In August 2026, the Company repurchased the remaining $119.0 million of shares available under its previously authorized $400 million share repurchase program. "Following our recent fourth quarter earnings release, we effectively exhausted the previous authorization based on our conviction in Carpenter Technology's long-term value creation opportunity," said Tony R. Thene, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are delivering record results, and we believe the same dynamics that drove our success through fiscal year 2026 are only strengthening as we look ahead. We are operating in an accelerating demand environment across many of the most attractive end-use markets in the world, supported by highly specialized solutions and our unique collection of assets and leading capabilities. Our recently communicated fiscal year 2027 outlook represents significant growth over our record fiscal year 2026 performance. Looking beyond fiscal year 2027, our brownfield capacity expansion project, expected to come online beginning in fiscal year 2028, provides an additional accelerator to our earnings growth profile. With our strong balance sheet and growing cash flow generation, we have the flexibility to continue to execute our balanced capital allocation philosophy by investing in profitable growth opportunities while returning meaningful capital to shareholders. The Board’s additional authorization demonstrates our commitment to return substantial cash to shareholders via an active share repurchase program to complement our longstanding dividend." Repurchases under the authorization may be made from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or other methods, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. The authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time. The Company expects to fund repurchases through cash generated from operations and available liquidity.
