Filing Explained
The material structural item is capacity expansion still underway; its expected contribution begins in fiscal 2028.
Carpenter Technology’s July 30, 2026 Form 8-K reports its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call and furnishes the presentation as Exhibit 99.1; the exhibit is furnished rather than filed.
The fiscal 2026 results are presented as completed, but the brownfield capacity expansion remains under construction, with equipment installation ongoing and commissioning expected in early fiscal 2028. Its added capacity is therefore a prospective change, not a completed current-period addition.
The presentation states that its financial information is unaudited and that some measures, including adjusted operating income and adjusted free cash flow, are non-GAAP measures; reconciliations are included in the appendix.

5 terms
Adjusted Operating Margin ex. Surcharge Revenue financial
"30.4% Adjusted Operating Margin ex. Surcharge Revenue*"
Adjusted Free Cash Flow financial
"Generated $605.0 million in cash from operating activities; $362.3 million in adjusted free cash flow*"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
brownfield capacity expansion technical
"Brownfield capacity expansion project is on schedule and on budget; equipment installation ongoing"
Net Debt/EBITDA financial
"Net Debt/EBITDA (0.3x) remains at historic lows with no near-term debt maturities"
Net debt/EBITDA is a financial ratio that compares a company’s net debt — total borrowings minus cash — to its EBITDA, a measure of operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It signals how many years of current operating cash flow would be needed to pay off that debt, like estimating how many paychecks it would take to clear a mortgage; lower ratios mean less debt burden and lower financial risk for investors.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Surcharge Revenue and Special Items Management believes that removing the impact of raw material surcharge from operating margin provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. In addition, management believes that excluding the impact of special items from operating margin is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company's board of directors and others.
