Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Metallus Inc. reported fourth-quarter 2025 net sales of $267.3 million and a net loss of $14.3 million, or -$0.34 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss was $7.7 million with adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million, down sharply from the third quarter but better than the prior-year loss.

For full-year 2025, net sales rose 7% to $1.16 billion. The company posted a small net loss of $1.2 million, while adjusted net income was $15.3 million, or $0.37 per share, and adjusted EBITDA was $75.6 million, slightly below 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents were $156.7 million with total liquidity of $389.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Metallus invested $109.0 million in capital expenditures, including $81.3 million funded by the U.S. government, and repurchased 0.9 million shares for $13.1 million.

The order book is up more than 50% year-over-year, led by strong aerospace and defense demand. Management expects shipments and adjusted EBITDA to improve sequentially in 2026, supported by higher melt utilization, a new four-year USW labor agreement, modest pricing gains, and lower pension contributions.

Insights

Solid top-line growth and liquidity, but margins and Q4 earnings remain weak.

Metallus grew 2025 net sales 7% to $1.16 billion, with ship tons up 14% and aerospace & defense revenue up 19% to $160.6 million. However, full-year adjusted EBITDA of $75.6 million and adjusted EPS of $0.37 both slipped versus 2024 as price/mix and costs pressured margins.

Fourth-quarter results were particularly soft: net sales fell sequentially to $267.3 million, adjusted EBITDA dropped to $2.4 million, and shipments declined 9%. Management attributes this to normal seasonality, slower post-maintenance ramp-up, weaker mix, and lower surcharge revenue, alongside higher manufacturing costs from lower utilization.

Balance sheet strength is a counterweight. Year-end cash of $156.7 million and total liquidity of $389.2 million, plus government-funded capex and a nearly 60% expected reduction in 2026 pension contributions to about $27 million, provide flexibility. Management guides to higher shipments, improving melt utilization, modest pricing tailwinds, and sequential adjusted EBITDA growth across 2026, with execution on operational initiatives and demand trends as key determinants.

CANTON, Ohio: February 19, 2026 – Metallus (NYSE: MTUS), a leader in high-quality specialty metals, manufactured components and supply chain solutions, today reported fourth-quarter 2025 net sales of $267.3 million and net loss of $14.3 million, or a loss of $0.34 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the fourth-quarter 2025 net loss was $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.18 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million.

This compares with the sequential third-quarter 2025 net sales of $305.9 million and net income of $8.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the third-quarter 2025 net income was $11.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million.

 

In the same quarter last year, net sales were $240.5 million with a net loss of $21.4 million, or a loss of $0.50 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the fourth-quarter 2024 net loss was $3.9 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $8.3 million.

“In 2025, we delivered higher shipments to our customers supported by strengthening demand across our key end markets as the need for domestic steel grew,” stated Mike Williams, chief executive officer. “Our aerospace and defense product line delivered strong growth as we expanded customer relationships, increased our presence, and achieved new orders in these strategically important markets. We also advanced our government funded assets to support the growth in 2026 and beyond.”

“While we were not satisfied with our fourth-quarter performance, we took the opportunity to implement longer‑term operational improvements and are increasing hourly staffing levels in targeted areas to meet growing demand. As a result, our operations performed better to date in the first quarter. This is an encouraging start to 2026, supported by an order book that is now up more than 50% year-over-year.

“Looking ahead, we expect first-quarter adjusted EBITDA to increase sequentially, providing the foundation for anticipated stronger performance in each quarter of 2026 compared with the same periods in 2025.”

FOURTH-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Net sales of $267.3 million decreased 13 percent compared with $305.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decline primarily reflects lower shipments, primarily related to normal seasonality and a slower than expected ramp-up following annual shutdown maintenance, lower product mix, and lower raw material surcharge revenue per ton resulting from compressed scrap prices. Compared with the prior-year fourth quarter, net sales increased 11 percent, driven primarily by higher shipments across the majority of end markets and increased raw material surcharge revenue per ton, partially offset by a decrease in average base sales(2) prices and lower product mix.
Ship tons of 148,000 decreased 15,100 tons sequentially, or 9 percent, primarily driven by lower shipments across all end markets. Compared with the prior-year fourth quarter, shipments increased 14 percent driven by higher shipments across all end-markets except energy.
Manufacturing costs increased as expected primarily due to the planned annual shutdown maintenance and reduced fixed cost leverage associated with lower production volume compared with the third quarter of 2025. Melt utilization declined to 66 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 72 percent in the third quarter, and compared to 56 percent in the same quarter last year.

 

FULL-YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Net income for the full-year 2025 was a loss of $1.2 million, or a loss of $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the full-year 2024. On an adjusted basis(2), full-year 2025 net income was $15.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $75.6 million. In comparison, full-year 2024 net income on an adjusted basis(2) was $24.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA(2) was $77.7 million.

