Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Constellium delivered strong results in 2022, and I want to thank each of our 12,500 employees for their commitment and relentless focus on safety and serving our customers. 2022 was a year full of challenges including significant inflationary pressures and continuing supply chain disruptions. Despite these challenges, we achieved record Adjusted EBITDA of €673 million, including record results in both A&T and AS&I, generated record Free Cash Flow of €182 million and reduced our leverage to 2.8x.”

Mr. Germain continued, “Looking ahead to 2023, we expect aerospace demand to remain strong as the path of recovery continues. We expect automotive demand to improve, but to remain below pre-COVID levels. In packaging, we are experiencing weakness as we begin the year, but expect demand to return to trend growth rates as excess inventory is depleted. While we continue to see signs of weakness across certain industrial markets, we are encouraged by the resilience of a number of these markets. Overall, we like our end market positioning. We are expecting inflationary pressures to continue at an elevated level throughout 2023, though we are confident in our ability to offset a substantial portion of the impact with improved pricing and our relentless focus on cost control.”

Mr. Germain concluded, "Based on our current outlook, we expect Adjusted EBITDA of €640 million to €670 million and Free Cash Flow in excess of €125 million in 2023. We also remain confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term target of Adjusted EBITDA over €800 million in 2025. We are focused on executing our strategy, driving operational performance, generating Free Cash Flow, achieving our ESG objectives and increasing shareholder value.”

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of lower shipments and higher operating costs mainly due to inflation and operating challenges at our Muscle Shoals facility which resulted in higher maintenance costs, partially offset by improved price and mix and favorable foreign exchange translation.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was stable compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due to higher shipments and improved price and mix offset by higher operating costs mainly due to inflation. Shipments of 61 thousand metric tons increased 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due to higher shipments of automotive extruded products, partially offset by lower other extruded product shipments. Revenue of €428 million increased 19% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to improved price and mix, partially offset by lower metal prices.

For the full year of 2022, Adjusted EBITDA of €149 million increased 5% compared to the full year of 2021, primarily due to higher shipments and improved price and mix, partially offset by higher operating costs mainly due to inflation. Shipments of 268 thousand metric tons increased 2% compared to the full year of 2021 on higher shipments of automotive and other extruded products. Revenue of €1.9 billion increased 35% compared to the full year of 2021 primarily due to improved price and mix and higher metal prices.

Net Income

For the fourth quarter of 2022, net income of €30 million compares to net income of €7 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The increase in net income is primarily related to gains on OPEB and pension plan amendments in 2022 compared to a loss on OPEB plan amendments in 2021, partially offset by lower gross profit and an unfavorable change in gains and losses on derivatives mostly related to our metal hedging positions.

For the full year of 2022, net income of €308 million compares to net income of €262 million in the prior year. The increase in net income is primarily related to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets, gains on OPEB and pension plan amendments in 2022 compared to a loss on OPEB plan amendments in 2021, and lower finance costs, partially offset by an unfavorable change in gains and losses on derivatives mostly related to our metal hedging positions and higher selling and administrative expenses.

Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow was €182 million in the full year of 2022 compared to €135 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to stronger Adjusted EBITDA and lower cash interest, partially offset by increased capital expenditures and higher cash taxes.

Cash flows from operating activities were €451 million for the full year of 2022 compared to cash flows from operating activities of €357 million in the prior year. Constellium increased derecognized factored receivables by €23 million for the full year of 2022 compared to a decrease of €53 million in the prior year.

Cash flows used in investing activities were €270 million for the full year of 2022 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of €221 million in the prior year.

Cash flows used in financing activities were €163 million for the full year of 2022 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of €435 million in the prior year. In 2022, Constellium drew on the Pan-U.S. ABL due 2026 and used the proceeds and cash on the balance sheet to repay the €180 million PGE French Facility due 2022 and the CHF 15 million Swiss Facility due 2025. In 2021, Constellium issued $500 million of 3.75% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029 and €300 million of 3.125% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2029 and used the proceeds and cash on the balance sheet to redeem $650 million of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2025, $400 million of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2024 and $200 million of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026.

Liquidity and Net Debt

Liquidity at December 31, 2022 was €709 million, comprised of €166 million of cash and cash equivalents and €543 million available under our committed lending facilities and factoring arrangements.

Net debt was €1,891 million at December 31, 2022 compared to €1,981 million at December 31, 2021.

Outlook

Based on our current outlook, we expect Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €640 million to €670 million in 2023.

