Company Description (Source)
We are a leading independent manufacturer of highly engineered engine products which include complex precision cast components and nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys primarily serving the high growth Aerospace and IGT end markets. Both markets are supported by highly-attractive, long-term structural growth drivers and are experiencing demand super cycles, which we expect to create a very strong, long-term growth environment for our business. We believe we are one of a limited number of companies worldwide with the cutting-edge engineering, chemistry, and metallurgy expertise, along with the large-scale specialized casting equipment required to manufacture these mission-critical parts under strict environmental controls for the most demanding applications within our end markets. In 2025, we maintained 14 principal facilities and generated $837 million of revenue, of which approximately 70% was covered by LTAs. We primarily manufacture products that operate across some of the most in-demand aeroengine and gas turbine platforms, as characterized by the large number of installed units and the substantial amount of sales orders that have been committed to by customers, or backlogs of our customers, which include the world’s leading global Aerospace and IGT OEMs. Through decades of operations, we have developed deep engineering expertise, technical know-how, and a collaborative, customer-centric culture that provides solutions to our OEM customers’ most complex casting challenges. Our capabilities and operational expertise complement our advanced manufacturing assets, leading to best-in-class quality assurance processes that allow us to deliver reliable performance at scale. We believe our unique, customer-oriented approach deeply entrenches us in our customers’ manufacturing processes and has enabled our ongoing evolution from a transactional, individual parts supplier to a true, strategic partner. In 2024, we began expanding our existing strategic customer partnerships with a select number of key customers in the Aerospace and IGT end markets, including significant customer-funded investments to increase capacity at our manufacturing facilities. We expect the four strategic customer partnerships that have been fully agreed to date to deliver incremental annual revenue of more than $200 million when operating at full run rate. We believe we are currently the only competitor able to provide Aerospace and IGT OEMs with dedicated capacity and visibility into increased production planning. As we scale this approach, we believe it will drive larger portfolio-level awards and extended contracts with improved commercial terms and increased share-of-work, enabling us to win incremental business and take market share on priority programs. The key to being able to facilitate customer demand in these supply-constrained markets is through owning our own supply chain. Our vertically integrated business model includes three superalloy manufacturing facilities which fulfill all our internal nickel- and cobalt-based superalloy requirements for Aerospace and IGT castings. We also operate integrated ceramic core production units at both of our large IGT facilities. High-performance nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys are extremely difficult to develop and manufacture but are essential to the casting production chain. Our vertical integration reduces our usage of external supply chains, which are currently experiencing significant capacity constraints, since our facilities produce the majority of the critical components that we require. Additionally, we also supply superalloys to a diverse set of external customers across the Aerospace and IGT end markets. Our vertical integration also includes key post-cast processes such as Hot Isostatic Pressing, heat treatment and X-Ray which are performed in-house at certain facilities. We have opportunities to further develop these capabilities and further reduce usage of external sub-contractors. Our product portfolio includes critical components of nearly every major commercial aircraft program, all categories of large and heavy-frame IGT platforms currently in production, including aftermarket content on legacy IGT platforms, and several defense and space programs, positioning us to capture a meaningful share of the multi-billion-dollar total addressable market across the Aerospace and IGT end markets. Many of the current and next-generation aeroengine and gas turbine platforms we serve are experiencing some of the highest build rates in the industry and our customers are actively working to further increase production on key platforms to meet exceptional demand. We work directly with the world’s leading Aerospace and IGT OEMs such as GE Aerospace, Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Safran, Ansaldo Energia, Doosan, GE Vernova and Siemens Energy. The majority of our Aerospace and IGT engine products operate in extreme environments, characterized by high temperature and pressure, and as such are safety-critical, integral components of our customers’ supply chains. Our position as a key supplier is supported by our strong relationships and consistent track record of on-time delivery of highly advanced precision cast components across the world that enables our customers to fulfill their multi-year orderbooks. Diversification by product, customer, and platform provides resiliency across cycles and supports strong, recurring revenue. Our content is embedded in the most in-demand aeroengine and gas