The turnaround in profitability was especially striking, as Constellium shifted from a net loss of $47 million in Q4 2024 to a net income of $113 million this quarter. Adjusted EBITDA surged 124% to $280 million, driven by improvements in all operating segments and a positive impact from non-cash metal price lag.
