Full Year 2026 outlook
- Revenue$1,000m - $1,040m
- NoteAdjusted EBITDA: $182m - $187m
What drove it
- Aerospace and IGT end markets grew 47% and 42%, respectively.
- Engine Products combined revenue grew 39%, supported by above-market growth, product portfolio gains and metal cost inflation pass-through to customers.
- Segment adjusted EBITDA growth in Engine Products was driven by higher volumes and value-based pricing.
- Operating leverage from higher volumes and execution of value-based pricing supported Engine Products segment adjusted EBITDA margin.
- A fourth Strategic Customer Partnership was signed with an Aero OEM, including volume commitments supporting a new superalloy greenfield facility in Alabama.
- Four Aero and IGT OEM partnerships are expected to deliver more than $200 million of incremental annual revenue at an accretive margin, with customer-funded investment and volume commitments.
Concerns
- GAAP net loss widened to ($131) million from ($49) million, largely due to the Management Incentive Plan accrual, IPO expenses and award of a new incentive share scheme.
- GAAP net loss margin was (48.8)% versus (24.6)%.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.8% versus 17.9%; metal cost inflation pass-through diluted margin by 60 bps, alongside higher corporate costs and increased loss from business held for sale.
- Working capital increased due to ongoing investment to support growth and higher metal cost inflation pass-through.
- Capital expenditure is expected to remain elevated.
What to watch
- Delivery against Full Year 2026 revenue guidance of $1,000m - $1,040m.
- Delivery against Full Year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $182m - $187m.
- Progress of the new Alabama superalloy facility and volume commitments under the fourth Strategic Customer Partnership.
- The effect of metal cost inflation pass-through, higher corporate costs and the loss from business held for sale on adjusted EBITDA margin.
- Capacity-expansion investment and working-capital requirements as customer demand increases.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Adjusted net cash position of $274 million at June 28, 2026.
- Cash and cash equivalents of $846 million less borrowings of $573 million.
- Transaction adjusted net cash of $118 million reflects the inclusion of all the net proceeds of the IPO, greenshoe and private placements.
- IPO and private placement proceeds repaid the Shareholder PIK Loan and ABL revolving credit facility during the quarter.
- Post quarter end, the Company repaid the majority of the term loan and all of the MIP with beneficiaries reinvesting and purchasing DPC Holdings stock.
- Working capital increased due to ongoing investment to support growth and higher metal cost inflation pass-through.
- Capital expenditure is expected to remain elevated, with additional investments in capacity expansions to accommodate increased customer demand and delivery of two IGT Strategic Customer Partnerships.
Analysis
DPC reported record second-quarter revenue of $269 million, up 34% year over year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $48 million, up 33%. Management attributed the growth to Aerospace and IGT end-market growth of 47% and 42%, respectively. Engine Products combined revenue grew 39%, supported by above-market growth, product portfolio gains and metal cost inflation pass-through to customers.
Europe was the larger reported Engine Products segment at $123.3 million of gross segment revenue, up 48.7%, while North America reported $97.4 million, up 29.0%. Europe cited stronger end markets and OEM build rates, and North America cited increased output following capacity investment. Engine Products segment adjusted EBITDA grew 53%, with Europe at $29.8 million and North America at $22.0 million. Europe segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.2% and North America was 22.6%.
Profitability was mixed across reported measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.8%, compared with 17.9%, as metal cost inflation pass-through diluted the margin by 60 bps and the company incurred higher corporate costs and an increased loss from business held for sale. In contrast, GAAP net loss widened to ($131) million from ($49) million, which the company attributed largely to the Management Incentive Plan accrual, IPO expenses and the award of a new incentive share scheme. Adjusted net income improved to $6 million from a loss of ($11) million.
The balance sheet and capital structure changed materially during and after the quarter. IPO and private-placement proceeds repaid the Shareholder PIK Loan and ABL revolving credit facility. The company reported adjusted net cash of $274 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $846 million less borrowings of $573 million, while transaction adjusted net cash was $118 million. Post quarter end, the company repaid the majority of the term loan and all of the MIP. Working capital increased and capital expenditure is expected to remain elevated as DPC funds capacity expansions and strategic customer partnerships.
Management initiated Full Year 2026 guidance for revenue of $1,000m - $1,040m and Adjusted EBITDA of $182m - $187m. The outlook rests on structural demand drivers in Aerospace and IGT, continued larger portfolio-level awards, extended contracts with improved commercial terms, and strategic customer partnerships. The newly signed Aero OEM partnership supports investment in a superalloy facility in Alabama; management stated that four Aero and IGT OEM partnerships are expected to deliver more than $200 million of incremental annual revenue at an accretive margin.
