1 The calculation of earnings per share is performed separately for continuing and discontinued operations. As a result, the sum of the two in any particular period may not equal the earnings-per-share amount in total.
2 The loss per share for discontinued operations in the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024 has not been diluted, since the incremental shares included in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

LUXFER HOLDINGS PLC
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, 2024. 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.
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 First Quarter 2025, ended on March 30, 2025, and the First Quarter 2024, ended on March 31, 2024.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities ("PBEs"). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires new and enhanced disclosures primarily related to income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. We will adopt the standard beginning with our annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025.
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 or loss 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | First Quarter | | | |
| In millions except share and per-share data | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | | |
| Basic earnings: | | | | | | | | |
| Net income from continuing operations | $ | 5.5 | | | $ | 2.8 | | | | | | |
| Net loss from discontinued operations | — | | | (0.1) | | | | | | |
| Net income | $ | 5.5 | | | $ | 2.7 | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Weighted average number of £0.50 ordinary shares: | | | | | | | | |
| For basic earnings per share | 26,733,252 | | | 26,820,968 | | | | | | |
| Dilutive effect of potential common stock | 398,485 | | | 46,008 | | | | | | |
| For diluted earnings per share | 27,131,737 | | | 26,866,976 | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Earnings / (loss) per share using weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding(1): | |
| Basic earnings per ordinary share for continuing operations | $ | 0.21 | | | $ | 0.10 | | | | | | |
| Basic loss per ordinary share for discontinued operations | — | | | — | | | | | | |
| Basic earnings per ordinary share | $ | 0.21 | | | $ | 0.10 | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Diluted earnings per ordinary share for continuing operations | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | 0.10 | | | | | | |
| Diluted loss per ordinary share for discontinued operations | — | | | — | | | | | | |
| Diluted earnings per ordinary share | $ | 0.20 | | | $ | 0.10 | | | | | | |
(1) The calculation of earnings per share is performed separately for continuing and discontinued operations. As a result, the sum of the two in any particular period may not equal the earnings-per-share amount in total
In the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024, basic average shares outstanding and diluted average shares outstanding were the same for discontinued operations because the effect of potential shares of common stock was anti-dilutive since the Company generated a net loss from discontinued operations.
3. Net Sales
Disaggregated sales disclosures for the quarters ended March 30, 2025, and March 31, 2024, are included below and in Note 15, Segmental Information.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Transportation | 14.8 | | 10.9 | | — | | 25.7 | | | 19.1 | | 9.8 | | — | | 28.9 | | |

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. With the classification of our Superform business as discontinued operations, none of the Company's revenue from continuing operations is satisfied over time. As a result, the Company's contract receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities are included within current assets and liabilities held-for-sale.
4. Restructuring
The $0.1 million (2024: $0.7 million) restructuring charges in the First Quarter of 2025, predominantly relates to continued costs aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.
Restructuring-related costs by reportable segment were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | First Quarter | | | |
| In millions | | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | | |
| Severance and related costs | | | | | | | | | |

5. Acquisition and disposal related costs
Disposal-related costs of $0.2 million in the First Quarter of 2024 represented professional fees incurred in relation to the planned disposal of the Graphic Arts segment.
6. Other income
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. In the First Quarter of 2024, the Company recovered $0.2 million in relation to these costs previously incurred by the Company. In January 2025, a final settlement was agreed upon related to the US Ecology case which was covered in full by insurance. The matter is now closed and no further income will be received relating to this case.
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 on continuing operations for the Quarter ended March 30, 2025, was 25.7%, compared to 26.3% for the Quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Loan notes due and shelf facility
The Note Purchase Agreement and Private Shelf Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2014, to March 30, 2025.
The Loan Notes due 2026, the Shelf Facility and the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement are governed by the law of the State of New York. With maturity approaching in 2026, we have initiated preliminary steps to evaluate and pursue refinancing options for our 2026 debt obligations.

