    Overview

US treated wood products maker's Q1 sales nearly flat yr/yr, beating analyst expectations

Adjusted EPS for Q1 beat analyst expectations

Performance Chemicals gains offset by sharp decline in Carbon Materials and Chemicals profitability

Outlook

Koppers sees 2026 net sales between $1.9 bln and $2.0 bln

Company expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $240 mln to $260 mln

Koppers projects 2026 adjusted EPS between $3.80 and $4.60

Result Drivers

PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS GROWTH - Higher sales volumes and prices, especially in the Americas, drove gains in the Performance Chemicals segment

CARBON MATERIALS AND CHEMICALS DECLINE - Profitability fell sharply due to lower sales prices, higher raw material costs, and the end of phthalic anhydride production

RAILROAD AND UTILITY PRODUCTS WEAKNESS - Lower sales from customer mix changes, reduced maintenance-of-way activity, and price declines, partly offset by higher utility pole volumes and an acquisition
