DPC Holdings PLC (NYSE: DPC) ('Doncasters', 'the Company') reported financial results for the second quarter 2026. Doncasters reported record second quarter 2026 revenue of $269 million, up 34% year over year, driven by growth in the Aerospace and IGT end markets of 47% and 42% respectively. Within Engine Products, above market growth, product portfolio gains and metal cost inflation pass-through to customers led to combined revenue growth of 39% with 49% and 29% in Europe and North America respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter grew 33% compared to the prior year's quarter, with 53% growth from Engine Products, up 54% in Europe and 52% in North America. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.8% was broadly in-line with the prior year's second quarter despite the impact of metal cost inflation pass-through which diluted the margin by 60 bps, higher corporate costs and increased loss from business held for sale. The segment adjusted EBITDA margin for Engine Products grew 210bps year over year to 23.5%, reflecting operating leverage from higher volumes and execution of value-based pricing.
Adjusted net income was $6 million, an improvement from the ($11) million loss of the prior year quarter due to improved profitability with adjusted earnings per share of $0.05 versus the prior year loss of ($0.10).
We had an adjusted net cash position of $274 million at June 28, 2026 (cash and cash equivalents of $846 million less borrowings of $573 million). Transaction adjusted net cash of $118 million reflects the inclusion of all the net proceeds of our IPO, greenshoe and private placements. Working capital increased due to ongoing investment to support growth and higher metal cost inflation pass-through. Investment continued in our operations to accommodate increased customer capacity requirements and our strategic customer partnerships.
Doncasters' Chief Executive Officer Mike Quinn said, "Doncasters continues to deliver strong growth with record levels of revenue, adjusted EBITDA and ongoing adjusted EBITDA margin progression. We are transforming Doncasters from a supplier of individual components into a trusted strategic partner for our customers, evidenced by a growing portfolio of differentiated strategic customer partnerships. During the second quarter we signed a new partnership with an Aero OEM which included volume commitments to support the building of a new superalloy greenfield facility in Alabama. We now have four partnerships with Aero and IGT OEMs, which are expected to deliver more than $200 million of incremental annual revenue at an accretive margin, with customer-funded investment and volume commitments.
Full Year 2026 Outlook
"Looking forwards, we expect ongoing end market growth supported by strong structural long-term growth drivers and significant supply backlogs in our two major end markets of Aerospace and IGT. In Aerospace we expect rising global air travel, fuel efficiency prioritization, lagging aircraft deliveries, and aging fleets to drive multi-year demand for our engine components and other structural castings. In IGT, we expect increasing global electricity demand together with the need for grid reliability and energy security to drive the demand for gas turbines to support growing power needs.
"Our growth rate continues to exceed the market as we deliver material value creation through our specialist manufacturing capabilities and strong customer focus, which are driving larger portfolio-level awards, extended contracts with improved commercial terms and our strategic customer partnerships. We are also delivering margin improvement through operating leverage on higher volumes, improved operational execution and pricing. We believe that DPC Holdings is well positioned to deliver profitable growth and significant long-term value creation."

Gross segment revenue for the Engine Products - Europe segment increased $40.4 million, or 48.7%, in the three months ended June 28, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2025, and increased $64.2 million, or 39.5%, in the six months ended June 28, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 29, 2025, in each case, primarily due to output increase linked to the strong end market, including OEM build rates. Adjusted cost of sales in both the three and six months ended June 28, 2026, increased broadly in proportion to the increase in revenue compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2025.
The increase in sales has dropped through to segment adjusted EBITDA at 25.7% in the second quarter of 2026, and 29.1% in the six months ended June 28, 2026. This resulted in an increase in segment adjusted EBITDA margin of 80 basis points in the second quarter 2026 compared to the second quarter 2025, and an increase of 230 basis points in the six months ended June 28, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2025.
Capital expenditure is expected to remain elevated, with additional investments in capacity expansions to accommodate increased customer demand and delivery of two IGT Strategic Customer Partnerships.