turbine platforms today. Within the Aerospace end market, our engine products are critical to CFM International’s LEAP engine family and Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engine family, which are two leading single aisle engine families in the world powering Boeing’s 737 family and Airbus’ A320 and A321 families, and GE Aerospace’s GEnx engine, which powers the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Within the IGT end market, our content is critical to major heavy-frame gas turbine programs such as the F-class and H-class turbines manufactured by Siemens Energy. Each of these aeroengine and gas turbine platforms are in high demand, with multi-year orderbook visibility. Our nickel-based and cobalt-based investment castings are used in a wide range of performance critical applications, including: • Engine Products — Aerospace: We manufacture structural castings largely for engines in the Aerospace end market and are actively expanding our Aerospace capabilities. Stationary parts, including turbine center frames, bearing housings, combustion diffusers, fins inducers, near flow path seals, blade outer seals, combustion seal segments, injector housings and nozzles. • Engine Products — IGT: We manufacture turbine airfoils (blades and vanes) for the IGT end market. This includes rotating and stationary parts that operate in the hot section of an aeroengine or industrial gas turbine, where they must withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, which require exceptionally tight dimensional and metallurgical control and are safety-critical. • Hot-Side Turbocharger Wheels: We manufacture hot-side turbocharger wheels for the transportation end market for off-highway, commercial, and passenger vehicles. Turbocharging is one of the most powerful emissions reduction solutions for internal combustion engines and is universally used in hybrid powertrains. --- In 2025, approximately 70% of our revenue was covered by LTAs with our OEM customers, including our strategic customer partnerships, which provide us certainty on pricing and margin, and the remaining approximately 30% of our revenue is generated under individual spot purchase orders not covered by an LTA. This is by choice as it provides us with flexibility and the opportunity to respond to market conditions and allows us to capture premium margins and opportunity. The commercial terms of all our key end market Aerospace and IGT LTAs have been renegotiated by our management team since 2020. Our LTAs are framework agreements which set out the terms and conditions under which customers place specific purchase orders for our parts. The LTAs set out specific part pricing which is typically fixed but subject to escalation clauses which allow for the pass through on movements in metal costs, in line with industry standards, and our aerospace and IGT contracts have been significantly strengthened to include specific protections against increases in energy costs, labor costs, tariffs and general inflation through prices linked to published indices. Aerospace and IGT LTAs typically guarantee us a minimum level of market share for the applicable part but in certain cases, also include long-term volume commitments for the life of the LTA as is the case in three of our strategic customer partnerships. Other key terms in the LTAs include payment terms, performance metrics and other terms of business. Our LTAs typically span 5 years or longer. Our LTAs provide us with significant visibility on future volumes, revenue, and profitability with orders being placed under these LTAs. As at December 31, 2025, our order Backlog was $725 million, representing contractually firm purchase orders, which covers more than 12 months of production of Aerospace and IGT castings. As at March 29, 2026, our order backlog was $930 million, representing contractually firm purchase orders, which covers more than 12 months of production of Aerospace and IGT castings. In 2024, we began expanding our strategic customer partnerships with a select number of key customers in the Aerospace and IGT end markets, including significant investments by the customer to increase the capacity at our manufacturing facilities. We expect the four strategic customer partnerships that have been fully agreed to date to deliver incremental annual revenue of more than $200 million when operating at full run rate. The structure of these strategic customer partnerships demonstrates the long-term commitment our customers are making to us and supports the capital investment necessary to increase our capacity. We believe these strategic customer partnerships will help us increase our market share of high-value content on key programs, which will be accretive to our overall adjusted EBITDA margin profile. We continue to build a pipeline of additional strategic customer partnerships which should offer a meaningful additional growth avenue for us moving forward. Our revenue from spot purchase orders provides us with a high degree of flexibility in allocation of capacity and pricing. Given the current supply-constrained market conditions, we believe our mix of LTAs and spot purchase orders creates an optimal balance for our business. We believe our OEM customers view us as a high-quality, scaled alternative to the two large industry participants, Precision Castparts Corporation, or PCC, and Howmet Aerospace, Inc., or Howmet. This is evidenced by our continued volume growth across our Aerospace and IGT end markets, increased share capture on major platforms within these end markets, and