**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results are reflected in the interim periods presented. The June 30, 2025, consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Carpenter Technology's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

As used throughout this report, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Carpenter," "Carpenter Technology," the "Company," "Registrant," "Issuer," "we" and "our" refer to Carpenter Technology Corporation.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Pending Adoption***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this ASU enhances the transparency and decision functionality of income tax disclosures to provide investors information to better assess how an entity's operations and related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flow. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose the following specific categories in the rate reconciliation by both percentages and reporting currency amounts: the effect of state and local income tax, net of federal (national) income tax, foreign tax effects, effects of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period, effects of cross-border tax laws, tax credits, changes in valuation allowances, nontaxable or nondeductible items and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 also require public entities to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet the qualitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The ASU requires reporting entities to annually disclose the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign localities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted for annual financial statements not yet issued. ASU 2023-09 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in this ASU improves the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses included within the income statement expense captions, such as: inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. This ASU does not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements, however, it does affect where this information appears in the notes to financial statements, as entities are required to include certain current disclosures in the same tabular format disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements in the amendments. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is a requirement for additional disclosure and is not expected to materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in January 2025 the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarifies the effective date for non-calendar year-end entities.

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted***

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 seeks to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose the following: significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition; and the title and position of the CODM and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU requires public entities to provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2023-07 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and has adopted the provisions for interim disclosures in this first quarter of fiscal year 2026. ASU 2023-07 is a requirement for additional disclosure, as such it did not impact the consolidated financial statements other than the disclosure requirements in Note 16.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Revenue**

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts. The Company applies the five-step model in the FASB's guidance, which requires the Company to: (i) identify the contract with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a customer purchase order or contract are satisfied. This occurs when control of the goods and services has transferred to the customer, which is generally determined when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product or the service is performed. Consignment transactions are arrangements where the Company transfers product to a customer location but retains ownership and control of such product until it is used by the customer. Revenue for consignment arrangements is recognized upon usage by the customer. Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

The customer purchase order or contract for goods transferred has a single performance obligation for which revenue is recognized at a point in time. The standard terms and conditions of a customer purchase order include general rights of return and product warranty provisions related to nonconforming product. Depending on the circumstances, the product is either replaced or a quality adjustment is issued. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation.

Each customer purchase order or contract sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under that arrangement. Some customer arrangements include variable consideration, such as volume rebates, which generally depend upon the Company's customers meeting specified performance criteria, such as a purchasing level over a period of time. The Company exercises judgment to estimate the most likely amount of variable consideration at each reporting date.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for its product. The normal payment terms are 30 days. The Company has elected to use the practical expedient that permits the Company to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if it expects that at the contract inception, the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities to fulfill the Company's promise to transfer the goods are included in revenues and costs incurred by the Company for the delivery of goods are classified as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping terms may vary for products shipped outside the United States depending on the mode of transportation, the country where the material is shipped and any agreements made with the customers.

Contract liabilities are recognized when the Company has received consideration from a customer to transfer goods or services at a future point in time when the Company performs under the purchase order or contract. Contract liabilities were $7.7 million and $5.2 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was not significant and substantially all of our contract liabilities are recognized within a twelve-month period.

The Company elected the practical expedient that permits the omission of disclosure for remaining performance obligations which are expected to be satisfied in one year or less.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings per Common Share**

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to common stock and participating securities (non-vested restricted shares and units that receive non-forfeitable dividends) according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings. The earnings available to each class of stock are divided by the weighted average number of outstanding shares for the period in each class. Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. No awards issued under share-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Credit Facility is a secured revolving credit facility with a commitment of $350.0 million subject to the right, from time to time, to request an increase of the commitment by the greater of (i) $300.0 million or (ii) an amount equal to the consolidated EBITDA; and provides for the issuance of letters of credit subject to a $40.0 million sub-limit. The Company has the right to voluntarily prepay and re-borrow loans, to terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility, and, subject to certain lender approvals, to join subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1.1 million of issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility and no short-term borrowings. The balance of $348.9 million remains available to the Company.

Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at variable rates which are determined based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio. The applicable margin to be added to Alternative Currency Daily Rate, Alternative Currency Term Rate and Term SOFR determined loans ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% (1.75% as of September 30, 2025), and for Base Rate-determined loans, from 0.75% to 1.50% (0.75% as of September 30, 2025). The Company also pays a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% (0.250% as of September 30, 2025), determined based upon the consolidated total leverage ratio, of the unused portion of the commitment under the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company must pay certain letter of credit fees, ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% (1.75% as of September 30, 2025), with respect to letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, the borrowing rate for the Credit Facility was 6.01%, however, the Company had no short-term borrowings.

The Company is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, which requires the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated net leverage ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00. The restrictions of these covenants (other than the financial ratio covenants) are subject to certain exceptions or threshold triggering amounts or events specified in the Credit Facility, and in some cases the restrictions may be waived by the lenders. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Facility.

