Second-quarter net income from continuing operations more than tripled to $6.0 million, or $0.17 per share, fueled by a 56% jump in Aluminum Extrusions EBITDA. The segment capitalized on favorable metal cost pass-through and scrap spreads, though management cautions that the FIFO tailwind should neutralize in Q3. High Performance Films EBITDA slipped 14% as resin cost lags weighed on results.
