TREDEGAR REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
•Delivered profitable first quarter 2026 results, with net income from continuing operations of $5.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.
•Net income from ongoing operations, which excludes special items, was $5.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $3.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.
•Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”) from ongoing operations was $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2025.
•First quarter 2026 performance driven primarily by Aluminum Extrusions:
◦Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from ongoing operations for Aluminum Extrusions was $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 versus $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 and versus $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
◦EBITDA from ongoing operations for High Performance Films was $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 versus $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 and versus $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Arijit (Bapi) DasGupta, Tredegar’s president and chief executive officer, said, “Bonnell had a good quarter in the face of challenging market conditions, tariff‑driven cost pressures, and softer net new orders after the mid‑year 2025 Section 232 tariff increase. Their ability to improve under these circumstances reinforces our confidence in the business and its long‑term trajectory. In High Performance Films, sales volume for surface protection films softened as expected due to a significant customer’s inventory correction and scheduled maintenance activity for another customer.”
He continued, “Both of our business units continue to lead with deep, long‑standing customer relationships and differentiated value propositions. As we continue to bring the organization together as One Tredegar, we continue to focus on operational excellence and productivity improvements and see substantial opportunities to leverage best practices across the enterprise, enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen profitability, positioning the company for long‑term value creation.”

First Quarter 2026 Results vs. First Quarter 2025 Results
Net sales (sales less freight) in the first quarter of 2026 increased 19.3% versus the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the pass-through of higher metal costs, partially offset by lower volume. Sales volume in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 7.3% versus the first quarter of 2025 and 5.4% versus the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company reported a 6% decline in nonresidential building and construction volume, driven by higher costs and ongoing economic uncertainty. Within the specialty market, electrical shipments decreased 45% following the expiration of federal tax credits for solar panels. Also in the specialty market, TSLOTSTM shipments, representing approximately 13% of total volume, increased 70%, supported by increased demand for data‑containment and data‑center infrastructure. Automotive and transportation volume declined 19% as manufacturers continued to face rising cost pressures.
Refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 (“First Quarter Form 10-Q”) for sales volume by end use market for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the three months ended December 31, 2025.
Net new orders in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 20% versus the first quarter of 2025 from an average of 3.4 million pounds per week in the first quarter of 2025 to 2.8 million pounds per week in the first quarter of 2026. The Company believes this year-over-year decline reflects both softer U.S. demand and the continued undervaluation of imported extrusions, attributed to the tariff structure associated with the increase of Section 232 tariffs on aluminum products to 50%, discussed below. Open orders at the end of the first quarter of 2026 were 19 million pounds versus 25 million pounds at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and 17 million pounds at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. This level of open orders falls below the normalized level that is typically associated with stable demand patterns and healthy market dynamics.
Effective June 4, 2025, Section 232 tariffs on aluminum products increased to 50%, following a prior increase from 10% to 25% in March 2025, with the United Kingdom as the only exception. In April 2026, federal policymakers updated several elements of Section 232, including measures intended to close the loophole that allowed undervalued aluminum extrusions to enter the U.S. market. While these changes are expected to help restore fair competition for domestic producers, U.S. extruders have emphasized the need for clear, uniform, and predictable enforcement to avoid near‑term market disruption. The Company continues to participate in a coalition of downstream aluminum manufacturers that engages with policymakers on issues affecting the competitiveness of the U.S. aluminum extrusion industry.
Tariffs and duties continue to be passed through to customers under the Company’s metal‑cost adjustment mechanism. The Company implemented additional price increases in the first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025 to offset tariff‑related costs not covered by that mechanism.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first quarter of 2026 increased $2.5 million versus the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to:
•A $2.0 million increase in contribution margin (net sales less variable costs) associated with:
◦Pricing increases ($4.6 million) and lower manufacturing costs associated with material yield ($2.0 million favorable in the first quarter of 2026 versus $0.1 million unfavorable in the first quarter of 2025), partially offset by lower volume ($2.1 million), higher labor rates ($0.7 million), unfavorable labor productivity ($0.6 million), higher maintenance and supply expense ($0.8 million), higher freight expense ($0.4 million), higher utilities ($0.5 million), and higher die expense ($0.8 million).
◦The timing of the flow-through under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of aluminum raw materials costs, which were previously acquired in a quickly changing commodity pricing environment, causing a temporary mismatch in the change in the cost of raw materials included in variable costs and the pass through to customers included in sales, resulted in a benefit of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 versus a benefit of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025.
•Higher fixed costs primarily associated with wage increases ($0.5 million).
•Lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses primarily associated with lower employee-related compensation and lower routine environmental compliance expense ($0.5 million).
•Lower other expense for employee-related medical costs associated with medical claims ($0.6 million).
Conflict-driven disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz beginning in March 2026 have constrained shipments and raised costs, contributing to historically low U.S. inventory levels. In response to recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and resulting contraction of the global aluminum market, we have proactively diversified our supply chain portfolio to support long-term stability. Through the third quarter of 2026, we have successfully transitioned nearly all of our aluminum supply previously sourced from the Middle East to North American partners. Simultaneously, we are optimizing billet casting operations at our Carthage, TN, and Newnan, GA facilities to overcome localized production constraints. These strategic shifts in our supply chain and internal capabilities continue to strengthen our operational resilience, positioning the Company to meet customer demand through 2026.

Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for Bonnell Aluminum are projected to be $20 million in 2026, including $4 million for productivity projects and $16 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $14 million in 2026. Amortization expense is projected to be $2 million in 2026. The Company anticipates capital spending to increase from the levels of the past two years and return to a pattern more closely aligned with depreciation and amortization, consistent with long-term historical patterns. This approach supports ongoing maintenance and efficiency initiatives while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.

First Quarter 2026 Results vs. First Quarter 2025 Results
Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 decreased 15.7% versus the first quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in sales volume and unfavorable mix in surface protection films. Surface Protection sales volume decreased 17.5% in the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025. Sales volume for surface protection films declined in the first quarter of 2026 as expected due to a significant customer’s inventory correction and scheduled maintenance activity for another customer. Volume for advanced packaging films, which are predominantly manufactured and sold in the U.S. and used in consumer staple items, increased 5.6% in the first quarter of 2026 versus the first quarter of 2025. The top four customers comprised 87% and 91% of the net sales for High Performance Films for the first three months of 2026 and first three months of 2025, respectively.
Surface Protection has not experienced an adverse impact on customer demand related to tariff actions; however, the situation remains fluid and the impact on consumer electronics is uncertain.
EBITDA from ongoing operations in the first quarter of 2026 decreased $2.4 million versus the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to:
•A decrease in contribution margin of $2.4 million resulting from:
◦A $2.8 million decrease from Surface Protection associated with lower volume and unfavorable mix ($3.4 million), partially offset by cost improvements and favorable productivity ($0.6 million).
◦A $0.4 million increase from advanced packaging films primarily due to higher volume, favorable mix and unfavorable pricing ($0.5 million), partially offset by unfavorable productivity ($0.1 million).
•Lower SG&A expense associated with lower employee-related compensation ($0.3 million).
•A foreign currency transaction loss of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 versus no gain or loss in the first quarter of 2025.
Although the conflict-driven disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz beginning in March 2026 have caused an increase to resin costs, High Performance Films maintains pass-through mechanisms with customers and has not experienced supply issues to date.
Refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the First Quarter Form 10-Q for additional information on resin price trends.
Projected Capital Expenditures and Depreciation & Amortization
Capital expenditures for High Performance Films are projected to be $2 million in 2026, including $1 million for productivity projects and $1 million for capital expenditures required to support continuity of current operations. Depreciation expense is projected to be $4 million in 2026. There is no amortization expense for High Performance Films.
Corporate Expenses, Interest, Taxes and Other
Corporate expenses, net in the first three months of 2026 decreased $2.9 million compared to the first three months of 2025 due to lower professional fees associated with business development activities ($2.9 million). The Company does not expect significant expenses from business development activities in 2026.
Interest expense was $0.4 million in the first three months of 2026 in comparison to $1.0 million in the first three months of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower weighted average total debt outstanding and lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate used to compute income taxes (benefit) from continuing operations in the first three months of 2026 was 16.9% compared to 46.2% in the first three months of 2025. The effective tax rate for the first three months of 2026 varies from the statutory rate of 21% due to research and development tax credits while the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2025 varies from the statutory rate due to a mix of lower pre-tax income and higher nondeductible discrete items as a percentage of pre-tax income. See Note (d) to Financial Tables in this Press Release for information related to the effective tax rate from ongoing operations.
Debt, Financial Leverage and Debt Covenants
Total debt was $46.3 million at March 31, 2026 and $35.1 million at December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents were $15.6 million at March 31, 2026 and $6.7 million at December 31, 2025. Net debt (total debt in excess of cash and cash equivalents), a non-GAAP financial measure, was $30.7 million at March 31, 2026 and $28.4 million at December 31, 2025. See Note (e) to the Financial Tables in this Press Release for a reconciliation of net debt to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Total debt increased $11.2 million and net debt increased $2.3 million in the first three months of 2026 versus the end of 2025 due to higher net working capital of $9.5 million from seasonally low levels at the end of last year, higher metal costs, and raw material stocking as a result of the geopolitical uncertainty impacting aluminum‑related supply chains.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its $125 million asset-based credit agreement, which matures May 6, 2030 (the "ABL Facility"). Availability for borrowings under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including a portion of trade accounts receivable, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, and owned machinery and equipment. As of March 31, 2026, funds available to borrow under the ABL Facility were approximately $76 million. The median daily liquidity under the ABL Facility during the first quarter of 2026 was $87 million compared with a median of $82 million during the fourth quarter of 2025. Refer to Note 7 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part IV, Item 15 of Tredegar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for additional details on the primary debt covenants.

