Materion expects $20-25 million charge; full-year adjusted EPS $5.40-$5.45
Materion said a quality issue at a large precision clad strip customer will lead to a fourth-quarter charge of about $20 to $25 million, excluded from non-GAAP results. The company estimates adjusted EPS of $1.50-$1.55 for the fourth quarter and $5.40-$5.45 for full-year 2025, which it says is slightly below the midpoint of its full-year guidance. Shareholders get a preliminary view ahead of the February 12, 2026 earnings release, and the figures remain unaudited.
