Watch Items from the Filing

UK defined benefit pension 'buy-out' expected Q3 2026 will trigger a noncash settlement charge, recognizing $454M of unrecognized pension losses currently sitting in AOCI.
North and Central America segment comparable operating margin fell to 10% from 13% YoY as $44M of higher operating and plant start-up costs outpaced price/mix gains.
A Brazilian subsidiary received an income tax assessment disallowing deductions tied to a prior acquisition; the company cannot predict the outcome or estimate a reasonably possible loss.
Company still has $2.82 billion available under its $4.00 billion share repurchase authorization (through 2027), signaling continued capital return capacity.
Company plans roughly $600M of 2026 share repurchases and $210M of dividends while committing $299M of contracted capex, alongside rising aluminum input prices flagged as an ongoing, unpredictable cost pressure.
