Other highlights:
- Constellium announced it appointed Ingrid Joerg as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026; Jean-Marc Germain to retire his role as Chief Executive Officer of Constellium, effective December 31, 2025
Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s Chief Executive Officer said, “I am very pleased with the strong execution and results our team delivered in the quarter despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Looking across our end markets, packaging demand remained healthy in the quarter, and we continued to benefit from improved operational performance at Muscle Shoals. Aerospace demand remained stable though commercial aerospace OEMs continued to deal with supply chain challenges. Automotive demand remained weak in Europe and relatively stable in North America. Industrial market conditions in North America and Europe became more stable, and our shipments in Europe improved in the quarter given the post-flood recovery in Valais. We delivered record third quarter Adjusted EBITDA and strong Free Cash Flow of $30 million in the quarter. We also reduced our leverage to 3.1x, and we repurchased 1.7 million shares for $25 million during the quarter.”
Mr. Germain concluded, “We expect recent demand trends in our end markets to continue through the remainder of 2025 and the overall macroeconomic environment to remain relatively stable, and we expect to benefit from recent market dynamics, including improved scrap spreads in North America. While the tariff and international trade situation remains fluid, given our strong performance year-to-date and based on our current outlook, we are raising our guidance for 2025 and now expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $670 million to $690 million, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, and Free Cash Flow to remain in excess of $120 million. 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. Our focus remains on executing our strategy, driving operational performance, generating Free Cash Flow and increasing shareholder value.”

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 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 third quarter of 2025, the first nine months of 2025, and the first nine months of 2024, metal price lag was positive, which reflects prices for primary aluminum increasing during the period. For the third quarter of 2024, metal price lag was negative, which reflects prices for primary aluminum decreasing during the period.
Other adjustments are detailed in the Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA table on page 17.
Net Income
For the third quarter of 2025, net income of $88 million compares to net income of $8 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The increase in net income is primarily related to higher gross profit (revenue less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization) and favorable changes in other gains and losses, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses and income tax expense.
For the first nine months of 2025, net income of $162 million compares to net income of $107 million in the first nine months of the prior year. The increase in net income is primarily related to higher gross profit and favorable changes in other gains and losses, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization, and higher selling and administrative expenses and income tax expense.
Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow was $68 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to $(15) million in the first nine months the prior year. The increase in Free Cash Flow was primarily due to higher Segment Adjusted EBITDA, lower capital expenditures and lower cash taxes, partially offset by an unfavorable change in working capital and higher cash interest.
Cash flows from operating activities were $271 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to cash flows from operating activities of $240 million in the first nine months of the prior year.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $200 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $188 million in the first nine months of the prior year, which included the collection of deferred purchase price receivables of $63 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $103 million for first nine months of 2025 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $106 million in the first nine months of the prior year. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company repurchased 6.5 million shares of the Company stock for $75 million. During the first nine months of 2024, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares of the Company stock for $60 million.
Liquidity and Net Debt
Liquidity at September 30, 2025 was $831 million, comprised of $122 million of cash and cash equivalents and $709 million available under our committed lending facilities and factoring arrangements.
Net debt was $1,891 million at September 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 $670 million to $690 million and Free Cash Flow to remain 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
In August 2025, Constellium completed the divestment of its Nanjing Automotive Structures plant to a local Chinese investment holding company. With approximately 30 employees, the Nanjing facility produces structural automotive components. The terms of the transaction will remain confidential.
Revision of certain disclosures in previously issued financial statements
During the third quarter of 2025, the Group identified and corrected certain immaterial errors affecting metal price lag and the resulting Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the A&T segment for certain prior periods in 2025 and 2024. The errors resulted from misclassification of certain items within Cost of sales, which did not impact either the overall Cost of sales or the Group’s consolidated income statements but did impact the non-cash metal price lag and the resulting Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the A&T segment. The Group assessed the materiality of these errors on a quantitative and qualitative basis and concluded that the corrections were not material to any previously issued interim or annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the affected prior period amounts presented in this filing, or that will be presented in prospective filings, have been revised. The impact of these revisions is presented below:

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.

¹Adjusted EBITDA includes the non-cash impact of metal price lag
| (A) | 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 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. | |
