Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Pension Benefit Obligations

As described in Notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had pension benefit obligations of $213.4 million as of December 31, 2025. As disclosed by management, the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to the pension benefit obligations are determined from actuarial valuations. Inherent in the valuation of pension benefit obligations are assumptions, including: (i) discount rates; (ii) inflation rates; (iii) pension increases; and (iv) life expectancy. Differences in actual experience or changes in these assumptions can have a material impact on the pension benefit obligations.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the pension benefit obligations is a critical audit matter are: (i) the significant judgment made by management, including the use of management’s specialists, when determining the pension benefit obligations; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions related to discount rates, inflation rates, pension increases, and life expectancy; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the pension benefit obligations. These procedures also included, among others, testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in the valuation of the pension benefit obligations. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in (i) testing management’s process for estimating the pension benefit obligations, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to discount rates, inflation rates, pension increases, and life expectancy and (iii) assessing the appropriateness of management’s methodology in line with the requirements of ASC 715 Compensation — Retirement Benefits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business description

Luxfer Holdings PLC is a global industrial company focused on niche applications in advanced materials engineering. We develop and manufacture high-performance materials, components, and high-pressure gas containment solutions for customers operating in defense, first response and healthcare, transportation, and specialty industrial markets. During 2025, Luxfer operated through three business segments: Elektron, Gas Cylinders, and Graphic Arts. On July 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., and following the transaction, Luxfer now operates throughtwo reportable business segments: Elektron and Gas Cylinders.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries (collectively "we," "our," "Luxfer" or "the Company") that we control. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized profits arising from intra-company transactions, have been eliminated in full.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and are presented in U.S. dollars ("USD"). The books of the Company's non-U.S. entities are converted to USD at each reporting period date in accordance with the accounting policy below. The functional currency of the holding company, Luxfer Holdings PLC, is USD and that of its U.K. subsidiaries is British pound sterling ("GBP"), being the most appropriate currency for those particular operations.

Discontinued operations and businesses held-for-sale

Certain amounts relating to businesses that have been, or are expected to be disposed of are recorded within assets or liabilities held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets, and within net loss / income from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income, when the criteria for discontinued operations are met.

Fiscal year

Our fiscal year ends on December 31.

Use of estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include our assessment of property, plant and equipment, right of use asset valuations and impairment, loss contingencies, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, estimated selling proceeds and valuation assumptions for assets classified as held for sale, contingent liabilities, income taxes and pension benefits. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition-date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The measurement of non-controlling interest is at fair value and is determined on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the net of the fair value of identifiable tangible net assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of the last day of the third quarter. Goodwill impairment testing is performed by first conducting a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the Company may determine that a quantitative impairment test is not required. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment for one or more reporting units and perform a quantitative impairment test directly.

On the last day of the third quarter in 2025, management carried out the qualitative review on all reporting units with a goodwill balance. No indicators of impairment were identified in these reporting units, therefore the Company concluded its review at this point and was not required to perform a quantitative review.

Other intangible assets are measured initially at cost or, when acquired in a business combination, at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as shown in the table below.

Customer relationships15 - 25 years
Technology and trading related5 - 25 years

The carrying values are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Reviews are made annually of the estimated remaining lives and residual values of the patents and trademarks.

Investments in affiliates

The company owns interest in the following affiliate:

Name of companyCountry ofincorporationHoldingProportion of voting rights and shares heldClassificationConsolidation method
Nikkei-MEL Co. LimitedJapanOrdinary shares50%Joint ventureEquity method

Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the particular asset. The depreciation expense during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $9.1 million, $9.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:

Freehold buildings10 - 33 years
Leasehold land and buildingsThe lesser of life of lease or freehold rate
Machinery and equipment3 - 25 years
Including:
Heavy production equipment (including casting, rolling, extrusion and press equipment)20 - 25 years
Chemical production plant and robotics7 - 10 years
Other production machinery5 - 10 years
Furniture, fittings, storage and equipment3 - 10 years
Computer equipment5 years

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Reviews are made annually of the estimated remaining lives and residual values of individual productive assets, taking account of commercial and technological obsolescence, as well as normal wear and tear.

We review the carrying value for any individual asset or asset group for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written-down to its estimated recoverable amount. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets.The measurement of impairment requires us to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets.

Impairments

The Company will recognize impairments in relation to property, plant and equipment, investments, goodwill, other identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with the above policies. Impairments relating to restructuring activities, incurred to exit an activity or location, will be recorded within the restructuring line on the Statements of Income. Other impairments will be recorded within the impairment charges line on the Statements of Income. Impairments related to discontinued operations will be recorded within the net loss from discontinued operations line on the Statements of Income.

