MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis, or MD&A, is based principally on our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 which are included in this quarterly report.
The following discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (see in particular "Special Note about Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors").
Overview
We are a global leader in the development, manufacture and sale of a broad range of highly engineered, value-added specialty rolled and extruded aluminium products to the packaging, aerospace, automotive, other transportation and industrial end-markets. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately 12,000 employees, 25 production facilities, 3 R&D centers and 3 administrative centers.
We serve a diverse set of customers across a broad range of end-markets with different product needs, specifications and requirements. As a result, we have organized our business into three segments to better serve our customer base:
•Our Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products segment produces aluminium sheet and coils, which primarily includes beverage and food canstock, closure stock, foilstock and automotive rolled products.
•Our Aerospace & Transportation segment produces technologically advanced aluminium products, including plate, sheet and other fabricated products with applications across the aerospace, defense, transportation and industrial sectors.
•Our Automotive Structures & Industry segment produces technologically advanced structures for the automotive industry (including crash-management systems, body structures, side impact beams and battery enclosures), soft and hard alloy extrusions and large extruded profiles for automotive, rail, energy, building and industrial applications.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 our segments represented the following percentages of total Revenue and total Adjusted EBITDA:

Management Review and Outlook
Constellium delivered solid results for the first six months ended June 30, 2024, despite a mixed end market demand environment, two large planned maintenance outages taken during the second quarter and significant weather-related impacts in the first quarter at our facility in Muscle Shoals.
Looking at our end markets, aerospace demand remains strong and packaging demand continues to improve. Automotive demand remained stable in the period in North America though demand in Europe continues to weaken. We continued to experience weakness in most industrial and specialties markets with no signs of recovery in the near-term.
3
At the end of the second quarter, our facilities in Sierre and Chippis in Switzerland experienced severe flooding from the Rhône River. All operations at the Sierre and Chippis sites are currently suspended. We have assessed the impact of the flooding on the carrying value of our assets and recognized an impairment charge of €5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. As of the date of this report, cleaning operations are ongoing and we cannot assess the full extent of the damage and financial impact and determine when production will restart. We are working closely with our insurance company and the latest insurance estimates have a gross damage assessment of approximately €135 million. This figure includes estimated damages, cleaning costs, and business interruption expenses. This gross damage assessment is before consideration of our insurance claim of up to €50 million, the impact of mitigation plans which are currently underway, and potential government assistance, of which certain benefits have already been approved. Given the uncertainty around the impact from the severe flooding, including the extent of the damage and the timing to restart production, this natural disaster will have some impact on our results in the near-term, but with mitigation plans which are underway, are not expected to affect the long-term prospects of the business. We continue to remain confident in our end-market positioning and prospects for 2025 and beyond.
Key Factors Influencing Constellium’s Financial Condition and Results from Operations
Geopolitical conflicts
Geopolitical conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, and related sanctions continue to generate volatility and disruption in global and regional economies. Although we do not have operations in any conflict zones, it is difficult to predict the length and impact of these conflicts on global and regional economies. We continuously monitor these events and will develop contingency plans and counter measures as necessary to address adverse effects or disruptions to our operations as they arise.
Economic Conditions and Markets
We are directly impacted by the economic conditions that affect our customers and the markets in which they operate. General economic conditions such as the level of disposable income, the level of inflation, the rate of economic growth, the rate of unemployment, interest rates, exchange rates and currency devaluation or revaluation influence consumer confidence and consumer purchasing power. These factors, in turn, influence the demand for our products in terms of total volumes and prices that can be charged. We attempt to respond to the variability of economic conditions through the terms of our contracts with our customers and cost control.
In addition, although a number of our end-markets are cyclical in nature, we believe that the diversity of our portfolio and the secular growth trends we are experiencing in many of our end-markets will help the Company weather these economic cycles. In each of our three end-markets of packaging, aerospace and automotive:
•Historically, can packaging has not been highly correlated to the general economic cycle. We believe can sheet has an attractive long-term growth outlook due to increased consumer preference for cans as a package and the sustainable attributes of aluminium.
•While aerospace demand had been adversely impacted following the COVID crisis, it has experienced a sharp recovery in the recent periods. We continue to believe the longer term trends including increasing passenger traffic and fleet replacements with newer and more fuel efficient aircraft along with new military and space programs support a positive long-term demand trend.
•The automotive markets were impacted globally by supply chain disruptions in recent years. However, longer-term demand for aluminium has been increasing in recent years triggered by a lightweighting trend for new car models, which increases fuel efficiency, reduces emissions and increases vehicle safety. We expect this to continue and be enhanced by increased demand for electric vehicles.
Aluminium Consumption
