Koppers Q2 sales fall 10.4% to $504.8 million as company cuts 2025 sales and profit forecast
Koppers reported second quarter 2025 sales of $504.8 million, down from $563.2 million a year earlier, and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 versus $1.25. The company cut its 2025 forecast, lowering its sales outlook to $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion from $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion and its adjusted EBITDA outlook to $250 million to $270 million, because it expects continued lower demand. Adjusted EPS rose to $1.48 from $1.36, but the lower sales and guidance cut weigh on the outlook for shareholders.