As part of the Company’s strategic review commenced in December 2023, management determined that the Graphic Arts business no longer aligned with the Company’s overall strategy and initiated a process to divest the business. As a result of this decision and its impact on the expected hold period of the assets, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $12.7 million in 2023, recorded within impairment charges in the consolidated statement of income. This charge related to right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and property, plant and equipment of $11.1 million within the Graphic Arts segment.

In 2024, the Company initiated a formal sale process for the Graphic Arts business with the intention of divesting the business. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and ASC 360-10, the Graphic Arts business was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024; however, it did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. During 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $9.8 million on the held-for-sale asset group, recorded within disposal-related costs on the consolidated statement of income. This loss comprised $7.5 million relating to inventory, and $2.3 million relating to right-of-use assets, reflecting the remeasurement of the asset group to estimated fair value less costs to sell based on the expected consideration to be received.

In addition, the Company recognized asset impairments within restructuring charges of $6.5 million, $2.8 million and $3.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These impairments primarily related to the continued execution of restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing the Company’s fixed cost base and realigning its business operations.

Impairments (continued)

Within discontinued operations, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2.6 million in 2022 relating to a right-of-use asset previously sublet to Neos International Limited, representing building leases retained on the sale of Superform U.K. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized disposal-related credits of $0.4 million,$0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in relation to the previously impaired asset.

Also within discontinued operations in 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $2.8 million on a held-for-sale asset group relating to the Superform business. This loss was recorded to remeasure the carrying amount of the asset group to estimated fair value less costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360, reflecting revised expectations regarding the sale. The loss comprised $1.4 million relating to inventory, $1.2 million relating to right-of-use assets and $0.2 million relating to property, plant and equipment.

Revenue recognition

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. There is no variable consideration or obligations for returns, refunds, or other related obligations in the Company’s contracts.

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and may include a requirement of payment in advance. In general, our payment terms are 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the following sources and are recognized when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer:

Product revenues

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is recognized when the following are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) shipment or delivery has occurred (depending on the terms of the sale), which is when the transfer of product or control occurs; (iii) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured.

Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Practical Expedients

The Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted cash is recognized separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash balances were $2.4 million at December 31, 2025, and $2.2 million at December 31, 2024. The main amounts held in escrow were held in relation to the closure of Luxfer Gas Cylinders France.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Raw materials are valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Strategic purchases of inventories in order to secure supply and reduce the impact of price volatility on the cost of inventories are valued on a weighted-average cost basis. Work in progress and finished goods costs comprise direct materials including, where applicable, direct labor costs, an apportionment of production overheads and any other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories are reviewed on a regular basis, and we make allowance for excess or obsolete inventories and write-down to net realizable value based primarily on committed sales prices and our estimates of expected and future product demand and related pricing.

Research and Development

Included within research and development costs are directly attributable salaries, materials and consumables, as well as third-party contractor fees and research costs. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than an operation's functional currency are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of transactions. At each balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of each operation are translated into the functional currency of that operation at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.

All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income, with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These differences on foreign currency borrowings are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also included in equity.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences that arise, if any, are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of equity. Such translation differences are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the Company either loses control of the operation or liquidation occurs.

During 2025, the average USD/GBP sterling exchange rate was £0.7565 compared to £0.7821 in 2024, representing a strengthening of GBP against the U.S. dollar. This movement had a positive impact of $4.3 million on revenue and $0.4 million on operating income. Based on 2025 revenue and operating income levels, a £0.05 adverse movement in the USD/GBP exchange rate (i.e., GBP weakening) would be expected to decrease revenue by approximately $6.8 million and operating income by approximately $0.6 million.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. When the Company does not believe that, on the basis of available information, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be fully recovered, it recognizes a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactments date.

Furthermore, a tax benefit from a tax position may be recognized in the financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant tax authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefit recognized, when the likelihood of realization is more likely-than-not (i.e. greater than 50 percent), is measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement.

Employee benefit plans

The Company operates funded defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., the U.S. and France. The levels of funding are determined by periodic actuarial valuations that take into account changes in actuarial assumptions, including discount rates and expected returns on plan assets. The assets of the plans are generally held in separate Trustee-administered funds. The Company also operates defined contribution plans in the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Canada.

Actuarial assumptions are updated annually and are disclosed in Note 15. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits annually in the fourth quarter each year (“mark-to-market adjustment”) and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change, as they may each year. The remaining components of pension expense, including service and interest costs and estimated return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.

