  • Strong free cash flow3 generation of $59 million in the quarter with ~150% cash conversion
  • Increasing full-year adjusted earnings per share outlook to $6.80 – $7.20, up 30% versus 2025 at the midpoint

Business Highlights

  • Each business segment delivered double-digit year over year sales growth
  • Exceeded 23% quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin for the first time in Company’s history
  • Exited the quarter with record backlog, up ~30% year over year and ~20% since the beginning of year
  • Awarded ~$15M in new business to supply advanced materials critical to engine performance for a large commercial space customer

“It is an exciting time at Materion, as our advanced material solutions are powering the critical technologies that are moving the world forward, and demand across our diverse end markets continues to accelerate. Thanks to the dedication and flawless execution across our teams, we achieved record sales and profitability in the second quarter, setting a strong foundation for the rest of the year,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President & CEO of Materion.

“We continue to see strong order rate momentum, driven by new business wins and rising demand from our existing customers. We closed out the quarter once again with record backlog, giving us the confidence to meaningfully raise our full-year outlook.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

Net sales for the quarter were $613.9 million, compared to $431.7 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $308.2 million for the quarter, up 15% from the prior year period driven by the highest quarterly aerospace & defense sales with significant growth seen across semiconductor, industrial, energy and telecom & data center end markets.

Operating profit for the quarter was $51.7 million and net income was $38.8 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $36.8 million and net income of $25.1 million, or $1.21 per share, in the prior year period.

Excluding special items4, adjusted EBITDA was at an all-time quarterly high of $71.8 million, a quarterly record of 23.3% of value-added sales, compared to $55.8 million or 20.8% of value-added sales in the prior year period. The record adjusted EBITDA and margin was driven by higher volume, strong price/mix and operational performance, as well as some favorable one-time items.

Adjusted net income was $40.1 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.90 per diluted share, compared to $1.37 per share in the prior year period.

OUTLOOK

Our first half results combined with increasing backlog and strong order rate momentum improves our confidence in delivering record full-year results. We now expect mid-teens top‑line growth and are raising our full‑year adjusted earnings per share guidance to $6.80 to $7.20, a 30% increase from prior year at the midpoint.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE

It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 8 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.

 

The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items, including the following:

  1. Restructuring and cost reduction – Costs include restructuring charges, costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand and costs associated with disposal of assets associated with obsolete products.
  2. Other – Costs primarily consist of miscellaneous expenses that are not indicative of current performance and are therefore included within our EBITDA adjustments, but are not significant enough to warrant separate presentation.
  3. Product quality issue - Represents costs incurred related to a previously identified quality issue in the fourth quarter of 2025 identified by a large precision clad strip customer which led to temporarily idling production facilities within the Performance Materials segment.
  4. Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs – Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures as well as loss on asset disposals.
  5. Business transformation costs – Represents project management and implementation expenses related to the Company's automation and transformation initiatives.

Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.

Free cash flow (FCF) represents operating cash flow adjusted for capital expenditures and mine development costs. Management believes FCF is an important performance measure of the business. FCF is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered a substitute for operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
