Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Luxfer Holdings PLC reported mixed fourth-quarter 2025 results, with GAAP net sales down 12.3% to $90.7 million and GAAP net income falling to $0.1 million. Adjusted diluted EPS slipped slightly to $0.28, and adjusted EBITDA declined 5.8% to $13.0 million, as lower volumes and softness in certain Gas Cylinders and Elektron end markets weighed on results.

For full year 2025, GAAP net sales dipped 1.9% to $384.6 million, but adjusted net sales excluding the divested Graphic Arts business rose 2.5%. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $13.1 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased 12.1% to $1.11 and adjusted EBITDA rose 4.2% to $51.9 million. Free cash flow of $26.2 million helped reduce net debt to $31.1 million, a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.6x. For 2026, Luxfer guides to adjusted net sales of $350–$370 million, adjusted diluted EPS of $1.05–$1.20, adjusted EBITDA of $50–$55 million, and free cash flow of $20–$25 million, reflecting expected mid-single-digit sales decline driven by timing factors rather than underlying demand.

Insights

Adjusted earnings and cash flow improved despite weaker GAAP growth.

Luxfer delivered modest operational progress in 2025. Adjusted diluted EPS rose to $1.11, up 12.1%, and adjusted EBITDA increased 4.2% to $51.9 million, even as GAAP net income from continuing operations fell to $13.1 million versus $18.3 million a year earlier.

Free cash flow of $26.2 million and reduced net debt of $31.1 million (net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA 0.6x) signal a stronger balance sheet. The divestiture of the Graphic Arts business and mix shift toward aerospace and defense improved margins, partly offsetting softness in SCBA, clean energy, and high-end automotive demand.

For 2026, management expects adjusted net sales of $350–$370 million and adjusted EBITDA of $50–$55 million, implying relatively stable profitability on lower sales driven by timing-related factors. Execution on operational initiatives and end-market recovery will be important to sustaining margin resilience and cash generation in future periods.

Luxfer Delivers Strong Full-Year 2025 Profitability and Cash Generation Portfolio focus and favorable mix drive sustained profitability, enhanced adjusted earnings growth and strong cash flow generation Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights* • Net Sales declined 12.3% to $90.7 million from $103.4 million, while Adjusted Net Sales1 declined 5.5% • Net Income of $0.1 million, compared to $3.3 million, and $0.12 per diluted share, with Adjusted Diluted EPS1 of $0.28 down 3.4% from $0.29 • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $13.0 million, declined 5.8% • Continued execution of previously announced operational excellence initiatives, including the Riverside and Powders Saxonburg centers of excellence, expected to drive improved efficiency and generate approximately $6 million of long-term annual savings Full Year 2025 Highlights* • Net Sales declined 1.9% to $384.6 million from $391.9 million, while Adjusted Net Sales1 increased 2.5% • Net Income of $13.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $18.3 million and $0.68 per diluted share, with Adjusted Diluted EPS1 of $1.11, up 12.1% from $0.99 • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $51.9 million, up 4.2% • Delivered strong free cash flow of $26.2 million, reducing net debt to $31.1 million • Enhanced portfolio quality and strategic focus following completion of the Graphic Arts sale * Comparative information is relative to prior-year fourth quarter and full year; results exclude discontinued operations. 1 Note: Adjusted results exclude Graphic Arts & 2024 legal recoveries. 2025 was a strong year that exceeded our expectations entering the year, particularly against a backdrop of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. Despite near-term timing and cycle effects across several end markets, we delivered revenue growth, improved adjusted earnings per share by more than 12% compared to last year, and generated strong free cash flow. Continued demand in Aerospace & Defense, together with our ability to pivot toward higher- value opportunities, drove performance. During 2025, we strengthened our portfolio and operating model by completing the Graphic Arts divestiture and advancing initiatives to enhance focus and efficiency across the organization. These actions improved our margin profile and reinforced the durability and quality of our earnings. As we enter 2026, Luxfer is positioned to invest in long-term growth initiatives, execute with discipline, expand margins, and further enhance financial flexibility, while increasing resilience to the ongoing changes in the external environment. Andy Butcher CEO, Luxfer