Payments to defined contribution plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Commitments and contingencies

Loss contingencies are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

In November 2018, an alleged explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Grand View, Idaho, reportedly causing property damage, personal injury, andone fatality. The Company had contracted with a service company for removal and disposal of certain waste resulting from the magnesium powder manufacturing operations at the Reade facility in Manchester, New Jersey. The Company believes this service company, in turn, contracted with the third-party disposal company, at whose facility the explosion occurred, for treatment and disposal of the waste. In November 2020, we were named as a defendant inthree lawsuits in relation to the incident – one by the third-party disposal company, one by the estate of the decedent, and one by an injured employee of the third-party disposal company. The three lawsuits were administratively consolidated and are collectively referred to as the US Ecology case. In January 2025, a final settlement was agreed upon related to the US Ecology case which was covered in full by the Company's insurance policy, with payment made in February 2025. The Company recognized a gain contingency related to the insurance payout receivable in connection with the case. Based on the terms of the insurance policy and communications with the insurer, management determined that the receipt of the claim proceeds was virtually certain and therefore recognized an asset in other receivables as of December 31, 2024, with a corresponding liability recorded in other current liabilities.

Additionally, within discontinued operations, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in 2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.

Share-based compensation

We account for share-based compensation awards on a fair value basis at the grant date. The estimated grant date fair value of each option award is recognized in income on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The estimated fair value of each option award is calculated using either the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte-Carlo simulation, both of which are subjective and involve the application of significant estimates and assumptions, including the expected term of the award, implied volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Restricted share awards and units are recorded as compensation cost on an accelerated basis over the requisite service periods based on the market value on the date of the grant.

Performance share units ("PSU") are stock awards where the ultimate number of shares issued will be contingent on the Company's performance against certain financial performance targets. The fair value of each PSU is based on the market value on the date of grant. We recognize expense based upon the fair value of the awards on the grant date and the estimated vesting of the PSUs granted. The estimated vesting of the PSUs is based on the probability of achieving certain financial performance thresholds over the specified performance period.

Trade receivables and concentration of credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of accounts receivable amounts that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

Estimates are used to determine the allowance. It is based on assessment of anticipated receipts and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.

We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers. However, we mitigate our exposure to credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. No individual customer represented more than 10% of our revenue or accounts receivable. The concentration of credit risks from financial instruments related to the markets we serve is not expected to materially and adversely affect our consolidated financial position, cash flows or future results of operations.

Derivative financial instruments

We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities (within accounts and other receivables or other current liabilities) at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any changes in fair value are reported in the income statement immediately in cost of sales. We use derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging commodity price risk and currency exposures, which exist as part of ongoing business operations.

New accounting standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires new and enhanced disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid, disaggregation by jurisdiction, and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 beginning with its annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting standards which have been early adopted

None

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating its impact and will adopt this guidance in accordance with the required effective date, beginning with its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2027.

The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards and does not expect any other standards that have been issued but are not yet effective to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. With the classification of our Superform business as discontinued operations, none of the Company's revenue from continuing operations is satisfied over time. As a result, the Company's contract receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are included within current assets and liabilities held-for-sale.

Disposal related costs of $0.1 million in 2025, represent professional fees incurred prior to the completion of the disposal of the Graphic Arts business.

The $9.8 million loss on held-for-sale asset group in 2024 relates to the Graphic Arts' assets which have been revalued to the expected consideration the Company will receive.

Disposal-related costs of $2.4 million in 2024, represent professional fees incurred and accrued in relation to the planned divestiture of the Graphic Arts segment.

  1. Restructuring charges

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we initiated and continued execution of certain business restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.

  1. Other (costs) / income

In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed legal matter was covered by insurance. The Company recognized $7.7 million as other income in 2024 relating to costs previously incurred. Of this amount, $5.8 million was received in 2024, with the remaining $1.9 million received in 2025 and included in accounts and other receivables at December 31, 2024.

In 2025, other costs of $0.8 million relate to fees incurred in relation the Company’s strategic review.

  1. Earnings per share

Basic earnings / (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, net of Treasury shares and shares held in ESOP. Diluted earnings / (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and the dilutive ordinary share equivalents.

Basic and diluted earnings / (loss) per share were calculated as follows:

(1) The calculation of earnings / (loss) per share is performed separately for continuing and discontinued operations. As a result, the sum of the two in any particular year may not equal the earnings-per-share amount in total.

