Koppers Holdings Inc. (KOP), an integrated provider of treated wood products, wood treatment chemicals, and carbon compounds, on Friday revised down its annual guidance.
Leroy Ball, CEO of Koppers, said: "With the second quarter under our belt and no expectation of demand improvement in most of our end markets for the back half of this year, we are adjusting our full-year guidance accordingly. Achieving the revised guidance would represent an increase of approximately 5 percent in adjusted EPS, at the midpoint, over 2024 and one of our higher adjusted EBITDA margin levels."
For fiscal 2025, the company now expects adjusted income of around $4 to $4.60 per share, down from the earlier outlook of $4.75 per share.
Excluding items, EBITDA now anticipated to be $250 million to $270 million against the prior guidance of $280 million.
Koppers now projects sales of $1.9 billion to $2 billion, compared with $2 billion to $2.2 billion previously.
For fiscal 2024, the company had recorded adjusted income per share of $4.11, with adjusted EBITDA of $261.6 million, on sales of $2.09 billion.
For fiscal 2025, Koppers now projects capital expenditure of $52 million to $58 million against the earlier expectation of $65 million. For fiscal 2024, the firm had recorded capital expenditure of $77.4 million.
KOP was down by 8.33% at $30.50 in the pre-market trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
