What the filing says
GrafTech reported Q2 2026 sales volume of 30.8k MT (up 8% YoY), but net sales of $127M (down 3% YoY) due to weighted-average realized pricing of $3,900/MT, down 7% YoY. The company posted a net loss of $40M ($1.54/share), adjusted EBITDA of $2M, and negative adjusted free cash flow of $75M. In June 2026, GrafTech drew the final $100M of its delayed-draw term loan facility (closed Dec 2024), bringing total liquidity to $253M ($145M cash, $108M revolver availability) and gross debt to $1,225M with net debt of $1,080M. Management reaffirmed 5–10% full-year volume growth guidance and signaled pricing actions (securing new commitments at 15% premium) to offset industry overcapacity.
Why this rating
Volume growth and pricing actions are positive; heavy debt ($1,225M gross, 488% of market cap), persistent operating losses, negative cash flow, and compressed margins are concerning. Routine earnings release with execution on strategy but structural headwinds. No material M&A, restatement, or leadership change.