(2) The loss per share for discontinued operations in 2025 and continuing operations in 2023 has not been diluted, since the incremental shares included in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

  1. Discontinued operations

Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business, which operates from a site in the U.S. was historically included in the Gas Cylinders Segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, we have reflected the results of its operations as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. We expect the Superform business to be sold within the next twelve months.

The assets and liabilities of the Superform business has been presented within Current assets held-for-saleand Current liabilities held-for-salein the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

In 2025 the Company recognized a $2.8 million loss on held-for-sale asset group relating to Superform assets. The loss reflects an adjustment to bring the carrying amount in line with its estimated fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with ASC 360, due to revised expectations regarding the sale. The fair value measurement was determined using a non-recurring fair value approach under ASC 820. As the asset group is not traded in an active market, the Company applied a market approach, estimating fair value based on recent transactions involving comparable businesses of a similar size and industry profile. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Also in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a disposal-related credit of $0.4 million,$0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in relation to a previously impaired asset from the previous dispositions which occurred in 2021.

Additionally, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision of $3.1 million in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in 2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.

The expense has been recorded within discontinued operations in selling, general and administrative expenses, consistent with the nature of the underlying site and its association with the disposed business.

The expense has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within other current liabilities as a short-term provision, reflecting the Group’s ongoing legal obligation as guarantor and the expected timing of settlement.

The associated assets and liabilities relating to Superform U.S. that are classified as held-for-sale were as follows:

In 2024, the Company recognized a $6.1 million gain on disposal in relation to the sale of the land and buildings in our Elektron division. Net consideration of $7.3 million was received in the fourth quarter of 2024.

  1. Held-for-sale assets and liabilities (continued)

As a result of the Company’s strategic review process announced in October 2023, the Company concluded that its Graphic Arts business no longer aligned with the Company’s overall business and value proposition and as a result the assets and liabilities of the business were disclosed as held-for-sale. In 2024, the company recognized a $9.8 million loss on the held-for-sale asset group, recognized within disposal related costs, relating to our Graphic Arts segment to reflect its fair value. A total $2.4 million of costs ($1.7 million accrual), were also recognized within disposal related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income / (Loss), for expected costs in relation to professional fees for the planned divestiture of the Graphic Arts segment.

On July 2, 2025, the Company completed the divesture of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., a newly created affiliate of TerraMar Capital LLC. Graphic Arts was previously reported as a separate operating segment under ASC 280. In 2025, the Company recognized a net loss on the held-for-sale asset group of $1.9 million. The consideration and loss on disposal was calculated as follows:

The loss on disposal of $1.9 million has been recognized within disposal related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income / (Loss). The working capital adjustment reflects cash received prior to the divestiture, resulting in a reduction of the consideration paid by Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc.

The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of Graphic Arts at the date of disposal were as follows:

The interest coverage ratio measures our EBITDA (as defined in the agreements) to Net Finance Charges (as defined in the agreements). We are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.0:1. The leverage ratio measures our Total Net Debt (as defined in the agreements) to the Relevant Period Adjusted Acquisition EBITDA (as defined in the agreements). We are required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 3.0:1.

Any breach of a covenant could result in a default under the agreements, in which case lenders could elect to declare all borrowed amounts immediately due and payable if the default is not remedied or waived within any applicable grace periods. Additionally, our subsidiaries' ability to make investments, incur liens and make certain restricted payments is also controlled by limits within the agreements.

  1. Derivatives and Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments comprise bank and other loans, senior loan notes, derivatives and trade payables. Other than derivatives, the main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the Company's operations. The Company also has various financial assets, such as trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents, which arise directly from its operations.

Derivative financial instruments We are exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, such as magnesium and aluminum prices. We manage interest rate exposures through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward purchase contracts. We do not use market risk-sensitive instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In 2025, the Company had $0.3 million (2024: $nil) derivative financial instruments recorded within accounts and other receivables. The value of derivative financial instruments recorded in other current liabilities in 2025 was $nil (2024: $0.9 million).

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

The Company incurs currency transaction risk whenever one of the Company's operating subsidiaries enters into either a purchase or sales transaction in a currency other than its functional currency. Currency transaction risk is reduced by matching sales and expenses in the same currency. The Company's U.S. operations have little currency exposure as most purchases, costs and sales are conducted in U.S. dollars. The Company's U.K. operations are exposed to exchange transaction risks, mainly because these operations sell goods priced in U.S. dollars and purchase raw materials priced in U.S. dollars.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held various forward foreign currency exchange contracts in respect of forward sales for U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars for the receipt of GBP sterling. The Company also held forward foreign currency exchange contracts in respect of forward purchases for U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars by the sale of GBP sterling. The contract totals in GBP sterling, range of maturity dates and range of exchange rates are disclosed overleaf, with the value denominated in GBP sterling, given that it is the currency the all of the contracts are held in.

