Exhibit 99.1
“The third quarter of fiscal year 2026 represents yet another record setting quarter.” said Tony R. Thene, Chairman and CEO of Carpenter Technology. “Increasing operating income 20 percent sequentially, over what was a record quarter in a market that is accelerating, speaks to our focus on industry leading execution. The profitability improvement was accompanied by meaningful cash generation, reflecting higher earnings, and continued discipline in working capital management.”
“The SAO segment drove the results, delivering $208.0 million of operating income in the quarter and expanding adjusted operating margins to 35.6 percent, both significant increases over the previous quarter. Margin expansion was driven by a combination of continued productivity gains, pricing realization across both long-term and transactional business, and improved product mix. These factors enabled SAO to deliver its strongest quarterly operating performance to date.”
“Looking ahead, demand in our Aerospace and Defense end-use market continues to accelerate as customers gain confidence in higher build rates. As a result, we saw sequential growth in bookings for the commercial aerospace structural sub-market during the quarter. Structural demand is closely tied to new production activity and is a clear indication of growing confidence in the aerospace supply chain. And as customers prioritize security of supply for these critical applications, we continue to advance long-term agreements that support volume visibility and pricing consistency, reinforcing our outlook for sustained growth.”
“With the record third quarter performance and strengthening outlook, we have raised our operating income and adjusted free cash flow expectations for fiscal year 2026. We expect operating income to be in the range of $700 million to $705 million, with adjusted free cash flow to be approximately $350 million.”
“Carpenter Technology just delivered record earnings at a time when the Aerospace and Defense end-use market is at the beginning of the growth cycle. With demand accelerating, we believe Carpenter Technology is well positioned to deliver sustained performance and continue to generate long-term value. We remain focused on supporting our customer needs, operational execution and living our Values as we drive to exceptional near-term and long-term performance.”

Net sales $ 811.5 $ 728.0 $ 727.0
Net sales excluding surcharge (a) $ 655.6 $ 589.1 $ 597.0
Operating income $ 186.5 $ 155.2 $ 137.8
Net income $ 139.6 $ 105.3 $ 95.4

Adjusted free cash flow (a) $ 124.8 $ 85.9 $ 34.0
(a) Non-GAAP financial measures explained in the attached tables
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $811.5 million, compared with $727.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, an increase of $84.5 million (or 12 percent). Net sales excluding surcharge were $655.6 million for the current quarter, an increase of $58.6 million (or 10 percent) from the same period a year ago.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $186.5 million compared to operating income of $137.8 million in the prior year period. Earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $2.77 compared to earnings of $1.88 per diluted share in the prior year third quarter.
Cash provided from operating activities in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $193.5 million, compared to $74.2 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted free cash flow in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $124.8 million, compared to $34.0 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in operating cash flow in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 reflects higher earnings and improvements in working capital. The improvement in adjusted free cash flow reflects higher operating cash flow partially offset by increased capital expenditures compared to the prior year period, namely from the brownfield expansion. Capital expenditures were $68.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $40.2 million in the same quarter last year.
Under the Company's authorized share repurchase program of up to $400.0 million, the Company purchased 145,000 shares of its common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $52.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The Company has two reportable segments, Specialty Alloys Operations (“SAO”) and Performance Engineered Products (“PEP”).
The SAO segment is comprised of Carpenter's major premium alloy and stainless steel manufacturing operations. This includes operations performed at mills primarily in Reading and Latrobe, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas as well as South Carolina and Alabama.
The PEP segment is comprised of the Company’s differentiated operations. This segment includes the Dynamet titanium business, the Carpenter Additive business and the Latrobe and Mexico distribution businesses. The businesses in the PEP segment are managed with an entrepreneurial structure to promote flexibility and agility to quickly respond to market dynamics. It is our belief this model will ultimately drive overall revenue and profit growth. The pounds sold data above for the PEP segment includes only the Dynamet and Additive businesses.
Corporate costs are comprised of executive and director compensation, and other corporate facilities and administrative expenses not allocated to the segments. Also included are items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations and other specifically-identified income or expense items.
The service cost component of net pension expense, which represents the estimated cost of future pension liabilities earned associated with active employees, is included in the operating results of the business segments. The residual net pension expense is included in other expense (income), net, and is comprised of the expected return on plan assets, interest costs on the projected benefit obligations of the plans, amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs.

Management believes that removing the impact of raw material surcharge from operating margin provides a more consistent basis for comparing results of operations from period to period, thereby permitting management to evaluate performance and investors to make decisions based on the ongoing operations of the Company. In addition, management believes that excluding the impact of special items from operating margin is helpful in analyzing the operating performance of the Company, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Management uses its results excluding these amounts to evaluate its operating performance and to discuss its business with investment institutions, the Company’s board of directors and others.

ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW 2026 2025 2026 2025
Net cash provided from operating activities $ 193.5 $ 74.2 $ 364.9 $ 182.3
Purchases of property, plant, equipment and software (68.7) (40.2) (157.6) (96.3)
Proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment — — — 0.1
Adjusted free cash flow $ 124.8 $ 34.0 $ 207.3 $ 86.1
Management believes that the presentation of adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition because it is a measure of cash generated which management evaluates for alternative uses. It is management's current intention to use excess cash to fund investments in capital equipment, acquisition opportunities and consistent dividend payments. Additionally, we will discretionarily use excess cash for a share repurchase program up to $400.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Adjusted free cash flow is not a U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, cash flows calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
