Quaker Houghton is a global leader in industrial process fluids, providing innovative solutions to industries such as steel, automotive, and aerospace. The company is headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and operates in over 25 countries.
In its first quarter of 2025, Quaker Houghton reported net sales of $442.9 million, a decrease from the previous year. The company also announced a net income of $12.9 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.73. Despite the decline in sales, the company made strategic acquisitions to enhance its portfolio.
Key financial metrics for the quarter include a non-GAAP net income of $28.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of $69.0 million, reflecting a 17% decrease from the previous year. The decline in net sales was attributed to lower sales volumes, unfavorable foreign currency impacts, and a slight decrease in selling prices and product mix.
Quaker Houghton has made significant acquisitions, including Dipsol Chemicals and Natech, to strengthen its market position. These acquisitions are expected to provide growth opportunities and enhance the company’s global portfolio of advanced solutions.
Looking forward, Quaker Houghton anticipates continued uncertainty in demand due to economic conditions. However, the company remains confident in its ability to sustain growth through strategic initiatives and recent acquisitions, positioning itself well for future challenges.
