Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Constellium is a global leader in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of high value-added specialty
rolled and extruded aluminum products to the aerospace, space, defense, packaging, automotive, commercial transportation and
general industrial end-markets. At March 31, 2026, the Group operated 24 manufacturing facilities,3 R&D centers and 3
administrative centers. The Group has approximately 11,500 employees.
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, 2026, results of operations
and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 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 its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“the
2025 Annual Report”. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that may be achieved for the entire 2026 fiscal year.
Use of estimates and assumptions
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 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to ASC 270 -Interim
Reporting: Narrow-Scope Improvements which create a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required under US GAAP
and incorporate a disclosure principle that requires disclosures at interim periods when an event or change that has a material
effect on an entity has occurred since the previous year end. The guidance does not change the fundamental nature or expand or
reduce the interim disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2027. The guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Group plans to adopt these and new standards, amendments and interpretations, as disclosed in our 2025 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, 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.

(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.

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 ) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Numerator: | ||
| Net income attributable to equity holders of Constellium | 199 | 37 |
| Denominator: | ||
| Basic - weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding | 135,394,675 | 142,495,499 |
| Dilutive effect of non-vested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units | 4,689,980 | 1,594,032 |
| Diluted - weighted-average ordinary shares, of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units | 140,084,655 | 144,089,531 |
| Basic earnings per share | $1.47 | $0.26 |
| Diluted earnings per share | $1.42 | $0.26 |
For thethree months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, 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 selected financial institutions for certain
receivables of the Group. The programs are accounted for as sales of the receivables and had combined limits of approximately
$717 million and$729 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31,2025, respectively.
Proceeds on receivables sold under our ongoing factoring programs were$964 million and$747 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026 and December 31,2025, the total amount of
receivables derecognized under the Group’s factoring arrangements was$430 million and$430 million, respectively.
Starting in fiscal year 2025, the proceeds from the sale of accounts receivables comprised of only cash. Prior to January
1, 2025, the proceeds from the sale of certain of these receivables comprised of a combination of cash and deferred purchase
price receivable. The deferred purchase price receivable was ultimately realized by the Group following the collection by the
financial institutions of the underlying receivables sold. For thethree months ended March 31, 2025, the beginning deferred
purchase price balance was$2 million, of which$2 million were fully collected in cash. This resulted in an ending deferred
purchase price receivable balance of$0 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2025, recorded in Fair value of
derivatives instruments and other financial assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group has recorded$4 million and $5 million of expenses related to its factoring programs in thethree months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These amounts are presented in Other gains and losses – net in its Interim Consolidated
Income Statement.

The fair values of trade receivables, other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values, as a result of
their liquidity or short maturity and the fair value of borrowings are disclosed in Note 11 - Debt.
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.

There was no material transfer of asset and liability categories into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during thethree
months ended March 31, 2026, nor the year ended December 31, 2025.
12.3 Foreign exchange
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. dollars, 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. dollarsat the closing rate) of forward
derivatives for Constellium’s most significant foreign exchange exposures at March 31, 2026.
| Sold currencies | Maturity Year | Less than 1 year | Over 1 year |

The Group has agreed to supply a major customer with fabricated metal products from an entity with Euro functional
currency, while invoicing in U.S. dollars. The Group has entered into significant foreign exchange derivatives that matched
related highly probable future conversion sales. The Group designates a substantial portion of these derivatives for hedge
accounting, with a total nominal amount of$263 million and$302 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
respectively, with maturities ranging from 2026 to 2031. 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 Interim Consolidated Income Statement, the
Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income:

Statement of Cash Flows.
(B)Gains or losses on the hedging instruments are expected to offset losses or gains on the underlying hedged forecasted sales that will be
reflected in future years when these sales are recognized.
(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 March 31, 2026, the net hedged position related to long-term and short-term loans and deposits in U.S. dollars
included a forward sale of$234 million versus the Euro using simple foreign exchange forward contracts.

unrealized gains or losses on financing activities, both included in Finance costs – net.
12.4 Commodities
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 to fluctuations in aluminum regional premiums and
in the price of zinc, natural gas, silver and copper, and other alloying metals, to a lesser extent.
-19-
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 will be substantially recovered 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 March 31, 2026, the nominal amount of commodity derivatives is as follows:
| (in millions of U.S. dollars) | Maturity Year | Less than 1 year | Over 1 year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal | 2026-2028 | 417 | (1) |
| Natural gas | 2026-2028 | 27 | 27 |
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 March 31, 2026, 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.

Statements of Cash Flows.

| Legal claims and other costs | 14 | 18 | 11 | 21 |
| Total provisions | 30 | 101 | 25 | 106 |
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 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.

NOTE 16 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)
During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 401,662 Performance-Based Restricted Stock
Units ("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 with market
conditions is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.
These units vest if the following conditions are met:
A vesting condition under which the beneficiaries must be continuously at the service of the Company through the
end of athree-year vesting period; and
A performance condition, contingent on thetotal shareholder return (“TSR”)performance of Constellium shares
over the vesting period compared to the TSR of specified indices. PSUs will ultimately vest based on a vesting
multiplier which ranges from 0% to 200%.

The following table lists the inputs to the valuation model used for the PSUs granted during thethree months ended
March 31, 2026:
| 2026 PSUs | |
|---|---|
| Fair value at grant date (in dollars) | 34.38 |
| Share price at grant date (in dollars) | 24.59 |
| Dividend yield | — |
| Expected volatility (A) | 46% |
| Risk-free interest rate (US government bond yield) | 3.75% |
(A)Volatility in the share prices of the Company and companies included in indices were estimated based on observed historical volatilities
over a period equal to the PSU vesting period.

During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 409,752 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to selected
employees of the Group subject to the beneficiaries remaining continuously employed by or at the service of the Group from
the grant date to the end of thethree-year vesting period. The fair value of the RSUs awarded is$24.59, being the quoted
market price at grant date.
