<sup>1</sup> Reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP 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 – for further detail, see "2026 Guidance" below.

Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $653 million, up 29% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and gas turbines markets. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 330 basis points year over year at 30.1%.

The Company reported record full year 2025 revenue of $8.3 billion, up 11% year over year, driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 12%, growth in the defense aerospace market of 21%, and growth in the gas turbines market of 25%, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market of 5%.

The Company reported Net Income of $1.5 billion, or $3.71 per share, in the full year 2025 versus $1.2 billion, or $2.81 per share, in the full year 2024, and included approximately $25 million in net charges from special items, primarily due to a non-cash settlement charge to annuitize the remainder of the Company's UK pension plan. Net Income excluding special items was $1.5 billion, or $3.77 per share, in the full year 2025, versus $1.1 billion, or $2.69 per share, in the full year 2024.

Full year 2025 Operating Income was $2.0 billion, up 25% year over year. Full year 2025 Adjusted Operating Income excluding special items was $2.1 billion, up 30% year over year. Operating Income Margin was up approximately 280 basis points year over year at 24.8% in the full year 2025. Full year 2025 Adjusted Operating Income Margin excluding special items was 25.8%, up approximately 380 basis points year over year.

Full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $2.4 billion, up 26% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and gas turbines markets, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market. Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding special items was up approximately 350 basis points year over year at 29.3%.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, "The Howmet team delivered an exceptional quarter to cap a strong 2025. Revenue growth accelerated in the fourth quarter 2025 to 15% year over year, reflecting healthy growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and gas turbines markets. Adjusted EBITDA<sup>\*</sup> grew 29% year over year to $653 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin\* increased approximately 330 basis points to 30.1%, both records. Adjusted Earnings per Share<sup>\*</sup> grew 42% to a record $1.05. Free Cash Flow for full year 2025 was $1.43 billion and 93% conversion of Net Income<sup>\*</sup> after record capital expenditures of $453 million as Howmet continued to invest for growth."

\* Excluding special items

Mr. Plant continued, "Healthy cash generation supported significant capital deployment in the fourth quarter with $200 million in share repurchases, $55 million for preferred share redemption, and $125 million for debt reduction. In full year 2025, Howmet repurchased a record $700 million of common stock and paid approximately $181 million in dividends. Also in the quarter, Howmet entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CAM for approximately $1.8 billion, expected to close in the first half 2026. The CAM and Brunner acquisitions will further strengthen Howmet's fastener portfolio. An additional $150 million of Howmet stock has been repurchased so far in 2026 reflecting continued confidence in Howmet's cash performance."

"Turning to 2026, the vast majority of the markets we serve are in a growth phase, while the commercial transportation market shows signs of stabilizing. Commercial aerospace continues to benefit from rising passenger demand and recent multi-year under-build of aircraft that together have led to a record OEM backlog stretching into the next decade. In addition to robust growth in new builds, engine spares needs continue to increase. Defense markets are also very healthy, while engine spares continue to grow to support the expanding aircraft fleet. The gas turbines business is entering its largest growth phase in years, with extremely high demand for electricity generation, especially from natural gas for data centers. In commercial transportation, we anticipate that the first quarter 2026 will be the quarterly low point and then we will begin to see healthy demand in the second half of 2026. Howmet is well positioned for growth in 2026 and beyond."

\* Excluding Special Items

<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.

**Howmet Aerospace will hold its quarterly conference call at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on Thursday, February 12, 2026. The call will be webcast via www.howmet.com. The press release and presentation materials will be available at approximately 7:00 AM ET on February 12, via the "Investors" section of the Howmet Aerospace website.**

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.

<sup>(1)</sup> We compute free cash flow conversion on an annual basis only due to the cycle of our businesses.

<sup>(2)</sup> Please refer to the Reconciliation of Net income excluding Special items for the reconciliation from Net income to Net income excluding Special items.

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 (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items 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 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 Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items.

<sup>(1)</sup> Restructuring and other charges for the quarter ended and year 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. Restructuring and other charges for FY 2024 included a net loss on the sale of a small U.K. manufacturing facility in Engineered Structures of $13 and a charge for layoff costs of $10.

<sup>(2)</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>(3)</sup> Discrete tax items for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, year ended December 31, 2024, and year ended December 31, 2025 are discussed further in the Reconciliation of Operational Tax Rate. Discrete tax items for the remaining periods included the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· for
 4Q24, a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. state tax losses and credits
 ($6), an excess tax benefit for stock compensation ($1), a charge for prior year audit assessments
 and tax adjustments $4, and a charge to adjust a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign
 tax credits $2; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· for

Operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of Special items. There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods.

Adjusted operating income excluding Special items and Adjusted operating income margin excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges, are excluded from Adjusted operating income. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of the Company excluding the impacts of 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 Operating income determined under GAAP as well as Operating income excluding Special items.