Fair value of financial instruments

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instrument:

Cash at bank and in hand

The carrying value approximates the fair value as a result of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Cash at bank and in hand are subject to a right to offset in the U.S. and U.K.

Bank loans

At December 31, 2025, bank and other loans of $40.3 million (2024: $45.3 million) were outstanding. At December 31, 2025, bank and other loans are shown net of issue costs of $0.9 million (2024: $0.2 million), and these issue costs are to be amortized to the expected maturity of the facilities. This carrying value approximates to its fair value at December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. At December 31, 2025, $15.3 million (2024: $20.3 million) of the total $40.3 million (2024: $45.3 million) bank and other loans was variable interest rate debt and subject to floating interest rate risk, with the remainder being fixed rate debt.

Forward foreign currency exchange rate contracts

The fair value of these contracts was calculated by determining what the Company would be expected to receive or pay on termination of each individual contract by comparison to present market prices.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of the financial instruments of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, were analyzed using the hierarchy as follows:

The Company's unrecognized tax benefits relate to the pricing of its various inter-company transactions. The transfer pricing calculation is often multifaceted, taking into account economics, finance, industry practice, and functional analysis, a company's transfer pricing position often sits at a particular point along a wide continuum of possible pricing outcomes. The inherent subjectivity in pricing inter-company balances gives rise to measurement uncertainty. Management has considered the valuation uncertainty in determining the measurement of the uncertain tax position. There are no current tax audit examinations.

At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there wasnil, nil, and $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax line. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognizedno amounts related to interest and penalties.

  1. Income Taxes (continued)

Taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries where it is our intention to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax efficient to do so. The amount of unremitted earnings at December 31, 2025 was approximately $99.4 million (at December 31, 2024: $108.6 million, at December 31, 2023: $92.6 million). If these earnings were remitted, it is estimated that the additional income tax arising would be approximately $1.5 million (at December 31, 2024: $1.2 million, at December 31, 2023: $1.3 million).

Deferred taxes were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Total deferred tax liabilities$23.3$22.0
Net deferred tax liabilities$(17.2)$(9.9)

Deferred tax liabilities and assets represent the tax effect of temporary differences between the value of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and such values as measured by the relevant jurisdiction's tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities from the same tax jurisdiction have been netted, resulting in assets and liabilities being recorded under the deferred taxation captions on the consolidated balance sheet.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences and carryforwards become deductible or creditable. Management considers the scheduled reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

Reconciliations of the beginning and ending valuation allowances were as follows:

Years ended December 31,
In millions20252024

At December 31, 2025, the Company had carried forward tax losses and tax credits of $77.0 million (U.K.: $16.4 million, non-U.K.: $60.6 million). Carried forward tax losses and tax credits for 2024 were $74.5 million (U.K.: $15.4 million, non-U.K.: $59.1 million) and for 2023 were $75.8 million (U.K.: $16.5 million, non-U.K.: $59.3 million). To the extent that these losses are not already recognized as deferred income taxes assets and are available to offset against future taxable profits, it is expected that the future effective tax rate would be below the standard rate in the country where the profits are offset. A valuation allowance of $20.1 million (2024: $17.4 million, 2023: $17.0 million) exists for deferred tax benefits related to the tax loss and tax credit carry forwards and other benefits that may not be realized. The apportionment of the valuation allowance between the U.K. and non-U.K. jurisdictions is U.K.: $4.1 million, non-U.K.: $16.0 million (2024: U.K.: $3.8 million, non-U.K.: $13.6 million; 2023: U.K.: $3.9 million, non-U.K.: $13.1 million). The non-U.K. valuation allowances relates to tax losses in France and Germany.

Of the carried forward tax losses and tax credits as at December 31, 2025, $3.1 million expire between 2026 and 2036, and $73.9 million are available for indefinite carry-forward.

  1. Pension Plans

The Company operates funded defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., the U.S. and France. The levels of funding are determined by periodic actuarial valuations that take into account changes in actuarial assumptions, including discount rates and expected returns on plan assets. The assets of the plans are generally held in separate Trustee-administered funds. The Company also operates defined contribution plans in the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Canada.