The aluminium industry is cyclical and is affected by global economic conditions, industry competition and product development. Aluminium is increasingly seen as the material of choice in a number of applications, including packaging, automotive and aerospace given its lightweight high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and infinite recyclability. Due to these qualities, the penetration of aluminium in a wide variety of applications continues to increase. We believe that long-term growth in aluminium consumption generally, and demand for those products we produce specifically, will be supported by factors globally, that include growing populations, greater purchasing power and increasing focus on sustainability and environmental issues.
4
Aluminium Prices
Raw materials and consumables, where aluminium is the largest component by a wide margin, represented 67% and 70% of our cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Aluminium prices are determined by worldwide forces of supply and demand and are volatile. We operate a pass–through business model and therefore, to the extent possible, avoid taking aluminium price risk. In case of significant sustained increases in the price of aluminium, the demand for our products may be affected over time.
We believe our cash flows are largely protected from variations in LME prices due to the fact that we hedge our sales based on their replacement cost, by matching the price paid for our aluminium purchases with the price received from our aluminium sales, at a given time, using hedges when necessary. As a result, when LME prices increase, we have limited additional cash requirements to finance the increased replacement cost of our inventory.
The price we pay for aluminium includes regional premiums, such as the Rotterdam premium for metal purchased in Europe or the Midwest premium for metal purchased in the U.S. The regional premiums have been volatile in recent years. Like LME prices, we seek to pass-through this regional premium price risk to our customers or to hedge it in the financial markets. However, in certain instances, we are not able to fully pass through or hedge this cost.
The average LME transaction price, Rotterdam Premium and Midwest Premium per ton of primary aluminium in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are presented below.
| For the three months ended June 30, | For the six months ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Average all-in aluminium price U.S. | 2,749 | 2,574 | 2,574 | 2,691 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Product Price and Margin
Our products are typically priced based on three components: (i) the LME price, (ii) a regional premium and (iii) a conversion margin.
Our risk management practices aim to reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, our exposure to changing primary aluminium and regional premium prices. Moreover, while we limit our exposure to unfavorable price changes, we also limit our ability to benefit from favorable price changes. We do not apply hedge accounting for the derivative instruments we entered into in order to hedge our exposure to changes in metal prices and the mark-to-market movements for these instruments are recognized in Other gains and losses—net.
Our results are also impacted by changes in the difference between the prices of primary and scrap aluminium. As we price our products using the prevailing price of primary aluminium but purchase large amounts of scrap aluminium to manufacture our products, we benefit when primary aluminium price increases exceed scrap price increases. Conversely, when scrap price increases exceed primary aluminium price increases, our results are negatively impacted. The difference between the price of primary aluminium and scrap price is referred to as the “scrap spread” and is impacted by the effectiveness of our scrap purchasing activities, the supply of scrap available and movements in the terminal commodity markets.
Volumes
The profitability of our businesses is determined, in part, by the volume of tons processed and sold. Increased production volumes will generally result in lower per unit costs. Higher volumes sold will generally result in additional revenue and associated margins.
5
Personnel Costs
Our operations are labor intensive. Personnel costs include the salaries, wages and benefits of our employees, as well as costs related to temporary labor. During our seasonal peaks and especially during the summer months, we have historically increased our temporary workforce to compensate for staff on vacation and increased volume of activity. Personnel costs generally increase and decrease with the expansion or contraction in production levels of operating facilities. Personnel costs also generally increase in periods of higher inflation.
Energy
Our operations require substantial amounts of energy to run, primarily electricity and natural gas. The direction of energy costs depends on the energy supply demand relationships in the regions we operate in. The current geopolitical instability continues to expose us to the risk of energy supply disruptions. In addition, sustainability trends are expected to put upward pressure on energy costs over time. A significant increase in energy costs or disruption of energy supply could have a material adverse effect on financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Currency
We are a global company with operations in France, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Mexico, Canada and China. As a result, our revenue and earnings have exposure to a number of currencies, primarily the euro, the U.S. dollar and the Swiss franc. As our reporting currency is the euro, and the functional currencies of the businesses located outside of the Eurozone are primarily the U.S. dollar and the Swiss franc, the results of the businesses located outside of the Eurozone must be translated each period to euros. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the functional currencies of our businesses located outside of the Eurozone against the euro have a translation impact on our results of operations.
Transaction impacts arise when our businesses transact in a currency other than their own functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk on payments and receipts in multiple currencies. In Europe, a portion of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars while the majority of our costs incurred are denominated in local currencies. We engage in hedging activities to attempt to mitigate the effects of foreign currency transactions on our profitability. Notably, where we have multiple-year sales agreements in U.S. dollars by euro-functional currency entities, we have entered into derivative contracts to forward sell U.S. dollars to match these future sales. With the exception of certain derivative instruments entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with the cash flows of certain highly probable forecasted sales, which we have designated for hedge accounting, hedge accounting is not applied to such ongoing commercial transactions and therefore the mark-to-market impact is recorded in Other gains and losses —net.