Notes to the Financial Tables
(Unaudited)
(a) Tredegar’s presentation of net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share from ongoing operations are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of gains or losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments and restructurings, gains or losses from the sale of assets, goodwill impairment charges, discontinued operations, net periodic benefit cost for the frozen defined benefit pension plan prior to termination and other items (which includes gains and losses for an investment accounted for under the fair value method) which have been presented separately and removed from net income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted earnings (loss) per share as reported under GAAP. Net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share from ongoing operations are key financial and analytical measures used by management to gauge the operating performance of Tredegar’s ongoing operations. They are not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar’s ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) from continuing operations or earnings (loss) per share as defined by GAAP. They exclude items that management believes do not relate to Tredegar’s ongoing operations. A reconciliation to net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share from ongoing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is shown below:

| 1. Reconciliations of the pre-tax and post-tax balances attributed to net income (loss) are shown in Note (d). |
(b) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from ongoing operations is the key segment profitability metric used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess segment financial performance. The Company uses sales less freight (“net sales”) as its measure of revenues from external customers at the segment level. For more business segment information, see Note 9 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the First Quarter Form 10-Q.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure included in the accompanying tables and the reconciliation of segment financial information to consolidated results for the Company in the net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment statements. It is not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar’s ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP. The Company believes that EBIT is a widely understood and utilized metric that is meaningful to certain investors and that including this financial metric in the reconciliation of management’s performance metric, EBITDA from ongoing operations, provides useful information to those investors that primarily utilize EBIT to analyze the Company’s core operations.
(c) Gains and losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments, restructurings and other items for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 detailed below are shown in the statements of net sales and EBITDA from ongoing operations by segment and are included in “Asset impairments and costs associated with exit and disposal activities, net of adjustments” in the condensed consolidated statements of income, unless otherwise noted.

Net debt is not intended to represent total debt as defined by GAAP. Net debt is utilized by management in evaluating the Company’s financial leverage and equity valuation, and management believes that investors also may find net debt to be helpful for the same purposes.
Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. It is not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) and total debt as defined by GAAP. Net leverage ratio is utilized by management in evaluating the Company’s financial leverage, and management believes that investors also may find the net leverage ratio to be helpful for the same purposes. In addition, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the ABL Facility ("Credit EBITDA") is provided below.

(f) Tredegar’s presentation of Consolidated EBITDA from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the effects of gains or losses associated with plant shutdowns, asset impairments and restructurings, gains or losses from the sale of assets, goodwill impairment charges, discontinued operations, net periodic benefit cost for the frozen defined benefit pension plan and other items (which includes gains and losses for an investment accounted for under the fair value method). Consolidated EBITDA from ongoing operations also excludes depreciation & amortization, stock option-based compensation costs, interest and income taxes. Consolidated EBITDA is a key financial and analytical measure used by management to gauge the operating performance of Tredegar’s ongoing operations. It is not intended to represent the stand-alone results for Tredegar’s ongoing operations under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings (loss) per share as defined by GAAP. It excludes items that management believes do not relate to Tredegar’s ongoing operations.
