1 The calculation of earnings per share is performed separately for continuing and discontinued operations. As a result, the sum of the two in any particular period may not equal the earnings-per-share amount in total.
2 The loss per share for discontinued operations has not been diluted, since the incremental shares included in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

LUXFER HOLDINGS PLC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for interim Financial Statements
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and all wholly-owned, majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries on the same basis as our annual audited financial statements. We condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual audited financial statements, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Our quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "Luxfer" and "the Company" mean Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are only of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, which addresses challenges encountered when applying the guidance in Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In September 2025, the FASB also issued ASU 2025-06, which modernized the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. Neither of these amendments are expected to give rise to a material change in our statement of income or financial position.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities ("PBEs"). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We will adopt the standard beginning with our annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2027.

2. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding, net of treasury shares and shares held in ESOP. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and the dilutive ordinary shares equivalents.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:
| Third Quarter | Year-to-date | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In millions except share and per-share data | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic earnings / (loss): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income from continuing operations | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income / (loss) from discontinued operations | ( | ( | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Weighted average number of £ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For basic earnings per share | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dilutive effect of potential common stock | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| For diluted earnings per share | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings per share using weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding(1): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic earnings per ordinary share for continuing operations | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic earnings / (loss) per ordinary share for discontinued operations | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic earnings per ordinary share | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted earnings per ordinary share for continuing operations | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted earnings / (loss) per ordinary share for discontinued operations | ( | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted earnings per ordinary share | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) The calculation of earnings per share is performed separately for continuing and discontinued operations. As a result, the sum of the two in any particular period may not equal the earnings-per-share amount in total.
In the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, basic average shares outstanding and diluted average shares outstanding were the same for discontinued operations because the effect of potential shares of common stock was anti-dilutive since the Company generated a net loss from discontinued operations.

4. Restructuring
The $3.5 million and $5.6 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2025 predominantly relates to costs aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and generating savings through enhanced operational alignment, in particular to centralize our North American Gas Cylinders and Elektron divisions.
As part of this initiative, we recognized an accelerated depreciation charge of $2.1 million and $3.8 million related to property, plant and equipment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, in accordance with ASC 360. These charges were triggered by a strategic decision to relocate operations, resulting in the affected assets no longer being utilized over their originally estimated useful lives. We also recognized $0.2
In addition, we recognized $1.2 million and $1.6 million of severance and other restructuring-related costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, associated with workforce reductions and other costs incurred in connection with the restructuring activities.
The $0.5 million and $2.3 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2024 predominantly related to continued costs aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.

The $1.1
Disposal related costs of $0.1
The $7.5 million loss on held-for-sale asset group in the first nine months of 2024 related to the Graphic Arts' assets which were revalued to the expected consideration the Company will receive.
Disposal-related costs of $0.1 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, represented professional fees incurred and accrued in relation to the divestiture of the Graphic Arts segment.
6. Other income
In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case were covered by insurance. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $7.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2024, in relation to these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.3 million cash was received in the first nine months of 2024 with a further $1.9 million accrued at September 2024.

7. Income Taxes
We manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and therefore have our tax residency in the U.K. The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. and international income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.K. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the first nine months ended September 28, 2025, was a 35.3 % tax charge compared to a 34.2 % tax charge for the first nine months ended September 29, 2024. In 2025 the rate was impacted by non-deductible expenses and accelerated depreciation charges, in 2024, the rate was impacted by non-deductible expenses, the gain/loss on held-for-sale asset group and accelerated depreciation charges. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted into law. The Company has evaluated the potential impact of this legislation and expects it to result primarily in a timing difference, with no material effect on the Company’s overall tax expense.

