High-Performance Alloys: Supplying specialized aluminum plates and sheets for demanding aerospace applications.

When you're building a wing or a fuselage, you need materials that can handle extreme mechanical and thermal stress reliably. Constellium SE leverages its deep metallurgical expertise, often drawing from its work in space-grade aluminum, to supply these high-performance solutions. They offer specialized aluminum-lithium alloys, such as the 2195 and 2050 alloys, designed with a unique microstructure for superior strength and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, Constellium SE is actively working to expand the use of its Aheadd® CP1 alloy in additive manufacturing for defense and aerospace, part of a $2.1 million collaborative project funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense's Manufacturing Technology Office.

Circular Economy Focus: Offering low-carbon aluminum products with high post-consumer recycled content.

Constellium SE is putting serious capital behind its sustainability claims. They are actively building capacity to process more scrap, which is key to lowering the carbon footprint of their final product. For example, they inaugurated a new recycling center in Neuf-Brisach, France, a €130 million investment that increased their global recycling capacity to over 750,000 metric tons annually. This facility specifically enhances the recycling of automotive and packaging products by 75%. To show you the commitment to future targets, the company had a goal to increase recycled aluminum input to equal or higher than 685k mt by 2026, up from 649k mt in 2023. They are also pioneering low-carbon production methods, like completing their first industrial-scale hydrogen casting, which produced a 12-metric-ton aluminum slab.

Here are some key operational metrics from their recent performance, which underpins their ability to deliver on these value propositions:

Metric	Q3 2025 Actual	Year-to-Date (YTD) Q3 2025 Actual
Shipments (Thousand Metric Tons)	373	1.1 million
Revenue (Billions USD)	$2.2	$6.2 billion
Net Income (Millions USD)	$88 million	$162 million
Adjusted EBITDA (Millions USD)	$235 million	$566 million

Reliable Supply: Global production capacity of 1.1 million metric tons shipped year-to-date Q3 2025.

The proof of reliability is in the volume they move. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Constellium SE shipped 1.1 million metric tons, representing a 2% increase year-over-year. This volume was supported by strong execution, even while navigating a mixed macroeconomic environment. For the third quarter alone, shipments hit 373 thousand metric tons, a 6% increase over Q3 2024. This demonstrates the operational scale and the maturity of their global supply chain, which they tout as a key strength for meeting the demands of the aerospace sector's expected ramp-up.

The segment performance shows where this supply is going:

• Aerospace & Transportation (A&T) Segment Adjusted EBITDA: $90 million in Q3 2025.
• Packaging & Rolled Products (P&ARP) Segment Adjusted EBITDA: $82 million in Q3 2025.

Finance: review the Q4 2025 scrap spread benefit impact on the P&ARP segment by next Tuesday.

Constellium SE (CSTM) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Relationships

You're looking at how Constellium SE manages its relationships with the big players-the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers-who buy their specialized aluminum. This isn't a commodity play; it's about deep integration, especially in the high-stakes aerospace and automotive sectors. The company's strategy definitely hinges on keeping these key customers happy and locked in.

Dedicated Account Management: Serving major global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers directly.

Constellium SE structures its commercial approach around its end markets, meaning a significant portion of its revenue comes directly from these large industrial customers. You can see the scale of this focus by looking at the third quarter of 2025 segment results. The Automotive Structures & Industry (AS&I) segment, which deals heavily with automotive OEMs, brought in $409 million in revenue for Q3 2025. The Aerospace & Transportation (A&T) segment, serving aerospace OEMs, contributed $481 million in revenue that same quarter. This direct engagement model requires dedicated teams who understand the specific, often complex, needs of each major client.

Here's a quick look at the revenue scale from these key customer-facing segments in Q3 2025:

Segment	Q3 2025 Revenue (USD)	Q3 2025 Shipment Change vs. Prior Year
Aerospace & Transportation (A&T)	$481 million	Up 4% (Implied from segment data)
Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP)	$1,307 million	Up 5%
Automotive Structures & Industry (AS&I)	$409 million	Up 14%

The 14% year-over-year shipment increase in the AS&I segment for Q3 2025 suggests strong volume growth with automotive and industrial partners.

