<p><strong>前瞻性声明</strong></p>
<p>本新闻稿包含符合 1995 年《私人证券诉讼改革法案》和 1933 年《证券法》安全港条款的 “前瞻性声明”。这些声明的特征在于它们并不严格与历史或当前事实相关。我们基于对未来事件的假设、预测和期望作出这些前瞻性声明，我们认为这些假设是基于当前可用信息的合理基础，包括关于经济衰退的潜在影响；关税，包括报复性关税、“贸易战” 以及围绕关税变化的不确定性；通货膨胀和全球供应链限制对公司业务、运营结果和财务状况的影响；我们期望保持足够的流动性并遵守公司信贷设施的条款；对未来需求和原材料成本的预期；以及关于原材料成本上升和定价措施影响的声明。这些前瞻性声明包括关于我们的信念、计划、目标、期望、预期、意图、财务状况、运营结果、未来表现和业务的声明，这些可能与我们的实际结果存在重大差异，包括但不限于收购和剥离的潜在好处、全球供应链限制和其他宏观经济压力和不确定性对我们业务的影响，包括政治和地缘政治事件、社会动荡以及流行病/疫情或极端天气事件和其他自然灾害可能对区域经济条件的不利影响，以及我们当前和未来的结果和计划，以及包含 “可能”、“可以”、“应该”、“会”、“相信”、“期望”、“预期”、“估计”、“打算”、“展望”、“目标”、“可能”、“潜在”、“计划” 或类似表达的声明。这些声明包括与当前和未来业务活动、运营事务、资本支出和融资来源相关的信息。一个主要风险是公司产品和服务的需求在很大程度上源于客户产品的需求，这使公司面临与客户业务下滑和意外客户生产放缓和停工相关的不确定性。其他主要风险和不确定性包括但不限于通货膨胀压力，包括原材料成本的上升；供应链限制和经济衰退的影响；客户财务不稳定；高利率及其对我们和客户业务运营的影响；战争、恐怖主义和军事冲突的影响，包括乌克兰和中东的冲突，以及各国政府和政府组织为应对而采取的经济、政治和政府行动；特别是在全球多次选举和政权更迭的可能性下，经济和政治动荡；经济衰退的可能性；立法和监管发展，包括对现有法律和法规的变更，或其解释、适用或执行方式的变化；关税、贸易限制，以及其他国家对俄罗斯和白俄罗斯及/或其他政府组织施加的经济和其他制裁；许多跨国公司在俄罗斯暂停活动；外汇波动；适用税率和法规的重大变化及其潜在影响，包括因 H.R.1（通常称为 “一个美丽的大法案”）而产生的影响；恐怖袭击和其他暴力行为；我们行业整合的影响，包括主要客户的流失或整合、气候变化、火灾或其他自然灾害的影响；以及网络安全漏洞、网络安全攻击和其他技术故障及安全事件的潜在发生。此外，公司面临与钢铁、汽车、航空、工业设备、铝和耐用消费品行业客户相同的商业周期。我们的前瞻性声明受到与公司及其运营相关的风险、不确定性和假设的影响，这些因素可能会因各种重要因素而发生变化，其中一些因素超出我们的控制范围。这些与我们业务相关的风险、不确定性和可能不准确的假设可能导致我们的实际结果与预期和历史结果存在重大差异。本新闻稿中包含的所有前瞻性声明，包括对未来时期的期望，均基于截至本新闻稿日期公司可获得的信息，这些信息可能会发生变化。因此，我们提醒您不要对我们的前瞻性声明过度依赖。有关这些风险和不确定性以及我们面临的某些额外风险的更多信息，请参阅我们截至 2025 年 12 月 31 日的年度报告 Form 10-K 中的风险因素部分，以及不时向证券交易委员会提交的后续报告。我们不打算，也不承担更新或修订任何前瞻性声明以反映新信息或未来事件或出于任何其他原因的责任。</p>

</div><p>Joseph A.

We will continue to prioritize growth while balancing overall capital allocation and returning cash to shareholders.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>首席执行官兼总裁 Joseph A. Berquist 评论道：“增加的回购授权为我们提供了额外的灵活性，以有序地执行我们的资本配置优先事项。我们将继续优先考虑增长，同时平衡整体资本配置并向股东返还现金。”</p>
</div><p>The Company is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock from time to time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future.</p>

</div><p><strong>Forward-Looking Statements</strong></p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p><strong>前瞻性声明</strong></p>
</div><p>This press release contains &#34;forward-looking statements&#34; that fall under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions, projections and expectations about future events that we believe are reasonable based on currently available information, including statements regarding the potential effects of economic downturns; tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs, &#34;trade wars&#34; and uncertainty surrounding changes in tariffs; inflation and global supply chain constraints on the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition; our expectation that we will maintain sufficient liquidity and remain in compliance with the terms of the Company's credit facility; expectations about future demand and raw material costs; and statements regarding the impact of increased raw material costs and pricing initiatives. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance, and business, which may differ materially from our actual results, including but not limited to the potential benefits of acquisitions and divestitures, the impacts on our business as a result of global supply chain constraints and other macroeconomic stresses and uncertainties, including political and geopolitical events, civil disturbances and endemics/pandemics or extreme weather events and other natural disasters that may adversely affect regional economic conditions, and our current and future results and plans and statements that include the words &#34;may,&#34; &#34;could,&#34; &#34;should,&#34; &#34;would,&#34; &#34;believe,&#34; &#34;expect,&#34; &#34;anticipate,&#34; &#34;estimate,&#34; &#34;intend,&#34; &#34;outlook,&#34; &#34;target,&#34; &#34;possible,&#34; &#34;potential,&#34; &#34;plan&#34; or similar expressions. Such statements include information relating to current and future business activities, operational matters, capital spending, and financing sources. A major risk is that demand for the Company's products and services is largely derived from the demand for its customers' products, which subjects the Company to uncertainties related to downturns in a customer's business and unanticipated customer production slowdowns and shutdowns. Other major risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, inflationary pressures, including increases in raw material costs; supply chain constraints and the impacts of economic downturns; customer financial instability; high interest rates and their impact on our and our customers' business operations; the impacts from acts of war, terrorism and military conflicts, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as economic, political and governmental actions taken by various governments and government organizations in response; economic and political disruptions particularly in light of numerous elections globally and the possibility of regime changes; the possibility of economic recession; legislative and regulatory developments including changes to existing laws and regulations, or the way they are interpreted, applied or enforced; tariffs, trade restrictions, and the economic and other sanctions imposed by other nations on Russia and Belarus and/or other government organizations; suspensions of activities in Russia by many multinational companies; foreign currency fluctuations; significant changes in applicable tax rates and regulations and the potential impacts therefrom, including those arising from H.R.1, commonly known as the &#34;One Big Beautiful Bill Act&#34;; terrorist attacks and other acts of violence; the impacts of consolidation in our industry, including loss or consolidation of a major customer, the effects of climate change, fires, or other natural disasters; and the potential occurrence of cyber-security breaches, cyber-security attacks and other technology outages and security incidents. Furthermore, the Company is subject to the same business cycles as those experienced by our customers in the steel, automobile, aircraft, industrial equipment, aluminum and durable goods industries. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Company and its operations that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties, and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. All forward-looking statements included in this press release, including expectations about future periods, are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this press release, which may change. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. For more information regarding these risks and uncertainties as well as certain additional risks that we face, refer to the Risk Factors section, which appears in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in subsequent reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not intend to, and we disclaim any duty or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.</p>
