Net sales
Adjusting for foreign exchange tailwinds of $3.0 million (2024: tailwind of $1.7 million), and excluding Graphic Arts sales of $13.4 million(2024:$29.6 million)consolidated net sales have increased by $5.9 million or 1.6% in 2025 from 2024. Lower volumes and unfavorable mix reduced sales by $0.5 million, more than offset by $6.4 million from the pass-through of price increases.
Excluding Graphic Arts, sales in our Specialty Industrial and Defense, First Response and Healthcare end market have increased by 11.9% and 2.9% respectively, whilst our sales in our Transportation end market have decreased by 4.8%.
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 Alternative Fuel cylinder sales, as well as those used for SCBA and medical purposes; and
•Decrease in sales of 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 2025 from 2024. 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 have increased by 0.5 percentage points in 2025 from 2024.
Research and development costs
Excluding Graphic Arts, research and development costs as a percentage of sales remained flat in 2025 from 2024.
Restructuring charges
The $9.0 million restructuring charges in 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. We ceased manufacturing at our Pomona, California facility in December 2025.
As part of this initiative, we recognized impairment charges of $3.8 million related to property, plant and equipment in accordance with ASC 360, and $1.9 million related to right-of-use assets from operating leases in accordance with ASC 842, which applies the long-lived asset impairment model in ASC 360. The impairments were triggered by a strategic decision to relocate operations, resulting in the affected assets no longer being used for their originally intended period. Asset impairments of $0.8 million were recognized in relation to inventory to reflect inventory no longer recoverable as part of the relocation.
The remaining $2.5 million restructuring charge related to severance and other costs.
26
Disposal related costs
On July 2, 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 $1.9 million. Additional costs of $0.1 million represent professional fees incurred prior to the completion of the disposal of the Graphic Arts business.
In 2024 disposal related costs of $12.2 million were incurred in relation to the divestiture of our Graphic Arts segment. $9.8 million represents a loss on held-for-sale asset group to reflect its fair value at that time and $2.4 million represents professional fees.
Other (Costs) / income
Other Income of $7.7 million in 2024 relates to the recovery of legal costs from our insurer related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case, (see Note 20). Historically the legal costs relating to this case were in selling, general and administrative expenses.
In 2025, other costs of $0.8million relate to fees incurred in relation the Company’s ongoing strategic review.
Gain on Disposal of assets held for sale
The $6.1 million gain on disposal recognized in 2024 was 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.
Net interest expense
Net interest expense of $3.1 million in 2025 decreased from $5.2 million in 2024 primarily due to the lower average drawings on the revolving credit facility.
Defined benefit pension credit
The defined benefit pension credit of $1.3 million in 2025 relates to the U.K. plan and was broadly consistent with the $1.6 million credit recognized in 2024.
Provision for income taxes
The 10.1 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate in 2025 from 2024 was primarily due to difference of basis in accounting and state taxes.
2024 compared with 2023
For a discussion comparing our consolidated operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Discussion and Analysis - Consolidated Operating Results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025. This section is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

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 for other income of $7.7 million in 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 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 during the year (Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Graphic Arts). The Graphic Arts business was sold on July 2, 2025. These 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 ITEM 8, Note 18. 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:
Years ended December 31, % / point change
Adjusted EBITA % of net sales 6.7 % 7.8 % 6.8 % (1.1) 1.0
Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales 8.6 % 9.7 % 9.0 % (1.1) 0.7
Net sales
The 6.2% decrease in Gas Cylinders sales in 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of:
•Continued softness in demand of Alternative Fuels cylinders;
•Lower sales of medical and SCBA cylinders.
These decreases have been partially offset by:
•Gains in sales of aerospace cylinders, which serve commercial aircraft and space exploration programs.
Adjusted EBITA
The 1.1 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in 2025 from 2024 is the result of adverse sales mix partially offset by price and a foreign exchange tailwind.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 1.1 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITDA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in 2025 from 2024 is the result of the decrease in adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales.