Long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 consisted of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **($ in millions)** | **September 30,<br>2025** | **June 30,<br>2025** |
| Senior unsecured notes, 6.375% due July 2028 (face value of $400.0 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025) | $398.1 | $397.9 |
| Senior unsecured notes, 7.625% due March 2030 (face value of $300.0 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025) | 297.6 | 297.5 |
| Total debt | 695.7 | 695.4 |
| Less: amounts due within one year |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Long-term debt, net of current portion | $695.7 | $695.4 |

---

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, interest costs totaled $12.7 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of which $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were capitalized as part of the cost of property, plant, equipment and software.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contingencies and Commitments**

***Environmental***

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations relating to pollution, protection of public health and the environment, natural resource damages and occupational safety and health. Although compliance with these laws and regulations may affect the costs of the Company's operations, compliance costs to date have not been material. The Company has environmental remediation liabilities at some of its owned operating facilities and has been designated as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to certain third party Superfund waste-disposal sites and other third party-owned sites. The Company accrues amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent management's best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not adjust the liability for environmental remediation costs. The liabilities recorded for environmental remediation costs at Superfund sites, other third party-owned sites and Carpenter-owned current or former operating facilities remaining at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 were $17.4 million and $17.4 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company has been notified that it may be a PRP with respect to other Superfund sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against the Company. Neither the exact amount of remediation costs nor the final method of their allocation among all designated PRPs at these Superfund sites have been determined. Accordingly, at this time the Company cannot reasonably estimate expected costs for such matters. The liability for future environmental remediation costs that can be reasonably estimated is evaluated by management on a quarterly basis. The Company accrues amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent management's best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are inherently imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of currently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRPs. Based upon information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, such costs could be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

***Other***

The Company is defending various routine claims and legal actions that are incidental to its business and common to its operations, including those pertaining to product claims, commercial disputes, patent infringement, employment actions, employee benefits, compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, personal injury claims and tax issues. Like many other manufacturing companies in recent years, the Company, from time to time, has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals and substances in the workplace such as asbestos. The Company provides for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company's future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing (both as to recording future charges to operations and cash expenditures) of the resolution of such matters. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of these matters, management believes that the total liability from these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations will not be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share Repurchase Program**

In July 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. The program authorizes the purchase of up to $400.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Under the terms of the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. There is no stated expiration for the share repurchase program. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares or to do so at any particular time, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company purchased 200,000 shares of its common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $49.1 million. As of September 30, 2025, $249.0 million remained available for future purchases.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurements**

The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 refers to observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 refers to unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Currently, the Company does not use Level 1 and 3 inputs.

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **September 30, 2025**<br>**($ in millions)** | **Fair Value<br>Measurements Using<br>Input Type**<br>**Level 2** |
| Assets: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments | $0.5 |
| Liabilities: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments | $1.8 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments | $0.6 |
| Liabilities: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative financial instruments | $2.2 |

---

The Company's derivative financial instruments have historically consisted of commodity forward contracts, interest rate swaps, forward interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. These instruments are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize information related to commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates published by third party leading financial news and data providers. This is observable data; however, the valuation of these instruments is not based on actual transactions for the same instruments and, as such, they are classified as Level 2. The Company's use of derivatives and hedging policies are more fully discussed in Note 13. Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments not listed in the table below approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the financial statements were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** | **June 30, 2025** |
|<br>**($ in millions)** | **Carrying<br>Value** | **Fair<br>Value** | **Carrying<br>Value** | **Fair<br>Value** |
| Long-term debt | $695.7 | $709.9 | $695.4 | $712.4 |
| Company-owned life insurance | $35.3 | $35.3 | $33.1 | $33.1 |

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

The fair values of long-term debt as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 were determined by using current interest rates for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company's existing debt arrangements and accordingly would be classified as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount of Company-owned life insurance as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 reflects cash surrender values based upon the market values of underlying securities, using Level 2 inputs, net of any outstanding policy loans. The carrying value associated with the cash surrender value of these policies is recorded in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

For purposes of performing Step 1 of goodwill impairment testing, if applicable, the Company uses certain nonrecurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Fair value for purposes of the goodwill impairment test is based on a weighting of an income approach and a market approach. Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow technique that uses estimates of cash flows discounted to present value using rates commensurate with the risks associated with those cash flows. Under the market approach, a market-based value is derived by relating multiples for earnings and cash flow measures for a group of comparable public companies to the same measure for each reporting unit to estimate fair value. The assumptions used by the Company to determine fair value of the reporting units are similar to those that would be used by market participants performing valuations.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivatives and Hedging Activities**

The Company, from time to time, uses commodity forwards, interest rate swaps, forward interest rate swaps and foreign currency forwards to manage risks generally associated with commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency rate fluctuations. The following explains the various types of derivatives utilized during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and includes a summary of the impact the derivative instruments had on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

*Cash Flow Hedging — Commodity forward contracts:* The Company enters into commodity forward contracts to fix the price of a portion of anticipated future purchases of certain critical raw materials and energy to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with volatile commodity prices. The commodity forward contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") to the extent effective, and reclassified to cost of sales in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings or it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had forward contracts to purchase 0.6 million pounds of certain raw materials with settlement dates through January 2027.

*Cash Flow Hedging — Foreign currency forward contracts:* The Company, from time to time, uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated future purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment denominated in foreign currencies, principally the Euro, in order to offset the effect of changes in exchange rates. The qualifying hedge contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting date and any unrealized gains or losses are included in AOCI and reclassified to the cost of property, plant and equipment in the period during which the purchase transaction is completed or expensed if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur.

*Foreign Currency Derivatives*: The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to protect certain short-term asset positions denominated in foreign currencies against the effect of changes in exchange rates. These positions do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly are marked-to-market at each reporting date through charges to other (income) expense, net. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forwards not designated as hedging instruments and the charges to income for changes in fair value for these contracts were not material.

Substantially all of the Company's derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, or similar agreements with each counterparty, which provide for the option to settle contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day and in the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event. The Company presents the outstanding derivative contracts on a net basis by counterparty in the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company had chosen to present the derivative contracts on a gross basis, the total asset derivatives and total liability derivatives would have been $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2025.

