Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Jason. Good morning, good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for your interest in Constellium. I wanted to start by saying we are very pleased with our performance. We delivered record third quarter adjusted EBITDA following record performance in the first half of the year. Our strong execution and results this year have demonstrated our disciplined operational focus and cost control and our agility to take full advantage of favorable market conditions as they arise. Looking at safety, our number one priority. Our recordable case rate in the third quarter was 2.1 per million hours worked. While this was up from last quarter, our year-to-date recordable case rate is 1.65 per million hours worked versus 1.91 in 2025. Despite this strong achievement, our safety journey is never complete and we remain focused on this critical priority every day. During the third quarter, we benefited from favorable market dynamics including Aerospace and TID, Automotive in North America, and CanSheet in North America and Europe. We also achieved improved price and mix in the quarter, and strong recycling performance in both North America and Europe. Our recycling center in Neuve-Bressac continues to ramp up. I'm also pleased to say that our third airware cast house in Issois started up on budget, and customer qualifications are well underway. Given our record performance in the first nine months this year and our current outlook for the remainder of the year, we are raising our outlook for the fall year once again. As we said previously, 2026 is a record year for the company, both in terms of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Before turning the call over to Jack, I wanted to make a few comments regarding the expected impact from the conflict in the Middle East In terms of metal supply, we do source some metal from the Middle East today, both slabs and billets, but they represent a small percentage of our overall needs. As such, we believe the impact on metal supply for us is limited at this stage. On energy, a majority of our anticipated energy needs for 2027 are already locked in at reasonable prices. In other cost categories, we are seeing some inflationary pressures in freight, lubricants and coatings, but we expect the net impact from this to be manageable. We currently do not expect any impacts on our supply chain from the lack of freight capacity. In terms of other indirect impacts from the Middle East conflict, we have not seen much end market disruption at this stage. We continue to monitor it closely. To wrap up on this topic, the overall impact from the conflict in the Middle East appears digestible at this point. The longer-term impacts remain uncertain and difficult to predict, but we are confident in our ability to manage our business in any environment. With that, I will now hand the call over to Jack for further details on our financial performance. Jack?
