CANTON, Ohio, Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metallus (NYSE:MTUS), a leader in high-quality specialty metals, manufactured components and supply chain solutions, today reported third-quarter 2025 net sales of $305.9 million and net income of $8.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, the third-quarter 2025 net income was $12.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million.

This compares with the sequential second-quarter 2025 net sales of $304.6 million and net income of $3.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, the second-quarter 2025 net income was $8.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $26.5 million.

In the same quarter last year, net sales were $227.2 million with a net loss of $5.9 million, or a loss of $0.13 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis⁽¹⁾, the third-quarter 2024 net loss was $4.4 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $6.1 million.

"We delivered another quarter of solid results, benefiting from steady demand, improving operational performance and favorable product mix, led by continued strength in aerospace and defense shipments," said Mike Williams, chief executive officer. "Safety and operational excellence remain top priorities, and we're seeing those efforts pay off internally and externally. Recently we were honored with the Safety Culture Improvement Award from the Metals Service Center Institute in recognition of our collaborative approach to workplace safety. Additionally, we recently completed a majority of our planned annual shutdown maintenance which is critical to ensuring a strong start to 2026."

"As we approach year-end and begin planning for 2026, we remain on schedule with the installation of new assets that will enhance our operational capabilities and continue to work collaboratively with our customers to deliver both established and new solutions - underscoring the increasing demand for our domestic specialty steel. Our focus on the growing aerospace and defense market continues to provide opportunities as we recently secured new 2026 programs with key customers. We remain committed to safely delivering sustained profitability and cash flow across all market environments," stated Williams.

THIRD-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Net sales of $305.9 million increased from $304.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, representing the fourth consecutive sequential quarter of sales growth. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by favorable price/mix due to higher aerospace and defense shipments, partially offset by lower shipments in the energy and industrial markets. Compared with the prior-year third quarter, net sales increased by 35 percent primarily due to higher shipments across all end-markets. In addition, sales benefited from an increase in the raw material surcharge revenue per ton as a result of higher scrap prices.
Ship tons of 163,100 decreased 4,600 tons sequentially, or 3 percent, primarily driven by lower energy and industrial shipments. Compared with the prior-year third quarter, shipments increased 36 percent driven by higher shipments across all end-markets.
Manufacturing costs continued to benefit from increased fixed cost leverage on higher production volume. Melt utilization improved to 72 percent in the third quarter from 71 percent in the second quarter and 60 percent in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾for the third quarter of 2025 represents the fourth consecutive sequential quarterly improvement in both total dollars and margin.

CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY

As of September 30, 2025, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $191.5 million. In the third quarter, operating cash flow was $22.0 million, primarily driven by profitability. Capital expenditures totaled $28.4 million in the third quarter including $22.0 million for projects funded by the U.S. government. Total liquidity⁽²⁾ remains strong with $436.9 million as of September 30, 2025.

The company repurchased approximately 178,000 common shares in the open market during the third quarter at an aggregate cost of $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, the company had $90.9 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.

During the third quarter, the company received $10.0 million from the U.S. Army as part of the previously announced $99.75 million capacity expansion funding agreement in support of the U.S. Army's mission of ramping up munitions production. Through the end of September, the company has received $81.5 million of government funding. Additional payments are anticipated, contingent upon the achievement of mutually agreed upon milestones through early 2026.

OUTLOOK

Given the elements outlined in the outlook below and consistent with our normal seasonality, the company expects fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA to be lower than the third quarter.

Commercial:

Fourth-quarter shipments are expected to be lower than the third quarter, primarily due to normal year-end seasonality and customers' potential global supply chain challenges.
Lead times for bar products currently extend to January and tube product lead times currently extend to February.
Base price per ton is anticipated to increase slightly as we realize the previously announced spot bar and tube increases of 5% that take effect through the fourth quarter.
Product mix is expected to be less favorable than the third quarter due to the mix of sales within the industrial and aerospace and defense markets.

Operations:

Annual shutdown maintenance is planned for the fourth quarter and includes approximately $11 million in shutdown costs, a sequential increase of approximately $8 million from the third quarter.
Annual melt shop shutdown maintenance will result in a sequential decrease in melt utilization from 72% in the third quarter while also resulting in a decrease in fixed cost leverage of approximately $3 million.
Depending on the status and timing of a new labor agreement, the company may incur additional labor and benefit costs in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter.