Loan notes due and shelf facility
The Note Purchase Agreement and Private Shelf Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2014, to September 28, 2025.
The Loan Notes due June 29, 2026, the Shelf Facility and the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement are governed by the law of the State of New York. In July 2025 we completed a refinance of our shelf facility, the terms of this remaining the same, with expiry now in July 2030 as opposed to October 2026.
Senior Facilities Agreement
During the first nine months of 2025, we drew down net $0.9 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and the balance outstanding at September 28, 2025, was $19.2 million, and at December 31, 2024, was $17.2 million, with $105.8 million undrawn at September 28, 2025 and $107.8 million undrawn at December 31,2024.
Bank Overdraft
The bank overdraft is an uncommitted facility with no expiration date, this is reviewed annually and can be cancelled by either the bank or the Company on demand.
11. Discontinued Operations
Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business, which operated from sites in the U.S. and the U.K., was historically included in the Gas Cylinders Segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, we have reflected the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. We expect our Superform U.S. business to be sold within the next twelve months.
The assets and liabilities of the Superform business have been presented within Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Results of discontinued operations in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

In the first nine months of 2025 the Company recognized a $2.8 million loss on held-for-sale asset group relating to Superform assets. The loss reflects an adjustment to bring the carrying amount in line with its estimated fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with ASC 360, due to revised expectations regarding the sale.
The fair value measurement was determined using a nonrecurring fair value approach under ASC 820. As the asset group is not traded in an active market, the Company applied a market approach, estimating fair value based on recent transactions involving comparable businesses of a similar size and industry profile. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

12. Held-for-sale assets and liabilities (continued)
As a result of the Company’s strategic review process announced in October 2023, the Company concluded that its Graphic Arts business no longer aligned with the Company’s overall business and value proposition.
On July 02, 2025, the Company completed the divesture of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., a newly created affiliate of TerraMar Capital LLC. Graphic Arts was previously reported as a separate operating segment under ASC 280. Following the disposal, Graphic Arts will no longer be presented as a reportable segment. The Company recognized a net loss on held-for-sale asset group of $1.1 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025. The consideration and loss on disposal was calculated as follows:
| In millions | 2025 | ||||||||||

| Net proceeds | $ | ||||||||||

The loss on disposal of $1.1 million has been recognized within disposal related costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The working capital adjustment reflects cash received prior to the divestiture, resulting in a reduction of the consideration paid by Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc.
The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of Graphic Arts at the date of disposal were as follows:

Confirmation of the final working capital balance remains outstanding at October 28, 2025, and as a result the working capital adjustment may be subject to change, this is expected to be finalized by December 31, 2025. Depending on the outcome, the final loss on disposal may differ from the amount currently recognized.
In accordance with ASC 205-20 and ASC 360-10, our Graphic Arts business was classified as held-for-sale at December 31, 2024, however the business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation.
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, the Company recognized a $6.1 7.3 million was received in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In March 2025, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long Term Umbrella Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 135,000 and the weighted average fair value of options granted in 2025 was estimated to be $12.13 per share.
In June 2025, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Non Executive Directors' Equity Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 45,000 and the weighted average fair value of options granted was estimated to be $11.46 per share.

15. Segmental Information
We classify our operations into business segments, based primarily on shared economic characteristics for the nature of the products and services; the nature of the production processes; the type or class of customer for their products and services; the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has four identified business units following the divestiture of Luxfer Graphic Arts, which aggregate into two reportable segments within continuing operations, and one within discontinued operations. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment and, Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech aggregate into the Elektron segment. Prior to its divestiture, an additional business unit, Luxfer Graphic Arts formed the Graphic Arts segment. Our Superform business unit used to aggregate into the Gas Cylinders segment but is now recognized within discontinued operations. A summary of the operations of the segments within continuing operations is provided below:
Gas Cylinders segment
Our Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized highly-engineered cylinders, using composites and aluminum alloys, including pressurized cylinders for use in various applications including self contained breathing apparatus ('SCBA') for firefighters, containment of oxygen and other medical gases for healthcare, alternative fuel vehicles, aerospace and space exploration and specialty industrial applications.
Elektron segment Our Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium, with key product lines including advanced lightweight magnesium alloys with a variety of uses across a variety of industries; magnesium powders for use in countermeasure flares, as well as heater meals; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used as catalysts and in the manufacture of advances ceramics, fiber-optic fuel cells, and many other performance products.
Graphic Arts segment
Our Graphic Arts segment provided a full range of pre-sensitized magnesium, copper and zinc plates, along with associated chemicals, for the production of foil-stamping and embossing dies. In addition, non-sensitized polished brass and magnesium plates were manufactured for computer numerical control ('CNC') engraving. The segment also advised on turnkey engraving operations, complete with etching machines, computer-to-plate ('CtP') machines, exposure units and film setters.