30
ELEKTRON
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Elektron were as follows:
Years ended December 31, % / point change
Net sales
The 11.6% increase in Elektron sales in 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of:
•Significant increase in sales of Meals Ready to Eat ("MREs") and Unitized Group Rations "(UGR-E");
•Increase in sales of magnesium powders for both commercial and defense use;
•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 zirconium powders for both commercial and defense use; and
•Lower sales of automotive catalysis materials.
Adjusted EBITA
The 3.2 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA for Elektron as a percentage of net sales in 2025 from 2024 is the result of adverse price and a foreign exchange headwind.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 3.6 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITDA for Elektron as a percentage of net sales in 2025 from 2024 was predominantly the result of the decrease in adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales.
GRAPHIC ARTS
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Graphic Arts were as follows:
Years ended December 31, % / point change
Adjusted EBITA % of net sales (19.4) % (9.8) % (20.6) % (9.6) 10.8
Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales (19.4) % (9.8) % (14.3) % (9.6) 4.5
On July 2, 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 $1.9 million in 2025.
31
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.
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 RCF throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to December 31, 2025. 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.
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 from Continuing Operations
Operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $34.0 million and $51.1 million in 2025 and 2024 respectively, which includes approximately $2.3 million and $5.0 million of cash spent on restructuring activities in those years. Cash was primarily related to the net income from operating activities, net of the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation charges; pension credit; gain on disposal of held for sale assets; loss on held-for-sale asset group and net changes to assets and liabilities. In 2025 and 2024 cash flow was positively impacted by the $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, receipt arising from the reimbursement of legal costs in relation to the previously disclosed US Ecology case.
32
Investing activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $4.9 million in 2025, compared to $3.4 million in 2024. The following investing activities impacted our cash flow:
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures in 2025 was $7.8 million compared to $10.3 million in 2024, with an additional $0.4 million purchasing intangible assets in 2024. We anticipate capital expenditures for 2026 to be between $15 million and $20 million.
Proceeds from assets held for sale
In September 2024, the Company sold a previously held-for-sale building in the Elektron segment for $7.3 million. Consideration was paid in full in October 2024.
Proceeds from sale of businesses
On July 2, 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, with net proceeds of $2.9 million being received in 2025.
Financing activities
In 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $25.0 million, (2024: $44.0 million). During the year, the Company repaid $3.1 million of bank overdrafts (2024: $1.5 million repaid), made net repayments of $3.2 million on its borrowing facilities (2024: net repayments of $25.7 million) and incurred $0.9 million of costs related to the refinancing of its shelf facility (2024: nil).
Dividend payments totaled $13.9 million in 2025 (2024: $14.0 million), representing $0.52 per ordinary share in both periods
In addition, during 2025, the Company spent $3.1 million repurchasing 246,875 shares, (2024: $2.3 million repurchasing 200,000 shares) and paid $0.8 million in settling share based compensation awards (2024: $0.5 million).
Loan Note 2026
The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants and events of default, in each case with customary and appropriate grace periods and thresholds. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio measures our EBITDA (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to Net Finance Charges (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). We are required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of 4.0:1. The leverage ratio measures our Total Net Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to Adjusted Acquisition EBITDA (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement). We are required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 3.0:1. We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to December 31, 2025. The Loan Note due 2026 and the Note Purchase Agreement are governed by the law of the State of New York.
The Loan Note due 2026 is denominated in U.S. dollars, which creates a natural partial offset between the dollar-denominated net assets and earnings of our U.S. operations and the dollar-denominated debt and related interest expense of the notes. We have included the Note Purchase Agreement and a form of the Loan Note due 2026 as exhibits to this Annual Report and refer you to the exhibits for more information on the Note Purchase Agreement and the Loan Note due 2026.
Senior Facilities Agreement
Our Senior Facilities Agreement was refinanced in July 2025, for more information see Note 12.