Net sales of $1.2 billion increased 7 percent compared with the full-year 2024, driven by higher shipments and raw material surcharge revenue partially offset by a decrease in average base sales(2) prices and lower product mix. Within the aerospace & defense end market, net sales increased by 19 percent to $160.6 million compared with the full-year 2024. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, aerospace & defense increased to 14 percent of the total in 2025 compared with 12 percent of the total in 2024 and 8 percent of the total in 2023.
Ship tons were 631,700, an increase of 14 percent from 2024 on higher shipments in all end markets.
Manufacturing costs improved slightly compared with 2024, primarily due to increased cost absorption driven by higher production, partially offset by general inflation and higher utility costs. Melt utilization rose to 69 percent in 2025, up from 60 percent in 2024.

 

CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY

 

As of December 31, 2025, the company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $156.7 million. For the full year 2025, the company generated operating cash flow of $16.0 million. Capital expenditures totaled $109.0 million in 2025 including $81.3 million for projects funded by the U.S. government. Total liquidity(1) was $389.2 million as of December 31, 2025.

img203915712_1.jpg

The company repurchased 0.1 million common shares during the fourth quarter at an aggregate cost of $1.2 million, and for the full year 2025 repurchased a total of 0.9 million common shares at a cost of $13.1 million. For the full year 2025, common share repurchases and convertible note settlements represented 3.8 percent of outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2025, the company had $89.7 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program.

 

During the fourth quarter, the company received $4.1 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. The company has received $85.6 million of total government funding during 2024 and 2025.

 

OUTLOOK

Given the elements outlined in the outlook below and consistent with our normal seasonality, the company expects first-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be higher than the fourth quarter.

Commercial:

First-quarter shipments are expected to increase approximately 10% compared with the fourth quarter supported by continued strength in the order book.
Lead times for bar products currently extend to mid-second quarter and tube product lead times currently extend to mid-third quarter.
Annual price agreement negotiations covering approximately 70 percent of the order book are substantially complete. Average base price per ton for customers covered by annual agreements is expected to increase slightly throughout 2026 compared with average base price per ton for the full year 2025, mix dependent.
Based on lead times and mix, pricing benefit and mix margin lift is expected to ramp each quarter of 2026.
The company recently implemented spot price increases on both bar and seamless mechanical tubing products not covered by an annual pricing agreement, effective throughout the second quarter and early third quarter, product dependent.

 

Operations:

The company anticipates a sequential increase in its first quarter average melt utilization rate, supported by greater stability and reliability across key assets as well as continued strengthening of the order book.
Manufacturing costs are expected to sequentially improve by approximately $10 million in the first quarter following the completion of planned annual shutdown maintenance in the fourth quarter and expected higher first-quarter melt utilization, resulting in improved cost absorption.
The United Steelworkers ("USW") ratified a new four-year labor agreement with Metallus on February 5, 2026. As part of the recently approved union contract, a one‑time payment of approximately $2.0 million will be paid in the first quarter of 2026.

img203915712_1.jpg

 

Other matters:

Planned capital expenditures are approximately $70 million in 2026, inclusive of approximately $35 million of capital expenditures partially funded by the U.S. government. Additional payments of approximately $17 million are expected to be received in first half of 2026, contingent on the achievement of mutually agreed milestones.
During the first quarter, the company expects to make required pension contributions of approximately $15 to $18 million, a significant reduction compared to the first quarter of 2025. Full-year 2026 required pension contributions are expected to total approximately $27 million, a nearly 60% reduction from 2025.
An effective income tax rate between 27 and 30 percent is expected in 2026.

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.

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) Common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards and common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2025, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The total diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was 41.7 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) During the third quarter of 2025, the company offered an exit incentive program to certain employees at the company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities to support succession planning and continue execution of the company's sustainable profitable growth strategy.

 

(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.

 

(6) Manufacturing optimization costs consist of third-party professional fees related to process optimization efforts and improving manufacturing efficiency within targeted facilities.

 

(7) 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.

 

(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) Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2024, because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

(11) For the three months ended September 30, 2025, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.2 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 September 30, 2025 was 43.0 million shares.

(9) Tax effect on above adjustments includes the tax impact related to the adjustments shown above. Refer to the adjusted effective tax rate reconciliation table.

 

(10) 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.

 

(11) For the year ended December 31, 2024, common share equivalents for shares issuable for equity-based awards (1.1 million shares) were included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as they were considered dilutive. Common share equivalents for shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 as these shares would be anti-dilutive.

Reconciliation of adjusted effective tax rate to GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2025:

 

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information between the company's GAAP effective tax rate and the adjusted effective tax rate. 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.

Reconciliation of Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)(3) and Adjusted EBITDA(10) to GAAP Net Income (Loss):

This reconciliation is provided as additional relevant information about the company's performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as these measures are representative of the company's performance. Management also believes that it is appropriate to compare GAAP net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

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.
