PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported third quarter 2025 results. The Company reported record third quarter 2025 revenue of $2.09 billion, up 14% year over year, driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 15%, growth in the defense aerospace market of 24%, and growth in the industrial and other market of 18%, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market of 3%.

Howmet Aerospace reported Net Income of $385 million, or $0.95 per share, in the third quarter 2025 versus $332 million, or $0.81 per share, in the third quarter 2024. Net Income excluding special items was $385 million, or $0.95 per share, in the third quarter 2025, versus $290 million, or $0.71 per share, in the third quarter 2024; there was no impact from special items in the third quarter of 2025.

Third quarter 2025 Operating Income and Operating Income excluding special items were both $542 million, up 29% year over year. Operating Income Margin was 25.9%, up approximately 300 basis points year over year. Third quarter 2025 Adjusted Operating Income Margin excluding special items was 25.9%, up approximately 310 basis points year over year.

Third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $614 million, up 26% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and industrial and other markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 290 basis points year over year at 29.4%.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, "The Howmet team drove a very strong third quarter, with results exceeding the high end of guidance on all metrics. Notably, revenue growth accelerated to 14% year over year, versus 8% growth in the first half, driven by healthy demand across the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and industrial and other markets. Adjusted EBITDA Margin^* was solid at 29.4%, up 290 basis points year over year. Free Cash Flow was $423 million after $108 million of capital expenditures, as Howmet continues to invest in growth, which is backed by customer contracts."

Mr. Plant continued, "Strong cash generation supported continued return of cash to shareholders, with $200 million of share repurchases in the third quarter 2025 and an additional $100 million in October, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $600 million. Furthermore, the Board of Directors declared a 20% increase in the common stock dividend to $0.12 per share in the third quarter 2025. The Company also paid down $63 million of debt in the quarter, further strengthening the balance sheet."

"Turning to 2026, the outlook across most of our major end markets remains solid. Air traffic continues to grow and the backlog of commercial aircraft extends through the decade, providing for both solid commercial aerospace original equipment demand and growing demand for engine spares. The defense aerospace market remains strong across F-35 demand in addition to legacy fighters. Growing power demand to support data center builds bolsters the industrial gas turbine and aeroderivative market. However, the commercial transportation market remains weak. Our 2026 outlook envisions revenue of approximately $9 billion, up ~10% year over year."

The Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures (due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations). It is important to note that Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's operating performance and the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet's definition of Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these

measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Restructuring

and other charges (credits), Discrete tax items, and Other special items (collectively, "Special items"). There can be no assurances that additional

Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income

and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items.

⁽¹⁾The Tax impact of Pre-tax special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and the

Company's consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a Special item.

⁽²⁾Discrete tax items for each period included the following:

• for 3Q24, a net benefit related to additional U.S. federal and state research and development ("R&D") credits claimed for prior years upon completion

of the Company's R&D study ($44), and an excess tax benefit for stock compensation ($2);

^•for 2Q25, benefits related to U.S. accounting method changes for certain prior period transaction and other costs ($17), an excess benefit for stock

compensation ($13), and a net benefit related to U.S. federal and state R&D credits claimed for prior years ($5).

• for 3Q25, a net benefit for other small items of ($1).

Operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews

future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both the Effective tax rate determined under GAAP

⁽¹⁾There were no pre-tax special items in Q325. Pre-tax special items for the nine months ended 3Q25 included Restructuring and other credits ($4).

a net charge related to the expiration of a tax holiday in China $6, a charge for a tax reserve established in Germany $2, and a net charge for other small

items $1.