According to the provisions of the Company's derivative arrangements, in the event that the fair value of outstanding derivative positions with certain counterparties exceeds certain thresholds, the Company may be required to issue cash collateral to the counterparties. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company had no cash collateral held by counterparties.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on its derivative instruments as well as credit or performance risk with respect to its customer commitments to perform. Although nonperformance is possible, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of the parties. In addition, various master netting arrangements are in place with counterparties to facilitate settlements of gains and losses on these contracts.

***Cash Flow Hedges***

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings or it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur. The following is a summary of the losses related to cash flow hedges recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total other (income) expense, net | $(3.0) | $0.1 |

---

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Taxes**

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income, or loss, of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, the Company's tax expense or benefit can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits, and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

Income tax expense was $22.3 million, or 15.4 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with income tax expense of $16.3 million, or 16.1 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, includes discrete tax benefits of $10.8 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, included discrete tax benefits of $6.8 million attributable to employee share-based compensation and $0.9 million for the impact of restructuring charges.

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Business Segments**

The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations ("SAO") and Performance Engineered Products ("PEP").

The SAO segment is comprised of the Company's major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading and Latrobe, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas as well as South Carolina and Alabama. The combined assets of the SAO operations are managed in an integrated manner to optimize efficiency and profitability across the total system.

The PEP segment is comprised of the Company's differentiated operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Additive business and the Latrobe and Mexico distribution businesses. The businesses in the PEP segment are managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote flexibility and agility to quickly respond to market dynamics.

**(Unaudited)**

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer. The measure of profit and loss that is used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of these operating segments is operating income. The CODM uses operating income when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments in the annual operating plan and monthly performance review processes. The CODM considers variances of actual results compared to the annual operating plan and subsequent forecasts for each segment. Operating income for each of the Company's reportable segments is comprised of the segment's net sales less directly related product costs and other operating expenses. Segment operating results exclude general corporate costs, which include executive and director compensation, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also excluded are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, such as restructuring charges and other specifically identified income or expense items. Total net sales and operating earnings by segment include intersegment sales which are generally recorded at cost-plus a specified fee for a negotiated fixed price. All significant intersegment transactions have been eliminated from each reportable segment's net sales and earnings for all periods presented.

The service cost component of the Company's net pension expense, which represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities earned associated with active employees, is included in the operating income of the business segments. The residual net pension expense, which is comprised of the expected return on plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of the plans and amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs is included within other (income) expense, net, excluded from the business segments.

On a consolidated basis, no single customer accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024. No single customer accounted for 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable outstanding as of September 30, 2025 or June 30, 2025.

**<u>Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations</u>**

**Background and General**

We are a producer and distributor of premium specialty alloys, including titanium alloys, powder metals, stainless steels, alloy steels and tool steels. We are a recognized leader in high-performance specialty alloy materials and process solutions for critical applications in the aerospace and defense, medical, energy, transportation and industrial and consumer markets. Founded in 1889, we have evolved to become a pioneer in premium specialty alloys including nickel, cobalt, and titanium and material process capabilities that solve our customers' current and future material challenges. We primarily process basic raw materials such as nickel, cobalt, titanium, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, iron scrap and other metal alloying elements through various melting, hot forming and cold working facilities to produce finished products in the form of billet, bar, rod, wire and narrow strip in many sizes and finishes. We also produce certain metal powders and parts. Our sales are distributed directly from our production plants and distribution network as well as through independent distributors. Unlike many other specialty steel producers, we operate our own worldwide network of service and distribution centers. These service centers, located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia allow us to work more closely with customers and to offer various just-in-time stocking programs.

As part of our overall business strategy, we have sought out and considered opportunities related to strategic acquisitions and joint collaborations as well as possible business unit dispositions aimed at broadening our offering to the marketplace. We have participated with other companies to explore potential terms and structures of such opportunities and expect that we will continue to evaluate these opportunities.

Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our business, operations and financial condition included in Item 7 of our 2025 Form 10-K. Our discussions here focus on our results during or as of the three month period ended September 30, 2025, and the comparable period of fiscal year 2025, and to the extent applicable, on material changes from information discussed in the 2025 Form 10-K and other important intervening developments or information that we have reported on Form 8-K. These discussions should be read in conjunction with the 2025 Form 10-K for detailed background information and with any such intervening Form 8-K.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i441959124a0e45b4826f4536c131b266_7)</u>

**Impact of Raw Material Prices and Product Mix**

We value most of our inventory utilizing the LIFO inventory costing methodology. Under the LIFO inventory costing method, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period even though these materials may have been acquired at potentially significantly different values due to the length of time from the acquisition of the raw materials to the sale of the processed finished goods to the customers. In a period of rising raw material costs, the LIFO inventory valuation normally results in higher cost of sales. Conversely, in a period of decreasing raw material costs, the LIFO inventory valuation normally results in lower cost of sales.