Structure. At December 31, 2025 the Senior Facilities Agreement provided $125 million of committed debt facilities in the form of a multi-currency (GBP sterling, U.S. dollars or euros) RCF and an additional $25 million of uncommitted facilities through an accordion clause. The facilities mature in July 2030. As of December 31, 2025, we had drawn down $15.3 million under the Revolving Credit Facility (December 31, 2024: $17.2 million).
33
Availability. The facility is used for loans and overdrafts. Amounts unutilized under the RCF (or, if the case, under the revolving portion of the accordion) are allocated to ancillary facilities available under the Senior Facilities Agreement in connection with overdraft facilities, bilateral loan facilities and letter of credit facilities. As of December 31, 2025, we had drawn down $3.5 million under the ancillary facilities (December 31, 2024: $2.8 million). We may use amounts drawn under the RCF for our general corporate purposes and certain capital expenditures, as well as for the financing of permitted acquisitions and reorganizations. As of December 31, 2025, $109.7 million (net of $15.3 million drawn down) was available under the RCF. The last month in which we may draw funds from the RCF is June 2030.
The Company also had a separate (uncommitted) bonding facility for bank guarantees; denominated in GBP sterling totaling £0.5 million ($0.7 million) and £0.1 million ($0.2 million) was utilized at December 31, 2025.
Interest rates and fees. Borrowings under the facility bear an interest rate equal to an applicable margin plus either EURIBOR, in the case of amounts drawn in euros, or SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average), in the case of amounts drawn in GBP sterling or U.S. dollars.
The tables below sets out the range of ratios and the related margin percentage currently in effect.
Leverage Margin
(% per annum)
Less than or equal to 2.5:1, but greater than 2.0:1 2.50
Less than or equal to 2.0:1, but greater than 1.5:1 2.25
Less than or equal to 1.5:1, but greater than 1.0:1 2.00
Less than or equal to 1.0:1 1.75
As of December 31, 2025, we had drawn down $15.3 million under the RCF (December 31, 2024: $17.2 million). A commitment fee is levied each quarter against any unutilized element of the RCF, excluding overdraft or ancillary facilities.
In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of our business and / or assets, or if any person or group of persons acting in concert gains direct or indirect control (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) of Luxfer Holdings PLC, we will be required to immediately repay all outstanding amounts under the RCF (and, if the case, the accordion) and the ancillary facilities under the Senior Facilities Agreement.
In addition, the Senior Facilities Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio measures our EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) to Net Finance Charges (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement). We are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 4.0:1. The leverage ratio measures our Total Net Debt (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement) to the Relevant Period Adjusted Acquisition EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Facilities Agreement). We are required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 3.0:1.
We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Facilities Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to December 31, 2025.
The Senior Facilities Agreement is governed by English law. For more information see ITEM 8, Note 12.
Dividends
We paid dividends in 2025 of $13.9 million (2024: $14.0 million), or $0.52 per share in both years
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 the International Accounting Standards Board, which differ in some respects from U.S. 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Discussion and Analysis - Consolidated Operating Results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025. This section is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Off-balance sheet measures
At December 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the three bonding facilities as described above.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital commitments
At December 31, 2025, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $2.2 million (2024: $0.5 million and 2023: $2.3 million) for the purchase of new plant and equipment.
Committed banking facilities
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had committed banking facilities of $125.0 million with an additional $25.0 million of uncommitted facilities through an accordion provision. Of these committed facilities, $15.3 million was drawn at December 31, 2025 ($17.2 million December 31, 2024). The banking facilities expire in October 2026.
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 $7.7 million in the twelve months of 2024, in relation to recovery of these costs previously incurred by the Company. $5.8 million cash was received in 2024 with a further $1.9 million received in 2025.
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 received 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 December 31, 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 $1.0 million to close out. A provision for these obligations has been recognized and is included within other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
35
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 $10.0 million and / or 5 years.