Our revenue is discussed in more detail in the “Segment Results” section.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, cost of sales decreased by 8% to €1,605 million from €1,737 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a decrease in raw materials and consumables used, a decrease in energy costs and a decrease in subcontractors, partially offset by an increase in labor costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of sales decreased by 10% to €3,175 million from €3,532 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a decrease in raw materials and consumables used, a decrease in energy costs and a decrease in subcontractors, partially offset by an increase in labor costs.
7
Selling and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, selling and administrative expenses decreased by 8%, or €6 million to €74 million from €80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease reflected primarily a decrease in labor costs and a decrease in other expenses, partially offset by an increase in professional fees on IT and non-recurring corporate transformation projects.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, selling and administrative expenses decreased by 1%, or €2 million to €149 million from €151 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease reflected primarily a decrease in labor costs and a decrease in other expenses, offset by an increase in professional fees on IT and non-recurring corporate transformation projects.
Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses remained stable at €13 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased to €28 million from €26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase reflected primarily an increase in labor costs.

Realized gains or losses relate to financial derivatives used by the Group to hedge underlying commercial and commodity transactions. Realized gains and losses on these derivatives are recognized in Other Gains and Losses, net and are offset by the commercial and commodity transactions accounted for in revenue and cost of sales.
Unrealized gains or losses relate to financial derivatives used by the Group to hedge forecasted commercial and commodity transactions for which hedge accounting is not applied. Unrealized gains or losses on these derivatives are recognized in Other Gains and Losses, net and are intended to offset the change in the value of forecasted transactions which are not yet accounted for.
8
Changes in realized and unrealized (losses) / gains on derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily reflected the fluctuation in commodity and energy prices.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, restructuring costs amounted to €3 million and related to cost improvement programs in Europe and in the U.S.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, losses on disposal costs included a €5 million loss relating to the sale of Constellium Ussel, which was completed on February 2, 2023.
Finance Costs, net
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, finance costs, net decreased by €3 million to €32 million from €35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease primarily reflected lower borrowings on the Pan-U.S. ABL in 2024 compared to 2023 and the partial redemption of €43 million on the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 in July 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, finance costs, net decreased by €5 million to €65 million from €70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease primarily reflected lower borrowings on the Pan-U.S. ABL in 2024 compared to 2023 and the partial redemption of €43 million on the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 in July 2023.
Income Tax
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense amounted to €24 million and €12 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense amounted to €32 million and €17 million, respectively.
Our effective tax rate was 25% and 27% of our income before income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and 26% and 25% of our income before income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The difference in our effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate compared to a statutory tax rate of 25.8% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was primarily due to the geographical mix of our pre-tax results and the impact of non-recurring transactions.
Net Income / Loss
As a result of the foregoing factors, we recognized net income of €71 million and net income of €32 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized net income of €88 million and net income of €54 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA
In considering the financial performance of the business, we analyze the primary financial performance measure of Segment Adjusted EBITDA in all of our business segments. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker, as defined under IFRS 8 - Segment reporting, measures the profitability and financial performance of our operating segments based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting, metal price lag (as defined hereafter), share-based compensation expense, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.

