DPC Holdings initiated full-year 2026 guidance of $1.0B to $1.04B in revenue and $182M to $187M in adjusted EBITDA, advancing a $50M superalloy manufacturing facility in Auburn, Alabama that the company said will create 70 jobs within three years.
The guidance spans a $40M revenue band and a $5M adjusted EBITDA range. DPC's Alabama site, announced in late July at the Farnborough Airshow, marks the company's first disclosed domestic capacity expansion in aerospace-grade superalloys, a segment that supplies components for military and commercial turbine engines.
DPC Holdings is a portfolio company focused on specialty engineered materials and precision-machined components for defense and aerospace customers. The company operates across multiple U.S. and international facilities and reported revenue of roughly $900M in trailing twelve-month performance before this guidance.
Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $182M to $187M implies an operating margin between 17.5 and 18.7 percent at the midpoint of the revenue range, consistent with the company's historical performance in high-specification manufacturing. The Alabama facility is expected to reach production capacity over a multi-year ramp, with initial hiring beginning in the coming quarters.
Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama announced the expansion as part of the state's industrial incentive package. The facility will support existing customer contracts and position DPC for additional aerospace original equipment manufacturer demand tied to defense modernization spending.
DPC's guidance comes as aerospace suppliers face sustained pressure to increase capacity for military platforms. The company's decision to establish a new U.S. manufacturing footprint rather than rely on overseas sourcing follows both customer security requirements and the availability of federal and state manufacturing incentives in Alabama.
DPC's adjusted EBITDA guidance of $182M-$187M on $1.0B-$1.04B revenue yields a midpoint margin of 18.1 percent, unchanged from the company's recent trailing performance. The Alabama facility will ramp at breakeven or near-breakeven economics through 2026, adding $100M in annual revenue relative to the company's trailing twelve-month baseline while holding margins flat.