Also, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in 2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
See ITEM 8, Note 1 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Form 10-K, for information pertaining to recently adopted accounting standards or accounting standards to be adopted in the future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in ITEM 8, Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:
•it requires us to make assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time we were making the estimate; and
•changes in the estimate or different estimates that we could have selected would have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our critical accounting estimates include the following:
U.K. Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company operates a funded defined benefit pension plan in the U.K., and immaterial plans in the U.S. and France. The amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements related to our defined-benefit pension and other post-retirement plans are determined from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are assumptions, including: (i) discount rates; (ii) inflation rates; (iii) pension increases; and (iv) life expectancy. These assumptions are updated annually and are disclosed in ITEM 8, Note 15 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions can have a material impact on the pension and other post-retirement obligations and future expense.
We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits annually in the fourth quarter each year ("mark-to-market adjustment") and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change as they may each year. The primary factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses each year are (i) changes in the discount rate used to value pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (ii) differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets. This accounting method also results in the potential for volatile and difficult to forecast mark-to-market adjustments. The remaining components of pension expense, including service and interest costs and the expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis as ongoing pension expense. The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the Plan was carried out in March 31, 2024, the Plan had a surplus of £20.8 million (compared with a £12.2 million deficit at the previous valuation in April 2021).
Discount rate
The discount rate used represents the annualized yield based on a cash flow matched methodology with reference to an AA corporate bond spot curve and having regard to the duration of the Plan’s liabilities. This yield produced a weighted-average discount rate for our U.K. plans of 5.50% in 2025, 5.40% in 2024 and 4.50% in 2023. The discount rate on our U.S. plans was n/a in 2025, 2024, and 2023. There are no known or anticipated changes in our discount rate assumption that will impact our pension expense in 2025.
To indicate the sensitivity of results to this assumption, a 0.1% per annum increase in the discount rate for our U.K. plans would reduce the value of the liabilities and therefore increase the pension surplus by approximately $2.7 million and result in the projected 2026 income statement credit being broadly unchanged.
Inflation rate
36
In September 2019, the UK Statistics Authority announced plans to reform the RPI inflation index. On November 25, 2020, the government and UK Statistics Authority confirmed these plans to reform the RPI index to bring it into line with the CPIH index from 2030, with no compensation for the holders of index-linked gilts. Inflation measured by the CPIH is consistently significantly lower than that measured by RPI, and therefore, these plans imply a significant expected reduction in RPI inflation from 2030 onwards. As a result we have taken a stepped approach and used different inflation rates pre and post 2030.
To indicate the sensitivity of results to the CPI assumption, a 0.1% per annum decrease in all CPI-linked assumptions, (including pension increases) for our U.K. plan, would reduce the value of the liabilities and therefore increase the pension surplus at December 31, 2025 by approximately $1.3 million and increase the projected 2026 income statement credit by approximately $0.1 million.
Pension increases
The pension increase assumptions have been set with reference to the corresponding CPI inflation assumption and take account of the caps and floors applicable to the various components of pension indexation.
Life expectancy
The life expectancies of male and female members aged 65 on 31 December 2025 are assumed to be 20.2 and 22.8 years, respectively, with the life expectancies of male and female members aged 65 on 31 December 2045 assumed to be 21.4 and 24.2 years, respectively.
To indicate the sensitivity of results to the life expectancy assumption, a one year increase in assumed life expectancy on the U.K. plan could increase the value of the liabilities and therefore decrease the pension surplus at December 31, 2025 by approximately $6.7 million and decrease the projected 2026 income statement credit by approximately $0.7 million.
Expected rate of return
Our expected rate of return on plan assets for our U.K. plans was 5.30% in 2025, 5.80% in 2024 and 4.80% in 2023. The expected rate of return on our U.S. plans was n/a in 2025, 2024, and 2023. The expected rate of return is designed to be a long-term assumption that may be subject to considerable year-to-year variance from actual returns. In developing the expected long-term rate of return, we considered our historical returns, with consideration given to forecast economic conditions, our asset allocations, input from external consultants and broader longer-term market indices.
See ITEM 8, Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding pension and other post-retirement plans.

Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
Market risk is the potential economic loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and market prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and changes in the market value of equity instruments. We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign exchange, commodity prices and interest rates. Counterparties to all derivative contracts are major financial institutions. All instruments are entered into for other than trading purposes. The major accounting policies and utilization of these instruments is described more fully in ITEM 8, Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign currency risk
We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Periodically, we use derivative financial instruments to manage these risks. The functional currencies of our foreign operating locations are generally the local currency in the country of domicile. We manage these operating activities at the local level and revenues, costs, assets and liabilities are generally denominated in local currencies, thereby mitigating the risk associated with changes in foreign exchange. However, our results of operations and assets and liabilities are reported in U.S. dollars and thus will fluctuate with changes in exchange rates between such local currencies and the U.S. dollar.
To hedge foreign currency risks, we enter into short duration currency contracts. The below table details the foreign currency contracts which we have in place over sales and purchases. Changes in the fair value of all derivatives are recognized immediately in the income statement unless the derivative qualifies as a hedge of future cash flows. Gains and losses related to a hedge are deferred and recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and are subsequently recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Statements of Income when the hedged item affects earnings.

Purchase hedges Euros Canadian dollars Australian dollars

38
Commodity price risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in the prices of certain raw materials that are significant to our operations, including magnesium, zirconium-based inputs, certain rare earth metals, carbon fiber and primary aluminum. With the exception of primary aluminum, there are no deep, liquid financial markets available to hedge price risk for these materials, and we generally do not use derivative instruments to manage these exposures.
Prices for magnesium, zirconium-based inputs and carbon fiber have been volatile in recent years, reflecting supply-chain disruptions, energy costs, geopolitical factors and changes in global demand. Although we seek to mitigate short-term volatility through fixed-price or time-limited supply arrangements for a portion of our requirements, we remain exposed over time to sustained increases in input costs. Our ability to maintain margins therefore depends in part on our ability to pass through significant cost increases to customers, particularly for carbon fiber composite cylinders and zirconium and magnesium-based products. In certain periods, we have increased physical purchases of selected raw materials to manage availability or mitigate near-term price increases, which can increase working capital requirements and cash outflows and may result in higher utilization of our revolving credit facilities.
Primary aluminum is a globally traded commodity with active financial markets, and pricing for many of our aluminum purchases is linked to prevailing market prices. Our Gas Cylinders segment purchases various aluminum alloys, typically priced based on a market-linked base price together with alloy premiums and conversion costs. We are exposed to aluminum price risk to the extent that changes in aluminum prices, regional premiums or conversion costs are not fully or timely reflected in customer pricing. Adverse movements in these factors could negatively affect our results of operations and cash flows.
Interest rate risk
As of December 31, 2025, we had both fixed rate and variable rate debt outstanding on our consolidated balance sheet. As a result of this exposure, we have in the past hedged interest payable under our floating rate indebtedness based on a combination of forward rate agreements, interest rate caps and swaps. There were no fixed or variable rate interest hedge agreements in place as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024.
