Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Constellium is a global leader in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad range ofhigh value-added specialty

rolled and extruded aluminum products to the aerospace, space, defense, packaging, automotive, commercial transportation and

general industrial end-markets. As of December 31, 2025, the Group has 24 manufacturing facilities,3 R&D centers and 3

administrative centers. The Group has approximately 11,500 employees.

Constellium SE, a French Societas Europaea, 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

The Consolidated Financial Statements of Constellium SE and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the

United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of U.S. dollar, except as otherwise stated. Certain

reclassifications may have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

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.

Principles of consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses and cash flows of

Constellium SE and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Equity investments in which the Group exercises significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the

equity method.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are based upon the product lines, markets and industries served and are reported in a manner

consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Chief Executive Officer, who is

responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the chief

operating decision-maker.

The Company operates inthree reportable segments: Aerospace & Transportation (“A&T”), Packaging & Automotive

Rolled Products (“P&ARP”), and Automotive Structures & Industry (“AS&I”). The segments are managed separately because

they offer different products and services. Refer to Note 3 - Segment information for further information.

The accounting principles used to prepare the Group’s operating segment information are the same as those used to

prepare the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign currency transactions and foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of operations, whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, are translated to U.S.

dollar at the period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

Differences arising from this translation are included in the currency translation adjustment component of accumulated other

comprehensive loss and non-controlling interests, both of which are on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If there is a completed

sale or liquidation of our ownership in a foreign operation, the relevant currency translation adjustment is recognized in our

For all operations, the monetary items denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured at

period-end exchange rates, and transaction gains and losses are included in other gains and losses - net, net in our consolidated

statements of operations. Non-monetary items are remeasured at historical rates.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in accordance with the provisions of a customer

order or contract. This is achieved when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, which is generally

determined when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the

product. The shipping terms vary across all businesses and depend on the product, the country of origin, and the type of

transportation. Accordingly, the sale of Constellium’s products to its customers represent single performance obligations for

which revenue is recognized at a point in time. In certain limited circumstances, the Group may be required to recognize

revenue over time for products that have no alternative use and for which the Group has an enforceable right to payment for

production completed to date. Revenue is based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for its

products. Returns and other adjustments have not been material. Based on the foregoing, no significant judgment is required to

determine when control of a product has been transferred to a customer.

The Group considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the related products. As a

result, customer payments of shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of revenue.

The Group applies the practical expedient for disclosures on performance obligations that are part of contracts that have

an original duration of one year or less.

The Group elected the practical expedient on significant financing components when the period of transfer of the product

and the payment is one year or less.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Other gains and losses - net

Other gains and losses – net includes: (i) realized and unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives and foreign

exchange derivatives contracted for commercial purposes to which hedge accounting is not applied, (ii) unrealized exchange

gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, (iii) the ineffective portion of changes in the fair

value of derivatives designated for hedge accounting, (iv) impairment charges on assets, (v) non-operating expenses on

factoring arrangements and (vi) non-operating expenses on pension and other post-employment benefits.

Other gains and losses – net also includes other unusual, infrequent or non-recurring items. Such items are disclosed by

virtue of their size, nature or incidence. In determining whether an event or transaction is unusual, infrequent or non-recurring,

management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.

Interest income and expense

Interest expense on short and long-term financing is recorded at the relevant rates on the various borrowing agreements

using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs, including interest, incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period

of time required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash in bank accounts, on hand, short-term deposits held on call with banks

and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into

known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trade account receivables

Trade account receivables are recognized at amortized cost. The Group applies the current expected credit loss model,

where a lifetime expected credit loss is recorded upon initial recognition. Write-downs are recorded to profit and loss when the

Group deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible. Reversals of such losses are not permitted.

Factoring arrangements

In factoring arrangements under which the Group has surrendered all control over the receivables, the receivables are

derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Group determines whether the following conditions are met for

derecognition: (i) the transferred receivables have been isolated from the Group (including creditors in the event of bankruptcy),

(ii) the Group has no continuing involvement with the transferred receivables (iii) the Group does not maintain effective control

over the transferred receivables. If these three conditions are met, the transferred receivables qualify as a sale of financial assets

and are derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Arrangements in which the Group derecognizes receivables result

in changes in trade receivables, which are reflected as cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of

Cash Flows. When trade account receivables are sold with limited recourse and do not meet the conditions for derecognition,

receivables are not derecognized. Where the Group does not derecognize the receivables, the cash received from the factor is

classified as a financing cash inflow, the settlement of the receivables as an operating cash inflow and the repayment to the

factor as a financing cash outflow on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

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 Group has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than our

right to the deferred purchase price and immaterial collection and administrative service fees. The deferred purchase price

receivable is recorded at fair value within Fair value of derivatives instruments and other financial assets in the Consolidated

Balance Sheets. The fair values of these deferred purchase price receivables approximate their carrying values, as a result of

their liquidity or short maturity.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, primarily on a weighted-average cost basis.