Co-development and Engineering: Working hand-in-hand with customers on new product design (e.g., battery enclosures).

The relationship goes beyond just supplying metal; it's about engineering solutions for future platforms. Constellium SE works closely with customers on next-generation components. The AS&I segment is key here, as it focuses on structural components where material innovation is critical, such as for electric vehicle battery enclosures. The strong shipment growth in AS&I in Q3 2025, up 14% year-over-year, reflects successful integration of new, engineered products into customer production lines. This co-development process locks in future business because the material specification becomes deeply embedded in the customer's design.

The company's focus is on commercial and capital discipline, which means these engineering efforts must translate directly into profitable volume.

Long-Term Contracts: Securing multi-year supply agreements, especially in aerospace and automotive.

To manage the cyclical nature of end markets and secure capacity, Constellium SE relies on long-term agreements. The aerospace market, which saw stable demand in Q3 2025, is a prime area for these multi-year commitments. The company explicitly notes that it attempts to respond to economic variability through the terms of its contracts with customers. These contracts provide revenue visibility, which is crucial for capital planning. While the exact value isn't public, the stability in the A&T segment revenue of $481 million in Q3 2025 is partly supported by these long-term supply relationships.

You can see the commitment to discipline in their financial management, too; they reduced leverage to 3.1x by September 30, 2025, partly by managing commercial terms effectively.

Technical Support: Providing deep materials science expertise to solve complex industrial challenges.

Constellium SE (CSTM) - Canvas Business Model: Channels

You're looking at how Constellium SE gets its advanced aluminum products into the hands of its diverse customer base, which spans from massive aerospace primes to everyday packaging converters. The channel strategy is clearly segmented to match the volume and complexity of the order.

Direct Sales Force: Primary channel for large-volume, long-term contracts with major manufacturers.

For your biggest customers-think major automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or aerospace giants like Airbus or Boeing-Constellium SE relies heavily on its internal, dedicated sales teams. This direct approach is essential for managing the complex specifications, long qualification cycles, and multi-year supply agreements that characterize those high-value segments. Honestly, you can't manage a multi-year supply of specialized automotive body sheet or aerospace alloys through a third party; it requires deep, direct technical partnership. This channel is geared toward securing the base volume that underpins their financial stability, like the $6.2 billion in revenue reported for the first nine months of 2025.

Global Distribution Network: For smaller industrial and transportation market customers.

For customers needing smaller volumes, standard industrial profiles, or less customized transportation components, Constellium SE uses a global network of authorized distributors. This helps them efficiently serve the fragmented industrial market without dedicating high-cost direct sales resources to every small order. This network acts as a crucial inventory buffer and market reach extender, especially for the P&ARP (Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products) segment, which saw strong performance in 2025.

Manufacturing Plants: Direct shipment from 20+ production facilities across Europe, North America, and China.

The physical backbone of the channel is the manufacturing footprint itself, which facilitates direct shipment from the point of production. Constellium SE operates 24 manufacturing sites across Europe, North America, and China, allowing for regional supply chain optimization. These sites ship directly to customers or distribution hubs. You can see the scale of this operation reflected in their Q3 2025 shipments, which totaled 373 thousand metric tons. Furthermore, they are actively investing in these channels; for instance, the recent completion of new finishing lines at the Singen plant in Germany, part of a €30 million investment, directly enhances their ability to supply high-quality aluminum foilstock for battery applications in Europe.

Here's a quick look at the operational scale supporting these channels as of late 2025:

Metric	Value (Latest Reported)	Context/Period
Total Revenue (YTD)	$6.2 billion	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Manufacturing Sites	24	Across Europe, North America, and China
Total Shipments (YTD)	1.1 million metric tons	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
2025 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance (Excl. Metal Lag)	$670 million to $690 million	Full Year 2025 Outlook
Singen Plant Investment	€30 million	Completed 2025 investment for new finishing lines

The effectiveness of these channels is also tied to their ability to manage material costs, which is why the metal price lag adjustment is a key factor in their reported earnings. For example, Q3 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $235 million included a positive non-cash metal price lag impact of $39 million.