The volatility of the costs of raw materials has impacted our operations over the past several years. We, and others in our industry, generally have been able to pass cost increases on major raw materials through to our customers using surcharges that are structured to recover increases in raw material costs including the impact of tariffs. Generally, the formula used to calculate a surcharge is based on published prices of the respective raw materials for the previous month which correlates to the prices we pay for our raw material purchases. However, a portion of our surcharges to customers may be calculated using a different surcharge formula or may be based on the raw material prices at the time of order, which creates a lag between surcharge revenue and corresponding raw material costs recognized in cost of sales. The surcharge mechanism protects our net income on such sales except for the lag effect discussed above. However, surcharges have had a dilutive effect on our gross margin and operating margin percentages as described later in this report.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 42 percent of our net sales were sales to customers under firm price sales arrangements. Firm price sales arrangements involve a risk of profit margin fluctuations, particularly when raw material prices are volatile. In order to reduce the risk of fluctuating profit margins on these sales, we enter into commodity forward contracts to purchase certain critical raw materials necessary to produce the related products sold. Firm price sales arrangements generally include certain annual purchasing commitments and consumption schedules agreed to by the customers at selling prices based on raw material prices at the time the arrangements are established. If a customer fails to meet the volume commitments (or the consumption schedule deviates from the agreed-upon terms of the firm price sales arrangements), we may need to absorb the gains or losses associated with the commodity forward contracts on a temporary basis. Gains or losses associated with commodity forward contracts are reclassified to earnings (loss) when earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Because we value most of our inventory under the LIFO costing methodology, changes in the cost of raw materials and production activities are recognized in cost of sales in the current period attempting to match the most recently incurred costs with revenues. Gains and/or losses on the commodity forward contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) together with the actual purchase price of the underlying commodities when the underlying commodities are purchased and recorded in inventory. To the extent that the total purchase price of the commodities, inclusive of the gains or losses on the commodity forward contracts, are higher or lower relative to the beginning of year costs, our cost of goods sold reflects such amounts. Accordingly, the gains and/or losses associated with commodity forward contracts may not impact the same period that the firm price sales arrangements revenue is recognized, and comparisons of gross profit from period to period may be impacted. These firm price sales arrangements are expected to continue as we look to strengthen our long-term customer relationships by expanding, renewing and, in certain cases, extending to a longer term, our customer arrangements.

We produce hundreds of grades of materials with a wide range of pricing and profit levels depending on the grade. In addition, our product mix within a period is subject to the fluctuating order patterns of our customers as well as decisions we may make on participation in certain products based on available capacity, including the impacts of capacity commitments we may have under existing customer agreements. While we expect to see positive contribution from a more favorable product mix in our margin performance over time, the impact by period may fluctuate and period-to-period comparisons may vary.

**Net Pension Expense**

Net pension expense, as we define it below, includes the net periodic benefit costs related to both our pension and other postretirement plans. The net periodic benefit costs are determined annually based on beginning of year balances and are recorded ratably throughout the fiscal year, unless a significant remeasurement event occurs. We currently expect the total net pension expense for fiscal year 2026 will be $14.3 million as compared with total net pension expense of $24.8 million in fiscal year 2025. The lower expected expense for fiscal year 2026 reflects higher plan assets and a higher expected return on plan assets compared to fiscal year 2025.

The service cost component of net pension expense represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities earned associated with active employees. The pension earnings, interest and deferrals is comprised of the expected return on plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of the plans and amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and benefits.

Net pension expense is recorded in accounts that are included in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and other (income) expense, net, based on the function of the associated employees and nature of expense. The following is a summary of the classification of net pension expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

**Operating Performance Overview and Outlook**

In the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we reported operating income of $153.3 million compared to $113.6 million in the prior year same quarter. Excluding the special item, as identified below, adjusted operating income was $117.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, represent an increase of 31 percent over the previous first fiscal quarter and surpassed our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, which at that time was a record. The SAO segment realized $170.7 million of operating income with an operating margin of 25.9 percent, or adjusted operating margin of 32.0 percent, an increase over the prior year same quarter of 20.8 percent, or adjusted operating margin of 26.3 percent. The SAO performance was driven by higher sales and expanding margins and marks the fifteenth consecutive quarter with increasing adjusted operating margins in the SAO segment.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we saw demand in our Aerospace and Defense end-use market pick up as the supply chain increases activity with the ramping build rates. As a result, we saw bookings for the Aerospace and Defense end-use market accelerate. We completed negotiations for several long-term agreements with aerospace customers, with significant price increases. Our ability to secure high-value contracts reflects our strong market position in an improving demand environment.

In addition to the strong operating performance, we generated $39.2 million of cash from operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with cash generated from operating activities of $40.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted free cash flow was negative $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with positive adjusted free cash flow of $13.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. With a strong balance sheet and meaningful cash provided from operations, we will continue to take a balanced approach to capital allocation: sustaining our current asset base to achieve our targets and investing in high value growth initiatives like the recently announced brownfield capacity expansion while returning cash to shareholders. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 200,000 shares of our common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $49.1 million.

Looking over the long-term, we expect that the same dynamics that are driving our current performance will get stronger. Our expected future increases in operating income will be driven by increasing sales and expanding margins from improving productivity, product mix and pricing actions. The markets that we serve, in particular Aerospace and Defense and Energy have a strong multi-year outlook. We are investing to accelerate our growth with our recently announced brownfield expansion which will add primary and secondary melt capacity. We believe Carpenter Technology is well-positioned to achieve our goals and continue to grow over the long-term.

We are monitoring the status of the U.S. government shutdown and analyzing how a continued shutdown could impact our business. Additionally, we continue to closely monitor the evolving tariff news as well as engage with our customers and suppliers to analyze how tariffs could impact our business. We, as well as others in our industry, have established long-standing surcharge mechanisms to pass through changes in raw material prices to our customers. We are using and will continue to use these surcharge mechanisms to pass through the impact of any incremental tariffs on our raw material costs to our customers. As such, at this time, based on current information we believe that tariffs will not have a material impact on the Company.