Weighted-average cost for raw materials, stores, work in progress and finished goods is calculated using the costs

experienced in the current period based on normal operating capacity and includes the purchase price of materials, freight,

duties and customs, and the costs of production, which includes labor, materials and other costs that are directly attributable to

the production process and production overheads.

Derivatives and hedging

Derivatives

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward

commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively.

Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is

negative.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-

measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting

treatment. For derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are recognized

immediately in profit or loss and are included in Other gains and losses – net or Finance costs – net depending on the nature of

the underlying exposure. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are recognized in Other

Comprehensive Income (“OCI”).

Hedge accounting

For derivative instruments that are designated for hedge accounting, the Group documents at the inception of the hedging

transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as the risk management objective and the

strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an

ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly

effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is

recognized in OCI and accumulated in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in

the Consolidated Income Statements in Other gains and losses – net.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statements when the hedged item affects the

Consolidated Income Statements. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of derivative instruments hedging forecasted

cash flows under customer agreements is recognized in Revenue. When the forecasted transaction that is hedged results in the

recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are reclassified from equity and included

in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts would ultimately be recognized in the Consolidated

Income Statements upon the sale, depreciation or impairment of the asset.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge

accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted

transaction is ultimately recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements. When a forecasted transaction is no longer

expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in equity is immediately reclassified to the Consolidated

Income Statements.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants at the measurement date. The Group applies the fair value hierarchy established by GAAP for the

recognition and measurementof certain financial assets and liabilities.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment acquired by the Company are recorded at cost. Borrowing costs, including interest,

directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are included in the cost. Subsequent to

the initial recognition, Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if

any. Costs are capitalized into construction work-in-progress until projects are completed and the assets are available for use.

Upon sale or disposition, the resulting gain or loss are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements in Other gains

and losses – net.

Depreciation

Land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related

assets using the straight-line method as follows:

Buildings:10 –50 years;

Machinery and equipment:3 –40 years;

Vehicles:5 –8 years.

Intangible assets

Technology and customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition

date. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment

losses. The useful lives of the Group intangible assets are assessed to be finite.

Amortization

Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method as

follows:

Technology:20 years;

Customer relationships:25 years;

Software:3 –5 years.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from a business combination is carried at cost as established at the date of the business combination less

accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Goodwill is allocated at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or as a component, one level

below an operating segment. Components need to be aggregated when they have similar characteristics for allocating goodwill.

Gains and losses on the disposal of a reporting unit include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the reporting unit

sold.

Impairment

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment if there is any

indication that the carrying amount of the asset, or asset group to which it belongs, may not be recoverable.

The Group regularly assesses whether events and circumstances with the potential to trigger impairment have occurred

and relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash

flow, to make such assessments.

The Group uses an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the estimated

remaining life of such asset or asset group in measuring whether the asset or asset group is recoverable. When the asset or asset

group is unrecoverable, the Group uses an estimate of discounted cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the

remaining life of such asset or asset group for computing the impairment loss. Any impairment loss is recognized in Other gains

and losses – net in the Consolidated Income Statements and cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

Impairment of goodwill

Reporting units to which goodwill is allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, as of October 1 st of each fiscal

year, or more frequently when there is an indication that allocated goodwill may be impaired. A qualitative assessment can be

performed before performing a quantitative impairment test.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value,

limited to the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Any impairment loss is recognized in Other gains and losses – net in the Consolidated Income Statements. An

impairment loss recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent years.

Reporting units

The reporting units generally correspond to industrial sites.