15. Segmental Information (continued)
Other
Other, as used below, primarily represents unallocated corporate expense and includes non-service related defined benefit pension credit.
Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker "CODM", the CEO, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, using net sales and adjusted EBITA, which is defined as the Company's measure of segment profit or loss, and is based on income before tax from continuing operations, adjusted for share-based compensation charges; restructuring charges; impairment charges; disposal costs; gain on disposal of assets held for sale/property, plant and equipment; defined benefit credit/charge, interest expense, net and amortization.
Unallocated assets and liabilities include those which are held on behalf of the Company and cannot be allocated to a segment, such as taxation, investments, cash, retirement benefits obligations, bank and other loans and holding company assets and liabilities.
Financial information by reportable segment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
In the third quarter of 2025 there were no sales made between our segments (2024: $0.1 million sales between our Elektron segment and Graphic Arts segment).

Contingencies
In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case are covered by insurance. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $7.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2024, in relation to recovery of these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.3 million cash was received in the first nine months of 2024 with a further $1.9 million accrued at September 2024.
In January 2025, a final settlement was agreed upon related to the US Ecology case which was covered in full by the Company's insurance policy, with payment made in February 2025. As a result, the Company recorded a liability for the settlement in other current liabilities and recognized a gain contingency related to the insurance payout receivable in accounts and other receivables as at December 31, 2024, nil at September 28, 2025.
In April 2025, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate allegations of compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel leaks in certain CNG fuel systems, equipped with certain Luxfer Type 4 CNG fuel containers. Luxfer is fully co-operating with this Preliminary Evaluation, which has a range of potential outcomes, and at this stage Luxfer is not able to estimate the potential financial impact. Luxfer does not believe that this alleged issue poses an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.
In July 2025, in accordance with the Luxfer Graphic Arts sale agreement, the Company has fully indemnified the purchaser for certain identified environmental matters relating to the Madison Illinois site, which we estimate will cost approximately $1 million to close out. Additionally, we have provided indemnification for any unidentified environmental matters that may have occurred between 2003 (the year of the original acquisition by Luxfer) and July 2025, capped at $10 million and / or 5 years .

