Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Constellium delivered solid results in the second quarter despite continued demand weakness across most of our end markets outside of packaging. As I said last quarter, I am proud of our team for their relentless focus on cost reduction efforts and commercial and capital discipline in this uncertain environment. Free Cash Flow was strong at $41 million in the quarter. We repurchased 3.4 million shares for $35 million during the quarter, and we ended the quarter with leverage at 3.6x. We expect this to be the peak for leverage and to trend down as we move through the rest of the year.”

Mr. Germain concluded, “While the tariff and international trade situation remains fluid, given our solid performance in the first half and based on our current outlook, we are raising our guidance for 2025 and now expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $620 million to $650 million, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, and Free Cash Flow in excess of $120 million. Our guidance assumes that the overall macroeconomic and end market environment will remain relatively stable. We also remain confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term target of Adjusted EBITDA of $900 million, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, and Free Cash Flow of $300 million, in 2028. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and update our guidance as necessary. Our focus remains on executing our strategy, driving operational performance, generating Free Cash Flow and increasing shareholder value.”

Group Summary

The difference between the sum of reported segment revenue and total group revenue includes revenue from certain non-core activities and inter-segment eliminations. The difference between the sum of reported Segment Adjusted EBITDA and the Group Adjusted EBITDA is related to Holdings and Corporate and the non-cash impact of metal price lag.

For the second quarter of 2025, shipments of 384 thousand metric tons increased 2% compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to higher shipments in the P&ARP segment, partially offset by lower shipments in the A&T and AS&I segments. Revenue of $2.1 billion increased 9% compared to the second quarter of the prior year primarily due to higher shipments, favorable sales price and mix, including higher metal prices, and favorable foreign exchange translation. Net income of $36 million decreased $41 million compared to net income of $77 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA of $146 million decreased $79 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $225 million in the second quarter of last year primarily due to an unfavorable change in the non-cash metal price lag impact and weaker results in our A&T, AS&I and H&C segments. This was partially offset by stronger results in our P&ARP segment and favorable foreign exchange translation.

For the first half of 2025, shipments of 756 thousand metric tons were stable compared to the first half of 2024 due to higher shipments in the P&ARP segment offset by lower shipments in the A&T and AS&I segments.

The following table reconciles the total of our segments’ measures of profitability to the group’s net income:

Reconciled items excluded from our Segment Adjusted EBITDA include the following:

Metal price lag

Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum

prices included within Constellium’s Revenue are established and when aluminum purchase

prices included in Cost of sales are established, which is a non-cash financial impact. The 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. The calculation of metal price lag adjustment is based on a standardized methodology applied at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites. Metal price lag is calculated as the average value of product purchased in the period, approximated at the market price, less the value of product in inventory at the weighted average of metal purchased over time, multiplied by the quantity sold in the period.

For the second quarter of 2025, metal price lag was negative, which reflects negative metal price lag in Europe as regional premiums were decreasing, partially offset by positive metal price lag in North America as regional premiums were increasing. For the first half of 2025, metal price lag was positive, which reflects positive metal price lag in North America as regional premiums were increasing, partially offset by negative metal price lag in Europe as regional premiums were decreasing. For the second quarter and first half of 2024, metal price lag was positive, which reflects regional premiums increasing during the periods in both North America and Europe.

Other adjustments are detailed in the Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA Table on

page 19.

Net Income

For the second quarter of 2025, net income of $36 million compares to net income of $77 million in the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in net income is primarily related to lower gross profit (revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization), higher selling and administrative expenses and unfavorable changes in other gains and losses.

For the first half of 2025, net income of $74 million compares to net income of $99 million in the first half of 2024. The decrease in net income is primarily related to higher depreciation and amortization, and higher selling and administrative expenses and income tax expense.

Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow was $38 million in the first half of 2025 compared to $24 million in the first half of 2024. The increase in Free Cash Flow was primarily due to a favorable change in working capital, lower capital expenditures and lower cash taxes, partially offset by lower Segment Adjusted EBITDA and higher cash interest.

Cash flows from operating activities were $172 million for the first half of 2025 compared to cash flows from operating activities of $175 million in the first half of the prior year.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $131 million for the first half of 2025 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $111 million in the first half of the prior year, which included the collection of deferred purchase price receivables of $40 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $62 million for first half of 2025 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $51 million in the first half of the prior year. During the first half of 2025, the Company repurchased 4.8 million shares of the Company stock for $50 million. During the first half of 2024, the Company repurchased 1.9 million shares of the Company stock for $39 million.

Liquidity and Net Debt

Liquidity at June 30, 2025 was $841 million, comprised of $133 million of cash and cash equivalents and $708 million available under our committed lending facilities and factoring arrangements.

Net debt was $1,895 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $1,776 million at December 31, 2024.

Outlook

Based on our current outlook, for 2025 we expect Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the non-cash impact of metal price lag, to be in the range of $620 million to $650 million and Free Cash Flow in excess of $120 million. For 2028, we expect Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the non-cash impact of metal price lag, of $900 million and Free Cash Flow of $300 million.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of this Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, impairment or restructuring charges, or taxes without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, net income in the future.

Recent Developments

As of June 30, 2025, Constellium no longer qualifies as a Foreign Private Issuer, as determined by Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Beginning in 2025, Constellium was already voluntarily electing to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Non-GAAP measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), this press release includes information regarding certain financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net debt. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are presented in the schedules to this press release. We believe these non-GAAP measures are important supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. By providing these measures, together with the reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business, our results of operations and our financial position, as well as assisting investors in evaluating the extent to which we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, these non-GAAP financial measures supplement our U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period, revenues or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss for the relevant period.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions which do not qualify for hedge accounting, share based compensation expense, non-operating gains / (losses) on pension and other post-employment benefits, factoring expenses, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it illustrates the underlying performance of continuing operations by excluding certain non-recurring and non-operating items. Similar concepts of Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other stakeholders in their evaluation of our company and in comparison, to other companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities, less capital expenditures, net of property, plant and equipment inflows. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of the net cash flow generated or used by the business as it takes into account both the cash generated or consumed by operating activities, including working capital, and the capital expenditure requirements of the business. However, Free Cash Flow is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free Cash Flow has certain inherent limitations, including the fact that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary spending, notably because it does not reflect principal repayments required in connection with our debt or capital lease obligations.

Net debt is defined as debt plus or minus the fair value of cross currency basis swaps net of margin calls less cash and cash equivalents and cash pledged for the issuance of guarantees. Management believes that Net debt is a useful measure of indebtedness because it takes into account the cash and cash equivalent balances held by the Company as well as the total external debt of the Company. Net debt is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to debt determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Leverage is defined as Net debt divided by last twelve months Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the non-cash impact of metal price lag.