(A)Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium's Revenue are established and when aluminium purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The metal price lag will generally increase our earnings in times of rising primary aluminium prices and decrease our earnings in times of declining primary aluminium prices. The calculation of metal price lag adjustment is based on a standardized methodology applied at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites. Metal price lag is calculated as the average value of product purchased in the period, approximated at the market price, less the value of product in inventory at the weighted average of metal purchased over time, multiplied by the quantity sold in the period.
(B)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, restructuring costs amounted to €3 million and were related to cost improvement programs in Europe and in the U.S.
(C)For the six months ended June 30, 2023, gains and losses on disposal costs net of transaction costs included a €5 million loss related to the sale of Constellium Ussel S.A.S. completed on February 2, 2023.
(D)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, other was related to €5 million of inventory impairment as a result of flooding in Sierre and Chippis facilities at the end of June 2024 as well as €2 million of costs associated with non-recurring corporate transformation projects.

Liquidity and capital resources
Our primary sources of cash flow have historically been cash flows from operating activities and funding or borrowings from external parties.
Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations, and the condition in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, new debt issuances or refinancing of existing debt facilities, and availability under our factoring and revolving credit facilities will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the short-term and long-term.
It is our policy to hedge all highly probable or committed foreign currency operating cash flows. As we have significant third party future receivables denominated in U.S. dollars, we generally enter into combinations of forward contracts with financial institutions, selling forward U.S. dollars against euros.
When we are unable to align the price and quantity of physical aluminium purchases with that of physical aluminium sales, it is also our policy to enter into derivative financial instruments to pass through the exposure to metal price fluctuations to financial institutions at the time the price is set. As the U.S. dollar appreciates against the euro or the LME price for aluminium falls, the derivative contracts related to transactional hedging entered into with financial institution counterparties will have a negative mark-to-market.
In addition, we borrow in a combination of euros and U.S. dollars. When the external currency mix of our debt does not match the mix of our assets, we use a combination of cross-currency interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps to balance the risk.
Our financial institution counterparties may require margin calls should our negative mark-to-market exceed a pre-agreed contractual limit. In order to protect the Group from the potential margin calls for significant market movements, we maintain additional cash or availability under our various borrowing facilities, we enter into derivatives with a large number of financial counterparties and we monitor potential margin requirements on a daily basis for adverse movements in the U.S. dollar against the euro and in aluminium prices. There were no margin calls at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, we had €869 million of total liquidity, comprised of €213 million in cash and cash equivalents, €452 million of availability under our Pan-U.S. ABL facility, €104 million of availability under our factoring arrangements and €100 million of availability under our French inventory facility.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash flows from operating activities were €206 million, a €39 million increase from €167 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. This change primarily reflected a €3 million increase in cash flows from operating activities before working capital and a €36 million increase in changes from working capital.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, changes in working capital were attributable to (i) an increase in inventory of €23 million, primarily driven by metal price increases; (ii) an increase in accounts payable of €153 million, primarily driven by metal price increases; (iii) an increase in trade receivables of €186 million primarily driven by increased activity during the period as well as metal price increases.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, changes in working capital were attributable to (i) a decrease in inventory of €150 million, primarily driven by a decrease in inventory volume mainly in the P&ARP segment following a strong increase in 2022; (ii) a decrease in accounts payable of €14 million; (iii) an increase in trade receivables of €224 million primarily driven by increased activity during the period in the A&T segment.
In the six months ended June 30, 2024, factored receivables under non-recourse arrangements increased by €4 million compared to a €2 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP measures
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS. We believe the most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss for the relevant period.
In considering the financial performance of the business, we analyze the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA in all of our business segments. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting, share-based compensation expense, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, is useful to investors as it illustrates the underlying performance of continuing operations by excluding certain non-recurring and non-operating items. Similar concepts of adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of our company and in comparison to other companies, many of which present an adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It is not a measure defined by IFRS and therefore does not purport to be an alternative to operating profit or net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, our results prepared in accordance with IFRS.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required in consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In accordance with IAS 1- Presentation of Financial Statements, the Interim Financial Statements are prepared on the assumption that Constellium is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the application of the effective tax rate method in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
The Interim Financial Statements are presented in millions of Euros, except when otherwise indicated. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
The Interim Financial Statements were authorized for issue by management on July 22, 2024.
2.2 New and amended standards and interpretations
Several amendments to IFRS standards apply for the first time in 2024, but have no impact on the Interim Financial Statements of the Group.
The Group has applied the mandatory exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from Pillar Two income taxes. The Group has reviewed its corporate structure in light of the introduction of Pillar Two Model Rules in the jurisdictions where it operates based on the most recent tax filings and financial statements. Based on this assessment, the Group has determined that it is not subject to Pillar Two “top-up” taxes for the the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. The Group plans to adopt new standards and interpretations on their required effective dates.
2.3 Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, along with the accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, giving consideration to previous experience. However, actual results may differ from the amounts included in the financial statements.
F-7
In preparing these Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the application of the effective tax rate method for the determination of the income tax provision.

