Metallus Q2 Sales Beat on Shipment Growth, Guides Q3 EBITDA Higher
MTUS sits 44% above its 52-week low of $14.19.
Summary
Metallus posted Q2 sales of $341M, beating the $330M consensus, driven by higher shipments across automotive and aerospace end-markets. Adjusted EBITDA rose 9% year-over-year, though manufacturing costs were a drag sequentially. The company guided Q3 adjusted EBITDA slightly above Q2 levels and the prior-year quarter, with shipments steady and pricing modestly better. Capex is held at $70M for the year, and $3.6M in buybacks were executed in Q2. This follows a strong Q1 and a $300M credit facility amendment in July, reinforcing a solid balance sheet. The beat and upbeat guidance signal demand resilience in key industrial markets.