You should keep an eye on the segment performance, as it signals where channel focus might be shifting:

• Packaging demand remained healthy through 2025.
• Automotive demand was weak in Europe but stable in North America in Q3 2025.
• Aerospace demand stayed stable despite OEM supply chain issues.

Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

Constellium SE (CSTM) - Canvas Business Model: Cost Structure

You're looking at the core expenses Constellium SE faces to keep the lights on and the metal flowing, which is critical for understanding their margins.

Raw Material Costs are definitely the biggest variable here. Constellium SE is primarily buying aluminum ingot and scrap, so when metal prices swing, their input costs swing right along with them. This volatility is a constant management challenge.

Operating Costs cover the day-to-day grind across their global facilities. Think high energy bills, keeping skilled labor happy, and the maintenance needed to run complex rolling mills. For instance, the Holdings and Corporate expense line, which includes things like IT upgrades and labor accruals, was expected to run at approximately $40 million for the full year 2025. Still, they saw some relief, with lower operating costs being a tailwind in the third quarter of 2025.

Capital Expenditures (CapEx) are what they spend to keep their assets modern and efficient. You should expect Constellium SE's 2025 CapEx to be around $325 million for the full year. This figure was maintained in guidance even as they generated strong free cash flow year-to-date.

Tariffs and Trade Costs add another layer of complexity to the cost base, especially with their U.S. operations. They are actively managing the financial hit from international duties, which shows up in their pricing and mix adjustments.

Here's a quick look at some of the specific cost impacts reported through the first nine months of 2025:

Cost Component/Period	Financial Amount	Context/Notes
2025 Full Year Expected CapEx	$325 million	Maintained full-year guidance figure.
2025 Holdings & Corporate Expense (Full Year Estimate)	Approx. $40 million	Includes IT spending and accrued labor costs.
Q2 2025 Tariff Impact (Price/Mix Headwind)	$7 million	Due to tariff-related metal impacts.
H1 2025 Section 232 Tariff Gross Costs	$7 million	Reported gross costs before mitigation actions.
H1 2025 Unfavorable Metal Costs (Modest Headwind)	$1 million	Impact on segment adjusted EBITDA.
Q3 2025 Operating Costs Impact	$16 million Tailwind	Primarily due to lower operating costs.

You can see the push and pull on costs:

• Lower operating costs helped offset other pressures in Q3 2025.
• The potential for future tariff costs was estimated up to an additional $20 million for the remainder of 2025 before mitigation.
• Metal costs were a modest headwind of $1 million in the first half of 2025.

Constellium SE (CSTM) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams

You're looking at the core ways Constellium SE brings in money as of late 2025. Honestly, it all boils down to what they ship and what price they get for it across their main divisions.

The revenue streams are primarily driven by sales across three major operating segments. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, Constellium SE reported total revenue of $2.2 billion. The performance of these streams is often tracked via Segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Here's a look at the segment-level performance based on the most recent quarterly data:

Revenue Stream Category	Segment Name	Q3 2025 Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Rolled Products Sales	Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP)	$82 million
Aerospace & Plate Sales	Aerospace & Transportation (A&T)	$90 million
Extruded Products Sales	Automotive Structures & Industry (AS&I)	$33 million

To give you a broader picture, looking at the first nine months of 2025, the total revenue reached $6.2 billion, with the cumulative Segment Adjusted EBITDA as follows:

• Aerospace & Transportation (A&T): $256 million.
• Packaging & Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP): $217 million.
• Automotive Structures & Industry (AS&I): $67 million.

The company's overall financial outlook for the full year 2025 reflects confidence in these revenue streams, even with ongoing market dynamics. Constellium SE has raised its full-year guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the non-cash impact of metal price lag, to be between $670 million and $690 million.

The revenue generation is also supported by specific operational improvements and commercial actions:

• Packaging shipments saw growth, driven by strong performance at Muscle Shoals.
• Aerospace & Transportation benefited from higher Transportation, Industry, and Defense (TID) volumes and better pricing/mix.
• Automotive Structures & Industry received an uplift from net customer compensation for an automotive program.
