Metallus (NYSE: MTUS) lifts Q2 2026 sales to $341M and boosts profit
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Metallus Inc. reported a strong second quarter of 2026, with net sales of $341.0 million, up 11% sequentially and 12% year over year. Net income was $8.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $5.4 million in the first quarter and $3.7 million a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, net income was $11.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million, up 18% sequentially and 9% year over year.
Shipments rose to 174.2 thousand tons, driven by higher volumes across most end-markets, improved pricing, and better product mix. Melt utilization increased to 74%, although manufacturing cost performance declined sequentially due to lower-than-planned fixed-cost absorption and higher maintenance. As of June 30, 2026, Metallus held $108.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and total liquidity of $394.8 million, with its $300.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility undrawn and refinanced to mature in June 2031. Second-quarter operating cash flow was $12.8 million and free cash flow was $7.1 million. The company invested $15.2 million in capital expenditures (including $9.5 million for U.S. government-funded projects) and repurchased 0.2 million shares for $3.6 million.
For the third quarter of 2026, Metallus expects shipments similar to the second quarter, slightly better pricing and mix, a modest increase in melt utilization, and adjusted EBITDA slightly higher than both the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025. Planned 2026 capital expenditures remain about $70 million, including $35 million partially funded by the U.S. government, with no additional pension contributions anticipated for the rest of 2026 and an expected full-year adjusted effective tax rate between 27% and 30%.

Metallus Announces Second-Quarter 2026 Results
CANTON, Ohio: August 3, 2026 – Metallus (NYSE: MTUS), a leader in high-quality specialty metals, manufactured components and supply chain solutions, today reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $341.0 million and net income of $8.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the second-quarter 2026 net income was $11.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million.
This compares with the sequential first-quarter 2026 net sales of $308.3 million and net income of $5.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the first-quarter 2026 net income was $7.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $24.6 million.
In the same quarter last year, the company had net sales of $304.6 million and net income of $3.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the second-quarter 2025 net income was $8.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $26.5 million.
“We delivered a strong second quarter, highlighted by increased shipments, improved pricing and product mix and higher profitability both sequentially and compared with the prior year. Demand remains healthy across our key end markets, supported by a robust order book that provides strong visibility for the second half of 2026. We successfully completed the commissioning of our new bloom reheat furnace and the roller furnace remains on schedule. These investments represent important milestones in our commitment to growing our presence in the aerospace & defense market while continuing to support our long-standing automotive, industrial, energy and distribution customers. The recent investments enhance our manufacturing capabilities, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen our ability to meet increasing customer demand," said Mike Williams, chief executive officer.
"As we enter the second half of 2026, we have a healthy order book, favorable product mix, continued pricing momentum and a daily focus on operational execution. As a result, we expect that profitability will continue to improve compared to the same periods last year and cash flow generation will be positive."
SECOND-QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
1
CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY
As of June 30, 2026, the company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $108.6 million. In the second quarter, operating cash flow totaled $12.8 million, driven by profitability and lower inventory, partially offset by lower accounts payable due to the timing of raw material purchases and required pension contributions. Capital expenditures totaled $15.2 million in the second quarter, including $9.5 million for projects primarily funded by the U.S. government. Total liquidity(1) was $394.8 million as of June 30, 2026.
On June 30, 2026, the company refinanced its asset-based revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and extended the maturity date to June 2031. Following the amendment, Credit Facility available capacity was $300.0 million with improvement in a variety of financial terms and covenants, including reduced annual fees. The Credit Facility remains undrawn at this time.
Additionally, during the second quarter, the company repurchased 0.2 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $3.6 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company had $81.8 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.
During the second quarter, the company received the final $11.3 million from the U.S. Army as part of the previously announced $99.75 million capacity expansion funding agreement in support of the U.S. Army's mission of ramping up munitions production. Through the end of June, the company had received $102.8 million of government funding, consisting of $99.75 million from the U.S. Army and $3.0 million from JobsOhio as part of the previously announced grant.
OUTLOOK

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Metallus reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and corresponding metrics as non-GAAP financial measures. This earnings release includes references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, base sales, and other adjusted items. These are important financial measures used in the management of the business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Management believes that reporting these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company’s performance and provide improved comparability of results. See the attached schedules for definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above and corresponding reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.5 million shares and 1.5 million shares, respectively) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive.
(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (0.6 million shares and 0.6 million shares, respectively) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (0.7 million shares and 0.8 million shares, respectively) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are financial measures not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented. Management believes this data provides investors with additional useful information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of the company’s financial performance.

