MATERION CORPORATION REPORTS STRONG FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND IMPROVES FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio – Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) today reported first quarter 2026 financial results and provided an update to the full-year outlook.
Financial Summary
•Net sales were $549.8 million versus $420.3 million in the prior year quarter; value-added sales1 were $261.8 million versus $259.3 million in the prior year quarter
•Net income of $19.4 million, or $0.92 per share, diluted, versus net income of $17.7 million, or $0.85 per share, in the prior year quarter; adjusted earnings of $1.27 per share versus $1.13 in the prior year quarter
•Operating profit of $28.2 million versus operating profit of $27.2 million in the prior year quarter; adjusted EBITDA2 of $52.9 million or 20.2% of value-add sales versus $48.7 million or 18.8% in the prior year quarter, representing 140 basis point margin expansion
Business Highlights
•Value-added sales grew 10% year on year, excluding precision clad strip
•Electronic Materials delivered 18% value-added sales growth with record adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA margin
•Precision Optics transformation delivered its strongest top line since 2021 and the 5th consecutive quarter of bottom-line improvement
•Exiting the quarter with record backlog, up more than 20% year on year and up 15% since the beginning of the year
“I am very pleased with the strong start to the year, as our teams delivered double-digit growth across most of our end markets and improved operational performance throughout the company. Electronic Materials achieved its strongest results on record, while the Precision Optics transformation took another meaningful step forward, delivering well ahead of expectations,” said Jugal Vijayvargiya, President & CEO of Materion.
“We continue to see unparalleled momentum in our order rates, and we exited the quarter with a record backlog, increasing our confidence in the results we expect to achieve in 2026.”

FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
Net sales for the quarter were $549.8 million, compared to $420.3 million in the prior year period. Value-added sales were $261.8 million for the quarter, up 1% from the prior year period driven by growth across most end markets, partially offset by lower precision clad strip shipments.
Operating profit for the quarter was $28.2 million and net income was $19.4 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared to operating profit of $27.2 million and net income of $17.7 million, or $0.85 per share, in the prior year period.
Excluding special items3, adjusted EBITDA was $52.9 million, a first quarter record of 20.2% of value-added sales, compared to $48.7 million or 18.8% of value-added sales in the prior year period. The adjusted EBITDA margin was driven primarily by higher volume, favorable price/mix and strong operational performance in Electronic Materials and Precision Optics.
Adjusted net income was $26.7 million excluding acquisition amortization, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared to $1.13 per share in the prior year period.
OUTLOOK
Supported by the momentum in our order book and an all-time high backlog as we exited the first quarter, our confidence in delivering strong results has meaningfully strengthened. We now expect top‑line growth in the low double‑digit range. We are reaffirming our full‑year adjusted earnings per share guidance of $6.00 to $6.50, with increasing conviction in achieving results toward the high end of the range.
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 8 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.Merger, acquisition and divestiture related costs – Includes due diligence costs associated with potential merger, acquisition and divestitures as well as loss on asset disposals.
3.Product quality issue - Represents costs incurred related to a previously identified quality issue in the fourth quarter of 2025 identified by a large precision clad strip customer which led to temporarily idling production facilities within the Performance Materials segment.
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.
