. |
Adjusted EBITDA margin = Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of Conversion Revenue. |

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Net sales for the second quarter 2026 increased to $1.26 billion compared to $823 million in the prior year period, driven by an increase in average realized sales price and higher shipments. Shipments for the second quarter 2026 improved 6% year-over-year, primarily driven by sustained demand in the Company's Packaging end market for coated products and strengthening aerospace production as destocking continues to ease. The increase in average realized sales price reflects an 83% increase in the Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal, a direct pass through as a function of contracted selling price.
Conversion Revenue for the second quarter 2026 was $437 million, reflecting a 17% increase compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a strong pricing and improved product mix in the Company's Packaging end market. The following table provides the Company's Shipments and Conversion Revenue information (in millions of dollars, except shipments and Conversion Revenue per pound) by end market applications:

The total Hedged Cost of Alloyed Metal includes cost of aluminum at the Midwest Transaction Price and the cost of alloying elements used in the production process. This metric is net of metal price exposure on shipments that the Company hedged with realized gains upon settlement of $11.4 million and $0.6 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and $18.9 million and $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. |
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Adjusted EBITDA of $295 million reported in the first half of 2026 and cash on hand funded $118 million of working capital, $44 million of capital investments, $22 million of interest payments, and $26 million of cash returned to stockholders through quarterly dividends. As of June 30, 2026, the Company's net debt leverage ratio improved to 2.1x from 3.4x at December 31, 2025.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $628 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $59 million and borrowing availability under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility of $570 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026.
On July 13, 2026, the Company announced the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.77 per share, which will be paid on August 14, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 24, 2026.
2026 Outlook
For the full year 2026, the Company now expects Conversion Revenue to be at the high end of its previously stated range of 10% to 15% year-over-year improvement and is raising its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of 45% to 55% year-over-year growth. The revised Adjusted EBITDA outlook assumes a neutral metal price lag through the end of the year, and does not assume a continuation of the metal lag or consumption cost tailwinds to Adjusted EBITDA recorded in the first half of the year. The Company’s outlook reflects continued strong demand, favorable pricing, an improved mix within the Company's Packaging operations, and consistent execution across the portfolio.

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.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied. These factors include: (a) the effectiveness of management's strategies and decisions, including strategic investments, capital spending strategies, cost reduction initiatives, sourcing strategies, process and countermeasures implemented to address operational and supply chain challenges, and the execution of those strategies; (b) the execution and timing of strategic investments; (c) general economic and business conditions, including the impact of geopolitical factors and governmental and other actions taken in response, tariffs, cyclicality, reshoring, labor challenges, supply interruptions, scrap availability and pricing, customer operation disruptions, customer inventory imbalances and supply chain issues and other conditions that impact demand drivers in the aerospace/high strength, packaging, general engineering, and automotive extrusions end markets we serve; (d) the Company’s ability to participate in mature and anticipated new automotive programs expected to launch in the future and successfully launch new automotive programs; (e) changes or shifts in defense spending due to competing national priorities; (f) pricing, market conditions and the Company’s ability to effectively execute its commercial and labor strategies, pass through cost increases, including the institution of surcharges, and flex costs in response to inflation, volatile commodity costs and changing economic conditions; (g) developments in technology; (h) the impact of the Company's future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors on its financial strength and flexibility; (i) new or modified statutory or regulatory requirements; (j) the successful integration of the acquired operations and technologies; (k) stakeholder, including regulator and customer, views regarding the Company's sustainability goals and initiatives and the impact of factors outside of the Company's control on such goals and initiatives; and (l) other risk factors summarized in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

NRR is an abbreviation for non-run-rate; NRR items are pre-tax. Other operating NRR items primarily represent the impact of adjustments to legacy environmental accruals and losses on the disposition of operating property, plant and equipment. |
|
2. |
Adjusted EBITDA = Consolidated operating income, excluding operating NRR items, plus Depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA includes favorable metal price lag of approximately $27.0 million and approximately $14.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and favorable metal price lag of approximately $64.0 million and approximately $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. 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. |
|
3. |
Non-operating NRR items typically represent the impact of non-cash net periodic benefit cost related to the Salaried VEBA, (gains) losses recorded from the sale of non-operating assets, and gains recorded from business interruption insurance recoveries. |
|
4. |
Diluted shares for EPS are calculated using the two-class method. |
|
Totals may not sum due to rounding. |
