Howmet Aerospace reported a year-over-year operating margin increase to 17.2%, up from 16.5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by a combination of targeted pricing actions and ongoing cost control initiatives. The company achieved a 120 basis-point pricing benefit across its jet engine and airframe businesses, offsetting a 90 basis-point headwind from elevated raw material and energy costs. Management cited disciplined mix optimization in aerospace fastening systems and higher volume contributions from forged aluminum wheels as key factors supporting margin resilience. In its preliminary outlook, Howmet raised its full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a midpoint of $1.45 billion, representing a 3% increase over 2024, reflecting continued pricing strength and operational leverage despite persistent inflationary pressures.
