Background and business overview Luxfer Holdings PLC (“Luxfer,” “the Company,” “we,” “our”) is a global industrial company focused on niche applications in advanced materials engineering. We develop and manufacture high-performance materials, components, and high-pressure gas containment solutions for customers operating in defense, first response and healthcare, transportation, and specialty industrial markets. Luxfer’s strategy is centered on value creation through the application of deep technical expertise, proprietary technologies, and close collaboration with customers to solve complex engineering challenges. Our core product lines include magnesium alloys and powders, zirconium-based chemicals, aluminum and composite high-pressure gas cylinders, and carbon composite technologies. We believe we hold leading positions in several of our principal markets, including magnesium alloys and powders for aerospace, defense, and commercial applications; zirconium chemicals used in automotive catalytic converters and industrial catalysis; and high-pressure composite cylinders used in self-contained breathing apparatus and in the transport and storage of compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and hydrogen. Our competitive position is supported by proprietary manufacturing processes, long-standing customer relationships, strong customer service capabilities, and a global manufacturing footprint. Luxfer operates a global manufacturing network, and operated in 13 facilities during 2025 located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and China, and maintains a joint venture in Japan. One manufacturing facility relates to a discontinued operation and one facility ceased operations during 2025. We employ approximately 1,400 people worldwide, including temporary staff, with fewer than 50 employees supporting discontinued operations. For the year ended 2025, net sales from continuing operations were $384.6 million (2024: $391.9 million, 2023: $405.0 million). Net income from continuing operations was $13.1 million (2024: $18.3 million income, 2023: $2.6 million loss). During 2025, Luxfer operated through three business segments: Elektron, Gas Cylinders, and Graphic Arts. On July 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Graphic Arts business to Vulcan Metals Specialty Products, Inc., and following the transaction, Luxfer now operates through two reportable business segments: Elektron and Gas Cylinders. Elektron Segment The Elektron Segment develops and manufactures specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium. These materials are engineered for applications across defense, aerospace, transportation, energy, and industrial markets. In 2025, sales from our Elektron Segment represented approximately 51% (2024: 45%, 2023: 46%) of our consolidated net sales from continuing operations. The ten largest customers accounted for approximately 50% of segment sales. No singular customer represented 10% or more of our Elektron Segment sales. Key product lines include: • Magnesium alloys and engineered magnesium products designed for lightweighting, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance, used in aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and industrial applications. • Magnesium powders used in aircraft countermeasure flares, infrared decoys, and specialized defense applications, as well as heating elements for self-heating meals supplied to military and emergency-relief agencies. • Zirconium-based chemicals and oxides used in automotive catalytic converters, industrial catalysis, advanced ceramics, specialty glass, fuel cell components, pharmaceuticals, and other performance-critical applications. 1 Gas Cylinders Segment The Gas Cylinders Segment manufactures and markets specialized, highly engineered, high-pressure gas containment solutions using aluminum alloys and carbon composite technologies. These products are used across emergency response, healthcare, aerospace (including commercial aviation, defense and space), and alternative fuel transportation markets. In 2025, sales from the Gas Cylinders Segment represented approximately 45% (2024: 47%, 2023: 46%) of our consolidated net sales. The ten largest customers accounted for approximately 57% of segment sales. Two customers both represented 15% each of our Gas Cylinders Segment sales. No other singular customer represented greater than 10% of Gas Cylinders Segment sales.…