Luxfer has exposure to variable interest rates when it draws down on its revolving credit facilities. As a result of this exposure, we may decide to hedge interest payable based on a combination of forward rate agreements, interest rate caps and swaps. We have also used fixed rate debt within our financing structure to mitigate volatility in interest rate movements as disclosed in Notes 12 and 13 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Luxfer Holdings PLC
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
41
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of Pension Benefit Obligations
As described in Notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had pension benefit obligations of $213.4 million as of December 31, 2025. As disclosed by management, the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to the pension benefit obligations are determined from actuarial valuations. Inherent in the valuation of pension benefit obligations are assumptions, including: (i) discount rates; (ii) inflation rates; (iii) pension increases; and (iv) life expectancy. Differences in actual experience or changes in these assumptions can have a material impact on the pension benefit obligations.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the pension benefit obligations is a critical audit matter are: (i) the significant judgment made by management, including the use of management’s specialists, when determining the pension benefit obligations; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions related to discount rates, inflation rates, pension increases, and life expectancy; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the pension benefit obligations. These procedures also included, among others, testing the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in the valuation of the pension benefit obligations. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in (i) testing management’s process for estimating the pension benefit obligations, (ii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to discount rates, inflation rates, pension increases, and life expectancy and (iii) assessing the appropriateness of management’s methodology in line with the requirements of ASC 715 Compensation — Retirement Benefits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business description
Luxfer Holdings PLC is a global industrial company focused on niche applications in advanced materials engineering. We develop and manufacture high-performance materials, components, and high-pressure gas containment solutions for customers operating in defense, first response and healthcare, transportation, and specialty industrial markets. During 2025, Luxfer operated through three business segments: Elektron, Gas Cylinders, and Graphic Arts. On July 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., and following the transaction, Luxfer now operates through two reportable business segments: Elektron and Gas Cylinders.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Luxfer Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries (collectively "we," "our," "Luxfer" or "the Company") that we control. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized profits arising from intra-company transactions, have been eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and are presented in U.S. dollars ("USD"). The books of the Company's non-U.S. entities are converted to USD at each reporting period date in accordance with the accounting policy below. The functional currency of the holding company, Luxfer Holdings PLC, is USD and that of its U.K. subsidiaries is British pound sterling ("GBP"), being the most appropriate currency for those particular operations.
Discontinued operations and businesses held-for-sale
Certain amounts relating to businesses that have been, or are expected to be disposed of are recorded within assets or liabilities held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets, and within net loss / income from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income, when the criteria for discontinued operations are met.
Fiscal year
Our fiscal year ends on December 31.
Use of estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include our assessment of property, plant and equipment, right of use asset valuations and impairment, loss contingencies, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, estimated selling proceeds and valuation assumptions for assets classified as held for sale, contingent liabilities, income taxes and pension benefits. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition-date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The measurement of non-controlling interest is at fair value and is determined on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the net of the fair value of identifiable tangible net assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of the last day of the third quarter. Goodwill impairment testing is performed by first conducting a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, the Company may determine that a quantitative impairment test is not required. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment for one or more reporting units and perform a quantitative impairment test directly.
On the last day of the third quarter in 2025, management carried out the qualitative review on all reporting units with a goodwill balance. No indicators of impairment were identified in these reporting units, therefore the Company concluded its review at this point and was not required to perform a quantitative review.
Other intangible assets are measured initially at cost or, when acquired in a business combination, at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as shown in the table below.
Customer relationships 15 - 25 years
Technology and trading related 5 - 25 years
The carrying values are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Reviews are made annually of the estimated remaining lives and residual values of the patents and trademarks.
Investments in affiliates
The company owns interest in the following affiliate:
Nikkei-MEL Co. Limited Japan Ordinary shares 50% Joint venture Equity method

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the particular asset. The depreciation expense during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $9.1 million, $9.3 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:
Freehold buildings 10 - 33 years
Leasehold land and buildings The lesser of life of lease or freehold rate
Machinery and equipment 3 - 25 years
Including:
Chemical production plant and robotics 7 - 10 years
Other production machinery 5 - 10 years
Furniture, fittings, storage and equipment 3 - 10 years
Computer equipment 5 years
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Reviews are made annually of the estimated remaining lives and residual values of individual productive assets, taking account of commercial and technological obsolescence, as well as normal wear and tear.
We review the carrying value for any individual asset or asset group for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, and where the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written-down to its estimated recoverable amount. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets.The measurement of impairment requires us to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets.
Impairments
The Company will recognize impairments in relation to property, plant and equipment, investments, goodwill, other identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with the above policies. Impairments relating to restructuring activities, incurred to exit an activity or location, will be recorded within the restructuring line on the Statements of Income. Other impairments will be recorded within the impairment charges line on the Statements of Income. Impairments related to discontinued operations will be recorded within the net loss from discontinued operations line on the Statements of Income.
