CANTON, Ohio: February 19, 2026 – Metallus (NYSE: MTUS), a leader in high-quality specialty metals, manufactured components and supply chain solutions, today reported fourth-quarter 2025 net sales of $267.3 million and net loss of $14.3 million, or a loss of $0.34 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis<sup>(2)</sup>, the fourth-quarter 2025 net loss was $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.18 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million.

This compares with the sequential third-quarter 2025 net sales of $305.9 million and net income of $8.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis<sup>(2)</sup>, the third-quarter 2025 net income was $11.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million.

In the same quarter last year, net sales were $240.5 million with a net loss of $21.4 million, or a loss of $0.50 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis<sup>(2)</sup>, the fourth-quarter 2024 net loss was $3.9 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $8.3 million.

"In 2025, we delivered higher shipments to our customers supported by strengthening demand across our key end markets as the need for domestic steel grew," stated Mike Williams, chief executive officer. "Our aerospace and defense product line delivered strong growth as we expanded customer relationships, increased our presence, and achieved new orders in these strategically important markets. We also advanced our government funded assets to support the growth in 2026 and beyond."

"While we were not satisfied with our fourth-quarter performance, we took the opportunity to implement longer-term operational improvements and are increasing hourly staffing levels in targeted areas to meet growing demand. As a result, our operations performed better to date in the first quarter. This is an encouraging start to 2026, supported by an order book that is now up more than 50% year-over-year.

"Looking ahead, we expect first-quarter adjusted EBITDA to increase sequentially, providing the foundation for anticipated stronger performance in each quarter of 2026 compared with the same periods in 2025."

**FOURTH-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL SUMMARY** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Net sales** of $267.3 million decreased 13 percent compared with $305.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decline primarily reflects lower shipments, primarily related to normal seasonality and a slower than expected ramp-up following annual shutdown maintenance, lower product mix, and lower raw material surcharge revenue per ton resulting from compressed scrap prices. Compared with the prior-year fourth quarter, net sales increased 11 percent, driven primarily by higher shipments across the majority of end markets and increased raw material surcharge revenue per ton, partially offset by a decrease in average base sales<sup>(2)</sup> prices and lower product mix.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Ship tons** of 148,000 decreased 15,100 tons sequentially, or 9 percent, primarily driven by lower shipments across all end markets. Compared with the prior-year fourth quarter, shipments increased 14 percent driven by higher shipments across all end-markets except energy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Manufacturing** costs increased as expected primarily due to the planned annual shutdown maintenance and reduced fixed cost leverage associated with lower production volume compared with the third quarter of 2025. Melt utilization declined to 66 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 72 percent in the third quarter, and compared to 56 percent in the same quarter last year.

**FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY**

Net income for the full-year 2025 was a loss of $1.2 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the full-year 2024. On an adjusted basis<sup>(2)</sup>, full-year 2025 net income was $15.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $75.6 million. In comparison, full-year 2024 net income on an adjusted basis<sup>(2)</sup>was $24.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA<sup>(2)</sup> was $77.7 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Net sales** of $1.2 billion increased 7 percent compared with the full-year 2024, driven by higher shipments and raw material surcharge revenue partially offset by a decrease in average base sales<sup>(2)</sup> prices and lower product mix. Within the aerospace & defense end market, net sales increased by 19 percent to $160.6 million compared with the full-year 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, aerospace & defense increased to 14 percent of the total in 2025 compared with 12 percent of the total in 2024 and 8 percent of the total in 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Ship tons** were 631,700, an increase of 14 percent from 2024 on higher shipments in all end markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Manufacturing** costs improved slightly compared with 2024, primarily due to increased cost absorption driven by higher production, partially offset by general inflation and higher utility costs. Melt utilization rose to 69 percent in 2025, up from 60 percent in 2024.

**CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY**

As of December 31, 2025, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $156.7 million. For the full year 2025, the company generated operating cash flow of $16.0 million. Capital expenditures totaled $109.0 million in 2025 including $81.3 million for projects funded by the U.S. government. Total liquidity<sup>(1)</sup> was $389.2 million as of December 31, 2025.

------

![img203915712_1.jpg](img203915712_1.jpg)

The company repurchased 0.1 million common shares during the fourth quarter at an aggregate cost of $1.2 million, and for the full year 2025 repurchased a total of 0.9 million common shares at a cost of $13.1 million. For the full year 2025, common share repurchases and convertible note settlements represented 3.8 percent of outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2025, the company had $89.7 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.

During the fourth quarter, the company received $4.1 million from the U.S. Army as part of the previously announced $99.75 million capacity expansion funding agreement in support of the U.S. Army's mission of ramping up munitions production. The company has received $85.6 million of total government funding during 2024 and 2025.

**OUTLOOK**

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

Commercial:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•First-quarter shipments are expected to increase approximately 10% compared with the fourth quarter supported by continued strength in the order book.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Lead times for bar products currently extend to mid-second quarter and tube product lead times currently extend to mid-third quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Annual price agreement negotiations covering approximately 70 percent of the order book are substantially complete. Average base price per ton for customers covered by annual agreements is expected to increase slightly throughout 2026 compared with average base price per ton for the full year 2025, mix dependent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Based on lead times and mix, pricing benefit and mix margin lift is expected to ramp each quarter of 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The company recently implemented spot price increases on both bar and seamless mechanical tubing products not covered by an annual pricing agreement, effective throughout the second quarter and early third quarter, product dependent.

Operations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The company anticipates a sequential increase in its first quarter average melt utilization rate, supported by greater stability and reliability across key assets as well as continued strengthening of the order book.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Manufacturing costs are expected to sequentially improve by approximately $10 million in the first quarter following the completion of planned annual shutdown maintenance in the fourth quarter and expected higher first-quarter melt utilization, resulting in improved cost absorption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The United Steelworkers ("USW") ratified a new four-year labor agreement with Metallus on February 5, 2026. As part of the recently approved union contract, a one-time payment of approximately $2.0 million will be paid in the first quarter of 2026.

------

![img203915712_1.jpg](img203915712_1.jpg)

Other matters:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Planned capital expenditures are approximately $70 million in 2026, inclusive of approximately $35 million of capital expenditures partially funded by the U.S. government. Additional payments of approximately $17 million are expected to be received in first half of 2026, contingent on the achievement of mutually agreed milestones.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•During the first quarter, the company expects to make required pension contributions of approximately $15 to $18 million, a significant reduction compared to the first quarter of 2025. Full-year 2026 required pension contributions are expected to total approximately $27 million, a nearly 60% reduction from 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•An effective income tax rate between 27 and 30 percent is expected in 2026.

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

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

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