The earnings call highlighted positive developments in volume growth, EBITDA improvement, and strategic acquisitions. However, these were tempered by challenges in EMEA, cost pressures from tariffs, and a decline in the Americas segment. While the company is making strides in growth and cost management, ongoing market uncertainties pose risks.

Company Guidance

During the second quarter of 2025, Quaker Houghton demonstrated notable financial performance with a 4% year-over-year increase in sales, driven by a 2% rise in organic sales volume. The company's Asia/Pacific segment led with an 8% increase in organic sales volume, while acquisitions, such as Dipsol, contributed an additional 6% to sales. Despite macroeconomic challenges, Quaker Houghton maintained gross margins at 36%, albeit slightly down from the previous year, influenced by product and geographic mix and higher raw material costs. The company achieved $75.5 million in adjusted EBITDA, reflecting a margin of 15.6%, and generated $42 million in operating cash flow. Quaker Houghton executed a $33 million share repurchase as part of its capital allocation strategy. Looking ahead, the company expects end-market softness to persist but remains confident in achieving its long-term growth targets of 2% to 4% annually through continued business development and strategic cost actions aimed at yielding $20 million in additional savings by the end of 2026.
