MATERION CORPORATION REPORTS
SECOND-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio – Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported second-quarter 2025 financial results and affirmed full year outlook.

Financial Summary
Net sales were $431.7 million; value-added sales1 were $269.0 million
Net income of $25.1 million, or $1.21 per share, diluted, versus net income of $19.0 million, or $0.91 per share, in the prior year quarter; adjusted earnings of $1.37 per share versus $1.42 in the prior year quarter
Operating profit of $36.8 million versus operating profit of $32.1 million in the prior year quarter; adjusted EBITDA2 of $55.8 million, versus $57.8 million in the prior year quarter

Business Highlights
Delivered second-quarter record adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8%
Generated ~$36 million free cash flow3 in the quarter
Repurchased 100,000 shares during the quarter at an average of ~$78/share
Completed acquisition to expand semiconductor footprint and capabilities in Asia

“Our business performed very well in the quarter, delivering record margins and strong cash flow, despite the anticipated slowdown in demand from our customers in China,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President & CEO of Materion. “These results are a testament to the outstanding work our teams have done to improve the cost profile and operational performance of our company.”

“Looking ahead, we are encouraged by positive signs we are seeing in several of our end markets. As order rates start to improve and we continue to win new business, we feel confident in affirming our full year guide, despite continued uncertainty surrounding the tariff environment.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Net sales for the quarter were $431.7 million, compared to $425.9 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $269.0 million for the quarter, down 2% organic4 from the prior year period due to lower PMI shipments and sales into China. This decrease was partially offset by strength in aerospace & defense, energy and non-China semiconductor.
Operating profit for the quarter was $36.8 million and net income was $25.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $32.1 million and net income of $19.0 million, or $0.91 per share, in the prior year period.
Excluding special items5, adjusted EBITDA was $55.8 million, or 20.8% of value-added sales, a second-quarter record, compared to $57.8 million or 20.7% of value-added sales in the prior year period. This decrease was driven by lower volume, partially offset by continued strong operational performance and structural cost improvements.
Adjusted net income was $28.5 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.37 per diluted share, compared to $1.42 per share in the prior year period.

OUTLOOK
The business performed well in the first half of the year, driving strong results in a volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment. As we look to the second half, we remain focused on delivering to our customers, driving above market growth and capturing new business opportunities in several key end markets. With improving market dynamics, we expect to deliver a strong second half. With that, we are affirming our initial guide of $5.30 to $5.70 adjusted earnings per share for the full year.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS GUIDANCE
It is not possible for the Company to identify the amount or significance of future adjustments associated with potential insurance and litigation claims, legacy environmental costs, acquisition and integration costs, certain income tax items, or other non-routine costs that the Company adjusts in the presentation of adjusted earnings guidance. These items are dependent on future events that are not reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile without unreasonable effort the forecasted range of adjusted earnings guidance for the full year to a comparable GAAP range. However, items excluded from the Company's adjusted earnings guidance include the historical adjustments noted in Attachments 4 through 9 to this press release.

The cost of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and osmium is passed through to customers and, therefore, the trends and comparisons of net sales are affected by movements in the market price of these metals. Internally, management also reviews net sales on a value-added basis. Value-added sales is a non-GAAP financial measure that deducts the value of the pass-through metals sold from net sales. Value-added sales allows management to assess the impact of differences in net sales between periods or segments and analyze the resulting margins and profitability without the distortion of the movements in pass-through market metal prices. The dollar amount of gross margin and operating profit is not affected by the value-added sales calculation. The Company sells other metals and materials that are not considered direct pass throughs, and these costs are not deducted from net sales to calculate value-added sales.

The Company’s pricing policy is to pass the cost of these metals on to customers in order to mitigate the impact of price volatility on the Company’s results from operations. Value-added information is being presented since changes in metal prices may not directly impact profitability. It is the Company’s intent to allow users of the financial statements to review sales with and without the impact of the pass-through metals.

In addition to presenting financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release contains financial measures, including operating profit, segment operating profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), net income, and earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis. As detailed in the above reconciliation and Attachment 6, we have adjusted the results for certain special items, including the following:
1.Restructuring and cost reduction – Costs include restructuring charges, costs associated with temporarily idled facilities as a result of decreased demand and costs associated with disposal of assets associated with obsolete products.
2.Additional start up resources and scrap – Represents incremental resource, consulting and specialists costs incurred related to the ramp of the precision clad strip facility and scrap related to product qualifications.
3.Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs – Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures as well as loss on asset disposals.
4.Business transformation costs – Represents project management and implementation expenses related to the Company's automation and transformation initiatives.

Internally, management reviews the results of operations without the impact of these costs in order to assess the profitability from ongoing activities. We are providing this information because we believe it will assist investors in analyzing our financial results and, when viewed in conjunction with the GAAP results, provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations.