Net sales
Adjusting for foreign exchange tailwinds of $0.2 million and $1.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, and excluding Graphic Arts sales of $8.0 million in third quarter of 2024, $13.4 million and $22.2 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, net sales have increased by 1.4% and 4.6% respectively.
Revenue was positively impacted in the quarter from:
•Continuing strong sales of Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) and Unitized Group Rations (UGR-E);
•Continued recovery in sales of magnesium aerospace alloys;
•Higher sales of SCBA cylinders; and
•Gains in sales of aerospace cylinders, which serve commercial aircraft.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Decrease in sales of magnesium powders for both commercial and defense use;
•Reduced sales of zirconium powders used by our specialty industrial customers; and
•Continued softness in demand for Alternative Fuel ("AF") cylinders in both North America and Europe.
In relation to the first nine months of 2025, revenue was positively impacted from:
•Strong sales of Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) and Unitized Group Rations (UGR-E);
•Greater demand for magnesium aerospace alloys;
•Increased sales of magnesium powders for both commercial and defense use; and
•Higher demand for cylinders used in aerospace and space exploration projects.
These increases have been partially offset by:
•Significant reduction in AF cylinder sales, as well as those used for SCBA and medical purposes; and
•Decrease in zirconium powders, specifically those used for automotive catalysis.
Gross profit
Excluding Graphic Arts there was a 0.8 percentage point increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of positive sales mix, pricing discipline and continued operational execution across end markets, partially offset by the impact of higher fixed costs in the Elektron division linked to increased volumes and infrastructure investment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
Excluding Graphic Arts, SG&A costs as a percentage of sales in 2025 from 2024 have increased by 0.4 percentage points and 0.6 percentage points in the quarter and first nine months respectively.
Research and development costs
Excluding Graphic Arts, research and development costs as a percentage of sales remained flat in the third quarter and decreased 0.1 percentage point in the first nine months of 2025 from 2024 respectively.
Restructuring charges
The $3.5 million and $5.6 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months respectively of 2025 predominantly relates to costs aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and generating savings through enhanced operational alignment, in particular to centralize our North American gas cylinders and magnesium powders businesses.
As part of this initiative, we recognized an accelerated depreciation charge of $2.1 million and $3.8 million related to property, plant and equipment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, in accordance with ASC 360. This was triggered by a strategic decision to relocate operations, resulting in the affected assets no longer being used for their original intended length of time. $0.2 million of asset impairments were recognized in relation to inventory in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 to reflect inventory no longer recoverable as part of the relocation.
The $0.5 million and $2.3 million restructuring charge in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, of 2024 predominantly related to continued costs aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.
26
Disposal related costs
On July 02, 2025, the Company completed the divesture of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., a newly created affiliate of TerraMar Capital LLC. Graphic Arts was previously reported as a separate operating segment under ASC 280. The Company recognized a net loss on held-for-sale asset group of $1.1 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025.
Additional costs of $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2025, represented professional fees incurred in relation to our ongoing strategic review.
In the first nine months of 2024 a $7.5 million loss on held-for-sale asset group related to the Graphic Arts' assets was recognized within disposal related costs. Additionally, $0.1 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, was recognized, representing professional fees incurred and accrued in relation to the divestiture of the Graphic Arts segment.
Gain on disposal of assets held-for-sale
The $6.1 million gain on disposal recognized in the third quarter and first nine months respectively of 2024 were in relation to the sale of previously disclosed held-for-sale land and buildings in our Elektron division. Net consideration of $7.3 million was received in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Other Income
In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case are covered by insurance. The Company recognized $1.9 million and $7.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2024, in relation to these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.3 million cash has been received in the first nine months of 2024 with a further $1.9 million accrued at September 2024.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense of $0.7 million in the Third Quarter of 2025 decreased 50.0% from $1.4 million in the Third Quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in drawings. Interest expense of $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 was also lower than the $4.1 million in the first nine months of 2024.
Defined benefit pension credit
There was a defined benefit credit of $0.6 million and $1.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months respectively for the U.K. plan, an improvement from 2024 as a result of the triennial valuation in 2024.
Provision for income taxes
