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, 2025. 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.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company determined that Superform no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale. Accordingly, Superform’s results of operations have been reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior-period amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows and related disclosures have been restated to conform to the current-period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on previously reported net income or total cash flows. The classification of Superform’s assets and liabilities as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has not been revised, as the held-for-sale criteria were met as of that date. See Note 11 Discontinued operations for further information.
The prior-year comparative results also include the results of the Graphic Arts business, which was sold on July 2, 2025. As the disposal did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations, the historical results of Graphic Arts remain within continuing operations. Accordingly, there are no corresponding Graphic Arts operating results included in the current-year periods.
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.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a 13-week quarter basis, ending on a Sunday. The Second Quarter 2026, ended on June 28, 2026, and the Second Quarter 2025, ended on June 29, 2025.
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.

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:

5. Defined benefit pension credit
On January 8, 2026, the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan (“LGPP”) entered into a full buy-in contract with a U.K. insurer, Aviva. The buy-in is designed to substantially match the Plan’s benefit obligations with corresponding cash flow payments from the insurer, with effect from March 2026 payroll, in exchange for an agreed premium.
The buy-in does not constitute a settlement event under ASC 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits and therefore does not require remeasurement of the Plan’s funded status for the Quarter ended March 29, 2026. Accordingly, the net defined benefit asset recognized at June 28, 2026 remains consistent with the year-end measurement as of December 31, 2025.
The defined benefit pension charge was $

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 for the first six months ended June 28, 2026, was
In 2026 the rate was impacted by non-deductible expenses. Cash income taxes paid, net of refunds, are disclosed within supplementary cash flow information in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

11. Discontinued Operations
Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business, which historically operated from sites in the U.S. and the U.K., was previously included in the Gas Cylinders segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, the results of the Superform business were then presented as discontinued operations.
During the second quarter of 2026, following a period of active marketing in which the Company did not identify a suitable buyer, the Company ceased actively marketing the Superform U.S. business for sale. Improved performance, supported by stronger conditions in the aerospace market, was also considered in reaching this decision. As a result, the Superform U.S. business no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale or discontinued operations. Accordingly, Superform’s results have been reclassified to continuing operations for all periods presented, and Superform is presented as a separate reportable segment.
At December 31, 2025, the Superform U.S. business met the criteria for classification as held for sale and its assets and liabilities were presented within Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at December 31, 2025 were as follows:

The fair value measurement was determined using a nonrecurring fair value approach under ASC 820. Because 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.

The expected life of the share options is based on historical data and current expectations, and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

14. Segmental Information
We classify our operations into business segments based primarily on shared economic characteristics, including the nature of the products and services; the production processes; the type or class of customer; the methods used to distribute products or provide services; and the nature of the regulatory environment.
For the Second Quarter ended June 28, 2026, the Company operated business units, which comprise reportable segments within continuing operations: Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Superform. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment, Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech aggregate into the Elektron segment, and Superform forms the Superform segment.
Prior to its disposal on July 2, 2025, the Luxfer Graphic Arts business was reported as a separate business unit and reportable segment following its disaggregation from the Elektron segment as of December 31, 2023. As a result, Graphic Arts is included within the prior year comparative information.
During the Second Quarter of 2026, the Company ceased actively marketing the Superform business for sale and determined that the business no longer met the criteria for classification as held-for-sale. As the Company is no longer pursuing the disposal of Superform, the business is no longer presented as a discontinued operation and has been reclassified into continuing operations as a separate reportable segment. Prior period comparative information has been restated to reflect this presentation.
A summary of the operations of the Company’s reportable segments within continuing operations is provided below.
Gas Cylinders segment
The Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized cylinders using carbon composite materials and aluminum alloys. Products include pressurized cylinders for self-contained breathing apparatus (“SCBA”) used by firefighters and other emergency responders; cylinders for the containment of oxygen and other medical gases used in healthcare and aviation applications; aerospace and aviation cylinders used in aircraft safety systems, including emergency slide inflation and onboard oxygen storage; cylinders and systems for alternative fuel vehicles, including compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and hydrogen; space-related cylinders used in launch vehicle applications; and cylinders used in specialty industrial applications.
Elektron segment
The Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium. Key product lines include advanced lightweight magnesium alloys used across aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial applications; magnesium powders used in aircraft countermeasure flares and heater meal applications; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used in automotive emissions control, industrial catalysis, pharmaceuticals, and other specialty applications.
Superform segment
The Superform segment manufactures highly engineered, superformed aluminum and titanium components primarily for aerospace applications. Its products include complex, lightweight components used in aircraft structures and other applications requiring high-performance formed metal components.
Graphic Arts segment
The Graphic Arts segment provided a range of pre-sensitized magnesium, copper, and zinc plates, along with associated chemicals, used in the production of foil-stamping and embossing dies. The segment also manufactured non-sensitized polished brass and magnesium plates for computer numerical control (“CNC”) engraving and offered advisory services for turnkey engraving operations, including etching machines, computer-to-plate (“CtP”) machines, exposure units, and film setters. The Company completed the sale of the Graphic Arts business on July 2, 2025.
Other
Other primarily represents unallocated corporate expenses and includes non-service-related defined benefit pension cost or credit.

