Key
Activity

acquisition of CAM on April 6, 2026 for approximately $1.8 billion |
| · | Paid
down the Company's $186 million Japanese Yen-denominated term loan facility and entered into
a separate $300 million cross-currency swap, reducing annualized interest expense by $12
million |
| · | Increased

per share |
PITTSBURGH,
PA, August 6, 2026 – Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) announced results today for the second quarter 2026.
Howmet
Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “The Howmet team delivered a strong set of results, with
revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted earnings per share all exceeding the high end of guidance. Revenue growth
was healthy at 24% year over year and 21% excluding the net impact of the three asset transactions completed this year. Adjusted EBITDA
margin expanded 340 basis points year over year to 32.1%, including the absorption of the CAM fastener acquisition in April. Free cash
flow performance was excellent at $479 million after $104 million in capital expenditures, supporting the future growth rate of the Company.
The free cash flow also enabled $800 million in common stock repurchases year to date through July, an amount already greater than total
repurchases in 2025.”
Mr.
Plant continued, “Looking ahead, Howmet is well positioned, with all our major markets in growth mode. More robust build rates
for commercial aircraft are supported by record backlogs, while engine spares needs continue to increase. Defense markets remain healthy,
and the focus for missiles, drones and collaborative combat aircraft continues with growth expected over the medium term. Demand in the
gas turbines market is extraordinary with customers already revisiting and adding to their demand
outlooks. The commercial transportation market has begun to recover, as anticipated.”
"Our
capital expenditure requirements continue to increase, and we already see the need to increase this further in 2027 to support future
organic growth expectations in both the aerospace and gas turbines markets. We closed the CAM acquisition in April, and the integration
is on track. Continued healthy cash generation will allow us to achieve pre-CAM leverage levels in short order, with the Company well
positioned to consider all paths of capital deployment optionality going forward."

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.
Consolidated
Results
Howmet
Aerospace reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $2.55 billion, up 24% year over year with organic
growth of 21%, and Adjusted EPS of $1.33, up 46% year over year. Revenue was driven by 28% growth in the commercial aerospace
market, 11% growth in the defense aerospace market and 38% growth in the gas turbines market.
The
Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $817 million, up 39% 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 was up approximately
340 basis points year over year at 32.1%.

Forged
Wheels reported revenue of $316 million, an increase of 14% year over year, with 8% lower volumes in the commercial transportation
market more than offset by an increase in aluminum and other inflationary cost pass through. Volumes increased 7% sequentially from the
first quarter 2026, reflecting the beginning of the recovery of the North American commercial transportation market. Segment Adjusted
EBITDA was $88 million and increased 16% year over year, driven by cost reductions, including lower net headcount, in response to lower
volumes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin increased approximately 30 basis points year over year to 27.8% despite the impact of higher
aluminum cost pass through.
Completed
Acquisition of CAM for Approximately $1.8 Billion
On
April 6, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC (CAM) for approximately $1.8 billion
from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. CAM is a leading global designer and manufacturer of precision fasteners, fluid fittings, and other
complex, highly engineered products for demanding aerospace and defense applications.
Debt
Actions in Second Quarter Reduce Annualized Interest Expense by Approximately $12 Million
On
May 22, 2026, the Company repaid the outstanding principal amount of its Japanese Yen-denominated, senior unsecured term loan facility
for approximately $186 million with cash on hand. The Company also entered into a cross-currency swap to synthetically convert the outstanding
$300 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.75% Bonds due 2028 into a Japanese Yen liability for a fixed interest rate of approximately
3.88%. The combined effect of these debt actions will reduce annualized interest expense by $12 million.
Repurchased
$300 Million of Common Stock in Second Quarter 2026; $200 Million in July 2026
In
the second quarter 2026, Howmet Aerospace repurchased $300 million of common stock at an average price of $250.61 per share, retiring

all of 2025. As of August 6, 2026, total share repurchase authorization available was $697
million.

$0.14 per share on its common stock to be paid on August 25, 2026 to holders of record
as of the close of business on August 7, 2026. The quarterly dividend represents a

stock dividends declared of less than $1 for the quarters presented need to be subtracted
from Net income. |
| (2) | For
the quarters presented, the difference between the diluted average number of shares and the
basic average number of shares relates to share equivalents associated with outstanding restricted
stock unit awards and employee stock options. |
| (3) | As
average shares outstanding are used in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings
per share, the full impact of share repurchases is not fully realized in earnings per share
("EPS") in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying
points during a period. |

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 is defined as Operating Income excluding Restructuring and other (credits) charges and Special items and Provision for depreciation
and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other (credits) charges, are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

The
Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.
Free
cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. 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.

Adjusted
Net income and Adjusted EPS 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 credits, 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 Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS.
| (1) | Restructuring
and other credits for the quarter ended 1Q26 and the six months ended June 30, 2026 included
a gain on the sale of the Company's disk forging facility in Savannah, GA within Engineered
Structures. |
| (2) | Includes
legal and advisory costs, amortization expense of inventory step-up recorded in accordance
with purchase accounting, and other acquisition-related costs for CAM and Brunner. Additionally,
interest expense of $1 related to the CAM acquisition financing in 1Q26. |
| (3) | 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. |
| (4) | Discrete
tax items for each period included the following: |
| · | for
2Q25, benefits related to U.S. accounting method changes for certain prior period transaction
and other costs ($17), an excess benefit for stock compensation ($13), and a net benefit
related to U.S. federal and state research and development ("R&D") credits

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. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both the
Effective tax rate determined under GAAP as well as the Operational tax rate.
| (1) | Pre-tax
special items for 2Q26 included Acquisition and acquisition-related costs $22. Pre-tax special
items for the six months ended 2Q26 included Restructuring and other credits ($93) and Acquisition
and acquisition-related costs $29. |
| (2) | Tax
Special items includes discrete tax items, the tax impact on Special items based on the applicable
statutory rates, the difference between such rates and the Company’s consolidated estimated
annual effective tax rate and other tax related items. Discrete tax items for each period
included the following: |
| · | for
the quarter ended 2Q26, a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign
tax credits ($22), a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. state tax losses
($10), a benefit to release a tax reserve in Germany ($3), an excess benefit for stock compensation

Adjusted
operating income and Adjusted operating income margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Special items, including Restructuring and other
credits, 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 and Operating income margin determined under GAAP as well as Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income
margin.
Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that these measures are meaningful to investors
because they provide additional information with respect to the Company's operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet
its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company's
definition of Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Operating Income excluding Restructuring and other credits and Special items and Provision
for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other credits, are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Organic
revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is meaningful to investors as it presents revenue on a comparable
basis for all periods presented excluding the impact of the acquisitions of CAM (acquired April 2026) and Brunner (acquired February
2026) and the sale of the disk forging facility in Savannah, GA (divested March 2026). Management believes that it is appropriate to
consider both Sales determined under GAAP as well as Organic Revenue.