As part of the Company’s strategic review commenced in December 2023, management determined that the Graphic Arts business no longer aligned with the Company’s overall strategy and initiated a process to divest the business. As a result of this decision and its impact on the expected hold period of the assets, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $12.7 million in 2023, recorded within impairment charges in the consolidated statement of income. This charge related to right-of-use assets of $1.6 million and property, plant and equipment of $11.1 million within the Graphic Arts segment.
In 2024, the Company initiated a formal sale process for the Graphic Arts business with the intention of divesting the business. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 and ASC 360-10, the Graphic Arts business was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024; however, it did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. During 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $9.8 million on the held-for-sale asset group, recorded within disposal-related costs on the consolidated statement of income. This loss comprised $7.5 million relating to inventory, and $2.3 million relating to right-of-use assets, reflecting the remeasurement of the asset group to estimated fair value less costs to sell based on the expected consideration to be received.
In addition, the Company recognized asset impairments within restructuring charges of $6.5 million, $2.8 million and $3.2 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These impairments primarily related to the continued execution of restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing the Company’s fixed cost base and realigning its business operations.

Impairments (continued)
Within discontinued operations, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $2.6 million in 2022 relating to a right-of-use asset previously sublet to Neos International Limited, representing building leases retained on the sale of Superform U.K. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized disposal-related credits of $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in relation to the previously impaired asset.
Also within discontinued operations in 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $2.8 million on a held-for-sale asset group relating to the Superform business. This loss was recorded to remeasure the carrying amount of the asset group to estimated fair value less costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360, reflecting revised expectations regarding the sale. The loss comprised $1.4 million relating to inventory, $1.2 million relating to right-of-use assets and $0.2 million relating to property, plant and equipment.
Revenue recognition
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. There is no variable consideration or obligations for returns, refunds, or other related obligations in the Company’s contracts.
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and may include a requirement of payment in advance. In general, our payment terms are 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the following sources and are recognized when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good or service to a customer:
Product revenues
We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue is recognized when the following are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) shipment or delivery has occurred (depending on the terms of the sale), which is when the transfer of product or control occurs; (iii) our price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Practical Expedients
The Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations for contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash is recognized separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash balances were $2.4 million at December 31, 2025, and $2.2 million at December 31, 2024. The main amounts held in escrow were held in relation to the closure of Luxfer Gas Cylinders France.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Raw materials are valued on a first-in, first-out basis. Strategic purchases of inventories in order to secure supply and reduce the impact of price volatility on the cost of inventories are valued on a weighted-average cost basis. Work in progress and finished goods costs comprise direct materials including, where applicable, direct labor costs, an apportionment of production overheads and any other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories are reviewed on a regular basis, and we make allowance for excess or obsolete inventories and write-down to net realizable value based primarily on committed sales prices and our estimates of expected and future product demand and related pricing.
Research and Development
Included within research and development costs are directly attributable salaries, materials and consumables, as well as third-party contractor fees and research costs. These costs are expensed as incurred.

Foreign currencies
Transactions in currencies other than an operation's functional currency are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of transactions. At each balance sheet date, the foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of each operation are translated into the functional currency of that operation at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.
All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income, with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity. These differences on foreign currency borrowings are taken directly to equity until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those borrowings are also included in equity.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences that arise, if any, are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of equity. Such translation differences are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which the Company either loses control of the operation or liquidation occurs.
During 2025, the average USD/GBP sterling exchange rate was £0.7565 compared to £0.7821 in 2024, representing a strengthening of GBP against the U.S. dollar. This movement had a positive impact of $4.3 million on revenue and $0.4 million on operating income. Based on 2025 revenue and operating income levels, a £0.05 adverse movement in the USD/GBP exchange rate (i.e., GBP weakening) would be expected to decrease revenue by approximately $6.8 million and operating income by approximately $0.6 million.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. When the Company does not believe that, on the basis of available information, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be fully recovered, it recognizes a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactments date.
