Koppers Holdings Inc. is a global provider of treated wood products, wood treatment chemicals, and carbon compounds, serving key infrastructure sectors such as railroads and utilities. In its second quarter of 2025, Koppers reported sales of $504.8 million, a decrease from the previous year’s $563.2 million, and a net income of $16.4 million, down from $26.8 million. Despite the drop in sales, the company achieved an adjusted EPS of $1.48, an improvement from $1.36 in the prior year, and maintained a stable adjusted EBITDA of $77.1 million. The company attributed its performance to cost-saving measures and strategic decisions, such as exiting the phthalic anhydride business, which helped offset revenue declines. Koppers’ CEO highlighted the success of their ‘Catalyst’ transformation process, which has led to a leaner organization and improved margins. Looking ahead, Koppers revised its 2025 sales forecast to $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion, down from a previous estimate of $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion, reflecting continued demand challenges. However, the company remains optimistic about achieving higher adjusted EBITDA margins and plans to use free cash flow to reduce debt.
