Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

In the second quarter of 2025, Quaker Houghton reported a 4% year-over-year increase in sales, with organic sales volume rising by 2%. The company's performance was bolstered by significant growth in the Asia/Pacific region, where organic sales volume surged by 8%. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $42 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached $75.5 million, representing an increase of approximately $6 million sequentially and reflecting a margin of 15.6%. The company executed a capital allocation strategy that included $33 million in share repurchases and maintained a gross margin within the target range despite slightly higher raw material and manufacturing costs.

The company is also implementing a $20 million cost-saving program aimed at delivering $5 million to $8 million in incremental savings in the second half of 2025, with expectations for revenue and earnings to align with those of 2024.