The "10% corridor" method for recognizing gains and losses has been adopted. This methodology means that cumulative gains and losses up to an amount equal to 10% of the higher of the liabilities and the assets (the corridor) have no impact on the pension cost. Cumulative gains or losses greater than this corridor are amortized over the average future lifetime of the members in the plans.

The Company’s principal defined benefit pension arrangement is the U.K. Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“the Plan”), which closed to new members in 1998, with new employees thereafter eligible for a defined contribution plan. In April 2016, the Plan was closed to future benefit accrual, with affected members offered participation in a defined contribution plan. In January 2026, subsequent to the 2025 year-end, the Plan’s Trustee entered into a full buy-in contract with a U.K. insurer, designed to substantially match the Plan’s benefit obligations; the impact of this transaction is not included in the Company’s 2025 financial statements. The Company completed a buyout of the U.S. BA Holdings, Inc. Pension Plan in the first quarter of 2023. The Company’s other pension arrangements are not significant.

The following tables present reconciliations of pension benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and the funded status of pension plans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The net benefit surplus of $54.9 million (2024: $49.3 million) in the U.K. plan is recorded in non-current assets at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net benefit obligation of $0.1 million (2024: $0.1 million) in the U.S. / other is recorded in non-current liabilities at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As the Plan had a surplus of $54.9 million as at December 31, 2025, no deficit contributions are payable and no Recovery Plan is required, as agreed by the Trustee until the next triennial valuation.

The amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income in respect of the pension plans were as follows:

In September 2019, the U.K. Statistics Authority announced plans to reform the Retail Prices Index (“RPI”). These plans were confirmed on November 25, 2020, when the U.K. government and the U.K. Statistics Authority announced that RPI would be aligned with the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (“CPIH”) from 2030, with no compensation payable to holders of index-linked gilts. As CPIH inflation has historically been consistently lower than RPI inflation, this reform is expected to result in a significant reduction in RPI inflation from 2030 onwards. Accordingly, the Company has applied a stepped inflation assumption, using different inflation rates before and after 2030.

The financial assumptions used in the calculations were:

Post 5 April 20051.902.002.00

The discount rate for the U.K. Plan is determined using a cash-flow matched methodology, with reference to an AA-rated corporate bond spot curve and taking into account the duration of the Plan’s liabilities. The inflation assumption is derived using a consistent cash-flow matched approach, based on the differential between yields on fixed-interest and index-linked U.K. government gilts. The expected return on assets is determined with reference to the Plan’s asset allocation and the expected return for each asset class as of the balance sheet date.

Investment strategies

For the principal defined benefit plan in the Company, the U.K. Luxfer Group Pension Plan (the “Plan”), the Plan’s assets are invested primarily in matching assets. As of December 31, 2025, the Plan’s assets comprised index-linked U.K. government bonds and cash, reflecting the Trustee's de-risking actions undertaken during the year. Subsequent to year end, in January 2026, the Trustee completed a full buy-in transaction with a U.K. insurer, substantially matching the Plan’s benefit obligations.

Risk exposures

The U.K. Plan’s investment strategy has been de-risked, with assets largely invested in matching assets designed to closely align with the Plan’s liabilities. As a result, the Plan’s exposure to asset price volatility and funding risk has been significantly reduced. The principal remaining risks relate to residual differences between asset and liability movements and, prior to the buy-in becoming fully effective, the risk that changes in economic assumptions could adversely affect the funding position. Any such deterioration could increase the Company’s future cash contribution requirements.

Special events

In 2021, the Company decided to terminate its U.S. Pension Plan. The Company completed the buyout of the U.S. plan in the first quarter of 2023. As a result, a final premium totaling $29.3 million was paid to settle the liabilities. Assets of $27.2 million were sold from the plan, resulting in a $2.1 million contribution from the Company to extinguish the liabilities from the plan in full.

On January 8, 2026, subsequent to the 2025 year-end, the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“LGPP”) entered into a full buy-in contract with a U.K. insurer, Aviva. The buy-in is designed to substantially match the Plan’s benefit obligations with corresponding cash flow payments from the insurer, with effect from March 2026 payroll, in exchange for an agreed premium. As this transaction occurred after the balance sheet date, the measurement of the Plan’s assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025 did not account for this event.

There were no disposals, acquisitions, benefit changes, bulk transfers, redundancy programs, or other events during the year that required adjustment to the actuarial assumptions or calculations. The actuarial valuations have been prepared on the basis that the Plan remains ongoing and that the participating employers are going concerns.

Virgin Media Ltd v. NTL Pension Trustees II Ltd

In June 2023, the U.K. High Court ruled that certain historical amendments to contracted-out defined benefit pension schemes made between April 6, 1997 and April 5, 2016 are invalid where the required written actuarial confirmation under section 37 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 was not obtained. This ruling was upheld by the Court of Appeal on July 25, 2024.