14. Segmental Information (continued)
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 Second quarter and first six months of the year ended of 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

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 $
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 $
Also, in 2025, the Company recognized a provision of $

On July 26, 2026, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Double Eagle Acquisition Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Buyer is a newly formed holding company owned by funds managed by Wynnchurch Capital L.P. (“Wynnchurch”). Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Buyer will acquire the entire issued share capital of the Company (the “Transaction”), pursuant to a court sanctioned English law scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme of Arrangement”).
The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) (i) approved and declared the Transaction Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction, the Scheme of Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated thereby fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, (ii) declared that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders that the Company enter into the Transaction Agreement and consummate the Transaction, the Scheme of Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated thereby, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (iii) directed that an application be made to the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the “Court”) to seek directions relating to the Scheme of Arrangement and (iv) resolved that it will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of all of the resolutions comprising the Company Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) at duly held meetings of such shareholders for such purposes.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, at the effective time of the Transaction (the “Effective Time”), all of the ordinary shares of the Company then outstanding will be transferred from the Company’s shareholders to Buyer, and the Company’s shareholders will be entitled, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, to receive $
Subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed not to solicit, initiate, knowingly induce, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, relate to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), or take certain other restricted actions in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company receives a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Transaction Agreement that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), and, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the following actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, then the Company may take certain actions to participate in discussions and negotiations and furnish information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal.
Consummation of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, including (i) obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and approvals and clearance under the antitrust laws and foreign investment laws of certain other jurisdictions, (iii) the absence of certain orders or laws prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, and (iv) the sanctioning of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court and the delivery of the Court order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales. The obligation of each party to consummate the Transaction is also subject to other customary closing conditions, including the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company, the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality standards set forth in the Transaction Agreement, and compliance in all material respects with the other party’s obligations under the Transaction Agreement.
The Transaction Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for the Company and Buyer, including (i) by the mutual written consent of the parties, (ii) if the closing does not occur by February 26, 2027 (the “End Date”), (iii) a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final and non-appealable order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, (iv) if the Court affirmatively declines or refuses to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement, (v) the meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held as the Court may direct in relation to the Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme Meeting”) and the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be convened in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement (the “Company GM”) have been held and the Company Shareholder Approval has not been obtained, (vi) by Buyer, if the Company Board effects an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) or if the Company materially or intentionally breaches its non-solicitation obligations, (vii) by the Company, if the Company Board effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of a Superior Proposal in accordance with the Transaction Agreement, or (viii) if the other party breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the conditions to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Transaction Agreement to not be satisfied, and such party fails to cure such breach.

16. Subsequent Events (continued)
Upon termination of the Transaction Agreement in accordance with its terms, under specified circumstances, including (i) by the Company to accept a Superior Proposal, or (ii) by Buyer if the Company Board changes, withholds or withdraws its recommendation to the Company’s shareholders or the Company materially or intentionally breaches its non-solicitation obligations, in each case, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company will be required to pay Buyer a fee (the “Company Termination Payment”) of $
If the Company terminates the Transaction Agreement (i) due to Buyer breaching its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the conditions to the closing of the Transaction to not be satisfied and fails to cure such breach or (ii) if all conditions to the Transaction have been and continue to be satisfied (subject to customary exceptions), and Buyer fails to consummate the Transaction after receiving written notice from the Company, then Buyer will be required to pay the Company a fee (the “Buyer Termination Payment”) equal to $
Buyer has obtained an equity financing commitment from a fund managed by Wynnchurch and a debt financing commitment from funds managed by an institutional lender for the Transaction, the aggregate proceeds of which will be sufficient for Buyer to pay the aggregate Consideration, any amounts required to repay the Company’s existing indebtedness as set forth in the Transaction Agreement, and all related fees and expenses of Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. The obligations of the equity investor to provide equity financing under the equity commitment letter are subject to customary conditions and the obligations of the lenders to provide debt financing under the debt commitment letter are subject to customary conditions. The consummation of the Transaction is not subject to any financing condition.
The equity investor has also provided a guarantee in favor of the Company, to guarantee, subject to certain limitations set forth therein (including the satisfaction or waiver of certain of the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement), the payment by Buyer of the Buyer Termination Payment and certain indemnity and reimbursement obligations of Buyer to the extent payable by Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement.
Concurrent with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, Buyer entered into Voting Agreements with certain executive officers of the Company, solely in their capacity as shareholders of the Company providing that, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, such shareholders of the Company will support the Transaction and the transactions contemplated thereby, including by voting their ordinary shares in favor of the Scheme of Arrangement at the Scheme Meeting and the shareholder resolution at the Company GM.