Other matters:

Planned capital expenditures are approximately $120 million for the full year of 2025, slightly lower than the previous guidance primarily due to timing of cash payments. Capital expenditures include approximately $90 million funded by the U.S. government, consistent with the previous guidance. In October, the company received $4.1 million of government funding.
In October, the company made a required pension contribution of $3.5 million. No additional payments are expected for the remainder of 2025.
Metallus and United Steelworkers ("USW") reached a tentative agreement on October 3, 2025, on a new four-year labor agreement. On October 30, 2025, the USW membership voted against ratification of the tentative agreement. The parties agreed to extend the labor contract through January 29, 2026, and will continue negotiations.
We have recently been awarded several new 2026 defense programs from strategic customers for critical new solutions, which support our $250 million targeted annual run rate of aerospace and defense total sales by mid-2026.
We have executed a long-term supply agreement for vacuum arc remelt (VAR) steel, reinforcing our strategic position and ensuring a stable, high-quality material source to support continued sales growth in our aerospace and defense end-market.

⁽¹⁾ For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.2 million shares and 0.9 million shares, respectively) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (0.4 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

⁽²⁾Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (1.7 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.1 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. As such, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income was adjusted to add back $0.6 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

⁽⁸⁾Amortization of cloud computing software costs consists of expense recognized in Selling, General, and Administrative expense resulting from amortization of capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing IT systems. This expense is not included in depreciation and amortization.

⁽⁹⁾Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above.

⁽¹⁰⁾Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

⁽¹¹⁾For the three months ended June 30, 2025 convertible notes (0.6 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (0.7 million shares) were included in the computation of as reported and as adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 43.3 million shares. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

⁽³⁾During the third quarter of 2025, the company offered an exit incentive program to certain employees at the company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities to support succession planning and continue execution of the company's sustainable profitable growth strategy.

⁽⁴⁾Business transformation costs consist of professional service fees associated with the evaluation of certain strategic opportunities, with a focus on targeted growth to diversify the company's end market and product portfolio through acquisitions.

⁽⁶⁾ Manufacturing optimization costs consist of third-party professional fees related to process optimization efforts and improving manufacturing efficiency within targeted facilities.

⁽⁷⁾ Rebranding costs consist primarily of professional service fees associated with the company's name change to Metallus Inc., announced during the first quarter of 2024.

⁽⁸⁾ Amortization of cloud computing software costs consists of expense recognized in Selling, General, and Administrative expense resulting from amortization of capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing IT systems. This expense is not included in depreciation and amortization.

⁽⁹⁾Following the completion of the salaried pension plan annuitization in May 2024, there were surplus assets which were used to make a one-time 401(k) contribution to eligible employees. As a result, the company recognized a loss of $3.6 million when the remaining assets were distributed.

⁽¹⁰⁾ Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above.

⁽¹¹⁾For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (1.7 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.1 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. As such, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net income was adjusted to add back $0.6 million of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Reconciliation of Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)⁽³⁾ and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁰⁾ to GAAP Net Income (Loss):

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the company's performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important financial measures used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance. Management also believes that it is appropriate to compare GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

⁽¹⁾ Net Income Margin is defined as net income (loss) as a percentage of net sales.

⁽²⁾ Amortization of cloud computing software costs consists of expense recognized in Selling, General, and Administrative expense resulting from amortization of capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing IT systems. This expense is not included in depreciation and amortization.

⁽³⁾ EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest (income) expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, including cloud-computing costs. EBITDA Margin is EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

⁽⁴⁾ During the third quarter of 2025, the company offered an exit incentive program to certain employees at the company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities to support succession planning and continue execution of the company's sustainable profitable growth strategy.

⁽⁵⁾ Business transformation costs consist of professional service fees associated with the evaluation of certain strategic opportunities, with a focus on targeted growth to diversify the company's end market and product portfolio through acquisitions.

Reconciliation of Base Sales by end-market to GAAP Net Sales by end-market:

The tables below present net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe presenting net sales by end-market, both on a gross basis and on a per ton basis, adjusted to exclude raw material and energy surcharges, provides additional insight into key drivers of net sales such as base price and product mix. Due to the fact that the surcharge mechanism can introduce volatility to our net sales, net sales adjusted to exclude surcharges provides management and investors clarity of our core pricing and results. Presenting net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges including on a per ton basis, allows management and investors to better analyze key market indicators and trends and allows for enhanced comparison between our end-markets.

When surcharges are included in a customer agreement and are applicable (i.e., reach the threshold amount), based on the terms outlined in the respective agreement, surcharges are then included as separate line items on a customer's invoice. These additional surcharge line items adjust base prices to match cost fluctuations due to market conditions. Each month, the company will post on the surcharges page of its external website, as well as our customer portal, the scrap, alloy, and energy surcharges that will be applied (as a separate line item) to invoices dated in the following month (based upon shipment volumes in the following month). All surcharges invoiced are included in GAAP net sales.