Taxation

Income tax (expense) / benefit is calculated on the basis of enacted tax laws at the Consolidated Balance Sheets date in

the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

The Group is subject to income taxes in France, the United States, Germany and numerous other jurisdictions. Certain of

Constellium’s businesses may be included in consolidated tax returns within the Group. In certain circumstances, these

businesses may be jointly and severally liable with the entity filing the consolidated tax return, for additional taxes that may be

assessed.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to

temporary differences between the Consolidated Financial Statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their

respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets are also recognized for operating loss carryforwards and tax credit

carryforwards.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the

asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized in full and reduced by a valuation

allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

Leases

The Group determines whether a contract contains a lease at inception. The Group leases certain land and buildings, plant

equipment, vehicles, and computer equipment. Leases under which the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership are classified as finance leases. Various buildings and equipment are leased from third parties under finance lease

agreements. Under such finance leases, the asset financed is recognized as a right-of-use asset in the asset category to which

they relate in Property, plant and equipment and the financing is recognized as a lease liability, in Borrowings. Ifa lease does

not meet the finance lease classification criteria in accordance with ASC 842 Leases (“ASC 842”), it is classified as an

operating lease.

Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities with an initial term greater than 12 months are recorded on the balance sheet

at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term calculated at the lease commencement date.

Constellium uses an incremental collateralized borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement

date in determining the present value of future payments, as most of the Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate. The

right-of-use assets also include any lease prepayments made and are reduced by lease incentives and accrued exit costs. For

operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest expense on

the lease liability and amortization expense on the right-of-use asset are recognized separately.

Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew; the exercise of lease renewal options is at Constellium’s

discretion. The Group includes renewal option periods in the lease term when it is determined that the options are reasonably

certain to be exercised. Certain of Constellium’s real estate lease agreements include rental payments that either have fixed

contractual increases over time or adjust periodically for inflation. Also, certain of the Group’s lease agreements include

variable lease payments. The variable portion of payments is not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or

lease liability due to the uncertainty of the payment amount and is recorded as lease cost in the period incurred.

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from

the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease payments

on short-term leases and low-value asset leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group also applies the practical expedients for lease and non-lease components as a single component for vehicles.

Provisions

Contingent liabilities

Estimated losses are recorded at the best estimate of expenditures required to settle liabilities of uncertain timing or

amount when management determines that i) it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial

statements and ii) such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimated losses are measured at management’s best estimate out

of the range of possible outcomes. In the absence of management’s best estimate or if each outcome is equally probable, the

loss is measured at the minimum amount in the range.

The ultimate cost to settle such liabilities is uncertain, and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors. The

settlement of these liabilities could materially differ from recorded amounts or the expected timing of expenditure could

change. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to estimated losses, which could result in additional charges or

recoveries.

Close down and restoration costs

Estimated close down and restoration costs are accounted for in the year when the legal obligation arising from the

related disturbance occurs and the amount required to settle the obligation can be reasonably estimated. These costs are based

on the net present value of estimated future costs. Provisions for close down and restoration costs do not include any additional

obligations expected to arise from future disturbance. The costs are estimated on the basis of a closure plan including feasibility

and engineering studies, are updated annually during the life of the operation to reflect known developments (e.g., revisions to

cost estimates and to the estimated lives of operations) and are subject to formal review at regular intervals each year.

The initial closure estimated loss together with subsequent movements in the accrual for close down and restoration

costs, including those resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to the estimated lives of operations and

revisions to discount rates, are capitalized in Property, plant and equipment. These costs are depreciated over the remaining

useful lives of the related assets. The estimated loss is subsequently adjusted for accretion expense, which is recognized in the

Consolidated Income Statements as an operating cost over the useful life of the asset.

Environmental remediation costs

Environmental remediation costs are accounted for based on the Group’s best estimate of the costs of the Group’s

environmental clean-up obligations. Changes in the environmental remediation estimated loss are recorded in Cost of sales

(excluding depreciation and amortization).

Restructuring costs

Estimated losses for restructuring and other exit and disposal activities are recorded in the period incurred within Other

gains and losses – net in the Consolidated Income Statements. Restructuring costs are determined when Constellium’s

management is demonstrably committed to an approved restructuring plan and the liabilities can be reasonably estimated. The

Group recognizes liabilities that primarily include one-time termination benefits, severance, and contract termination costs,

primarily related to equipment and facility lease obligations. These amounts are based on the remaining amounts due under

various contractual agreements and are periodically adjusted for changes in circumstances that would reduce or increase these

obligations. Severance and benefit costs related to restructuring activities are recognized when management with the proper

level of authority has committed to a restructuring plan and communicated those actions to employees.

Legal claims and other costs

Estimated losses for legal claims are made when it is probable that liabilities will be incurred and when such liabilities

can be reasonably estimated. For asserted claims and assessments, liabilities are recorded when an unfavorable outcome of a

matter is deemed to be probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Legal matters are reviewed on a regular basis to determine

if there have been changes in management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the estimate of a

potential loss.

