The Company reported record second quarter 2025 revenue of $2.05 billion, up 9% year over year, driven by growth in the commercial aerospace market of 8%, growth in the defense aerospace market of 21%, and growth in the industrial and other market of 17%, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market of 4%.   Howmet Aerospace reported Net Income of $407 million, or $1.00 per share, in the second quarter 2025 versus $266 million, or $0.65 per share, in the second quarter 2024, and included approximately $36 million in net benefits from special items. Net Income excluding special items was $371 million, or $0.91 per share, in the second quarter 2025, versus $276 million, or $0.67 per share, in the second quarter 2024.   Second quarter 2025 Operating Income was $521 million, up 31% year over year. Operating Income excluding special items was $520 million, up 26% year over year. Operating Income Margin was 25.4%, up approximately 420 basis points year over year. Second quarter 2025 Adjusted Operating Income Margin excluding special items was 25.3%, up approximately 330 basis points year over year.   Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA excluding special items was $589 million, up 22% year over year. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, and industrial and other markets, partially offset by declines in the commercial transportation market. Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding special items was up approximately 300 basis points year over year at 28.7%.   Howmet Aerospace Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Plant said, “The Howmet team delivered another strong set of results in the second quarter 2025, exceeding the high end of guidance on all metrics. Howmet achieved a quarterly record in revenue, surpassing the $2 billion mark, and also drove quarterly records in Adjusted EBITDA * and Adjusted Earnings Per Share*. Adjusted EBITDA Margin* was solid at 28.7%, up 300 basis points year over year, while Free Cash Flow was a second-quarter record at $344 million and marked the ninth consecutive quarter of positive Free Cash Flow generation.”   Mr. Plant continued, “Howmet continues to invest in growth backed by customer contracts, with capital expenditures up approximately 60% year over year in the first half 2025. Strong cash generation supported continued return of cash to shareholders with $175 million of share repurchases in the second quarter 2025 and an additional $100 million in July, bringing year-to-date repurchases to $400 million. Furthermore, the Board of Directors declared a 20% increase in the common stock dividend to $0.12 per share in the third quarter 2025. The Company also paid down $76 million of debt in the quarter, further improving the balance sheet, which has never been stronger.”       * Excluding special items 2     “Turning to the outlook, the commercial aerospace market should continue to grow, driven by healthy passenger traffic, extraordinarily high OEM backlogs and the desire for new, fuel-efficient aircraft. We acknowledge positive signs for narrow body build rate increases, particularly on the Boeing 737MAX. Demand for engine spares also remains robust across all markets. The defense aerospace market continues to show strength that should carry through 2025. Additionally, demand for industrial gas turbines fueled by significant data center expansion should remain strong for the balance of the year. The commercial transportation market remains weak. Taking these factors into account, the overall picture appears healthy, and we are increasing our full year 2025 guidance on all metrics.”     Second Quarter 2025 Segment Performance   Engine Products 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 2Q25 (in U.S. dollar millions)           Third-party sales $ 933 $ 945 $ 972 $ 996 $1,056 Inter-segment sales $ 1 $ 3 $ 1 $ 2 $ 2 Provision for depreciation and amortization $ 33 $ 34 $ 39 $ 34 $ 35 Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 292 $ 307 $ 302 $ 325 $ 349 Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin 31.3% 32.5% 31.1% 32.6% 33.0% Restructuring and other (credits) charges $ (1) $ 1 $ 1 $ — $ — Capital expenditures $ 33 $ 55 $ 76 $ 86 $ 75   Engine Products reported second quarter 2025 revenue of $1.1 billion, an increase of 13% year over year, due to growth in the commercial aerospace, defense aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and oil and gas markets, including engines spares growth.

In addition, there is inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, including, but not limited to, price/mix and volume. Howmet Aerospace believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.     Howmet Aerospace will hold its quarterly conference call at 11:00 AM Eastern Time on Thursday, July 31, 2025.

