Constellium reports Q2 EPS 25c, consensus 27c

Reports Q2 revenue $2.1B, consensus $1.77B. Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s (CSTM) Chief Executive Officer said, “Constellium delivered solid results in the second quarter despite continued demand weakness across most of our end markets outside of packaging. As I said last quarter, I am proud of our team for their relentless focus on cost reduction efforts and commercial and capital discipline in this uncertain environment. Free Cash Flow was strong at $41 million in the quarter. We repurchased 3.4 million shares for $35 million during the quarter, and we ended the quarter with leverage at 3.6x. We expect this to be the peak for leverage and to trend down as we move through the rest of the year.”