Furthermore, a tax benefit from a tax position may be recognized in the financial statements only if it is more-likely-than-not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant tax authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. The tax benefit recognized, when the likelihood of realization is more likely-than-not (i.e. greater than 50 percent), is measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement.

Employee benefit plans
The Company operates funded defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., the U.S. and France. The levels of funding are determined by periodic actuarial valuations that take into account changes in actuarial assumptions, including discount rates and expected returns on plan assets. The assets of the plans are generally held in separate Trustee-administered funds. The Company also operates defined contribution plans in the U.K., the U.S., Australia and Canada.
Actuarial assumptions are updated annually and are disclosed in Note 15. We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits annually in the fourth quarter each year (“mark-to-market adjustment”) and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change, as they may each year. The remaining components of pension expense, including service and interest costs and estimated return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
Payments to defined contribution plans are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Commitments and contingencies
Loss contingencies are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
In November 2018, an alleged explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Grand View, Idaho, reportedly causing property damage, personal injury, and one fatality. The Company had contracted with a service company for removal and disposal of certain waste resulting from the magnesium powder manufacturing operations at the Reade facility in Manchester, New Jersey. The Company believes this service company, in turn, contracted with the third-party disposal company, at whose facility the explosion occurred, for treatment and disposal of the waste. In November 2020, we were named as a defendant in three lawsuits in relation to the incident – one by the third-party disposal company, one by the estate of the decedent, and one by an injured employee of the third-party disposal company. The three lawsuits were administratively consolidated and are collectively referred to as the US Ecology case. 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. The Company recognized a gain contingency related to the insurance payout receivable in connection with the case. Based on the terms of the insurance policy and communications with the insurer, management determined that the receipt of the claim proceeds was virtually certain and therefore recognized an asset in other receivables as of December 31, 2024, with a corresponding liability recorded in other current liabilities.
Additionally, within discontinued operations, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision in relation to dilapidation obligations associated with the former Superform U.K. site sold in 2021, for which the Group remains a guarantor under the relevant lease arrangements following disposal of the business. The obligation reflects management’s best estimate of the costs required to settle the remaining property reinstatement and exit obligations.
Share-based compensation
We account for share-based compensation awards on a fair value basis at the grant date. The estimated grant date fair value of each option award is recognized in income on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The estimated fair value of each option award is calculated using either the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte-Carlo simulation, both of which are subjective and involve the application of significant estimates and assumptions, including the expected term of the award, implied volatility, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Restricted share awards and units are recorded as compensation cost on an accelerated basis over the requisite service periods based on the market value on the date of the grant.
Performance share units ("PSU") are stock awards where the ultimate number of shares issued will be contingent on the Company's performance against certain financial performance targets. The fair value of each PSU is based on the market value on the date of grant. We recognize expense based upon the fair value of the awards on the grant date and the estimated vesting of the PSUs granted. The estimated vesting of the PSUs is based on the probability of achieving certain financial performance thresholds over the specified performance period.

Trade receivables and concentration of credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of accounts receivable amounts that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.
Estimates are used to determine the allowance. It is based on assessment of anticipated receipts and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers. However, we mitigate our exposure to credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. No individual customer represented more than 10% of our revenue or accounts receivable. The concentration of credit risks from financial instruments related to the markets we serve is not expected to materially and adversely affect our consolidated financial position, cash flows or future results of operations.
Derivative financial instruments
We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities (within accounts and other receivables or other current liabilities) at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any changes in fair value are reported in the income statement immediately in cost of sales. We use derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging commodity price risk and currency exposures, which exist as part of ongoing business operations.
New accounting standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires new and enhanced disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid, disaggregation by jurisdiction, and the effective tax rate reconciliation. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 beginning with its annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting standards which have been early adopted
None
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating its impact and will adopt this guidance in accordance with the required effective date, beginning with its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2027.
The Company has reviewed other recently issued accounting standards and does not expect any other standards that have been issued but are not yet effective to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