the strategic customer partnerships including capital investment from major OEMs. We continue to proactively collaborate with customers, prioritize timelines, and have deepened trusted strategic customer partnerships that underpin our growth trajectory. In 2025, approximately 40% of our castings revenue was generated from the aftermarket, currently weighted more to the IGT end market given our leading positions supplying airfoils which are routinely replaced over the typical 20-year lifecycle of a gas turbine. We expect our aftermarket revenue in the IGT end market to benefit from significant growth in the installed base of heavy-frame turbines and current robust OEM backlogs. We similarly expect our aftermarket revenue derived from the Aerospace end market to increase by 2030 due to our strategic partnership with a key Aerospace customer. This partnership includes an investment to substantially increase the capacity at two of our Aerospace manufacturing facilities to apply our directionally solidified and single crystal casting technologies to manufacture aerospace blades and vanes for both OEM and aftermarket applications. Over our nearly 250-year history, we have built unmatched technical know-how, strong operational capabilities, collaborative relationships with our customers, and a strategically invested asset footprint, resulting in an attractive market position. In 2020, we underwent a change in ownership and initiated a management-led turnaround designed to create operational and financial improvements. Management drove this turnaround by focusing on the following four key strategic pillars: • To be customer-centric in all that we do, ensuring that customers receive the best service in respect of quality, on-time delivery and working together to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome; • Renewal of both the asset base and talent within the workforce which is fundamental to our successful operations; • To implement a continuous improvement mindset across all of our manufacturing facilities to drive operational performance; • To achieve a set of stretching financial targets including revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth, adjusted EBITDA margin improvement and improvements in cash generation. Current management includes a refreshed leadership team that has refocused our business on operational excellence and customer centricity by implementing our “operational toolbox” across all our sites. Our operational toolbox includes daily and weekly monitoring of key performance indicators which help our site- and divisional-level management identify operational improvements to implement. Additionally, since 2020 we have deployed over $170 million in capital expenditures to expand our capacity and modernize our assets, which has led to an increase in productivity, reduction in scrap rates, and material improvement to our quality and on-time delivery rates. This turnaround allowed for strong margin expansion with an improvement in the net loss position from $193 million in 2024 to $173 million in 2025 and an improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin from the mid-single digits in 2020 to 16.5% in 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated $837 million of revenue, of which $291 million or 35% was generated in our Aerospace end market, $351 million or 42% was generated in our IGT end market, and $195 million or 23% was generated in our Transportation end market. Since 2020 and under the leadership of our current management team, our revenue has more than doubled, from approximately $365 million revenue in 2020, reflecting strong volume and price improvements supported by end market demand and stronger customer relationships driving increased platform and part participation. In 2025, our capital expenditures totaled $31 million, comprised of investment in capacity expansion, capability expansion, productivity initiatives, equipment upgrades across our manufacturing footprint, health and safety initiatives, and ordinary course maintenance activities to sustain production continuity. These investments are closely aligned with strategic customer partnerships and are a core component of our operating model. We generated a net loss of $173 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $138 million of adjusted EBITDA, the former largely reflecting the high and predominantly non-cash interest charge on the Shareholder PIK Loan. In 2025, our adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.5% was a significant increase from our mid-single digit adjusted EBITDA margin in 2020. In 2025, the segment adjusted EBITDA margins for our Engine Products — North America and Engine Products — Europe segments, which comprise of our sales into the Aerospace and IGT end markets, were 18.2% and 21.9%, respectively. The segment adjusted EBITDA margin for our Turbo Wheels segment, which comprises of our sales into the Transportation end market, was 6.5%. For a discussion of the use of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. We expect to achieve further margin progression through operating leverage on higher volumes, improved operational execution, and value-based pricing initiatives. We expect these factors and strong demand across our major end markets to drive additional volume growth on recent capacity investment, producing further operating leverage and productivity gains. --- We were incorporated in Jersey, Channel Islands, as Alloy Topco Limited in November 2019 and changed our name to DPC Holdings Limited in December 2025.