**<u>Results of Operations — Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2024</u>** 

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we reported net income of $122.5 million, or $2.43 earnings per diluted share. This compares with net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $84.8 million, or $1.67 earnings per diluted share. Excluding the special item, as identified below, adjusted earnings per diluted share was $1.73 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflect an ongoing improvement in product mix with a shift in capacity to more complex, higher value materials as well as pricing actions and expanding operational efficiencies compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges of $3.6 million as a result of actions taken to streamline operations in the Carpenter Additive business as announced during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

**Net Sales**

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $733.7 million, which is a 2 percent increase over the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 4 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results excluding surcharge revenue reflect realized price increases and improving product mix during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales in the Aerospace and Defense end-use market increased 11 percent compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Geographically, domestic net sales increased 3 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $432.4 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, domestic sales increased 5 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by stronger sales in the Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use markets. Sales outside the United States increased 2 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $301.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales outside the United States increased 4 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting higher sales in Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use markets in the European region offset by lower shipments in the Energy end-use market in the Asia Pacific region and lower sales in the Aerospace and Defense end-use market in Mexico compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. A portion of our sales outside the United States are denominated in foreign currencies. The impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates resulted in a $0.5 million increase in net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net sales outside the United States represented 41 percent of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The three months ended September 30, 2025, also reflect higher sales in the Defense end-use market for program specific applications.

Medical end-use market sales decreased 14 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $74.5 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales decreased 16 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, results reflect lower shipments as a result of the medical supply chain managing inventory levels closely, partially offset by realized price increases particularly in the dental sub-market compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Energy end-use market sales of $54.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflect a 4 percent increase from the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 8 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results reflect higher demand in the power generation sub-market for both new and refurbished industrial gas turbines to power data centers partially offset by decreased rig counts and decreased shipments for material used in the oil and gas sub-market compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Transportation end-use market sales decreased 19 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $22.8 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales decreased 15 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results reflect weaker consumer demand for light-duty vehicles partially offset by higher demand in specialty transportation applications compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Industrial and Consumer end-use market sales increased 2 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $92.9 million. Excluding surcharge revenue, sales increased 4 percent from the three months ended September 30, 2024. The results reflect higher demand for semiconductor and consumer electronics materials in the Industrial and Consumer end-use market compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

**Gross Profit**

Our gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased to $216.4 million, or 29.5 percent of net sales, as compared with $176.3 million, or 24.6 percent of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of surcharge revenue, our adjusted gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2025, was 35.9 percent as compared to 30.5 percent in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increased gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflects an ongoing improvement in product mix with a shift in capacity to more complex, higher value materials as well as pricing actions and expanding operational efficiencies.

Our surcharge mechanism is structured to recover increases in raw material costs, although in certain cases with a lag effect as discussed above. While the surcharge generally protects the absolute gross profit dollars, it does have a dilutive effect on gross margin as a percent of sales. We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing the impact of these items provides a more consistent and meaningful basis for comparing results of operations from period to period. See the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for further discussion of these financial measures. The following represents a summary of the dilutive impact of the surcharge on gross margin.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses**

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $63.1 million or 8.6 percent of net sales (10.5 percent of net sales excluding surcharge) as compared with $59.1 million or 8.2 percent of net sales (10.2 percent of net sales excluding surcharge) in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflect higher salary, benefit and variable compensation costs and an increase in professional service fees compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

**Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no restructuring and asset impairment charges compared to $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The restructuring charges in the three months ended September 30, 2024, were a result of actions taken to streamline operations in our Carpenter Additive business in the PEP segment, as announced in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

**Operating Income**

Our operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $153.3 million, or 20.9 percent of net sales, as compared with operating income of $113.6 million, or 15.8 percent of net sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, adjusted operating margin was 25.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding surcharge revenue and the special item, adjusted operating margin was 20.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflect an ongoing improvement in product mix with a shift in capacity to more complex, higher value materials as well as pricing actions and expanding operational efficiencies compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, in which we recognized restructuring and asset impairment charges of $3.6 million related to actions taken to streamline operations in our Carpenter Additive business in the PEP segment.

**Interest Expense, Net** 

Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $11.5 million compared with $12.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Capitalized interest reduced interest expense by $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The lower interest expense, net is due to increased capitalized interest in relation to the brownfield expansion, in the three months ended September 30, 2025.

**Other (Income) Expense, Net** 

Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $3.0 million as compared with $0.1 million of other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The three months ended September 30, 2025, reflect $1.4 million of expense from pension earnings, interest and deferrals compared to $3.9 million of expense from pension earnings, interest and deferrals in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

**Income Taxes**

Income tax expense was $22.3 million, or 15.4 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with income tax expense of $16.3 million, or 16.1 percent of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes discrete tax benefits of $10.8 million attributable to employee share-based compensation. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included discrete tax benefits of $6.8 million attributable to employee share-based compensation and $0.9 million for the impact of restructuring charges.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The provisions of the OBBBA have varying effective dates. The OBBBA allows an elective deduction for domestic research and development expenses, a reinstatement of elective 100 percent first-year bonus depreciation and modifies the tax rates on Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income and income from non-U.S. subsidiaries (Net CFC Tested Income), among other provisions. A quantitative estimate of the specific financial effects for future periods cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the complexity of the changes in the tax reform. The impact of the provisions in the OBBBA will depend on our facts in each fiscal year and anticipated guidance from the Internal Revenue Service.

