**PITTSBURGH, PA, May 7, 2026 –** Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) announced results today for the first quarter 2026.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, "The Howmet team delivered a strong start to 2026, with revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share all exceeding the high end of guidance. Revenue growth accelerated to 19% year over year, driven by strong growth across our key end markets, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 320 basis points year over year to 32.0%. Free cash flow performance was outstanding at $359 million after spending $94 million in capital expenditures, supporting the future growth rate of the Company. The free cash flow also enabled $300 million in common stock repurchases."

Mr. Plant continued, "Looking ahead, we see a robust growth outlook in the key markets Howmet serves with its differentiated products and solutions. Commercial aerospace OEM customers continue to target production rate increases supported by record backlogs. Engine spares needs continue to increase, although an effect could be felt from the Iranian conflict. Defense markets remain healthy, while the gas turbines market is also very active. We see signs of demand improvement in commercial transportation, although we remain cautious."

"The beginning of 2026 was very active regarding the Howmet portfolio, and our updated guidance reflects these changes. We closed the CAM and Brunner acquisitions, adding revenue to Fastening Systems, while also divesting a disk forging business within Engineered Structures. These transactions followed our stated strategy of allocating capital to the businesses that demonstrate higher growth and margin potential. The net revenue effect of the portfolio adjustments in the year's guidance adds approximately $275 million, and the EPS effect is insignificant in 2026 with accretion expected in 2027."

<sup>1</sup> Reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as the directly comparable GAAP measures, are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity of the charges and other components excluded from the non-GAAP measures, such as gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes, and any future restructuring or impairment charges. In addition, there is inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, price/mix and volume. Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

**Consolidated Results**

Howmet Aerospace reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $2.31 billion, up 19% year over year, and Adjusted EPS of $1.22, up 42% year over year. Revenue was driven by 20% growth in the commercial aerospace market, 10% growth in the defense aerospace market and 39% growth in the gas turbines market.

The Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $740 million, up 32% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace market and the gas turbines market. Adjusted EBITDA margin was up approximately 320 basis points year over year at 32.0%.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increased approximately 350 basis points year over year to 30.5%.

On March 3, 2026, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due 2028, $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.90% notes due 2029, and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% notes due 2036.

**Completed Acquisition of CAM for approximately $1.8 Billion**

On April 6, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of CAM for approximately $1.8 billion from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

In the first quarter 2026, the Company moved a titanium alloy production operation from Engine Products to Engineered Structures for better operational alignment. The comparable periods of Engine Products and Engineered Structures have been recast to reflect the new alignment.

<sup>(1)</sup> In order to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per share through December 31, 2025, preferred stock dividends declared of less than $1 for the quarters presented need to be subtracted from Net income.

<sup>(2)</sup> For the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with outstanding restricted stock unit awards and employee stock options.

<sup>(3)</sup> As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share, the full impact of share repurchases is not fully realized in earnings per share ("EPS") in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying points during a period.

Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company reorganized Howmet's segments by moving a titanium alloy location from Engine Products to Engineered Structures as it better aligns with the operations of the Engineered Structures segment. The comparable periods of Engine Products and Engineered Structures have been recast to reflect the new alignment. The recasting had no impact on the Company's consolidated results, financial position or cash flows.

Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's operating performance and the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet's definition of Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating Income excluding Restructuring and other charges (credits) and Special items and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges (credits), are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Current and prior periods' Segment Adjusted EBITDA calculations have not changed although the definitions have been simplified. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

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

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

Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Restructuring and other (credits) charges, Discrete tax items, and Other special items (collectively, "Special items"). There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS. The change in the titles of and removal of "excluding special items" from Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items to Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS has not changed the definition of these measures.

<sup>(1)</sup> Restructuring and other (credits) charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 included a gain on the sale of the Company's disk forging facility in Savannah, GA within Engineered Structures. Restructuring and other (credits) charges for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $89 primarily resulting from the purchase of group annuity contracts with a third-party carrier to pay and administer future annuity payments for its U.K. pension plan which reduced gross pension obligations.

<sup>(2)</sup> Includes legal and advisory costs, amortization expense of inventory step-up recorded in accordance with purchase accounting, and other acquisition-related costs. Additionally, includes interest expense related to the Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC acquisition.

<sup>(3)</sup> The Tax impact of Pre-tax special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and the Company's consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a Special item.

<sup>(4)</sup> Discrete tax items for each period included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· for
 1Q25, a net charge related to the expiration of a tax holiday in China $6, a charge for a
 tax reserve established in Germany $2, and a net charge for other small items $1;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· for
 4Q25, a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign tax credits ($8),
 a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. state tax losses and credits ($6),
 a net benefit for prior year tax adjustments ($4), an excess benefit for stock compensation
 ($3), a benefit related to re-establishing a tax holiday in China ($4), a net benefit for
 other small items ($2), and a charge related to the expiration of a tax holiday in China
 $2; and

There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both the Effective tax rate determined under GAAP as well as the Operational tax rate.
