SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

In light of requirements applicable to companies with a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange, Dauch Corporation ("Dauch") (NYSE: DCH; LSE: DCH) is announcing certain preliminary results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Third quarter net loss attributable to Dauch is expected to be in the range of $42 million to $47 million and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $355 million to $360 million. Additionally, Dauch is adjusting certain of its full year 2026 financial targets. Full-year 2026 sales are expected to be in the range of $10.8 billion to $10.875 billion, which includes the effects from metal market pass-throughs, compared to the previously announced target of $10.6 billion to $10.8 billion and the previously announced target range for Adjusted free cash flow is expected to be narrowed closer to the previously announced midpoint of that range. As Dauch continues to face macro headwinds into the fourth quarter, including select customer production volatility, rising inflation, and increasing energy costs, it is adjusting its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA target to a range of $1.350 billion to $1.375 billion, compared to its previously announced target of $1.360 billion to $1.425 billion.

The foregoing targets are based on the following updated assumptions for the full-year 2026 production outlook:

North AmericaEuropeChinaGlobal

~15.0 million~17.2 million~31.0 million~91.6 million

Dauch’s preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2026 are based on current estimates and remain subject to change based on the completion of Dauch’s closing and review processes and completion of internal control over financial reporting procedures.

Dauch will hold a conference call to discuss third quarter financial results and other related matters at 10:00 a.m. ET (15:00 GMT) on Friday, November 6, 2026. A press release announcing Dauch’s full results for the third quarter will be issued before the market opens on the same day and will be available at www.dauch.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Dauch has provided Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA outlook and Adjusted free cash flow financial information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report") which are financial measures that are not part of the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA outlook information are reconciled herein to their most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The amounts in these reconciliations are based on our current estimates and actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking estimates for many reasons, including potential event driven transactional and other non-core operating items and their related effect
