Chief Executive Officer Leroy Ball said, "I am extremely happy with our second quarter performance in every category other than top line revenue, where sluggish demand continued across all business segments. Our team's amazing commitment to our transformation process, Catalyst, is already bearing fruit, as evidenced by our ability to offset the impact on profitability from the sales decline through various cost-saving actions. Our global employee base has declined for 14 consecutive months, representing an 11 percent drop from its high point in April 2024. The decision to exit our phthalic anhydride business has also showed early returns and contributed positively to our margins in the quarter. Finally, strong operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures enabled us to reduce debt and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and quarterly dividends."

*(1) Non-GAAP financial measure. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information and reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measure determined and reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•RUPS net sales decreased due to lower volumes from Class I crosstie customers and lower activity in the crosstie recovery business. These decreases were partly offset by higher volumes in the commercial crosstie business, price increases and an increase in activity in the railroad bridge services business. Adjusted EBITDA increased due to $7.7 million of lower raw material, selling, general and administrative, and freight expenses as well as net sales price increases.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•PC net sales decreased due primarily to a 15 percent volume decrease mostly in the Americas resulting from a shift in U.S. market share. Adjusted EBITDA decreased due primarily to higher raw material costs and lower sales volumes, partly offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million, lower operating costs, and higher royalty income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•CMC net sales decreased mainly due to volume decreases of phthalic anhydride of $20.4 million as the company discontinued production and $11.0 million in lower volumes for carbon black feedstock as well as lower sales prices for carbon pitch, where prices were down approximately six percent globally. The reduced carbon pitch prices were driven by market dynamics, particularly in Australasia. These decreases were partly offset by volume increases for refined tar, naphthalene and creosote. Foreign currency changes compared to the prior year period from international markets had a $1.8 million favorable impact on sales in the current year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased due to $11.5 million of lower raw material, selling, general and administrative, and operating expenses, particularly in North America, along with a favorable sales mix, partly offset by price decreases and lower utilization from discontinuing phthalic anhydride production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $27.8 million, compared with $14.9 million in the prior year quarter. In the first quarter of 2025, the company paid $13.9 million related to the termination of its largest U.S. qualified pension plan.

**2025 Outlook**

After considering the current competitive environment, global economic conditions, as well as the ongoing uncertainty associated with geopolitical and supply chain challenges, Koppers is revising its sales forecast to be approximately $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion, compared with $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion previously. Accordingly, Koppers is reducing its 2025 financial forecast for adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $250 million to $270 million and adjusted EPS of approximately $4.00 to $4.60 per share, while maintaining its operating cash flow projection of $150 million. Although the company expects to realize significant benefit in 2025 from its cost reduction initiatives, current market conditions are reflecting a continued reduction in demand.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025 Forecast** | **2024 Actual** |
| Net sales | $1.9 - $2.0 billion | $2.09 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $250 - $270 million | $261.6 million |
| Effective tax rate | 30% | 26% |
| Adjusted EPS | $4.00 - $4.60 | $4.11 |
| Operating cash flow | $150 million | $119.4 million |
| Capital expenditures | $52 - $58 million | $77.4 million |

---

The forecasted operating cash flow includes any impact from planned pension terminations and other special items. The company completed the termination of its largest U.S. qualified pension plan in February 2025, which required additional funding of $1.6 million in 2024 and $13.9 million in 2025.

Commenting on the revised forecast, Mr. Ball 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. We remain confident in our original operating cash flow forecast and revised our capital spending targets lower to reflect no near-term needs for major projects. We plan to use the majority of the free cash flow generated over the back half of this year to reduce borrowings.

"The Catalyst transformation process, which we initiated at the beginning of this year, has already uncovered significant opportunity that suggests a consolidated sustainable mid to high teens adjusted EBITDA margin is achievable in the next two to three years. As volumes recover across our end markets, we expect an outsized impact on profitability and cash flow from Catalyst, reaping the benefits of a leaner organization with better tools and technology that position us as a supplier of choice."

Koppers does not provide reconciliations of guidance for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS to comparable GAAP measures, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception. Koppers is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include, but are not limited to, restructuring and impairment charges, acquisition-related costs, mark-to-market commodity hedging, and LIFO adjustments that are difficult to forecast for a GAAP estimate and may be significant. Forward-looking statements, including the guidance above, are based upon current expectations and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth above. Please see the "Safe Harbor Statement" below for more information.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Koppers believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income attributable to Koppers, and adjusted earnings per share provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends, and facilitates comparisons

------

between periods. The exclusion of certain items permits evaluation and a comparison between periods of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that Koppers management internally assesses the company's performance. In addition, the Board of Directors and executive management team use adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure under the company's annual incentive plans and for certain performance share units granted to management.

Although Koppers believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures and should be read in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measure. Other companies in a similar industry may define or calculate these measures differently than the company, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

See the attached tables for the following reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release: Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Unaudited Reconciliations of Net Income Attributable to Koppers to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Koppers and Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Earnings Per Share.

Any forward-looking statement contained herein, in other press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in Koppers communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course of business through meetings, phone calls and conference calls, regarding future dividends, expectations with respect to sales, earnings, cash flows, operating efficiencies, restructurings, cost reduction efforts, product introductions or expansions, the benefits of acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other matters as well as financings and debt reduction, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies.

Many of these risks, uncertainties and contingencies are beyond our control, and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things, availability of and fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials, including coal tar, lumber and scrap copper; the impact of changes in commodity prices, such as oil, copper and chemicals, on product margins; the successful implementation of multi-year cost mitigation programs; the extent of the dependence of certain of our businesses on certain market sectors and customers; economic, political and environmental conditions in international markets, including governmental changes, tariffs, restrictions on trade and restrictions on the ability to transfer capital across countries; general economic and business conditions; potential difficulties in protecting our intellectual property; the ratings on our debt and our ability to repay or refinance our outstanding indebtedness as it matures; our ability to operate within the limitations of our debt covenants; unexpected business disruptions; potential delays in timing or changes to expected benefits from cost reduction efforts; potential impairment of our goodwill and/or long-lived assets; demand for Koppers goods and services; competitive conditions; capital market conditions, including interest rates, borrowing costs and foreign currency rate fluctuations; disruptions and inefficiencies in the supply chain; changes in laws; the impact of environmental laws and regulations and compliance therewith; unfavorable resolution of claims against us, as well as those discussed more fully elsewhere in this release and in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Koppers, particularly our latest annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings by Koppers with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
