What the filing says
Koppers reported Q2 2026 net sales of $520.1M (vs. $504.8M prior year) but posted a $147.5M net loss due to $215.8M in impairment, restructuring, and plant closure costs. The company is accelerating closure of its Stickney, Illinois CMC plant and advancing RUPS network optimization. Adjusted EPS fell to $1.37 from $1.48; adjusted EBITDA declined 7.9% to $71.0M. Full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance narrowed to $240–250M (from $240–260M) and adjusted EPS to $3.80–4.20 (from $3.80–4.60). Record year-to-date operating cash flow of $96.3M and free cash flow of $72.6M enabled $47.4M in shareholder returns.
Why this rating
Large $215.8M non-cash impairment (36% of market cap) signals asset quality issues; earnings guidance reduction material but offset by strong cash generation and debt paydown capacity.