Excluding Graphic Arts, adjusted net sales decreased 5.5% from the prior year. The Elektron segment reported lower sales in the quarter, driven by reduced demand for military flares and high-performance automotive applications. Gas Cylinders sales also declined year over year, primarily due to softer demand in SCBA markets, although benefiting from approximately $2 million of orders pulled forward into the quarter from early 2026 in connection with the Riverside-Pomona optimization project. Continued activity in select aerospace and defense applications and specialty industrial gas cylinders partially offset these declines. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million, compared to $3.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income, excluding Graphic Arts and 2024 legal recoveries, was $7.7million, or $0.28 per diluted share, down from $8.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $13.8 million in the prior year, with lower volumes partially offset by pricing and favorable mix, resulting in a resilient margin of 14.3%. Full Year Financial Summary GAAP net sales for full year 2025 were $384.6 million compared to $391.9 million in the prior year, reflecting the absence of sales from the Graphic Arts business following its divestiture in early July 2025. Excluding Graphic Arts, adjusted net sales increased 2.5% year over year, driven primarily by stronger performance within the Elektron segment, including increased demand for UGR-Es, MRE flameless ration heaters, and aerospace and defense applications, which more than offset lower demand in SCBA and clean energy markets within Gas Cylinders. Gas Cylinders’ performance also reflected stronger demand in aerospace and specialty industrial markets. GAAP net income for full year 2025 was $13.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $18.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, excluding Graphic Arts and 2024 legal recoveries, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $1.11 from $0.99, reflecting improved operating performance, favorable mix, and disciplined execution. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $51.9 million, compared to $49.8 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by higher-value defense and aerospace mix within Elektron and disciplined operational execution, which more than offset lower volumes, less favorable mix in Gas Cylinders, and the impact of foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year ended at 14.0%, reflecting the resilience of the Company’s earnings profile despite volume variability.

As of December 31, 2025, net debt totaled $31.1 million, resulting in a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.6x. Net cash from continuing operations was $15.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with $25.6 million in the prior- year period. Free cash flow was $12.6 million, compared with $30.0 million a year ago. During the fourth quarter of 2025, approximately $1.2 million of common stock, equating to 91,875 shares, was repurchased. For the full year, a total of approximately $3.1 million of common stock, or 246,875 shares, was repurchased and dividends of $13.9 million were distributed to shareholders. Strategic Review Update As previously communicated, the Board of Directors completed a comprehensive strategic review in 2024. Since then, the Board of Directors has continuously evaluated strategic alternatives focused on enhancing long-term shareholder value. In connection with this evaluation, the Company has recently engaged external functional advisors to further support its ongoing assessment. Certain non-recurring costs associated with these activities have been incurred in 2025 and are expected to continue into 2026 as adjusted one-time expenses.


 
2026 Guidance Sales are expected to reduce by mid-single digits in 2026, reflecting temporary timing effects rather than underlying demand deterioration. The outlook incorporates off-cycle conditions in high-end automotive applications, the absence of an MRE add-on in 2026 consistent with normal defense spend cadence, and the Riverside optimization-related pull-forwards from the first quarter of 2026 that benefited 2025 results. Further details and assumptions regarding the 2026 guidance will be discussed on the 2025 fourth quarter and full-year earnings teleconference at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday February 25, 2026. 2026 Upcoming Events 38th Annual Roth Conference, Dana Point, CA – March 24, 2026 Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Earnings Conference Call Information Luxfer will conduct an investor teleconference at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday February 25, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Luxfer Holdings PLC prepares its financial statements using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). When a company discloses material information containing non-GAAP financial measures, SEC regulations require that the disclosure include a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Management’s inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures in this release is intended to supplement, not replace, the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. Luxfer management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any period. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company’s business trends and understand the Company’s performance. In addition, management may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in the Company’s forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. With respect to the Company’s 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control, and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measure to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort, and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-Looking Statements This release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: (i) statements regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition; (ii) statements of plans, objectives or goals of the Company or its management, including those related to financing, products, or services; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” and “plans,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward- looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that the predictions, forecasts, projections, and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. The Company cautions that several important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) demand conditions in our end markets, including customer inventory cycles and regulatory developments; (ii) customer concentration and changes in purchasing behavior; (iii) competitive pressures and pricing dynamics; (iv) global economic, geopolitical, trade and tax developments, including tariffs, export controls and other trade measures; (v) supply chain disruption, raw material and energy cost volatility, and availability of critical inputs; (vi) foreign currency fluctuations and hedging effectiveness; (vii) environmental, health and safety, climate-related and other regulatory requirements; (viii) product liability, warranty, recall and litigation risks; (ix) cybersecurity threats, data protection obligations and evolving disclosure requirements; (x) our ability to protect intellectual property and successfully innovate; (xi) pension obligations and related regulatory requirements; (xii) operational disruptions, labor relations and workforce availability; (xiii) our ability to successfully execute acquisitions and strategic initiatives; and (xiv) our level of indebtedness, financing arrangements and covenant compliance.. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors are not exhaustive. These factors are more fully discussed in the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2026. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any such statement, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise.