On October 8, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released a statement on the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, which agreed to a two-pillar solution to address tax challenges of the digital economy. On December 20, 2021, the OECD released Pillar Two model rules defining a 15 percent global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations. The OECD continues to release additional guidance and countries are implementing legislation with widespread adoption of the Pillar Two Framework. In June 2025, the U.S. and the G-7 countries announced the intention to reach an agreement that would exempt U.S. parented multinationals from certain of the Pillar Two rules. The details of that agreement and its applicability globally have not been finalized. We determined the Pillar Two Framework as it exists today does not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

***Specialty Alloys Operations Segment***

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 for the SAO segment increased 2 percent to $659.6 million, as compared with $645.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 5 percent compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The higher sales are driven by realized price increases and improving product mix in the Aerospace and Defense and Energy end-use markets compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Operating income for the SAO segment was $170.7 million or 25.9 percent of net sales (32.0 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with operating income of $134.5 million or 20.8 percent of net sales (26.3 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the three months ended September 30, 2024. This marks the fifteenth consecutive quarter with increasing adjusted operating margins in SAO. The operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflects stronger product mix and operational efficiency gains compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

***Performance Engineered Products Segment***

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 for the PEP segment decreased 7 percent to $93.6 million, as compared with $100.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding surcharge revenue, net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased 6 percent compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The current quarter results reflect lower sales in Medical and Distribution end-use markets partially offset by growth in the Aerospace and Defense end-use market.

Operating income for the PEP segment was $9.4 million or 10.0 percent of net sales (10.8 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with operating income of $7.3 million or 7.2 percent of net sales (7.9 percent of net sales excluding surcharge revenue) in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The improved results for the three months ended September 30, 2025 reflect improved operational efficiencies compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

**Liquidity and Financial Resources**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we generated cash from operating activities of $39.2 million as compared to $40.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our adjusted free cash flow, which we define under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below, was negative $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to positive $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in adjusted free cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflects higher capital expenditures, namely from the brownfield expansion, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cash generated from inventory was $15.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $16.8 million of cash used to build inventory in the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, cash flow was negatively impacted by $36.2 million of higher accounts receivable compared to $3.4 million of cash generated from accounts receivable in the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Capital expenditures for property, plant, equipment and software were $42.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. In fiscal year 2026, we expect capital expenditures, including the brownfield expansion, to be in the range of $280.0 million to $300.0 million.

We evaluate liquidity needs for alternative uses including funding external growth opportunities, share repurchases as well as funding consistent dividend payments to stockholders. Dividends for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $10.1 million which were the same as $10.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. In the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 we declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.20 per share. Additionally, we will discretionarily use excess cash for a share repurchase program up to $400.0 million of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 200,000 shares of our common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $49.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 230,000 shares of our common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $32.1 million. As of September 30, 2025, $249.0 million remained available for future purchases.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we made pension contributions of $5.9 million to our qualified defined benefit pension plans. We currently expect to make required contributions of $17.6 million to our domestic qualified defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal year 2026.

We have demonstrated the ability to generate cash to meet our needs through cash flows from operations, management of working capital and the ability to access capital markets to supplement internally generated funds. We target minimum liquidity of $150.0 million, consisting of cash and cash equivalents added to available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility.

On April 14, 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer and the other lenders, agents and arrangers party thereto. The Credit Facility amended and restated our then existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 26, 2021, which had been set to expire on March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility extends the maturity to April 12, 2028.

The Credit Facility is a secured revolving credit facility with a commitment of $350.0 million subject to our right, from time to time, to request an increase of the commitment by the greater of (i) $300.0 million or (ii) an amount equal to our consolidated EBITDA; and provides for the issuance of letters of credit subject to a $40.0 million sub-limit. We have the right to voluntarily prepay and re-borrow loans, to terminate or reduce the commitments under the Credit Facility, and, subject to certain lender approvals, to join subsidiaries as subsidiary borrowers.

As of September 30, 2025, the borrowing rate for the Credit Facility was 6.01%, however, we had no short-term borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, we had $1.1 million of issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility and the balance of the Credit Facility, $348.9 million, remains available to us.

We believe that our total liquidity of $556.9 million as of September 30, 2025, which includes total cash and cash equivalents of $208.0 million and available borrowing capacity of $348.9 million under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our cash needs over the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.2 million held at various foreign subsidiaries. Our global cash deployment considers, among other things, the geographic and institutional location of our subsidiaries' cash balances, the locations of our anticipated liquidity needs and the cost to access international cash balances, as necessary. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we repatriated no cash from foreign jurisdictions. From time to time, we may make short-term intercompany borrowings against our cash held outside the United States in order to reduce or eliminate any required borrowing under our Credit Facility.

We are subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility which requires the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated net leverage ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00. The restrictions of these covenants (other than the financial ratio covenants) are subject to certain exceptions or threshold triggering amounts or events specified in the Credit Facility, and in some cases the restrictions may be waived by the lenders. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of the Credit Facility.

The following table shows our actual ratio performance with respect to the financial covenants as of September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Covenant** | **Covenant Requirement** | **Actual Ratio** |
| Consolidated interest coverage ratio | 3.00 to 1.00 (minimum) | 15.48 to 1.00 |
| Consolidated net leverage ratio | 4.00 to 1.00 (maximum) | 0.81 to 1.00 |

---

To the extent that we do not comply with the current or modified covenants under the Credit Facility, this could reduce our liquidity and flexibility due to potential restrictions on borrowings available to us unless we are able to obtain waivers or modifications of the covenants.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The following provides additional information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures that we use in this report. Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies.