Gross segment revenue for the Engine Products - North America segment increased $21.9 million, or 29.0%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, and increased $43.2 million, or 30.6%, in the six months ended June 28, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2025, in each case, primarily attributable to increased output following investments in capacity increases. Our facility in Groton, CT, is benefiting from the installation of new capital equipment as production continues to ramp up. Adjusted cost of sales for Engine Products -- North America in both the three and six months ended June 28, 2026, increased at a lower rate than the increase in revenue compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 reflecting the operational leverage impact of the revenue increase.
The increase in sales has dropped through to segment adjusted EBITDA at 28.3% in the second quarter of 2026, and 27.3% in the six months ended June 28, 2026. This resulted in an increase in segment adjusted EBITDA margin of 340 basis points in the second quarter 2026 compared to the second quarter 2025, and an increase of 330 basis points in the six months ended June 28, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2025.
Segment adjusted EBITDA was $22.0 million, up 51.7% year over year, driven by operating leverage from volume growth and value-based pricing.
Capital expenditure is expected to remain elevated, with additional investments in capacity expansions to support market growth and our two Aero Strategic Customer Partnerships including the building of a greenfield superalloy facility in Alabama.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net cash(debt), adjusted net income/loss, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management's rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables below. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net cash/(debt), adjusted net income/loss, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should consider adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net cash/(debt), adjusted net cash/(debt) to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted EPS along with other financial performance measures, including net income/ (loss), net cash from/(used) in operating activities and total borrowings and our financial results presented in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Table 1: Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for certain items that management believes are not indicative of our core operating performance, including site closure, refinancing, and other re-organization costs, legal and professional fees incurred on refinancing of the senior debt facility, receipt of an insurance claim, share-based compensation, management incentive plan expenses which are not expected to continue at the same level in future periods, impairment of non-core assets held for sale or gains from remeasurements from the change in fair value of the disposal group, one-off costs related to the IPO, costs incurred in relation to the development of an upgraded ERP system, and foreign currency gains and losses that relate to our external and intra-Group financing structure. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We present adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expenses, net and foreign currency gains and losses, net), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), non-cash charges resulting from depreciation of long-lived assets (affecting relative depreciation and amortization expense) and other items that are not representative of core operating performance or items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in future periods. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Nevertheless, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for net loss recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We understand that although adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

Table 2: Reconciliation of Total Borrowings to Adjusted Net Cash/(Debt) (unaudited)
Adjusted net cash/(debt) is a non-GAAP financial measure we define as the sum of borrowings, current and non-current, or total debt, less the carrying amount of shareholder loan facilities, and less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposit. As of June 28, 2026, we have also adjusted net cash to reflect transactions related to the IPO that didn't occur until post the period end date. These include the MIP payment and associated taxes that were crystalized as a result of the IPO and the Private Placements amounts, net of underwriters discount, that were paid or received respectively until after the period end date. Adjusted net cash/(debt) to adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted net cash/(debt) divided by adjusted EBITDA.
The following table reconciles total borrowings, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to adjusted net cash/(debt) and transaction adjusted net cash/(debt) to adjusted net EBITDA for the periods presented:

(1) The timing of the IPO meant that fund flows relating to the MIP
liability and outstanding Private Placement happened after June 28, 2026
but were contractual obligations at quarter end and are shown in the
transaction adjusted net cash position as reference point to the go
forward position. See footnote 13 'Subsequent Events' in our 10-Q.
We present adjusted net cash/(debt) and adjusted net cash/(debt) to adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe it provides information to management and investors about our financial position. As at June 28, 2026 fund flows relating to the MIP liability and Private Placements had not completed.
We present adjusted net cash/(debt) and adjusted net cash/(debt) to adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures because we believe they are key indicators of our financial leverage and capital structure after all of the IPO related transactions had been settled, with two significant amounts occurring post the period end date given the close proximity of the IPO and that date. As at December 31, 2025, we also adjusted net cash/(debt) to exclude the payment-in-kind loan facility with a syndicate of financial institutions (the "Shareholder PIK Loan") as it offered a clearer picture of our third parties debt obligations that are typically subject to significant cash interest amounts. The Shareholder PIK Loan ultimately being repaid using the proceeds from the IPO. Nevertheless, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for borrowings, current and non-current recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