Under the rules of the U.K. Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“LGPP”), the Plan was contracted-out prior to April 6, 1997 on a Guaranteed Minimum Pension (“GMP”) basis, from April 6, 1997 to April 5, 2012 on a Protected Rights basis, and from April 6, 2012 on a Reference Scheme Test basis. The Company has reviewed the population of LGPP members who were in active service during the relevant periods and, based on this assessment, considers the risk of a material impact arising from the court rulings to be low.

Based on the Company’s assessment, no additional benefits or liabilities have been assumed to arise as a result of the 2023 and 2024 Virgin Media judgments. In September 2025, the U.K. government published proposed legislation that would permit the required actuarial confirmations to be obtained retrospectively. While this represents a positive development, the legislation has not yet been enacted and legal uncertainty remains.

The Plan Trustee are undertaking data cleansing activities and continuing to assess the potential implications of the rulings. Given the low population potentially affected, the ongoing nature of the review, and the current legislative uncertainty, it is not possible at this stage to reliably estimate any potential financial impact. Accordingly, no adjustment to the Plan’s liabilities has been recognized as of December 31, 2025.

  1. Share Plans

(a)The Luxfer Group Employee Share Ownership Plan

The trust

In 1997, the Company established an employee benefit trust ("the ESOP") with independent Trustees, to purchase and hold shares in the Company in trust to be used to satisfy options granted to eligible senior employees under the Company's share plans established from time to time.

The ESOP was established with the benefit of a gift equivalent to the set up and running costs. Purchase monies and costs required by the ESOP Trustees to purchase shares for and under the provisions of the trust are provided by way of an interest free loan from a Company subsidiary. The loan is repayable, in normal circumstances, out of monies received from senior employees when they exercise options granted to them over shares. Surplus shares are held by the ESOP Trustees to satisfy future option awards. The ESOP Trustees have waived their right to receive dividends on shares held in trust. The Remuneration Committee is charged with determining which senior employees are to be granted options, and in what number, subject to the relevant plan rules.

Changes in the year

The change in the number of shares held by the Trustees of the ESOP and the number of share options held over those shares are shown below:

Number of shares held by ESOP Trustees
£0.50 ordinary shares
At January 1, 2025544,603
Shares utilized during the year(118,128)
At December 31, 2025426,475

At December 31, 2025, the loan outstanding from the ESOP was $0.3 million (2024: $0.4 million).

The market value of each £0.50 ordinary share held by the ESOP at December 31, 2025, was $13.53 (2024: $13.09).

(b)Share-based compensation

Luxfer Holdings PLC Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan and Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan

As an important retention tool and to align the long-term financial interests of our management with those of our shareholders, the Company adopted the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") for the Company's senior employees and the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non-Executive Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the "Director EIP") for the Non-Executive Directors.

The equity or equity-related awards under the LTIP and the Director EIP are based on the ordinary shares of the Company. The Remuneration Committee administers the LTIP and has the power to determine to whom the awards will be granted, the amount, type and other terms. Awards granted under the LTIP generally vest one-quarter each year over afour-year period, subject to continuous employment and certain other conditions, with the exercise period expiringsix years after grant date. Awards granted under the Director EIP are non-discretionary, are purely time-based and vest overone year, with settlement occurring immediately on vesting.

The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023 was estimated to be $8.93, $7.13 and $14.73 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options that were exercised during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $2.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to share options was $2.5 million (2024: $3.2 million). This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years (2024:1.8 years ).

The following table illustrates the assumptions used in deriving the fair value of share options during the year:

The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

Employee share incentive plans The Company operates an all-employee share incentive plan in its U.K. and U.S. operations and may look to implement plans in other geographic regions.

  1. Segment Information

We classify our operations into business segments based primarily on shared economic characteristics, including the nature of the products and services; the production processes; the type or class of customer; the methods used to distribute products or provide services; and the nature of the regulatory environment.

During 2025, the Company operated five business units, which aggregated into three reportable segments within continuing operations, andone within discontinued operations. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment, and Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech aggregate into the Elektron segment.

As of December 31, 2023, it was determined that the Luxfer Graphic Arts business no longer met the criteria, specifically similar economic characteristics, for it to be aggregated within the Elektron segment. As a result, Luxfer Graphic Arts was disaggregated from the Elektron segment and reported separately as the Graphic Arts segment. The Graphic Arts business was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and was sold on July 2, 2025.