11. Discontinued Operations
Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business, which operated from sites in the U.S. and the U.K., was historically included in the Gas Cylinders Segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, we have reflected the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. We expect our Superform U.S. business to be sold within the next twelve months.
The assets and liabilities of the Superform business have been presented within Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As a result of the Company’s strategic review process announced in October 2023, the Company concluded that its Graphic Arts business no longer aligns with the Company’s overall business and value proposition. In 2024, the Company initiated a sale process for its Graphic Arts business with the expectation a sale will conclude in 2025.
In accordance with ASC 205-20 and ASC 360-10, our Graphic Arts business is classified as held-for-sale at March 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, however the business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation.
13. Share Plans
Total share-based compensation expense for the quarters ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | First Quarter | | | |
| In millions | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
| Total share-based compensation charges | $ | 0.9 | | | $ | 0.6 | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
In March 2025, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Luxfer Holdings PLC Long-Term Umbrella Incentive Plan. The total number of awards issued was approximately 135,000 and the weighted average fair value of options granted in 2025 was estimated to be $12.13 per share.
The following table illustrates the assumptions used in deriving the fair value of share options granted during the First Quarter of 2025 and the year-ended December 31, 2024: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | First Quarter | | Year ended December 31, | |
| | 2025 | | 2024 | |
| Dividend yield (%) | 4.40 - 6.03 | | 4.40 - 6.03 | |
| Expected volatility range (%) | 36.40 - 45.79 | | 36.40 - 45.79 | |
| Risk-free interest rate (%) | 3.87 - 5.08 | | 3.87 - 5.08 | |
| Expected life of share options range (years) | 1.00 - 4.00 | | 1.00 - 4.00 | |
| Forfeiture rate (%) | 5.00 | | | 5.00 | | |
| Weighted average exercise price ($) | $1.00 | | $1.00 | |
| Model used | Black-Scholes & Monte-Carlo | | Black-Scholes & Monte-Carlo | |
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.

15. Segmental Information
We classify our operations into business segments, based primarily on shared economic characteristics for the nature of the products and services; the nature of the production processes; the type or class of customer for their products and services; the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has five identified business units, which aggregate into three reportable segments within continuing operations, and one within discontinued operations. Luxfer Gas Cylinders forms the Gas Cylinders segment, Luxfer MEL Technologies and Luxfer Magtech aggregate into the Elektron segment and Luxfer Graphic Arts forms the Graphic Arts segment. Our Superform business unit used to aggregate into the Gas Cylinders segment but is now recognized within discontinued operations. A summary of the operations of the segments within continuing operations is provided below:
Gas Cylinders segment
Our Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized highly-engineered cylinders, using composites and aluminum alloys, including pressurized cylinders for use in various applications including self-contained breathing apparatus ('SCBA') for firefighters, containment of oxygen and other medical gases for healthcare, alternative fuel vehicles, and specialty industrial applications.
Elektron segment Our Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium, with key product lines including advanced lightweight magnesium alloys with a variety of uses across a variety of industries; magnesium powders for use in countermeasure flares, as well as heater meals; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used as catalysts and in the manufacture of advances ceramics, fiber-optic fuel cells, and many other performance products.
Graphic Arts segment
Our Graphic Arts segment provides a full range of pre-sensitized magnesium, copper and zinc plates, along with associated chemicals, for the production of foil-stamping and embossing dies. In addition, non-sensitized polished brass and magnesium plates are also manufactured for computer numerical control ('CNC') engraving. The segment also advises on turnkey engraving operations, complete with etching machines, computer-to-plate ('CtP') machines, exposure units and film setters.
Other
Other, as used below, primarily represents unallocated corporate expense and includes non-service related defined benefit pension credit.
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; other charges; acquisitions and disposals costs; gain on disposal of assets held for sale; defined benefit credit/charge 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.

In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related to the US Ecology case are covered by insurance. The Company recognized $0.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, relating to these costs previously incurred by the Company, a final $1.9 million of cash was received in the quarter ended March 30, 2025, this was included within accounts receivable and other receivables as of December 31, 2024 and nothing was recognized in the quarter ended March 30, 2025.
In January 2025, a final settlement was agreed upon related to the US Ecology case which was covered in full by the Company's insurance policy, with payment made in February 2025. As a result, the Company recorded a liability for the settlement in other current liabilities and recognized a gain contingency related to the insurance payout receivable in accounts and other receivables as at December 31, 2024, nil at March 30, 2025.
17. Subsequent Events
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.