Pension, other post-employment plans and other long-term employee benefits

For defined contribution plans, the contribution paid in respect of service rendered over the service year is recognized in

the Consolidated Income Statements. This expense is included in Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization),

Selling and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses.

For defined benefit plans, the retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the

present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligations are assessed

using the projected unit credit method. The amount recorded in the Consolidated Income Statements in respect of these plans is

included within Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), Selling and administrative expenses and Research and

development expenses for its service cost component and in Finance costs – net and for its net interest cost component. Other

non-operating pension and other post-employment benefit losses or gains are included in Other gains and losses – net. The

effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments are initially recorded in the Consolidated Statement of

Comprehensive Income and subsequently amortized over future periods into the Consolidated Income Statements in Other

gains and losses – net.

Other post-employment benefit plans mainly relate to health and life insurance benefits to retired employees and in some

cases to their beneficiaries and covered dependents. Eligibility for coverage is dependent upon certain age and service criteria.

These benefit plans are unfunded and are accounted for as defined benefit obligations, as described above.

Other long-term employee benefits mainly include jubilees and other long-term disability benefits. For these plans,

actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and corporate officers are measured at the fair value of the equity

instruments at the grant date. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Service and non-

market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the

likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that

will ultimately vest.

The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the

Group’s estimate of equity instruments that are expected to eventually vest based on the service and non-market vesting

conditions, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the

number of equity instruments that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. The impact of

the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Government Grants

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached

conditions are complied with.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment reduce the carrying amount of the asset.

They are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets. Government grants

relating to costs offset the corresponding expense and are deferred and recognized in profit or loss over the period necessary to

match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

Revision of certain disclosures in previously issued financial statements

During the third quarter of 2025, the Group identified and corrected certain immaterial errors affecting metal price lag

and the resulting Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the A&T segment for certain prior periods in 2025 and 2024. The errors

resulted from misclassification of certain items within Cost of sales, which did not impact either the overall Cost of sales or the

Group’s consolidated income statements but did impact the non-cash metal price lag and the resulting Segment Adjusted

EBITDA for the A&T segment. The Group assessed the materiality of these errors on a quantitative and qualitative basis and

concluded that the corrections were not material to any previously issued interim or annual consolidated financial statements.

Accordingly, the affected prior period amounts presented in this filing, or that will be presented in prospective filings, have

been revised. The impact of these revisions is presented below:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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. This accounting standard is effective for

annual disclosures in fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Additional income tax disclosures have been provided in Note 7 as

a result of the adoption of ASU 2023-09.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Not Yet Adopted)

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,

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. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are

currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 -Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic

350-40), which modernizes the accounting framework for internal-use software. The update eliminates the prior model based on

defined development stages and introduces a principles-based approach that focuses on management’s commitment and the

likelihood of project completion. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including

interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our

financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a result of its adoption.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 -Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting

Improvements, which amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to better

reflect an entity’s risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance expands the hedged risks permitted to be

aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions and increases the variable price components eligible to be designated

as the hedged risk in the forecasted purchase or sale of nonfinancial assets. It also modifies hedge accounting for entities

hedging forecasted interest payments. ASU 2025-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026,

including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on

our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a result of its adoption.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 -Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government

Grants Received by Business Entities, which discusses the recognition, measurement and presentation of a government grant

received by a business entity. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, including

interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect a significant impact of the adoption on our

financial position, results of operations and cash flows as a result of its adoption.

The Group plans to adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations on their required effective dates.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Aerospace & Transportation (A&T)

A&Toperating segment offersa wide range of technically advanced aluminum products including plate, sheet and

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.

(B)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, which is a non-cash financial

impact. 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.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and 2023, the total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would

affect the effective income tax rate in future periods based on anticipated settlement dates is$16 million, $12 million and$16

million, respectively. Our tax returns for certain past years are still subject to examination by taxing authorities in the various

countries where we operate.

Our reserves for unrecognized tax benefits, as well as reserves for interest and penalties were:

Our policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax (benefit) provision on our

million, $0 million, and$1 million, respectively.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions that are subject to

examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to French income tax

examinations for years before 2023. In the US, there are currently no Internal Revenue Service audits in progress for the US

entities but are no longer subject to examination for years prior to 2012. We are currently under audit by German and Slovak

authorities for certain fiscal years. In February 2026, we received notification that a tax examination will begin fortwo of our

French entities on fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all

open years.

(A)At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Other deferred income tax assets primarily related to temporary differences arising from provisions

which will become tax-deductible in future periods.

