On an adjusted basis(2), the second-quarter 2026 net income was $11.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $29.0 million. This compares with the sequential first-quarter 2026 net sales of $308.3 million and net income of $5.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the first-quarter 2026 net income was $7.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $24.6 million. In the same quarter last year, the company had net sales of $304.6 million and net income of $3.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis(2), the second-quarter 2025 net income was $8.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA was $26.5 million. “We delivered a strong second quarter, highlighted by increased shipments, improved pricing and product mix and higher profitability both sequentially and compared with the prior year. Demand remains healthy across our key end markets, supported by a robust order book that provides strong visibility for the second half of 2026. We successfully completed the commissioning of our new bloom reheat furnace and the roller furnace remains on schedule. These investments represent important milestones in our commitment to growing our presence in the aerospace & defense market while continuing to support our long-standing automotive, industrial, energy and distribution customers. The recent investments enhance our manufacturing capabilities, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen our ability to meet increasing customer demand," said Mike Williams, chief executive officer. "As we enter the second half of 2026, we have a healthy order book, favorable product mix, continued pricing momentum and a daily focus on operational execution. As a result, we expect that profitability will continue to improve compared to the same periods last year and cash flow generation will be positive." SECOND-QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL SUMMARY • Net sales increased 11 percent to $341.0 million, compared with $308.3 million in the first quarter of 2026. Compared with the prior-year second quarter, net sales increased 12 percent. The increases in both comparable periods were driven primarily by higher shipments across the majority of
Page 2
2 end-markets, increased raw material surcharge revenue per ton, higher average base sales(2) prices and improved product mix. • Ship tons increased 10,400 tons sequentially, or 6 percent, to 174,200 tons driven primarily by higher shipments across the majority of end-markets. Compared with the prior-year second quarter, shipments increased 4 percent, driven by higher shipments in automotive and aerospace & defense end-markets. • Melt utilization improved to 74 percent in the second quarter, up from 72 percent in the first quarter and 71 percent in the same quarter last year. Manufacturing cost performance declined sequentially, due to lower than expected fixed-cost absorption, as melt utilization improved but fell short of plan, along with higher maintenance costs to address downstream asset reliability. CASH, LIQUIDITY AND REPURCHASE ACTIVITY As of June 30, 2026, the company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $108.6 million. In the second quarter, operating cash flow totaled $12.8 million, driven by profitability and lower inventory, partially offset by lower accounts payable due to the timing of raw material purchases and required pension contributions. Capital expenditures totaled $15.2 million in the second quarter, including $9.5 million for projects primarily funded by the U.S. government. Total liquidity(1) was $394.8 million as of June 30, 2026. On June 30, 2026, the company refinanced its asset-based revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility") and extended the maturity date to June 2031. Following the amendment, Credit Facility available capacity was $300.0 million with improvement in a variety of financial terms and covenants, including reduced annual fees. The Credit Facility remains undrawn at this time. Additionally, during the second quarter, the company repurchased 0.2 million common shares at an aggregate cost of $3.6 million. As of June 30, 2026, the company had $81.8 million remaining under its authorized share repurchase program. During the second quarter, the company received the final $11.3 million from the U.S. Army as part of the previously announced $99.75 million capacity expansion funding agreement in support of the U.S. Army's mission of ramping up munitions production. Through the end of June, the company had received $102.8 million of government funding, consisting of $99.75 million from the U.S. Army and $3.0 million from JobsOhio as part of the previously announced grant. OUTLOOK Given the elements outlined in the outlook below, the company expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be slightly higher than the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025. Commercial: • Third-quarter shipments are expected to be similar to second-quarter shipments based on the customer mix and lead time expectations.
Page 3
3 • Lead times for bar and tube products currently extend into late fourth quarter. • Based on lead times and product mix, third quarter price and mix are expected to be slightly better than the second quarter. • The company recently announced price increases effective early August for customers not covered by annual pricing agreements of $60 per ton on bar, $100 per ton on carbon seamless mechanical tubing, and $160 per ton on alloy seamless mechanical tubing products. Based on lead times, the company expects to realize the full run rate benefit of these price increases beginning in 2027. Operations: • The company anticipates a slight increase in its third quarter average melt utilization rate, supported by strength in the order book. • Manufacturing costs are expected to be relatively flat sequentially as a result of slightly higher melt utilization offset by increased planned maintenance outages. Other matters: • Planned capital expenditures remain at approximately $70 million in 2026, inclusive of $35 million of capital expenditures partially funded by the U.S. government. • The company does not expect to make any additional pension contributions during the remainder of 2026. • An adjusted effective income tax rate(3) between 27 and 30 percent is expected for the full year 2026. (1) The company defines total liquidity as available borrowing capacity plus cash and cash equivalents. (2) Please see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures in this news release. (3) The company defines the adjusted effective income tax rate as adjusted income tax expense (benefit) divided by adjusted pre-tax (loss) income.

18 Reconciliation of Base Sales by end-market to GAAP Net Sales by end-market: The tables below present net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges, which represents a financial measure that has not been determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes presenting net sales by end-market, both on a gross basis and on a per ton basis, adjusted to exclude raw material and energy surcharges, provides additional insight into key drivers of net sales such as base price and product mix. Due to the fact that the surcharge mechanism can introduce volatility to our net sales, net sales adjusted to exclude surcharges provides management and investors clarity of our core pricing and results. Presenting net sales by end-market, adjusted to exclude surcharges including on a per ton basis, allows management and investors to better analyze key market indicators and trends and allows for enhanced comparison between our end-markets. When surcharges are included in a customer agreement and are applicable (i.e., reach the threshold amount), based on the terms outlined in the respective agreement, surcharges are then included as separate line items on a customer’s invoice. These additional surcharge line items adjust base prices to match cost fluctuations due to market conditions. Each month, the company will post on the surcharges page of its external website, as well as our customer portal, the scrap, alloy, and energy surcharges that will be applied (as a separate line item) to invoices dated in the following month (based upon shipment volumes in the following month). All surcharges invoiced are included in GAAP net sales.