The Superform business unit previously aggregated into the Gas Cylinders segment and is presented within discontinued operations.

A summary of the operations of the Company’s reportable segments within continuing operations is provided below.

Gas Cylinders segment

The Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized cylinders using carbon composite materials and aluminum alloys. Products include pressurized cylinders for self-contained breathing apparatus (“SCBA”) used by firefighters and other emergency responders; cylinders for the containment of oxygen and other medical gases used in healthcare and aviation applications; aerospace and aviation cylinders used in aircraft safety systems, including emergency slide inflation and onboard oxygen storage; cylinders and systems for alternative fuel vehicles, including compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and hydrogen; space-related cylinders used in launch vehicle applications; and cylinders used in specialty industrial applications.

Elektron segment The Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium. Key product lines include advanced lightweight magnesium alloys used across aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial applications; magnesium powders used in aircraft countermeasure flares and heater meal applications; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used in automotive emissions control, industrial catalysis, pharmaceuticals, and other specialty applications.

Graphic Arts segment

The Graphic Arts segment provided a range of pre-sensitized magnesium, copper, and zinc plates, along with associated chemicals, used in the production of foil-stamping and embossing dies. The segment also manufactured non-sensitized polished brass and magnesium plates for computer numerical control (“CNC”) engraving and offered advisory services for turnkey engraving operations, including etching machines, computer-to-plate (“CtP”) machines, exposure units, and film setters. The Company completed the sale of the Graphic Arts business on July 2, 2025.

Other

Other primarily represents unallocated corporate expenses and includes non-service-related defined benefit pension cost or credit.

Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker "CODM", the CEO, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, using net sales and adjusted EBITA, which is defined as the Company's measure of segment profit or loss, and is based on income before tax from continuing operations, adjusted for share-based compensation charges; restructuring charges; impairment charges; disposal costs; gain on disposal of assets held for sale/property, plant and equipment; defined benefit credit/charge, interest expense, net and amortization.

Unallocated assets and liabilities include those which are held on behalf of the Company and cannot be allocated to a segment, such as taxation, investments, cash, retirement benefits obligations, bank and other loans and holding company assets and liabilities.

Capital commitments

At December 31, 2025, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $2.2 million (2024: $0.5 million and 2023: $2.3 million) for the acquisition of new plant and equipment.

Committed banking facilities

The Company had committed banking facilities of $125.0 million at December 31, 2025 and $125.0 million at December 31, 2024. Of these committed facilities, $15.3 million was drawn at December 31, 2025 and $17.2 million at December 31, 2024. The Company also had an additional $25.0 million of uncommitted facilities through an accordion provision at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Additionally, the Company has various uncommitted transitional banking and foreign exchange lines available for day-to-day operational purposes.

Contingencies

In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case are covered by insurance. The Company recognized $7.7 million in the twelve months of 2024, in relation to recovery of these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.8 million cash was received in 2024 with a further $1.9 million received in 2025.

In January 2025, a final settlement was agreed upon related to the US Ecology case which was covered in full by the Company's insurance policy, with payment made in February 2025. As a result, the Company recorded a liability for the settlement in other current liabilities and recognized a gain contingency related to the insurance payout receivable in accounts and other receivables as at December 31, 2024, nil at December 31, 2025.

In April 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate allegations of compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel leaks in certain CNG fuel systems, equipped with certain Luxfer Type 4 CNG fuel containers. Luxfer is fully co-operating with this Preliminary Evaluation, which has a range of potential outcomes, and at this stage Luxfer is not able to estimate the potential financial impact. Luxfer does not believe that this alleged issue poses an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.

In July 2025, in accordance with the Luxfer Graphic Arts sale agreement, the Company has fully indemnified the purchaser for certain identified environmental matters relating to the Madison Illinois site, which we estimate will cost approximately $1.0 million to close out. A provision for these obligations has been recognized and is included within other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, we have provided indemnification for any unidentified environmental matters that may have occurred between 2003 (the year of the original acquisition by Luxfer) and July 2025, capped at $10.0 million and / or 5 years.

Also, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision of $3.1 million in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in 2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.

  1. Subsequent Events

On January 8, 2026, subsequent to the 2025 year-end, the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“LGPP”) entered into a full buy-in contract with a U.K. insurer, Aviva. The buy-in is designed to substantially match the Plan’s benefit obligations with corresponding cash flow payments from the insurer, with effect from March 2026 payroll, in exchange for an agreed premium. As this transaction occurred after the balance sheet date, the measurement of the Plan’s assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025 did not account for this event.