We are not able to provide a reconciliation of this Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, metal lag, impairment or restructuring charges, or taxes without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, net income in the future.

(A)

In the year ended December 31, 2022 the group recognized a net gain of €47 million from past service cost as a result from a new 3-year collective bargaining agreement between Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood and the United Steelworkers Local Union 5668 entered in October 2022. The agreement resulted in changes in OPEB and pension benefits that were accounted for as a plan amendment in the year ended December 31, 2022. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the group recognized a loss of €31 million from past service cost following an adverse decision of the Fourth Circuit Court in the dispute between Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC and the United Steelworkers Local Union 5668 over the transfer of certain participants in the Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood Retiree Medical and Life Insurance Plan to a third-party health network.

(B)

Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium’s Revenue are established and when aluminium purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The Group accounts for inventory using a weighted average price basis and this adjustment aims to remove the effect of volatility in LME prices. The calculation of the Group metal price lag adjustment is based on an internal standardized methodology calculated at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites and is primarily calculated as the average value of product recorded in inventory, which approximates the spot price in the market, less the average value transferred out of inventory, which is the weighted average of the metal element of cost of sales, based on the quantity sold in the year.

Non-GAAP measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), this press release includes information regarding certain financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with IFRS (“non-GAAP measures”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are: VAR, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton, Free Cash Flow, NOPAT, Invested Capital, ROIC and Net debt. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures are presented in the schedules to this press release. We believe these non-GAAP measures are important supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. By providing these measures, together with the reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business, our results of operations and our financial position, as well as assisting investors in evaluating the extent to which we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, these non-GAAP financial measures supplement our IFRS disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the IFRS measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Value-Added Revenue ("VAR") is defined as revenue, excluding revenue from incidental activities, minus cost of metal which includes, cost of aluminium adjusted for metal lag, cost of other alloying metals, freight out costs, and realized gains and losses from hedging. Management believes that VAR is a useful measure of our activity as it eliminates the impact of metal costs from our revenue and reflects the value-added elements of our activity. VAR eliminates the impact of metal price fluctuations which are not under our control and which we generally pass-through to our customers and facilitates comparisons from period to period. VAR is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue determined in accordance with IFRS.

In considering the financial performance of the business, management and our chief operational decision maker, as defined by IFRS, analyze the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA in all of our business segments. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss for the period. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, is useful to investors and is used by our management for measuring profitability because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation, amortization, impairment and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives as well as items that do not impact the day-to-day operations and that management in many cases does not directly control or influence. Therefore, such adjustments eliminate items which have less bearing on our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of Constellium and in comparison to other companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions which do not qualify for hedge accounting, metal price lag, share based compensation expense, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is the measure of performance used by management in evaluating our operating performance, in preparing internal forecasts and budgets necessary for managing our business and, specifically in relation to the exclusion of the effect of favorable or unfavorable metal price lag, this measure allows management and the investor to assess operating results and trends without the impact of our accounting for inventories. We use the weighted average cost method in accordance with IFRS which leads to the purchase price paid for metal impacting our cost of goods sold and therefore profitability in the period subsequent to when the related sales price impacts our revenues. Management believes this measure also provides additional information used by our lending facilities providers with respect to the ongoing performance of our underlying business activities. Historically, we have used Adjusted EBITDA in calculating our compliance with financial covenants under certain of our loan facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS, is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period, revenues or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditure, net of grants received. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of the net cash flow generated or used by the business as it takes into account both the cash generated or consumed by operating activities, including working capital, and the capital expenditure requirements of the business. However, Free Cash Flow is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS. Free Cash Flow has certain inherent limitations, including the fact that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary spending, notably because it does not reflect principal repayments required in connection with our debt or capital lease obligations.

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is defined as Net Operating Profit after Tax (“NOPAT”), a non-GAAP measure, divided by Invested Capital, a non-GAAP measure. The calculation of ROIC together with a reconciliation of NOPAT to Net Income, the most comparable IFRS measure, are presented in the schedules to this press release. Management believes ROIC is useful in assessing the effectiveness of our capital allocation over time. ROIC is not calculated based on measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to similar metrics calculated based on measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Net debt is defined as borrowings plus or minus the fair value of cross currency basis swaps net of margin calls less cash and cash equivalents and cash pledged for the issuance of guarantees. Management believes that Net debt is a useful measure of indebtedness because it takes into account the cash and cash equivalent balances held by the Company as well as the total external debt of the Company. Net debt is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to borrowings determined in accordance with IFRS.