Some deferred tax assets in respect of temporary differences and unused tax losses were recognized without being offset

by deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial

Statements (Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty), a detailed assessment was

performed on net deferred tax asset recovery at December 31, 2025 and 2024, with specific focus on tax jurisdictions with

unused tax losses carried forward. Management considered that the deferred tax assets related to tax losses were not expected to

be recurring and did not challenge the profitable long-term structure of its business model. In addition, tax planning

opportunities are available to increase the taxable profit and the use of the long-term limited and unlimited tax losses.

Management concluded that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax balance of$200 million and$272 million at

December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, would be recoverable.

The following table summarizes changes in valuation allowance:

At January 1,734150
Reduction(14)(1)(19)
Addition233310

Based on the expected taxable income of the entities, the Group believed that it was more likely than not that a total of

$82 million at December 31, 2025, of unused tax losses anddeductible temporary differences, would not be used.

Consequently, a valuation allowance was recognized for the corresponding deferred tax assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the changes in valuation allowance mainly relate to the deferred tax assets of our

operating entities in Slovakia, Germany and Switzerland. Germany and Switzerland continue to have valuation allowance on its

deferred tax assets while Management determined that it was more likely than not that the Slovakia deferred tax assets would

not be used in the foreseeable future. For theyear ended December 31, 2024, the changes in valuation allowance mainly relates

to the deferred tax assets of our operating entities in Germany as Management determined that it was more likely than not that

these deferred tax assets would not be used in the foreseeable future. Other significant changes relate to the deferred tax assets

in Switzerland and Mexico. For theyear ended December 31, 2023, the changes in valuation allowance mainly related to the

deferred tax assets in Switzerland, Mexico and China.

The tax losses carried forward were$259 million at December 31, 2025 and the associated valuation allowance of$49

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the

year. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and ordinary share

equivalents outstanding during the year. 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:

For theyears ended December 31,2025,2024 and 2023, 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.

9.1 Contract assets

Contract assets included$2 million and$9 million of unbilled tooling costs at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

9.2 Factoring arrangements

The Group entered into several accounts receivable factoring programs in Europe and the U.S. with various financial

institutions for certain receivables of the Group. The programs are accounted for as sales of the receivables and had combined

limits of approximately$729 million and$667 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Proceeds on receivables sold under our ongoing factoring programs were$3,684 million,$3,050 million, and

$3,063 million during the fiscal years ended 2025,2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total

amount of receivables derecognized under the Group’s factoring arrangements was$430 million and$374 million, respectively.

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 the years ended December 31,

2025, 2024 and 2023 were$2 million,$8 million and$9 million, respectively. During each of the aforementioned years, there

were non-cash additions to the deferred purchase price receivable of$0 million,$79 million, and$96 million (these additions

are excluded from the Statement of Cash Flow as they are non-cash investing transactions) and cash collections of$2 million,

$85 million and$97 million, respectively. This activity resulted in an ending deferred purchase price receivable balance of

$0 million,$2 million and$8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, recorded in Fair

value of derivatives instruments and other financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group recorded$21 million,$22 million and$24 million of expense related to its factoring programs in 2025,2024

and 2023, respectively, and has presented these amounts in Other gains and losses – net in its Consolidated Income Statements.

Description of credit arrangements

Pan-U.S. ABL Facility

The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility provides Ravenswood, Muscle Shoals, and Bowling Green (the “Borrowers”) a working

capital facility for their respective operations. The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility matures on the earlier of (i) August 22, 2029 and (ii)

90 days prior to the maturity date of any indebtedness (other than loans under the Pan-U.S. ABL Facility) of any Borrower or

any Borrower’s subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding$50 million.

The available commitments thereunder are$550 million and include an accordion feature which if exercised in full,

would allow the Borrowers to increase commitments by$100 million subject to additional lender commitments, borrowing base

availability and certain other conditions. The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility has sublimits of$30 million for letters of credit and

$10 million for swingline loans.

This facility contains a fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant along with customary affirmative and negative

covenants. Evaluation of compliance with the maintenance covenant is only required if the borrowing availability falls below

10% of the aggregate revolving loan commitments.

The borrowers' obligations under this facility are, subject to certain exceptions, secured by substantially all of the assets

of Ravenswood, Muscle Shoals, and Bowling Green and certain assets of the guarantors of this facility.

French Inventory Facility

At December 31, 2025, French subsidiaries Constellium Issoire S.A.S. and Constellium Neuf-Brisach S.A.S. have a

the French Inventory Facility are secured by possessory and non-possessory pledges of the eligible inventory of the borrowers.

