2025 Q3 Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Sales Growth Strong Nine months Sales reached $524.1M, marking a 16.6% increase driven by pricing and Cornerstone acquisition.
Divestiture Announced Agreement signed Sept 10, 2025, to sell business; Q1 2026 close expected, recognized $83.9M impairment.
Profitability Reversal Total Net Loss $76.9M for nine months, reversing prior year net income $23.8M; operating income fell 31.3%.
Cornerstone Acquisition Acquired Cornerstone assets in May 2025 for $41.3M cash, boosting virgin sulfuric acid production capacity.

Risk Factors

Net Loss Impact Nine months net loss $76.9M contrasts sharply with $23.8M income last year; gross profit declined 7.5%.
Tax Rate Spike Effective tax rate soared to 113.4% for nine months due to significant discrete tax impacts from divestiture.
Internal Control Weakness Material weakness identified in Zeolyst Joint Venture accounting controls; remediation expected by year-end 2025.
Operating Income Decline Operating income dropped 31.3% to $43.1M due to higher other operating expenses and lower gross profit.

Outlook

Divestiture Closing Expected Expect Advanced Materials & Catalysts Sale completion in Q1 2026, requiring mandatory partial repayment of Term Loan.
Liquidity Position Strong Cash plus ABL availability ($184.7M total liquidity) expected sufficient to meet needs for next twelve months.
Repurchase Program Update $202.2M available for share repurchases after Board removed time limitation on the existing program.
Interest Rate Hedging Interest rate caps hedge variable debt; $2.5M derivative asset value reflects Level 2 inputs as of Sept 30.