Net sales
On a comparable basis, excluding the impact of foreign currency movements and sales attributable to Superform and Graphic Arts, net sales decreased by 3.1% in the second quarter and by 5.8% in the first six months of 2026. Foreign currency movements reduced net sales by $0.6 million in the second quarter and increased net sales by $0.6 million in the first six months of 2026. Combined sales of Superform and Graphic Arts for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 were $2.2 million and $9.5 million and $4.0 million and $17.5 million in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Revenue was positively impacted in the quarter from:
• |
Increased sales of magnesium powders for defense use; |
• |
Strong demand for industrial gas cylinders; |
• |
Increased sales of Alternative Fuel (“AF”) cylinders; and |
• |
Continued strength in sales of magnesium aerospace alloys. |
These increases were offset by:
• |
Lower sales of flameless ration heaters for Meals Ready to Eat (“MREs”) with historically high order levels in the prior year; |
• |
Lower sales of aerospace cylinders, including those serving commercial aircraft and space exploration programs; |
• |
Reduced sales of SCBA cylinders; |
• |
Lower sales of RotaMag® magnesium alloys used in high-performance automotive applications; and |
• |
Reduced sales of zirconium used in industrial applications. |
Further to the above, the first six months of 2026 were also significantly affected by lower sales of zirconium products used for pharmaceutical applications and automotive catalysis.
Gross profit
Excluding Superform and Graphic Arts, gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by 2.3 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. The increases in both periods were primarily the result of pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by adverse sales mix and inflationary cost pressures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
Excluding Superform and Graphic Arts, SG&A costs as a percentage of sales in 2026 from 2025 have increased by 0.7 percentage points and 0.9 percentage points in the second quarter and first six months respectively. This is a result of inflationary cost rises and lower sales in the quarter as explained above.
Research and development costs
Excluding Superform and Graphic Arts, research and development costs as a percentage of sales increased by 0.6 percentage points in both the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, primarily as a result an increase in magnesium alloy R&D activities.
Restructuring charges
The $1.6 million and $3.8 million of restructuring charges recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, relate to the continued execution of previously announced restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and enhancing operational alignment, including footprint consolidation projects impacting both North American gas cylinders and magnesium powders operations.
The $2.0 million and $1.8 million of restructuring charges recognized in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, respectively, predominantly related to initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and generating savings through enhanced operational alignment, particularly through the reduction of our North American Gas Cylinders footprint. As part of these initiatives, we recognized accelerated depreciation charges of $1.7 million related to property, plant and equipment in the second quarter and first six months of 2025, in accordance with ASC 360. These charges resulted from the strategic decision to relocate certain operations, which shortened the expected useful lives of the affected assets.
Disposal related costs
Disposal related costs of $0.1 million in the second quarter and first six months respectively of 2025 were incurred in relation to the divestiture of our Graphic Arts segment.
Loss on disposal of assets held for sale
Loss on held-for-sale asset group decreased by $2.8 million in both the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a $2.8 million loss related to the Superform asset group to adjust its carrying amount to estimated fair value less costs to sell, reflecting revised expectations regarding the sale. No comparable charge was recognized in 2026.
Other Costs
In the second quarter and first six months of 2026, other costs of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, comprised primarily legal and due diligence fees, together with financial advisory and other professional fees, incurred in connection with the Company’s strategic review and related transaction process.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 11.1%, to $1.0 million in the Second Quarter of 2026 from $0.9 million in the Second Quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher borrowings incurred in relation to higher inventory levels as we executed footprint consolidation projects. Net interest expense was $1.7 million in both the first six months of 2026 and 2025.
Defined benefit pension credit
The defined benefit pension charge was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a $0.6 million credit in the second quarter of 2025. For the first six months of 2026, the defined benefit pension charge was $0.1 million, compared to a $1.2 million credit in the first six months of 2025. The year-over-year movements primarily reflect lower expected returns on plan assets compared to the prior year periods. In addition, on January 8, 2026, the Trustee of the Luxfer Group Pension Plan entered into a full buy-in contract with an insurer, which is designed to substantially match the Plan’s future benefit obligations with corresponding insurance cash flows. While the buy-in does not constitute a settlement event under ASC 715 and therefore did not result in a remeasurement of the Plan’s funded status, it has the effect of reducing future variability in pension income. Costs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million were incurred in connection with the buy-in during the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, which offset the underlying pension credit.
Provision for income taxes
The movement in the year to date statutory effective tax rate from 34.1% in 2025, to 29.4% in 2026, was primarily due to non-deductible expenses in both years.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
The following tables of non-GAAP summary financial data present a reconciliation of net income and diluted earnings per ordinary share to adjusted net income, adjusted EBITA, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per ordinary share, adjusted provision for income taxes and adjusted effective tax rate, for the periods presented, being the most comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA are key performance indicators (“KPIs”) used by the investment community and that such presentation enhances 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, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA or adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as alternatives 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 classification as a discontinued operation, management believes it is appropriate to separately present the results of Graphic Arts in the tables below to provide a more complete financial summary for the periods presented.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company ceased actively marketing the Superform business for sale and, as a result, Superform no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale or discontinued operations. The decision to cease active marketing reflected, in part, improved performance supported by stronger conditions in the aerospace market. Prior-period amounts in the tables below have been restated to reflect Superform within continuing operations and its separate presentation in these tables. Notwithstanding this change in classification, management continues to consider Superform to be a non-core business. Accordingly, the tables below separately present the results of Superform to provide investors with greater transparency regarding the performance of the Company’s core continuing operations.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of our reportable segments, Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Superform. The Graphic Arts business was sold on July 2, 2025 and is therefore excluded from the current period discussion.
Adjusted EBITA, which is our segment income metric, represents net income adjusted for share-based compensation charges, restructuring charges, loss on disposal of assets held-for-sale, disposal costs, other costs, net interest expenses, defined benefit pension charge / credit, provision for taxes and amortization. A reconciliation to pre-tax income can be found in Note 14 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.