(A)Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium's Revenue are established and when aluminium purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The metal price lag will generally increase our earnings in times of rising primary aluminium prices and decrease our earnings in times of declining primary aluminium prices. The calculation of metal price lag adjustment is based on a standardized methodology applied at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites. Metal price lag is calculated as the average value of product purchased in the period, approximated at the market price, less the value of product in inventory at the weighted average of metal purchased over time, multiplied by the quantity sold in the period.

10.4 Factoring arrangements
The Group factors trade receivables under committed factoring agreements in the United States, France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic:
•In the United States, Constellium Muscle Shoals LLC is party to a factoring agreement with a capacity of $175 million and a maturity date in September 2025 and Constellium Automotive USA LLC is party to a factoring agreement with a maximum capacity of $25 million and a maturity date in December 2024.
•The factoring agreement in place for our entities in France has a maximum capacity of €250 million (including a €20 million recourse line) and a maturity date in January 2026.
•Factoring agreements in place for our entities in Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic have a combined maximum capacity of €200 million and maturity dates in December 2027.
In addition, the Group sells receivables from one of its German customers under an uncommitted factoring facility whereby receivables sold are confirmed by the customer.
These factoring agreements contain certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including some relating to the administration and collection of the assigned receivables, the terms of the invoices and the exchange of information, but do not contain maintenance financial covenants. In addition, the commitment of the factor to buy receivables under the Muscle Shoals factoring agreement is subject to certain credit ratings being maintained. The Group was in compliance with all applicable covenants at and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Under the Group’s factoring agreements, most of the trade receivables, when sold, are sold without recourse. Where the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables, the receivables are derecognized. Some remaining receivables do not qualify for derecognition, as the Group retains substantially all the associated risks and rewards. At June 30, 2024, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored was €580 million, of which €360 million had been derecognized. At December 31, 2023, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored was €494 million, of which €356 million had been derecognized.
Amounts due to the factors in respect of trade receivables sold were €1 million and €1 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

