Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Constellium delivered solid third quarter results with strong Adjusted EBITDA growth and our third consecutive quarter of positive Free Cash Flow generation. Notably, our team was able to deliver these results despite more challenging than expected end market conditions during the third quarter and weaker than expected performance by Automotive Structures and Industry. I am pleased that both Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products and Aerospace and Transportation were able to maintain their strong momentum from the first half of the year.

Mr. Germain continued, “Based on our current outlook, we expect Adjusted EBITDA growth of 12% to 14% and expect Free Cash Flow of €125 million to €175 million. We remain focused on increasing shareholder value by delivering on our long-term Adjusted EBITDA and leverage targets.”