The movement in the year to date statutory effective tax rate from 34.2% in 2024, to 35.3% in 2025, was primarily due to non-deductible expenses, predominantly in relation to the previously mentioned (gain) / loss on assets held for sale and accelerated depreciation charges. When stripping out the impact of this, as well as other less significant adjusting items, the adjusted effective tax rate has increased to 23.5% in 2025 from 23.4% in 2024.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
The following tables of non-GAAP summary financial data presents a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per ordinary share from continuing operations to adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITA from continuing operations, adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost recovery, adjusted earnings per ordinary share from continuing operations, adjusted provision for income taxes and adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations, for the periods presented, being the most comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that adjusted net income excluding legal cost recovery, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost recovery are key performance indicators ("KPIs") used by the investment community and that such presentation will enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company's operational results. In addition, Luxfer's CEO and other senior management use these KPIs, among others, to evaluate business performance. However, investors should not consider adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITA from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost (recovery) from continuing operations in isolation as an alternative to net income and earnings per share when evaluating Luxfer's operating performance or measuring Luxfer's profitability. In 2024, the Company initiated a process to divest the Graphic Arts business which was concluded in July 2025. While Graphic Arts did not meet the 'strategic shift' criteria outlined in ASC 205-20 for it to be classified as a discontinued operation, management believed it is appropriate in the tables below to separate out the results of Graphic Arts in order to provide a more complete financial summary for the period. Similarly other income of $7.2 million in the first nine months of 2024 relates to the recovery of legal costs from our insurer related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case, historically the legal costs relating to this case were in selling, general and administrative expenses, however the other income in the first nine months of 2024 is separated due to its one-off nature and the recovery relating to several years. We believe separating the income and costs relating to this is also appropriate to provide a more complete financial summary for the period.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of each of our three reportable segments (Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Graphic Arts). The three segments comprise various product offerings that serve multiple end-markets.
Adjusted EBITA, which is our segment income metric, represents net income from continuing operations adjusted for share-based compensation charges, restructuring charges, impairment charges, disposal costs, loss / (gain) on disposal of assets held-for-sale, net interest expenses, defined benefits pension credit, provision for taxes and amortization. A reconciliation to pre-tax income can be found in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adjusted EBITDA, as shown below, represents adjusted EBITA less depreciation. Management believes that adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA are key performance indicators ("KPIs") used by the investment community and that such presentation will enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company's operational results. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to adjusted EBITA above.
GAS CYLINDERS
The results of operations from the Gas Cylinders segment are for continuing operations only.
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Gas Cylinders were as follows:
| Third Quarter | % / point change | Year-to-date | % / point change | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In millions | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 v 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 v 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net sales | $ | 42.9 | $ | 42.6 | 0.7% | $ | 131.0 | $ | 137.8 | (4.9)% | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales | 8.6 | % | 10.8 | % | (2.2) | 8.5 | % | 9.9 | % | (1.4) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net sales
The 0.7% and 4.9% increase and decrease in Gas Cylinders sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 from 2024, respectively, was primarily the result of:
•Higher sales of SCBA cylinders; and
•Gains in sales of aerospace cylinders, which serve commercial aircraft.
These decreases were partially offset by continued softness in demand for Alternative Fuel ("AF") cylinders in both North America and Europe.
Further to the above, the first nine months of the year were also affected by lower sales of medical cylinders, offset by gains in sales of aerospace cylinders, which serve space exploration programs.
31
Adjusted EBITA
The 2.2 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2025 relative to 2024 is predominantly the result of weaker sales mix. For the first nine months there has been a 1.4 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA, also the result of adverse sales mix partially offset by price and a foreign exchange tailwind.
Adjusted EBITDA
Depreciation for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 has been flat compared to 2024, meaning the movement in adjusted EBITDA is for the same reasons as the movement in adjusted EBITA
ELEKTRON
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Elektron were as follows:

| Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales | 19.8 | % | 22.1 | % | (2.3) | 18.5 | % | 23.0 | % | (4.5) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net sales
The 2.5% increase in Elektron sales in the third quarter of 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of:
•Significant increase in sales of Meals Ready to Eat ("MREs") and Unitized Group Rations "(UGR-E");
•Continued recovery in sales of magnesium aerospace alloys; and
•Improved demand for oil and gas alloys.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Decrease in sales of magnesium and zirconium powders for both commercial and defense use.
Further to the above the 16.3% increase in the first nine months of the year were also affected by lower sales of automotive catalysis materials offset by an increase in sales of magnesium powders for both commercial and defense use.
Adjusted EBITA
Excluding the $1.9 million and $7.2 million net recovery of historic legal costs in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.6 percentage points in 2025 when compared to 2024 for both periods. This was driven by favorable product mix and continued cost discipline.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was affected for the same reasons as adjusted EBITA.

On July 02, 2025, the Company completed the divesture of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., a newly created affiliate of TerraMar Capital LLC. Graphic Arts was previously reported as a separate operating segment under ASC 280. Following the disposal, Graphic Arts will no longer be presented as a reportable segment. The Company recognized a net loss on held-for-sale asset group of $1.1 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from obligations under our indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the funding of working capital and the funding of hedging facilities to manage foreign exchange and commodity purchase price risks. We meet these requirements primarily through cash flows from operating activities, cash deposits and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and accompanying ancillary hedging facilities and the Loan Note due in 2026. Our principal liquidity needs are:
•funding acquisitions, including deferred contingent consideration payments;
•capital expenditure requirements;
•payment of shareholder dividends;
•servicing interest on the Loan Notes, which is payable at each quarter end, in addition to interest and / or commitment fees on the Senior Facilities Agreement;
•working capital requirements, particularly in the short term as we aim to achieve organic sales growth; and
•hedging facilities used to manage our foreign exchange risks and aluminum purchase price risks.
We believe that, in the long term, cash generated from our operations will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and interest payments on our indebtedness. In the short term, we believe we have sufficient credit facilities to cover any variation in our cash flow generation. However, any major repayments of indebtedness will be dependent on our ability to raise alternative financing or to realize substantial returns from operational sales, in July 2025 we completed a refinance of our shelf facility, the terms of this remaining the same, with expiry now in July 2030. Our ability to expand operations through sales development and capital expenditures could be constrained by the availability of liquidity, which, in turn, could impact the profitability of our operations.
We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Notes and the Senior Facilities Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to September 28, 2025.
Luxfer conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Accordingly, Luxfer's main cash source is dividends from its subsidiaries. The ability of each subsidiary to make distributions depends on the funds that a subsidiary receives from its operations in excess of the funds necessary for its operations, obligations or other business plans. We have not historically experienced any material impediment to these distributions, and we do not expect any local legal or regulatory regimes to have any impact on our ability to meet our liquidity requirements in the future. In addition, since our subsidiaries are wholly-owned, our claims will generally rank junior to all other obligations of the subsidiaries. If our operating subsidiaries are unable to make distributions, our growth may slow, unless we are able to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the event of a subsidiary's liquidation, there may not be assets sufficient for us to recoup our investment in the subsidiary.
Our ability to maintain or increase the generation of cash from our operations in the future will depend significantly on the competitiveness of and demand for our products, including our success in launching new products. Achieving such success is a key objective of our business strategy. Due to commercial, competitive and external economic factors, however, we cannot guarantee that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future working capital will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or make necessary capital expenditures.

Cash Flows
Operating activities
Cash generated by operating activities was $18.2 million inflow and $25.4 million inflow for the first nine months in 2025 and 2024 respectively. It was primarily related to net income from operating activities, net decreases in working capital, and net of the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation charges; pension credit; loss / (gain) on held-for-sale assets and net changes to assets and liabilities. Cash flow in 2024 was impacted by the $5.3 million receipt arising from the reimbursement of legal costs in relation to the previously disclosed US Ecology case.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $0.3 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $7.7 million in 2024. Capital expenditure reduced by $2.7 million in the first nine months and net $4.3 million was received in relation to the previously mentioned divestiture of Graphic Arts.
Financing activities
In the first nine months of 2025, net cash used by financing activities was $16.2 million, (2024: $16.3 million used by financing activities). We made a net repayment on our banking facilities of $2.2 million, having drawn $0.9 million on our revolving credit facility and repaid $3.1 million of short term debt (2024: $3.8 million repayment). Dividend payments of $10.5 million (2024: $10.5 million), equating to $0.39 per ordinary share respectively and we paid out $0.7 million, (2024: $0.4 million) in settling share based compensation and $1.9 million, (2024: $1.6 million) in repurchasing our own shares as part of the share buyback program which equates to 155,000 shares (2024: 150,000 shares).
Capital Resources
Dividends
We paid year-to-date dividends in 2025 of $10.5 million and declared an additional $3.5 million after the quarter (2024: $10.5 million paid year-to-date and additional $3.5 million declared after the quarter).
Any payment of dividends is also subject to the provisions of the U.K. Companies Act, according to which dividends may only be paid out of profits available for distribution determined by reference to financial statements prepared in accordance with the Companies Act and IFRS as adopted by the E.U., which differ in some respects from GAAP. In the event that dividends are paid in the future, holders of the ordinary shares will be entitled to receive payments in U.S. dollars in respect of dividends on the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with the deposit agreement. Furthermore, because we are a holding company, any dividend payments would depend on cash flows from our subsidiaries.
Authorized shares
Our authorized share capital consists of 40.0 million ordinary shares with a par value of £0.50 per share.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information pertaining to recently adopted accounting standards or accounting standards to be adopted in the future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. In our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the first nine months ended September 28, 2025. For additional information, refer to Item 7A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025. For a discussion of recent developments affecting the supply of certain rare earth materials, refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Rare earth export restrictions.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 28, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of September 28, 2025, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 28, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject. It is possible, however, that an adverse resolution of an unexpectedly large number of such individual claims or proceedings could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on results of operations for a particular year or quarter.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.