Key trends and uncertainties regarding our existing business
Uncertainty of demand in certain end-markets
Macro-economic conditions have continued to impact our specialty industrial end-market and have experienced variability of demand for certain products. In the First Quarter of 2025, we delivered strong sales driven by robust demand in Defense and Aerospace. We have continued to navigate macro-economic challenges through productivity and cost management initiatives resulting in improved margins alongside effective working capital management contributing to maintaining net debt levels.
Uncertainty regarding the impact of tariffs on our business
We are closely monitoring rapidly changing developments regarding the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration, as well as potential retaliatory actions by governments of countries to which we export. Our current evaluation is that the direct impact of incremental tariffs imposed on imports into the U.S. is expected to be relatively limited since a significant portion of our U.S. revenues are derived from our U.S. sites. Furthermore, specialty materials in Elektron that we are required to import typically appear on critical material exemption lists. While tariffs are expected to apply to the import of gas cylinders into the U.S., this is a relatively small part of our business, but nonetheless one where we would expect to be successful in passing through the increased cost to our customers. We remain mindful that the situation is dynamic, and that there is likely to be a further adverse effect on macro-economic activity, which could impact demand in our end-markets as highlighted above.
Operating objectives and trends
In 2025, we expect the following operating objectives and trends to impact our business:
•Addressing continuing general macro uncertainty and continuing to build resilience into the outlook;
•Focus on navigating near-term uncertainties while maintaining strategic discipline for long-term growth;
•Ongoing focus on cost control and productivity improvements across the business to drive margin improvement, as well as new product launches to stimulate top line growth;
•Navigating market volatility, tariffs and wider impact from these;
•Execution of actions identified upon completion of the previously announced expanded and accelerated strategic review, including the divestiture of Graphic Arts and Superform U.S.;
•Execution of selected capital investment projects to support our strategy of profitable growth while maintaining our infrastructure;
•Continued emphasis on operating cash generation and maintaining strong working capital performance;
•Ongoing priority in ESG standing through focus on sustainability; and
•Focus on recruiting, developing, maintaining talent, and driving a high-performance culture.