The Facility was amended in February 2025 and the maturity was extended to December 2027. The French Inventory Facility

remained undrawn at December 31, 2025.

on quoted prices, were 100.1%,96.5%,98.5% and 103.9%, respectively, of the nominal value and amounted to$325 million,

$483 million,$348 million and$658 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025.

The fair value amounts for all Senior Notes were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 16 for

further information regarding valuation hierarchy).

15.3 Securities against borrowings and covenants

Assets pledged as security

Constellium has pledged certain assets as collateral against certain of its borrowings (See description of credit

arrangements in Note 15.1 above).

Also, lease liabilities are generally secured as the rights to the leased assets recognized in the financial statements revert

to the lessor in the event of default.

Covenants

The Group was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

15.4 Future maturities of debt

Principal repayments requirements for debt over the next five years and thereafter, excluding finance leases which are

16.2 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 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.

There was no material transfer of asset and liability categories into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the years

ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

16.3 Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes

in foreign exchange rates.

Net assets, earnings and cash flows are influenced by multiple currencies due to the geographic diversity of sales and the

countries in which the Group operates.

Constellium has the following foreign exchange risk: (i) transaction exposures, which include commercial transactions

related to forecasted sales and purchases and on-balance sheet receivables/payables resulting from such transactions and

financing transactions related to external and internal net debt, and (ii) translation exposures, which relate to net investments in

foreign entities that are converted in U.S. dollar amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign exchange impacts related to the translation of net investments innon-USD functional currency subsidiaries from

functional currency to U.S. dollar, and of the related revenue and expenses, are not hedged as the Group operates in these

various countries on a permanent basis except as described below.

i. Commercial transaction exposures

The Group policy is to hedge committed and highly probable forecasted foreign currency operational transactions. The

Group uses foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps for this purpose.

The following tables outline the nominal value (converted to millions of U.S. dollars at the closing rate) of forward

derivatives for Constellium’s most significant foreign exchange exposures at December 31, 2025.

The Group has agreed to supply a major customer with fabricated metal products from a euro functional currency entity

and invoices in U.S. dollars. These amounts are then consolidated in the financials in U.S. dollars. The Group has entered into

foreign exchange derivatives that matched related highly probable future conversion sales. The Group designates these

derivatives for hedge accounting, with a total nominal amount of$302 million and$410 million at December 31, 2025 and

December 31, 2024 respectively, with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2029. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are

reported by the Group as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax and reclassified into earnings

when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The table below details the effect of foreign currency derivatives in the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated

Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income:

(C)Changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are included in revenue when the related customer invoices are

issued.

ii. Financing transaction exposures

When the Group enters into intercompany loans and deposits, the financing is generally provided in the functional

currency of the subsidiary. The foreign currency exposure of the Group’s external funding and liquid assets is systematically

hedged either naturally through intercompany foreign currency loans and deposits or through foreign currency derivatives.

At December 31, 2025, the net hedged position related to long-term and short-term loans and deposits in U.S. dollar

included a forward sale of$279 million versus the Euro using simple foreign exchange forward contracts.

(A)Net debt derivatives settled during the year are presented in Other financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Total realized and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency derivatives are expected to partially offset the net

foreign exchange result related to financing activities, both included in Finance costs – net.

16.4 Commodity price risk

The Group is subject to the effects of market fluctuations in the price of aluminum, which is the Group’s primary metal

input and a significant component of its output. The Group is also exposed toprice fluctuationsin regional premiums and in the

price of zinc, natural gas, silver and copper, and other alloying metals, to a lesser extent.

The Group policy is to minimize exposure to aluminum price volatility by passing through the aluminum price risk to

customers and using derivatives where necessary. For most of its aluminum price exposure, sales and purchases of aluminum

are converted to be on the same floating basis and then the same quantities are bought and sold at the same market price.

Temporary increases in inventory, to the extent material, are sold forward to the expected sales date to ensure the price

paid for the metal isrecovered when it is sold.

The Group also enters into derivatives for aluminum regional premium, copper, silver and zinc to offset the commodity

price exposure inherent to certain sales and purchase contracts.

In addition, the Group purchases natural gas fixed price derivatives to lock in energy costs where a fixed price purchase

contract is not possible.

At December 31, 2025, the nominal amount of commodity derivatives is as follows:

(in millions of U.S. dollars)Maturity YearLess than 1 yearOver 1 year
Metal2026-20284304
Natural gas2026-20282425

The value of the contracts will fluctuate due to changes in market prices but our hedging strategy helps protect the

Group’s margin on future conversion and fabrication activities. At December 31, 2025, these contracts were directly entered

into with external counterparties.

