Jean-Marc Germain, Constellium’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Constellium delivered solid results in the third quarter. Our improvement compared to last year was driven by continued operational performance, steady end market demand and Project 2019 cost savings, which were partially offset by higher planned maintenance and other costs. We continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA growth of 11% to 13% in 2018.”
Mr. Germain continued, “I am pleased with the progress the team is making on executing our strategy, including delivering on our growth projects and on Project 2019. Our focus remains on delivering on our guidance of over €500 million of Adjusted EBITDA and positive Free Cash Flow in 2019. We are committed to driving increased shareholder value.”