Net sales
Adjusting for foreign exchange headwinds of $0.3 million, net sales have increased by 8.8% in the First Quarter of 2025. Sales were positively impacted in the quarter from:
•Increased sales of MREs and Group Rations (UGR-E) in our Magtech division;
•Elevated sales of magnesium powders, especially those used in defense applications, including countermeasure flares;
•Healthy demand for magnesium aerospace products;
•Heightened demand for zirconium products in specialty industrial applications; and
•Sales of specialty gas cylinders for industrial applications.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Reduction in Alternative Fuel ("AF") cylinder sales;
•Decrease in demand for zirconium products used in auto-catalysis products; and
•Subdued demand for medical cylinders.
Gross profit
The 1.5 percentage point increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of the positive sales mix and contract resets, partially offset by raw material re-pricing in our Elektron division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A expenses have increased $1.0 million, but as a percentage of sales this has remained flat compared to 2024.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs remained flat, with a slight decrease as a percentage of sales in the First Quarter of 2025 relative to 2024 respectively, attributable to the increase in sales.
Restructuring charges
The $0.1 million restructuring charge in the First Quarter of 2025, relates to final clean up costs associated with the disposal of the Luxfer Gas Cylinders France site in 2024.
The $0.7 million restructuring charge in the First Quarter of 2024, predominantly relates to costs incurred in respect of cost savings initiatives affecting our North American Gas Cylinders business ($0.4 million) and clean up costs of $0.2 million in relation to the consolidation of production facilities in the Magnesium Powders operations. There was a further $0.1 million relating to costs associated with the closure of Luxfer Gas Cylinders France.
Acquisition and disposal related costs
Acquisition and disposal related costs of $0.2 million in 2024 represents amounts incurred in relation to the planned disposal of Luxfer Graphic Arts.
Net interest expense
Net interest expense of $0.8 million in the First Quarter of 2025 decreased from $1.4 million in the First Quarter 2024, due to decreased levels of debt and lower interest rates.
Defined benefit pension credit
In 2025 there was a defined benefit credit of $0.6 million for the U.K. plan, which increased from $0.3 million in 2024 as a result of the triennial valuation in 2024.
Provision for income taxes
The movement in the statutory effective tax rate from 26.3% in 2024, to 25.7% in 2025, was primarily due to non-deductible expenses and deferred tax credit. When stripping out the impact of adjusting items, the adjusted effective tax rate has increased to 23.8% in 2025 from 23.1% in 2024.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
The following tables of non-GAAP summary financial data presents a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per ordinary share from continuing operations to adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITA from continuing operations, adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost recovery, adjusted earnings per ordinary share from continuing operations, adjusted provision for income taxes and adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations, for the periods presented, being the most comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that adjusted net income excluding legal cost recovery, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost recovery are key performance indicators ("KPIs") used by the investment community and that such presentation will enhance an investor’s understanding of the Company's operational results. In addition, Luxfer's CEO and other senior management use these KPIs, among others, to evaluate business performance. However, investors should not consider adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITA from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA excluding legal cost (recovery) from continuing operations in isolation as an alternative to net income and earnings per share when evaluating Luxfer's operating performance or measuring Luxfer's profitability. In 2024, the Company initiated a process to divest the Graphic Arts business. While Graphic Arts does not meet the 'strategic shift' criteria outlined in ASC 205-20 for it to be classified as a discontinued operation, we believe that given the expectation that divestiture will be completed in the current year, it is appropriate in the tables below to separate out the results of Graphic Arts in order to provide a more complete financial summary for the period. Similarly for other Income of $0.2 million in the First Quarter of 2024 relates to the recovery of legal costs from our insurer related to the previously disclosed US Ecology case, historically the legal costs relating to this case were in selling, general and administrative expenses, however the other income in the First Quarter of 2024 is separated due to its one-off nature and the recovery relating to several years. We believe separating the income and costs relating to this is also appropriate to provide a more complete financial summary for the period.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of each of our three reportable segments (Gas Cylinders, Elektron and Graphic Arts). The three segments comprise various product offerings that serve multiple end-markets.
Adjusted EBITA, which is our segment income metric, represents net income from continuing operations adjusted for share-based compensation charges, restructuring charges, impairment charges, other charges, acquisitions and disposals costs, net interest expenses, defined benefits pension credit, provision for taxes and amortization. A reconciliation to pre-tax income can be found in Note 15 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.
GAS CYLINDERS
The results of operations from the Gas Cylinders segment are for continuing operations only.
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Gas Cylinders were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | First Quarter | % / point change | | | | | |
| In millions | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 v 2024 | | | | | | | |
| Net sales | | $ | 41.1 | | | $ | 45.4 | | | (9.5)% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITA | | 1.8 | | | 3.3 | | | (45.5)% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | | 2.6 | | | 4.1 | | | (36.6)% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITA % of net sales | | 4.4 | % | | 7.3 | % | | (2.9) | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales | | 6.3 | % | | 9.0 | % | | (2.7) | | | | | | | |
Net sales
The 9.5% decrease in Gas Cylinders sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of:
•Reduction in Alternative Fuel ("AF") cylinder sales;
•Subdued demand for industrial cylinders; and
•$0.3 million FX headwind.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•Positive sales of both medical and emergency response gas cylinders.
Adjusted EBITA
There was a 2.9 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in the First Quarter of 2025 relative to 2024. This was primarily driven by higher input costs and adverse mix.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 2.7 percentage point decrease in adjusted EBITDA for Gas Cylinders as a percentage of net sales in the First Quarter of 2025 relative to 2024 is the result of the decrease in adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales.
ELEKTRON
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Elektron were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | First Quarter | | % / point change | | | | | |
| In millions | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 v 2024 | | | | | | | |
| Net sales | | $ | 49.4 | | | $ | 37.7 | | | 31.0% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITA | | 7.3 | | | 5.0 | | | 46.0% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITDA | | 8.7 | | | 6.4 | | | 35.9% | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITA % of net sales | | 14.8 | % | | 13.3 | % | | 1.5 | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales | | 17.6 | % | | 17.0 | % | | 0.6 | | | | | | | |
Net sales
The 31.0% increase in Elektron sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of:
•Increased sales of MREs and chemical response kits in our Magtech division;
•Elevated sales of magnesium powders, especially those used in military applications, including countermeasure flares;
•Heightened demand for zirconium products in specialty industrial applications; and
•Healthy demand for magnesium aerospace products.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Decrease in demand for zirconium products used in auto-catalyst products, and
•Lower sales in the Oil and Gas industry.
Adjusted EBITA
The 1.5 percentage point increase in adjusted EBITA for Elektron as a percentage of net sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was a result of operational efficiencies and favorable mix offset by $0.2 million of legal cost recovery in 2024 and raw material re-pricing in our contracts.
Adjusted EBITDA
The 0.6 percentage point increase in adjusted EBITDA for Elektron as a percentage of net sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was predominantly the result of the increase in adjusted EBITA as a percentage of net sales as depreciation remained flat.
GRAPHIC ARTS
The net sales, adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITDA for Graphic Arts were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | First Quarter | | % / point change | | | | | |
| In millions | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2025 v 2024 | | | | | | | |