***Net Sales and Gross Margin Excluding Surcharge Revenue***

This report includes discussions of net sales as adjusted to exclude the impact of raw material surcharge and the resulting impact on gross margin, which represent financial measures that have not been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing the impact of raw material surcharge from net sales provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period for the reasons discussed earlier in this report. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, our Board of Directors and others. See our earlier discussion of "Gross Profit" for a reconciliation of net sales and gross margin, excluding surcharge revenue, to net sales as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net sales and gross margin excluding surcharge revenue are not U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net sales and gross margin calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin Excluding Surcharge Revenue and Special Items***

This report includes discussions of operating income and operating margin as adjusted to exclude the impact of raw material surcharge revenue and special items which represent financial measures that have not been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We present and discuss these financial measures because management believes removing the impact of raw material surcharge from net sales provides a more consistent and meaningful basis for comparing results of operations from period to period for the reasons discussed earlier in this report. In addition, management believes that excluding special items from operating income and operating margin is helpful in analyzing our operating performance, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, our Board of Directors and others. See our earlier discussion of operating income for a reconciliation of adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin excluding surcharge revenue and special items to operating income and operating margin determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin excluding surcharge revenue and special items are not U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income and operating margin calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share***

The following provides a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per diluted share, to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures:

---

\* Impact per diluted share calculated using weighted average common shares outstanding of 50.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Management believes that the presentation of earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude the impact of special items is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company's Board of Directors and others. Our definitions and calculations of these items may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, earnings per diluted share calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***Adjusted Free Cash Flow***

This report includes discussions of adjusted free cash flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to adjusted free cash flow reported by other companies. The following provides a reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow, as used in this report, to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended<br>September 30,** | **Three Months Ended<br>September 30,** |
|<br>**($ in millions)** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash provided from operating activities | $39.2 | $40.2 |
| Purchases of property, plant, equipment and software | (42.6) | (26.9) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted free cash flow | $(3.4) | $13.3 |

---

Management believes that the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition because it is a measure of cash generated which management evaluates for alternative uses. It is management's current intention to use excess cash to fund investments in capital equipment, acquisition opportunities and consistent dividend payments. Additionally, we will discretionarily use excess cash for an approved share repurchase program up to $400.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Adjusted free cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

**Contingencies**

***Environmental***

We are subject to various federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulations relating to pollution, protection of public health and the environment, natural resource damages and occupational safety and health. Although compliance with these laws and regulations may affect the costs of our operations, compliance costs to date have not been material. We have environmental remediation liabilities at some of our owned operating facilities and have been designated as a PRP with respect to certain third party Superfund waste-disposal sites and other third party-owned sites. We accrue amounts for environmental remediation costs that represent our best estimate of the probable and reasonably estimable future costs related to environmental remediation. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the liability for environmental remediation costs remained flat. The liabilities recorded for environmental remediation costs at Superfund sites, other third party-owned sites and Carpenter-owned current or former operating facilities remaining at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 were $17.4 million and $17.4 million, respectively. Additionally, we have been notified that we may be a PRP with respect to other Superfund sites as to which no proceedings have been instituted against us. Neither the exact amount of remediation costs nor the final method of their allocation among all designated PRPs at these Superfund sites have been determined. Accordingly, at this time, we cannot reasonably estimate expected costs for such matters. The liability for future environmental remediation costs that can be reasonably estimated is evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Estimates of the amount and timing of future costs of environmental remediation requirements are inherently imprecise because of the continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements, the availability and application of technology, the identification of currently unknown remediation sites and the allocation of costs among the PRPs. Based upon information currently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, such costs could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

***Other***

We are defending various routine claims and legal actions that are incidental to our business, and that are common to our operations, including those pertaining to product claims, commercial disputes, patent infringement, employment actions, employee benefits, compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, personal injury claims and tax issues. Like many other manufacturing companies in recent years we, from time to time, have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals and substances in the workplace such as asbestos. We provide for costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing (both as to recording future charges to operations and cash expenditures) of the resolution of such matters. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of these matters, we believe that the total liability from these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows over the long-term. However, there can be no assurance that an increase in the scope of pending matters or that any future lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations will not be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular future quarter or year.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

A summary of other significant accounting policies is discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 thereto.

***Long-Lived Assets***

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired assets over the fair value of the assets based upon estimated future discounted cash flows. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment by individual business unit. Changes in estimated cash flows could have a significant impact on whether or not an asset is impaired and the amount of the impairment.

***Goodwill***

Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested at least annually for impairment as of June 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill may first be assessed based on qualitative factors (Step 0) to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment test is necessary. In fiscal year 2025, we performed the Step 0 qualitative assessment rather than immediately performing the Step 1 quantitative valuation as has been done historically. The qualitative assessment includes, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, reporting unit-specific financial performance and other events, such as strategy and primary customer base.

As of September 30, 2025, we have two reporting units with goodwill recorded. Goodwill associated with the SAO reporting unit as of September 30, 2025, was $195.5 million and represents 86 percent of total goodwill. The remaining goodwill recorded as of September 30, 2025, of $31.8 million is associated with the Dynamet reporting unit in the PEP segment.

For fiscal year 2025, we concluded that the qualitative assessment for each of the reporting units as of June 1, 2025 was appropriate given (a) just one year has passed since we performed a full valuation of the reporting units, (b) the June 1, 2024 valuations of our reporting units yielded significant cushions between the fair value and carrying value, and (c) there had been no significant adverse changes to the Company since the prior year. Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, and consideration of the totality of the positive and mitigating events and circumstances with adverse factors, we concluded there was no indication that it was more likely than not that any of our reporting units' carrying values (with allocated goodwill) exceeded their respective fair values as of June 30, 2025.

