Quaker Houghton reports Q2 adjusted EPS $1.71, consensus $1.87

Reports Q2 revenue $483.4M, consensus $462.57M. Joe Berquist, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “Quaker Houghton (KWR) executed well in the second quarter of 2025. We generated 2% year-over-year organic volume growth in the quarter, delivering above market growth due to strong new business wins across all segments. The momentum in our Asia/Pacific segment continued, generating 8% organic volume growth compared to the prior year. I am proud of how the team adapted to the challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, while maintaining a clear focus on our customers. We also made progress in the quarter advancing our enterprise strategy while effectively managing costs. Economic conditions are likely to remain tepid in the second half of 2025. While this challenging environment of uncertainty persists, we have meaningful opportunities across our portfolio to gain profitable new business. We have also initiated actions that we expect will deliver approximately $20 million of additional run-rate cost savings by the end of 2026. We expect to achieve a stronger performance from our business in the second half, positioning us to deliver full year 2025 revenue and earnings in the range of 2024. Our strong balance sheet and consistent cash flow generation will enable us to continue to execute the capital allocation levers at our disposal and create value for shareholders.”