The Group does not apply hedge accounting on commodity derivatives and therefore mark-to-market movements are

recognized in Other gains and losses – net.

NOTE 17 - PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

The Group has a number of pension, other post-employment benefits and other long-term employee benefit plans. Some

of these plans are defined contribution plans and some are defined benefit plans, with assets held in separate trustee-

administered funds. Benefits paid through pension trusts are sufficiently funded to ensure the payment of benefits to retirees

when they become due.

Actuarial valuations are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as described in Note 1 - General information

and summary of significant accounting policies.

17.1 Description of defined benefits plans

Pension plans

Constellium’s pension obligations are in the U.S., Switzerland, Germany and France. Pension benefits are generally

based on the employee’s service and highest average eligible compensation before retirement and are periodically adjusted for

cost of living increases, either by company practice, collective agreement or statutory requirement. Benefit plans in the U.S.,

Switzerland and France are funded in accordance with applicable requirements in their respective jurisdictions.

Other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”)

The Group provides healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees and in some cases to their beneficiaries

and covered dependents, mainly in the U.S. Eligibility for coverage depends on certain age and service criteria. These benefit

plans are unfunded.

Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits mainly include jubilees in France, Germany and Switzerland and other long-term

disability benefits in the U.S. These benefit plans are unfunded.

17.2 Actuarial assumptions

Pension and other post-employment benefit obligations were updated based on the discount rates applicable at December

31, 2025.

At December 31,

(A)Expected return rates applicable at beginning of year.

For both pension and healthcare plans, the post-employment mortality assumptions allow for future improvements in life

expectancy.

The other financial assumption used for retirement plans in France and Germany is the rate of increase in pensions which

amountedto 2.00% and 2.50%, respectively.

The other main financial assumptions used for the OPEB healthcare plans, which are predominantly in the United States

were:

Movements in net defined benefit obligations reported in Other Comprehensive Income in the years ended December 31,

2025 and 2024, primarily reflected the impact of changes in discount rates (see note 17.2 Actuarial assumptions), the difference

between actual returns and interest on plan assets and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. The amount of

remeasurements included in Accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in net income in the

following year is$14 million.

17.6 Plan asset categories

Investment policies and strategies

The assets of the Group’s pension plans are managed to meet the future expected benefit liabilities of the plans over the

long term by investing in diversified portfolios. The assets are managed by professional investment firms. The Group’s overall

investment strategy is to achieve target allocations for pension assets of 20% to 29% for equity,42% to 67% for fixed income,

3% to 24% for property, and 3% to 7% for other investments. As a result of the company’s diversified investment policy, there

were no significant concentrations of risk.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects management’s expectations of long-term average rates of

return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The Group’s approach has

emphasized the long-term nature of the return estimate such that the return assumption is not changed significantly unless there

are fundamental changes in capital markets that affect the Group’s expectations for returns over an extended period of time. The

Group’s systematic methodology for determining the long-term rate of return for the company’s investment strategies supports

its long-term expected return assumptions. Expected return rates for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are

presented in Note 17.2 Actuarial assumptions.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 all of the plan assets were measured at fair value using the net asset value (or its

equivalent) except as noted and consisted of the following:

17.7 Cash flows

Expected contributions to pension and OPEB and other long-term benefit plans amount to$28 million and$15 million,

respectively, for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Future benefit payments expected to be paid either by pension funds or directly by the Group to beneficiaries are as

Close down, environmental and remediation costs

The Group records provisions for the estimated present value of the costs of its environmental clean-up obligations and

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 are or can be highly complex

and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed are and can be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and

an estimation of damages are and can be difficult to ascertain.

Concentration of risk

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 50% of U.S. employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements.

These agreements are negotiated on site, regionally or on a national level, and are of different durations.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the collective bargaining agreements at the U.S. sites for Ravenswood and

Muscle Shoals were negotiated and extended to September 2029 and November 2030, respectively.

NOTE 21 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Description of the plans

The Group’s share-based compensation plan is the Constellium SE 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to

time, the “Plan”). The principal purposes of the Plan are to focus its officers and employees on business performance to help

create shareholder value, to encourage innovative approaches to the business of the Group and to encourage ownership of its

ordinary shares by officers and employees. The Plan is also intended to recognize and retain our key employees needed to

sustain and ensure our future and business competitiveness.

