Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today reported first quarter 2025 results. The Company reported record first quarter 2025 revenue of $1.94 billion, up 6% year over year, primarily driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 9%.

Howmet Aerospace reported Net Income of $344 million, or $0.84 per share, in the first quarter 2025 versus $243 million, or $0.59 per share, in the first quarter 2024, and included approximately $7 million in net charges from special items. Net Income excluding special items was $351 million, or $0.86 per share, in the first quarter 2025, versus $238 million, or $0.57 per share, in the first quarter 2024.

First quarter 2025 Operating Income was $494 million, up 34% year over year. Operating Income excluding special items was $491 million, up 33% year over year. Operating Income Margin was 25.4%, up approximately 520 basis points year over year. First quarter 2025 Adjusted Operating Income Margin excluding special items was 25.3%, up approximately 500 basis points year over year.

First quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $560 million, up 28% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth and performance in the commercial and defense aerospace markets, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 480 basis points year over year at 28.8%.

Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, "The Howmet team delivered a solid start to 2025, setting quarterly records in revenue, Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted EBITDA margin*, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share* while exceeding all aspects of our baseline guidance. Margin progression within the Fastening Systems and Engineered Structures segments was particularly noteworthy. Free cash flow was healthy at $134 million, up from $95 million in the prior year, and marked the eighth consecutive quarter of positive free cash flow generation."

Mr. Plant continued, "Free cash flow was deployed with a $0.10 per share common stock dividend, up 25% from the prior quarter, $125 million of common stock repurchases in the first quarter 2025, and an additional $100 million of repurchases in April. Howmet Aerospace's strong balance sheet continues to be recognized by the rating agencies, with Fitch upgrading its debt rating on the Company to BBB+, three notches into Investment Grade."

"Turning to the outlook, the commercial aerospace market remains poised for continued growth. Air passenger traffic continues to grow, led more recently by Europe and Asia Pacific. There has been some recent moderation in North American traffic growth, driven by tariff-related and economic uncertainty. Nevertheless, Howmet Aerospace's engine and airframe OEM customers continue to demonstrate growth, with record backlogs supported by under-build of aircraft in recent years and the desire for new, fuel-efficient aircraft. We continue to expect healthy growth in the defense aerospace market as well as industrial and other, with demand for industrial gas turbine fueled by significant data center expansion. For commercial transportation, a potential increase in truck builds in the second half of 2025 is less certain, given tariff-related and economic uncertainty in North America. However, our premium products and strong market position should allow Howmet Aerospace to continue to outperform the overall market. While the tariff situation remains fluid, we expect to pass on tariff-related costs to our customers. Taking these factors into account including the impact of tariffs, for the full year 2025 guidance, the revenue range has been widened with increases to Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted EPS*, and Free Cash Flow. The balance sheet continues to strengthen, and liquidity remains healthy."

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 (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.

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.

Diluted EPS excluding Special items	$	0.57		$	0.74		$	0.86

Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items 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 Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items.

⁽¹⁾		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.
⁽²⁾		Discrete tax items for each period included the following:
		for 1Q24, a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign tax credits ($6), and a net benefit for other small items ($1); for 4Q24, a benefit to release a valuation allowance related to U.S. state tax losses and credits ($6), an excess tax benefit for stock compensation ($1), a charge for prior year audit assessments and tax adjustments $4, and a charge to adjust a valuation allowance related to U.S. foreign tax credits $2; and for 1Q25, a net charge related to the expiration of a tax holiday in China $6, a charge for a tax reserve established in Germany $2, and a net charge for other small items $1.

Operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure.

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.

⁽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.
