Koppers Holdings reports Q4 EPS 77c vs 67c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $477M vs $513M last year. Chief Executive Officer Leroy Ball said, “While 2024 results fell short of our expectations for performance, I am proud of the many accomplishments of Koppers team members worldwide that enabled us to make continued progress on our journey of creating the foundation for a connected world through our diverse portfolio of leading products and services. Record safety performance, continued advancements in sustainability, and financial performance in the final three quarters of the year that exceeded prior year in several key metrics are all highlights to build upon in 2025. While a pullback in sales activity in the last six weeks of the year in all segments proved to be too much to overcome, the cost actions we began taking in the fourth quarter are setting us up nicely to weather the uncertainty ahead that’s brought on by the unpredictable economic and policy environment.”