(3) As average shares outstanding are used in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share, the full impact of share repurchases is not fully realized in earnings per share ("EPS") in the period of repurchase since share repurchases may occur at varying points during a period.   8     Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries Consolidated Balance Sheet (unaudited) (in U.S. dollar

non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Howmet’s definition of Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is net margin plus an add-back for depreciation and amortization. Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Special items, including Restructuring and other charges (credits), are excluded from net margin and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Differences between the total segment and consolidated totals are in Corporate.     (1) Pre-tax special items included in Corporate expense   1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 2024 1Q25 2Q25 Plant fire reimbursements, net $ — $ (6) $ — $ (12) $ (18) $ — $ — Costs (benefits) associated with closures, supply chain disruptions, and other items 1 — (1) 1 1 1 (1) Total Pre-tax special items included in Corporate expense $ 1 $ (6) $ (1) $ (11) $ (17) $ 1 $ (1)   12     Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries Calculation of Financial Measures (unaudited), continued (in U.S. dollars millions)   Reconciliation of Free cash flow   Quarter ended     Six months ended       1Q25     2Q25     2Q25   Cash provided from operations   $ 253     $ 446     $ 699   Capital expenditures     (119 )     (102 )     (221 ) Free cash flow   $ 134     $ 344     $ 478     The Accounts Receivable Securitization program remains unchanged at $250 outstanding.   Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures (due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations). It is important to note that Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.   13     Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries Calculation of Financial Measures (unaudited), continued (in U.S. dollar millions, except per-share and share amounts)   Reconciliation of Net income excluding Special items   Quarter ended       2Q24     1Q25     2Q25   Net income   $ 266     $ 344     $ 407                             Diluted earnings per share ("EPS")   $ 0.65     $ 0.84     $ 1.00                             Average number of diluted shares     411       407       406                             Special items:                         Restructuring and other charges (credits) (1)     22       (4 )     —   Plant fire reimbursements, net     (6 )     —       —   Costs (benefits) associated with closures, supply chain disruptions, and other items     —       1       (1 ) Subtotal: Pre-tax special items     16       (3 )     (1 ) Tax impact of Pre-tax special items (2)     —       1       —   Subtotal     16       (2 )     (1 )                           Discrete and other tax special items (3)     (6 )     9       (35 ) Total: After-tax special items     10       7       (36 ) Net income excluding Special items   $ 276     $ 351     $ 371                             Diluted EPS excluding Special items   $ 0.67     $ 0.86     $ 0.91     Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items are non-GAAP financial measures.

There can be no assurances that additional Special items will not occur in future periods. To compensate for this limitation, management believes that it is appropriate to consider both Net income and Diluted EPS determined under GAAP as well as Net income excluding Special items and Diluted EPS excluding Special items.   (1) 2Q24 includes non-cash Special items of a loss on sale of a small manufacturing facility in Engineered Structures $14 and other exit costs, including accelerated depreciation $1.   (2) The Tax impact of Pre-tax special items is based on the applicable statutory rates whereby the difference between such rates and the Company’s consolidated estimated annual effective tax rate is itself a Special item.   (3) Discrete tax items for each period included the following:   • for 2Q24, an excess benefit for stock compensation ($5);   • for 1Q25, a net charge related to the expiration of a tax holiday in China $6, a charge for a tax reserve established in Germany $2, and a net charge for other small items $1; and   • for 2Q25, benefits related to U.S. accounting method changes for certain prior period transaction and other costs ($17), an excess benefit for stock compensation ($13), and a net benefit related to U.S. federal and state research and development (“R&D”) credits claimed for prior years ($5).   14   Howmet Aerospace Inc. and subsidiaries Calculation of Financial Measures (unaudited), continued (in U.S. dollar millions)   Reconciliation of Operational tax rate   2Q25     Six months ended 2Q25       Effective tax rate, as reported     Special items (1)(2)     Operational tax rate, as adjusted     Effective tax rate, as reported     Special items (1)(2)     Operational tax rate, as adjusted   Income before income taxes   $ 469     $ (1 )   $ 468     $ 915     $ (4 )   $ 911   Provision for income taxes   $ 62     $ 35     $ 97     $ 164     $ 25     $ 189   Tax rate     13.2 %             20.7 %     17.9 %             20.7 %   Operational tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure.