(1) For the three months ended June 30, 2026, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.5 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 43.1 million shares.
(2) Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are defined as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, excluding, as applicable, adjustments listed in the foregoing table.
(3) Business transformation costs consist of professional service fees associated with the evaluation of certain strategic opportunities, with a focus on targeted growth to diversify the company’s end market and product portfolio through acquisitions.
(4) The company is undergoing a multi-year IT transformation initiative intended to streamline and modernize legacy IT systems while also reducing operating costs, increasing information security and positioning us to take advantage of market opportunities. IT transformation costs were primarily related to professional service fees not eligible for capitalization and are primarily related to project planning and third-party implementation services.
(5) Manufacturing optimization costs consist of third-party professional fees related to process optimization efforts and improving manufacturing efficiency within targeted facilities.

(6) The United Steelworkers (“USW”) ratified a new four‑year labor agreement with Metallus on February 5, 2026. A one‑time payment in the total amount of $1.9 million was made in the first quarter of 2026 to union employees, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, along with $0.4 million of one-time payments related to external parties assisting with achieving the new labor agreement.
(7) Write-off of debt issuance costs associated with refinancing activities.
(8) Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above. Refer to the adjusted effective tax rate reconciliation table.
(9) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, and the related tax effect has been revised to include amortization of cloud computing software costs.
(10) For the three months ended June 30, 2025 convertible notes (0.6 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (0.7 million shares) were included in the computation of as reported and as adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 43.3 million shares. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).
(11) For the three months ended March 31, 2026, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.5 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 43.2 million shares.

Reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss)(2) to GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share(2) to GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025:
Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and a reconciliation of these financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is presented. Management believes this data provides investors with additional useful information on the underlying operations and trends of the business and enables period-to-period comparability of the company’s financial performance.

(1) For the six months ended June 30, 2026, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.5 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 43.1 million shares.
(2) Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share are defined as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share, respectively, excluding, as applicable, adjustments listed in the foregoing table.
(3) Business transformation costs consist of professional service fees associated with the evaluation of certain strategic opportunities, with a focus on targeted growth to diversify the company’s end market and product portfolio through acquisitions.
(4) The company is undergoing a multi-year IT transformation initiative intended to streamline and modernize legacy IT systems while also reducing operating costs, increasing information security and positioning us to take advantage of market opportunities. IT transformation costs were primarily related to professional service fees not eligible for capitalization and are primarily related to project planning and third-party implementation services.

(5) Manufacturing optimization costs consist of third-party professional fees related to process optimization efforts and improving manufacturing efficiency within targeted facilities.
(6) Rebranding costs consist primarily of professional service fees associated with the company's name change to Metallus Inc., announced during the first quarter of 2024.
(7) Following the completion of the salaried pension plan annuitization in May 2024, there were surplus assets which were used to make a one-time 401(k) contribution to eligible employees. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $3.6 million when the remaining assets were distributed.
(8) The United Steelworkers (“USW”) ratified a new four‑year labor agreement with Metallus on February 5, 2026. A one‑time payment in the total amount of $1.9 million was made in the first quarter of 2026 to union employees, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, along with $0.4 million of one-time payments related to external parties assisting with achieving the new labor agreement.
(9) Write-off of debt issuance costs associated with refinancing activities.
(10) Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above. Refer to the adjusted effective tax rate reconciliation table.
(11) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, and the related tax effect has been revised to include amortization of cloud computing software costs.
(12) For the six months ended June 30, 2025, common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes (0.6 million shares) and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (0.8 million shares) were included in the computation of as reported and as adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 43.5 million shares. For the convertible notes, the company utilizes the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share. Based on the timing of the convertible note settlement during the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no adjustments to net income for the add back of convertible notes interest expense (including amortization of convertible notes issuance costs).

(4) Business transformation costs consist of professional service fees associated with the evaluation of certain strategic opportunities, with a focus on targeted growth to diversify the company’s end market and product portfolio through acquisitions.
(5) The company is undergoing a multi-year IT transformation initiative intended to streamline and modernize legacy IT systems while also reducing operating costs, increasing information security and positioning us to take advantage of market opportunities. IT transformation costs were primarily related to professional service fees not eligible for capitalization and are primarily related to project planning and third-party implementation services.

Reconciliation of Base Sales by end-market to GAAP Net Sales by end-market:
The tables below present net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes presenting net sales by end-market, both on a gross basis and on a per ton basis, adjusted to exclude raw material and energy surcharges, provides additional insight into key drivers of net sales such as base price and product mix. Due to the fact that the surcharge mechanism can introduce volatility to our net sales, net sales adjusted to exclude surcharges provides management and investors clarity of our core pricing and results. Presenting net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges including on a per ton basis, allows management and investors to better analyze key market indicators and trends and allows for enhanced comparison between our end-markets.
When surcharges are included in a customer agreement and are applicable (i.e., reach the threshold amount), based on the terms outlined in the respective agreement, surcharges are then included as separate line items on a customer’s invoice. These additional surcharge line items adjust base prices to match cost fluctuations due to market conditions. Each month, the company will post on the surcharges page of its external website, as well as our customer portal, the scrap, alloy, and energy surcharges that will be applied (as a separate line item) to invoices dated in the following month (based upon shipment volumes in the following month). All surcharges invoiced are included in GAAP net sales.