Net sales
The 1.7% decrease in Gas Cylinders sales in the second quarter of 2026 from 2025 was primarily the result of lower sales of cylinders serving space exploration programs and SCBA cylinders, partially offset by strong demand for industrial cylinders and increased sales of Alternative Fuel (“AF”) cylinders.
Further to the above, sales in the first six months of 2026 decreased by 0.1%, with strong demand for industrial and AF cylinders substantially offsetting lower sales of SCBA cylinders, aerospace cylinders serving space exploration programs and cylinders used in aircraft safety systems.
Adjusted EBITA
The 1.6 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily the result of adverse sales mix and inflationary cost pressures, partially offset by pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives. For the first six months of 2026, adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.6 percentage points, as the benefits of pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives more than offset adverse sales mix and inflationary cost pressures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was affected for the same reasons as adjusted EBITA.

Net sales
The 5.6% decrease in Elektron sales in the second quarter of 2026 from 2025 was primarily the result of lower sales of flameless ration heaters for Meals Ready to Eat (“MREs”), RotaMag® magnesium alloys and zirconium products, partially offset by increased sales of magnesium powders for defense use and magnesium aerospace alloys.
Further to the above, the 10.2% decrease in sales in the first six months of 2026 was also significantly affected by lower sales of zirconium products used for pharmaceutical applications.
Adjusted EBITA
The 1.9 percentage point and 2.0 percentage point increases in adjusted EBITA for Elektron as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025 were primarily the result of pricing actions and cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by adverse sales mix and inflationary cost pressures.