16.3 Valuation hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value, grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
•Level 1 is based on a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments. Level 1 includes aluminium, copper and zinc futures that are traded on the LME.
•Level 2 is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 2 includes foreign exchange derivatives, natural gas derivatives, silver derivatives and premium derivatives. The present value of future cash flows based on the forward or on the spot exchange rates at the balance sheet date is used to value foreign exchange derivatives.
•Level 3 is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Trade receivables are classified as a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 17 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s financial risk management strategy focuses on minimizing the cash flow impacts of volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and metal prices, while maintaining the financial flexibility the Group requires in order to successfully execute its business strategy.
Due to Constellium’s capital structure and the nature of its operations, the Group is exposed to the following financial risks: (i) market risk including foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate risks; (ii) credit risk and (iii) liquidity risk.
F-19
17.1 Market risk
i. Commercial transaction exposures
The Group has agreed to supply a major customer with fabricated metal products from a Euro functional currency entity and invoices in U.S. Dollars. The Group has entered into significant foreign exchange derivatives that matched related highly probable future conversion sales. The Group designates these derivatives for hedge accounting, with a total nominal amount of $470 million and $209 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively, with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2029.
The table below details the effect of foreign currency derivatives in the Interim Income Statement and the Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income:

Realized losses on foreign currency derivatives - net | 6 | ( | ( | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unrealized (losses) / gains on foreign currency derivatives - net | 6 | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(A)Gains or losses on the hedging instruments are expected to offset losses or gains on the underlying hedged forecasted sales that will be reflected in the future when these sales are recognized.
(B)Changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are included in Revenue when the related customer invoices are issued.
ii. Commodities
The Group does not apply hedge accounting on commodity derivatives and therefore any mark-to-market movements are recognized in Other gains and losses – net.
17.2 Liquidity risk management
The liquidity requirements of the overall Company are funded by cash and drawings on available credit facilities, while the internal management of liquidity is optimized by means of cash pooling agreements and/or intercompany loans and deposit between the Company’s operating entities and central Treasury.
At June 30, 2024, the borrowing bases for the Pan-U.S. ABL and the French Inventory Facility were €467 million and €100 million, respectively. After deduction of amounts drawn and letters of credit, the Group had €552 million outstanding availability under these revolving credit facilities.
At June 30, 2024, liquidity was €869 million, comprised of €213 million of cash and cash equivalents and €656 million of available undrawn facilities, including the €552 million described above.
F-20
Margin calls
The Group's financial institution counterparties may require margin calls should the mark-to-market of our derivatives hedging foreign exchange and commodity price risks exceed a pre-agreed contractual limit. In order to protect from potential margin calls for significant market movements, the Group enters into derivatives with a large number of financial counterparties and monitors margin requirements on a daily basis. In addition, the Group (i) tries to offset exposures with financial counterparts and (ii) holds a significant liquidity buffer in cash or in availability under its various borrowing facilities.
At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there was no

Contingencies
The Group is involved, and may become involved, in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to customer claims, product liability, employee and retiree benefit matters and other commercial matters. The Group records provisions for pending litigation matters when it determines that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some proceedings, the issues raised can be highly complex and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed can be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages can be difficult to ascertain. In exceptional cases, when the Group considers that disclosures relating to provisions and contingencies may prejudice its position, disclosures are limited to the general nature of the matter in hand.
NOTE 20 - NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 22 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Description of plans
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)
In March 2024, the Company granted Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to selected employees and the CEO. These units vest if the following conditions are met:
•A vesting condition under which the beneficiaries must be continuously at the service of the Company through the end of a three-year vesting period; and
•A performance condition, contingent on the TSR performance of Constellium shares over the vesting period compared to the TSR of specified indices. PSUs will ultimately vest based on a vesting multiplier which ranges from 0 % to 200 %.
The following table lists the inputs to the valuation model used for the PSUs granted in March 2024:

(A)Volatility in the share prices of the Company and companies included in indices were estimated based on observed historical volatilities over a period equal to the PSU vesting period.
Restricted Stock Units Award Agreements (equity-settled)
In March 2024, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to selected employees and the CEO subject to the beneficiaries remaining continuously at the service of the Group from the grant date to the end of the three-year vesting period.The fair value of the RSUs awarded is €18.14 , being the euro equivalent of the quoted market price at grant date.
Expense recognized during the period
In accordance with IFRS 2, share-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The estimate of this expense is based upon the fair value of a potential ordinary share at the grant date. The total share-based compensation amounted to €12 million and €10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