The Plan was initially approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in 2013 and provides for a variety of awards,

including Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). The shareholders meeting

of the Company held on May 11, 2021 authorized the free allocation of 6,800,000 shares (existing or to be issued) under the

Plan (this authorization expired on July 10, 2024). The shareholders meeting of the Company held on May 2, 2024, authorized

the free allocation of 6,000,000 shares (existing or to be issued) under the Plan. This shareholders’ authorization is valid until

July 1, 2027.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)

The Company has periodically granted PSUs to selected employees of the Group. These units typically vest after three

years from the grant date if the following conditions are met:

A vesting condition under which the beneficiaries must be continuously employed by or at the service of the Group

through the end of the vesting period; and

A performance condition, contingent on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance of Constellium shares

over the vesting period compared to the TSR of specified indices. PSUs ultimately vest based on a vesting

multiplier which ranges from 0% to 200%.

The PSUs granted in April 2020 achieved a TSR performance of 174%. These PSUs vested in April 2023 and 1,701,233

shares were delivered to beneficiaries.

The PSUs granted in May 2021 achieved a TSR performance of 152%. These PSUs vested in May 2024 and 864,792

shares were delivered to beneficiaries.

The PSUs granted in March 2022 achieved a TSR performance of 60.57%. These PSUs vested in March 2025 and

324,561 shares were delivered to beneficiaries.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 1,744,524 PSUs to selected employees of the Group.

The fair value of PSU awards with performance and service conditions is estimated using the value of Constellium SE’s

ordinary shares on the date of grant. The fair value of PSU awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the

date of grant.

The following table lists the inputs to the valuation model used for the PSUs granted during the year ended December 31,

2025 and 2024 respectively:

2025 PSUs2024 PSUs

Model usedMonte CarloMonte Carlo

(A)Volatilities for the Company and companies included in indices were estimated based on observed historical volatilities over a period

equal to the PSU vesting period.

Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)

The Company has periodically granted RSUs to selected employees of the Group. These units typically vest after three

years from the grant date if the beneficiaries remain continuously employed by or at the service of the Group through the end of

the vesting period.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted 1,327,320 RSUs to selected employees of the Group

subject to the beneficiaries remaining continuously employed by orat the service of the Group from the grant date to the end of

the typical three-year vesting period. The fair value of the RSUs awarded ranged from$11.90 to$15.73, being the quoted

market price at grant date.

Expense recognized during the year

The fair value of the award is determined based on the price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the grant date and the

related share-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. The total share-based

compensation costfor the year ended December 31, 2025,2024 and 2023 amounted to$19 million,$25 million and$22

million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Jean‑Marc Germain, provided notice

of his retirement from that position, effective December 31, 2025, and a transition agreement was proposed to Mr. Germain for

him to serve as special advisor to the Board and management of the Company, effective January 1, 2026, for aone‑year term.

Pursuant and subject to the transition agreement entered into on January 1, 2026, Mr. Germain is (i) entitled to receive certain

cash‑settled and health‑insurance‑related compensation and (ii) as determined by the Board during the fourth quarter of 2025, to

fully vest in his outstanding 2023 equity awards and to vest pro‑rata in his outstanding 2024 and 2025 equity awards on their

originally scheduled vesting dates, with any performance share awards vesting based on actual performance outcomes.

The impact of these modifications on share-based compensation expense was a net reduction of$6 million for the year

ended December 31, 2025, which was recorded in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Income Statements.

During the year ended December 31,2024, the Company granted 545,477 RSUs and 600,268 PSUs with a grant fair

value of$19.82 and$27.14, respectively. During the year ended December 31,2023, the Company granted 701,976 RSUs and

701,945 PSUs with a grant fair value of$16.13 and$22.73, respectively.

Fair values of vested RSUs and PSUs amounted to$24 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and$21 million,

$11 million for the years ended December 31,2024 and 2023, respectively. They are excluded from the Statement of Cash

flows as non-cash financing activities.

As of December 31, 2025, unrecognized compensation expense related to the RSUs was$16 million, which will be

recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years and unrecognized compensation expense related to

the PSUs was$27 million, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.

NOTE 22 - ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

On August 29, 2024, the Group acquired a 51% controlling interest in Railtech Alu-Singen (“RAS”) located in France

and part of AS&I segment, an entity in which Constellium already held a non-controlling interest. The transaction price was a

cash consideration of$3 million. Net of cash & cash equivalent acquired of$6 million, the transaction amounted to a positive

cash-flow of$3 million. As a result of the transaction, goodwill of$5 million was recognized as of September 30, 2024 since

our previous non-controlling interests were revalued resulting in a$3 million gain recognized in other gains and losses.