When preparing the quantitative impairment test, if applicable, potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The discounted cash flow analysis for each reporting unit tested requires significant estimates and assumptions related to cash flow forecasts, discount rates, terminal values and income tax rates. The cash flow forecasts include significant judgments and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, which include perpetual growth rates, gross margin and weighted average cost of capital. The cash flow forecasts are developed based on assumptions about each reporting unit's markets, product offerings, pricing, capital expenditure and working capital requirements as well as cost performance.

The discount rates used in the discounted cash flow are estimated based on a market participant's perspective of each reporting unit's weighted average cost of capital. The terminal value, which represents the value attributed to the reporting unit beyond the forecast period, is estimated using a perpetuity growth rate assumption. The income tax rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis represent estimates of the long-term statutory income tax rates for each reporting unit based on the jurisdictions in which the reporting units operate.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i441959124a0e45b4826f4536c131b266_7)</u>

The estimate of fair value requires significant judgment. We based our fair value estimates on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including estimates of future growth rates and operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate and the competitive environment for our business units. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill and identifiable intangible asset testing as of the time of testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business projections, competitive environments or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record goodwill and/or intangible asset impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present before our next annual evaluation. We continuously monitor for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value of the reporting units.

**<u>Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk</u>**

We use derivative financial instruments to reduce certain types of financial risk. Firm price sales arrangements involve a risk of profit margin fluctuations particularly as raw material prices have been volatile. Firm price sales arrangements generally include certain annual purchasing commitments and consumption schedules agreed to by the customers at selling prices based on raw material prices at the time the arrangements are established. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, "Financial Statements," in order to reduce the risk of fluctuating profit margins on these sales, we enter into commodity forward contracts to purchase certain critical raw materials necessary to produce the products sold under the firm price sales arrangements. If a customer fails to perform its obligations under the firm price sales arrangements, we may realize losses as a result of the related commodity forward contracts. As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $0.6 million of net deferred losses related to commodity forward contracts to purchase certain raw materials. A large portion of this balance is related to commodity forward contracts to support firm price sales arrangements associated with many customers in addition to credit already extended to these customers in connection with outstanding trade receivables. Our customers have historically performed under these arrangements, and we believe that they will honor such obligations in the future.

We are actively involved in managing risks associated with energy resources. Risk containment strategies include interaction with primary and secondary energy suppliers as well as obtaining adequate insurance coverage to compensate us for potential business interruption related to lack of availability of energy resources. In addition, we have used forwards to fix the price of a portion of our anticipated future purchases of certain energy requirements to protect against the impact of significant increases in energy costs. We also use surcharge mechanisms to offset a portion of these charges where appropriate.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could subject us to risk of losses on anticipated future cash flows from our international operations or customers. Foreign currency forward contracts are used to hedge certain foreign exchange risk.

Historically, we have used interest rate swaps to achieve a level of floating rate debt relative to fixed rate debt where appropriate. From time to time, we have entered into forward interest rate swap contracts to manage the risk of cash flow variability associated with fixed interest debt expected to be issued.

All hedging strategies are reviewed and approved by senior financial management before being implemented. Senior financial management has established policies regarding the use of derivative instruments that prohibit the use of speculative or leveraged derivatives.

Based on the current funding level, the benchmark allocation policy for the Company's largest pension plan assets is to have approximately 75 percent in return seeking assets and 25 percent in liability-hedging assets. Return seeking assets include global equities, diversified credit and real assets. Liability-hedging assets include bond funds and cash. When the funding level of the plan reaches 95 percent and improves to fully or over-funded status in increments of 5 percent, assets will be shifted from return seeking to liability-hedging assets in accordance with the glidepath policy outlined in the pension plan's Investment Policy Statement.

The status of our financial instruments as of September 30, 2025, is provided in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Assuming either of the following occurred on September 30, 2025, (a) an instantaneous 10 percent decrease in the price of raw materials and energy for which we have commodity forward contracts, or (b) a 10 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies for which foreign exchange forward contracts existed, our results of operations would not have been materially affected in either scenario.

**<u>Item 4. Controls and Procedures</u>**

(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a—15(e) and 15d—15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025, were effective in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required under the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**<u>PART II — OTHER INFORMATION</u>**

**<u>Item 1. Legal Proceedings</u>**

Pending legal proceedings involve ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we do not believe would have a material adverse effect on our business regardless of their outcome. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contingencies."

**<u>Item 1A. Risk Factors</u>**

We have evaluated the risks associated with our business and operations and determined that those risk factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K adequately disclose the material risks that we face.

**<u>Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds</u>**

In July 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $400.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. There is no stated expiration for the share repurchase program. The shares may be repurchased from time to time at our discretion based on capital needs of the business, general market conditions and market price of the stock. The timing or amount of the shares to be repurchased cannot be assured. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2025, $249.0 million of the $400.0 million remained available for future purchases. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company purchased 200,000 shares pursuant to the terms of the share repurchase program.

The following table contains information about purchases by us of our common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2025:

In addition to the share repurchase program, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, 171,121 shares, at an average purchase price of $266.74, were surrendered by employees to the Company for the payment of the minimum tax liability withholding obligations upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock as well as the cost obligations of stock options exercised. We do not consider this a share repurchase program.

**<u>Item 5. Other Information</u>**

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act).