| Adjusted EBITA % of net sales | | (4.6) | % | | (27.0) | % | | 22.4 | | | | | | | |
| Adjusted EBITDA % of net sales | | (4.6) | % | | (27.0) | % | | 22.4 | | | | | | | |
Net sales
The 3.2% increase in Graphic Arts sales in the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was primarily the result of increased demand for photo-engraving plates.
Adjusted EBITA and EBITDA
The decreased loss in Graphic Arts during the First Quarter of 2025 from 2024 was the result of higher volumes coupled with the reducing cost of magnesium throughout 2024, there is typically a lag before this impact is recognized in the income statement through lower cost of sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity requirements arise primarily from obligations under our indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisitions, the funding of working capital and the funding of hedging facilities to manage foreign exchange and commodity purchase price risks. We meet these requirements primarily through cash flows from operating activities, cash deposits and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and accompanying ancillary hedging facilities and the Loan Note due in 2026. Our principal liquidity needs are:
•funding acquisitions, including deferred contingent consideration payments;
•capital expenditure requirements;
•payment of shareholder dividends;
•servicing interest on the Loan Notes, which is payable at each quarter end, in addition to interest and / or commitment fees on the Senior Facilities Agreement;
•working capital requirements, particularly in the short term as we aim to achieve organic sales growth; and
•hedging facilities used to manage our foreign exchange risks and aluminum purchase price risks.
We believe that, in the long term, cash generated from our operations will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and interest payments on our indebtedness. In the short term, we believe we have sufficient credit facilities to cover any variation in our cash flow generation. However, any major repayments of indebtedness will be dependent on our ability to raise alternative financing or to realize substantial returns from operational sales. Also, our ability to expand operations through sales development and capital expenditures could be constrained by the availability of liquidity, which, in turn, could impact the profitability of our operations.
We have been in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Notes and the Senior Facilities Agreement throughout all of the quarterly measurement dates from and including September 30, 2011, to March 30, 2025.
Luxfer conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries, joint ventures and affiliates. 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 provided by continuing operating activities was $5.2 million for the First Quarter of 2025 compared to $3.6 million in the First Quarter of 2024. It was primarily related to net income from operating activities offset by movements in working capital, and net of the following non-cash items: depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation charges; pension credit and net changes to assets and liabilities.
Investing activities
Net cash used by continuing investing activities was $1.2 million for the First Quarter of 2025, compared to $1.4 million in 2024, as a result of reduced capital expenditure in the quarter.
Financing activities
In the First Quarter of 2025, net cash used by continuing financing activities was $4.2 million, compared to $2.3 million provided by financing activities in 2024. We made net repayment of our overdraft facility of $2.0 million (2024: $4.3), net drawdown on our banking facilities of $2.2 million (2024: $10.6 million) and dividend payments of $3.5 million (2024: $3.5 million), equating to $0.13 per ordinary share respectively. In addition, we paid out $0.4 million (2024: $0.1 million) in settling share based compensation and $0.5 million (2024: $0.4 million) in repurchasing our own shares as part of the share buyback program, which equates to 40,000 shares (2024: 20,000 shares).
Capital Resources
Dividends
We paid year-to-date dividends in 2025 of $3.5 million (2024: $3.5 million), or $0.13 per ordinary share (2024: $0.13).
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 U.K.-adopted International Accounting Standards, 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.

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.

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 the end of the quarter ended March 30, 2025 , 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 the quarter ended March 30, 2025, 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 March 30, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A. of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025.
