Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Constellium is a global leader in the design and manufacture of a broad range of innovative specialty rolled and extruded aluminum products, serving a wide range of blue-chip customers primarily in the aerospace, packaging, automotive, commercial transportation, general industrial and defense end-markets. As of March 31, 2025, the Group operated 25 manufacturing facilities,3 R&D centers and 3 administrative centers.
Constellium SE, a French Societas Europaea (SE), is the parent company of the Group. Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to "we", "our", "us", "Constellium", the "Group" and the "Company" in this document, we are referring to Constellium SE and its subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Constellium SE and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Constellium in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable for interim periods and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position at March 31, 2025, results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 have been included. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire 2025 fiscal year.
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The principal areas of judgment relate to (1) impairment of assets; (2) actuarial assumptions related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans; (3) tax uncertainties and valuation allowances; and (4) assessment of loss contingencies, including environmental and litigation liabilities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, giving consideration to previous experience. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, our accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained, and our operating environment changes. The Group continuously reviews its significant assumptions and estimates in light of the uncertainty associated with the global geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions and their potential direct and indirect impacts on its business and its financial statements. There can be no guarantee that our assumptions will materialize or that actual results will not differ materially from estimates.
Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09 -Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions and applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard is effective for annual disclosures in fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our annual financial disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 -Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, requiring public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement line items in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed expense information notably on employee compensation,
-6- depreciation and amortization and purchase of inventory, which is critical to understanding an entity’s performance, assessing its prospects for future cash flows and comparing its performance both over time and with that of other entities. This accounting standard as updated in ASU 2025-01 -Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date which clarified the interim reporting effective date of ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.
The Group plans to adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations on their required effective dates and does not expect any material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a result of their adoption.

3.2 Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income
Constellium’s chief operating decision-maker measures the profitability and financial performance of its operating segments based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation, amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting, metal price lag, share-based compensation expense, non operating gains / (losses) on pension and other post-employment benefits, expenses on factoring arrangements, 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.

(A)Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum prices included within Constellium's Revenue are established and when aluminum purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The metal price lag will generally increase our earnings in times of rising primary aluminum prices and decrease our earnings in times of declining primary aluminum prices. The calculation of metal price lag adjustment is based on a standardized methodology applied at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites. Metal price lag is calculated as the average value of product purchased in the period, approximated at the market price, less the value of product in inventory at the weighted average of metal purchased over time, multiplied by the quantity sold in the period.
(C)Includes $7 million of insurance proceeds and $3 million of clean-up costs related to the flooding of our facilities in Valais (Switzerland).

-11-
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAX
Income tax expense for interim periods is recognized based on the annualized effective tax rate expected for the full year adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was 38.7% and 25.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes the impact of the temporary surtax in France which was enacted in February 2025, and resulted in a statutory tax rate of 30.98% for 2025, compared to 25.82% in 2024.
The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to the geographical mix of our pre-tax results and losses in certain jurisdictions where we have recorded a full valuation allowance.
We have generally not recognized income tax expense or benefits on pre-tax income or losses generated in several jurisdictions where the recent history of operating losses does not allow us to satisfy the “more likely than not” criterion for the recognition of deferred tax assets.
NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. Ordinary share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.
The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows:
| Three months ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in millions of U.S. Dollars except share and per share amounts ) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income attributable to equity holders of Constellium | 37 | 21 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Basic - weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding | 142,495,499 | 146,796,257 |
| Dilutive effect of non-vested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units | 1,594,032 | 3,414,769 |
| Diluted - weighted-average ordinary shares, of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units | 144,089,531 | 150,211,026 |
| Basic earnings per share | $0.26 | $0.14 |
| Diluted earnings per share | $0.26 | $0.14 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 no ordinary shares assuming exercise of equity-based awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

Factoring arrangements
The Group has entered into several accounts receivable factoring programs with various financial institutions for certain receivables of the Group.
The proceeds from the sale of certain of these receivables comprise a combination of cash and a deferred purchase price receivable. The deferred purchase price receivable is ultimately realized by the Group following the collection by the financial institutions of the underlying receivables sold. The beginning deferred purchase price balance for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $2 million and $8 million, respectively. During each of the aforementioned periods, there were non-cash additions to the deferred purchase price receivable of $0 million and $18 million (these additions are excluded from the Interim Statement of Cash Flow as they are non-cash investing transactions) and cash collections of $2 million and $17 million, respectively. This activity resulted in an ending deferred purchase price receivable balance of $0 million and $9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Group has recorded $5 million and $5 million of expense related to its factoring programs in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and has presented these amounts in Other gains and losses - net in its Interim Consolidated Income Statement.

12.2 Valuation hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value, grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
Level 1 is based on a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments. Level 1 includes aluminum, copper and zinc futures that are traded on the LME.
Level 2 is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 2 includes foreign exchange derivatives, natural gas derivatives, silver derivatives and aluminum premium derivatives. The present value of future cash flows based on the forward or on the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date is used to value foreign exchange derivatives.
Level 3 is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Trade receivables are classified as a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy.

| Legal claims and other costs | 10 | 12 | 9 | 11 |
| Total provisions | 26 | 92 | 25 | 91 |
Close down, environmental and remediation costs
Environmental remediation costs are accounted for based on the Group's best estimate of the costs of its environmental clean-up obligations. The Group also records provisions for close down and restoration efforts based on the net present value of estimated future costs of the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual material of disturbed areas. These provisions are expected to be settled over the next 40 years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the technical remediation plans.
Contingencies
The Group is involved, and may become involved, in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to customer claims, product liability, employee and retiree benefit matters and other commercial matters. The Group records provisions for pending litigation matters when it determines that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some proceedings, the issues raised can be highly complex and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed can be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages can be difficult to ascertain. In exceptional cases, when the Group considers that disclosures relating to provisions and contingencies may prejudice its position, disclosures are limited to the general nature of the matter in hand.