Net sales
The 15.4% decrease in Superform sales in the second quarter of 2026 from 2025 was primarily the result of lower sales of components serving defense aerospace, automotive and rail applications, partially offset by increased sales of components serving commercial aerospace applications.
Further to the above, sales in the first six months of 2026 decreased by 2.4%, as increased sales of commercial aerospace components and tooling were more than offset by lower sales of components serving defense aerospace, automotive and rail applications.
Adjusted EBITA
The 11.2 percentage point and 5.0 percentage point increases in adjusted EBITA for Superform as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025, were primarily the result of a more favorable sales mix, together with lower manufacturing fixed costs and improved production cost performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was affected for the same reasons as adjusted EBITA.
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. Our principal liquidity needs are:
|
• |
funding acquisitions, including deferred contingent consideration payments; |
|
• |
capital expenditure requirements; |
|
• |
payment of shareholder dividends; |
|
• |
servicing interest borrowings under the Senior Facilities Agreement, in addition to commitment fees; |
|
• |
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 liquidity and available credit facilities to meet our requirements. In June 2026, the Company repaid the $25.0 million Loan Note at maturity using drawings under its Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 28, 2026, the Revolving Credit Facility had available headroom of $65.8 million. In July 2025, we completed a refinance of our shelf facility, with terms remaining substantially unchanged and maturity extended to July 2030.
We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Facilities Agreement and, prior to its repayment in June 2026, the Loan Notes throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to June 28, 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
Operating activities
Cash used by operating activities in the first six months of 2026 was a $1.4 million outflow compared to a $6.6 million inflow in 2025. 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 on held-for-sale asset group and net changes to assets and liabilities.
Investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $4.7 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $3.3 million in 2025. Capital expenditure increased by $1.4 million in the first six months.
Financing activities
In the first six months of 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million, (2025: $3.2 million used by financing activities). We had net drawdowns of $44.5 million on our revolving credit facility and repaid $25.0 million of loan notes (2025: $0.6 million drawdown of overdraft and $4.9 million drawdown on our revolving credit facility). Dividend payments of $6.9 million (2025: $7.0 million), equating to $0.26 per ordinary share respectively and we paid out $2.0 million, (2025: $0.6 million) in settling share based compensation and $1.4 million, (2025: $1.1 million) in repurchasing our own shares as part of the share buyback program which equates to 100,000 shares (2025: 90,000 shares). We have suspended repurchases of our ordinary shares under the share buyback program pending consummation of the Transaction.
Capital Resources
Dividends
We paid year-to-date dividends in 2026 of $6.9 million and declared an additional $3.5 million after the quarter (2025: $7.0 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.

Off-balance sheet measures
At June 28, 2026, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements other than the bonding facilities disclosed in Note 15.
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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026, 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 six months ended June 28, 2026. For additional information, refer to Item 7A of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026. 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 June 28, 2026, 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 June 28, 2026, 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 June 28, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026, except as described below.
Risks Related to the Transaction
If the Transaction does not close, or is delayed, we may experience financial and operational disruptions. In addition our stock price may decline if the Transaction is perceived as uncertain to close.
On July 26, 2026, we entered into the Transaction Agreement with Buyer, pursuant to which Buyer will acquire the entire issued share capital of the Company pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement. The closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, many of which are not within our full control. We may be unable to obtain and satisfy, or experience delays in obtaining and satisfying, required regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals, and other closing conditions. In addition, both we and Buyer may terminate the Transaction Agreement for reasons specified therein. The announcement and pendency of the Transaction could adversely affect our business and stock price, including if the Transaction does not close or is delayed, for reasons including the following:
|
• |
Uncertainty about the effect of the Transaction may impair our ability to retain and hire key personnel, and could cause customers, suppliers, financial counterparties, and others to seek to negotiate changes or alter their present existing business relationships with us. |
|
• |
The pursuit of the Transaction may place a significant burden on management and internal resources, which may have a negative impact on our ongoing business. It may also divert management’s time and attention from the day-to-day operation of our business and the execution of our other strategic initiatives. This could adversely affect our financial results. |
|
• |
The Transaction Agreement restricts us, without the consent of Buyer, from taking certain actions until the Effective Time or the termination of the Transaction Agreement. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and taking other actions with respect to our business that we may consider advantageous. |
|
• |
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Transaction. Many of the fees and costs will be payable by us even if the Transaction is not completed. In addition, we may be required to pay a termination fee of up to $18,000,000 to Buyer and reimburse certain out-of-pocket expenses if the Transaction Agreement is terminated for certain specified reasons. |
|
• |
The Transaction may not occur on the expected timeline because of a delay in receiving required regulatory approvals, shareholder approvals or other reasons. Any delay or inability to close the Transaction may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline. |
Lawsuits may be filed against us and the members of the Company Board arising out of the proposed Transaction, which may delay or prevent the proposed Transaction or otherwise negatively affect our business and operations.
Putative shareholder complaints, including shareholder class action complaints, and other complaints may be filed against us, the Company Board and others in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. The outcome of any such litigation is uncertain, and we may not be successful in defending against any such future claims. Lawsuits that may be filed against us, the Company Board or others could delay or prevent the Transaction from being completed, divert the attention of our management and employees away from our day-to-day business, and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If the Transaction is not consummated for any reason, litigation could be filed in connection with the failure to consummate the Transaction.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Not applicable.
Director and Officer Trading Arrangements
of Luxfer’s directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K) during the quarterly period covered by this Report.
