Constellium reports Q3 EPS 62c, consensus 31c

Reports Q3 revenue $2.2B, consensus $1.79B. Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s (CSTM) Chief Executive Officer said, “I am very pleased with the strong execution and results our team delivered in the quarter despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Looking across our end markets, packaging demand remained healthy in the quarter, and we continued to benefit from improved operational performance at Muscle Shoals. Aerospace demand remained stable though commercial aerospace OEMs continued to deal with supply chain challenges. Automotive demand remained weak in Europe and relatively stable in North America. Industrial market conditions in North America and Europe became more stable, and our shipments in Europe improved in the quarter given the post-flood recovery in Valais. We delivered record third quarter Adjusted EBITDA and strong Free Cash Flow of $30 million in the quarter. We also reduced our leverage to 3.1x, and we repurchased 1.7 million shares for $25 million during the quarter.” Germain concluded, “We expect recent demand trends in our end markets to continue through the remainder of 2025 and the overall macroeconomic environment to remain relatively stable, and we expect to benefit from recent market dynamics, including improved scrap spreads in North America. While the tariff and international trade situation remains fluid, given our strong performance year-to-date and based on our current outlook, we are raising our guidance for 2025 and now expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $670 million to $690 million, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, and Free Cash Flow to remain in excess of $120 million. We also remain confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term target of Adjusted EBITDA of $900 million, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, and Free Cash Flow of $300 million, in 2028. Our focus remains on executing our strategy, driving operational performance, generating Free Cash Flow and increasing shareholder value.”
