Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 8, 2024 we issued a press release announcing third quarter of 2024 results. A copy of the press release is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is furnished herewith.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On November 8, 2024, certain subsidiaries of Koppers Holdings Inc. (Koppers, the Company, we or us) committed to a workforce reduction program across the U.S., which is intended to streamline operations and reduce cost.
This workforce reduction program will result in the reallocation of people and resources, which will include voluntary and involuntary reductions in employees. The first stage of reductions will be carried out through a voluntary exit program that will give eligible employees the option of taking a separation package that will include enhanced severance benefits consisting of cash and health and welfare coverage. The voluntary program will first be offered to approximately 90 employees in the U.S. The voluntary program is expected to reduce the number of involuntary separations.
At this time, we have not fully defined all of the specific cost reduction actions that may be taken. As such, while the charges and associated cash payments are expected to be material in the aggregate, we are unable at this time to make a good faith determination of the cost estimates, or ranges of cost estimates, associated with actions to be implemented. We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring charges including but not limited to employee severance and related benefit costs. We also expect to incur consulting and other professional service fees to help execute these actions as well as for the design and implementation of the future structures and processes.
In accordance with paragraph (d) of Item 2.05, the Company will timely file an amendment(s) to this Current Report on Form 8-K after its determination of such additional cost estimates or ranges of cost estimates. These cost reduction initiatives are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Future actions by the Company or changes in circumstances from current assumptions may cause actual results to differ.
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may include, but are not limited to, statements about sales levels, acquisitions, restructuring, cost reduction efforts, declines in the value of Koppers assets and the effect of any resulting impairment charges, profitability and anticipated expenses and cash outflows. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. Factors that might affect such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the risk that timing for completion of these actions may be delayed, or the risk that restructuring expenses may be more or less than anticipated, as well as those discussed more fully elsewhere in this report 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. Any forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Koppers Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results; Reaffirms 2024 Outlook
Record Third Quarter Sales of $554.3 Million vs. $550.4 Million in Prior Year Quarter
Third Quarter Diluted EPS of $1.09 vs. $1.22 in Prior Year Quarter
Adjusted EPS of $1.37 vs. $1.32 in Prior Year Quarter
PITTSBURGH, November 8, 2024 – Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP), an integrated global provider of treated wood products, wood treatment chemicals, and carbon compounds, today reported net income attributable to Koppers for the third quarter of 2024 of $22.8 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $26.3 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. The financial results in the current year quarter reflect the acquisition of Brown Wood Preserving Company (Brown Wood), which closed on April 1, 2024.
Adjusted net income attributable to Koppers and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $28.7 million and $1.37 per share for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $28.6 million and $1.32 per share in the prior year quarter.
Consolidated sales of $554.3 million were a record third quarter and increased by $3.9 million, or 0.7 percent, compared with $550.4 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding a $2.5 million favorable impact from foreign currency changes, sales increased by $1.4 million, or 0.3 percent.
The Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS) business generated record third-quarter sales, but profitability remained flat as higher costs and decreased activity in the crosstie recovery business offset sales increases and improved plant utilization.
The Performance Chemicals (PC) segment reported a slight decline in sales, as sales to Brown Wood are now considered affiliate sales, while profitability increased year-over-year as a result of lower costs, which were favorably impacted by timing.
The Carbon Materials and Chemicals (CMC) segment saw increased profitability despite experiencing lower sales prices, primarily driven by reduced raw material costs, lower selling, general and administrative costs, and higher volumes of carbon pitch and phthalic anhydride.
Chief Executive Officer Leroy Ball said, “Once again, I am pleased with the solid performance delivered by our global Koppers team in the third quarter, as evidenced by our strong financial results and solid safety performance. On the plus side, we generated improved sequential profitability in our railroad and carbon materials businesses, primarily driven by cost reduction initiatives undertaken earlier this year. However, we continued to experience reduced volumes year-over-year in our legacy utility pole business and lower sequential profitability in Performance Chemicals as a result of higher raw material costs. As always, the balance of our diversified business portfolio and our team’s ongoing commitment to solving everyday challenges demonstrated its value, keeping us on track to meet our 2024 goals.”
Third Quarter Financial Performance
•RUPS delivered record third-quarter sales of $248.1 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 6.0 percent, compared to $234.0 million in the prior year quarter. The sales growth was largely due to $10.0 million of pricing increases across multiple markets, particularly for domestic crossties and utility poles in Australia, and increased activity in the railroad bridge services business, partly offset by lower activity in the crosstie recovery business. Sales in the domestic utility pole business increased 11.0 percent, primarily attributable to Brown Wood. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $24.7 million, or 10.0 percent, compared with $25.1 million, or 10.7 percent, in the prior year quarter. Profitability was essentially flat as the net sales increase and $3.4 million from improved plant utilization were offset by $14.1 million of higher raw material, operating and selling, general and administrative expenses.
•PC generated third quarter sales of $176.7 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 1.5 percent, compared to sales of $179.4 million in the prior year quarter. Sales were lower primarily as a result of sales to Brown Wood now being affiliated sales. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $40.0 million, or 22.6 percent, compared with $35.2 million, or 19.6 percent, in the prior year quarter. Profitability increased despite lower sales, primarily due to lower year-over-year raw material and logistics costs, which were favorably impacted by timing.
•CMC reported third quarter sales of $129.5 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 5.5 percent, compared to sales of $137.0 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding a favorable impact from foreign currency changes of $1.8 million, sales decreased by $9.3 million, or 6.8 percent, from the prior year quarter. The sales decline was mainly due to $16.6 million of lower sales prices across most products, especially carbon pitch where prices were down approximately 20 percent globally, along with lower volumes of carbon black feedstock. The reduced prices for carbon pitch were driven by market dynamics, particularly in Europe. The decreases were partly offset by volume increases for carbon pitch and phthalic anhydride. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 was $12.7 million, or 9.8 percent, compared with $10.4 million, or 7.6 percent, in the prior year quarter. Profitability increased due to a $9.2 million reduction in raw material costs, particularly in Europe, lower selling, general and administrative costs, and higher volumes of carbon pitch and phthalic anhydride. These favorable drivers were partly offset by price decreases and higher operating expenses.
•Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $58.8 million, compared with $91.3 million for the prior year period. Net of insurance proceeds and cash provided from asset sales, capital expenditures were $55.0 million for the current year period, compared with $88.3 million for the prior year period.
2024 Outlook
After considering the current competitive environment, global economic conditions, as well as the ongoing uncertainty associated with geopolitical and supply chain challenges, Koppers expects 2024 sales of approximately $2.1 billion, compared with sales of $2.15 billion in 2023. As a result, adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be approximately $270 million to $275 million in 2024, including the acquisition of Brown Wood which closed on April 1, 2024, compared with $256.4 million in 2023.
The effective tax rate for adjusted net income attributable to Koppers in 2024 is projected to be approximately 28 percent, consistent with the adjusted tax rate in 2023. Accordingly, 2024 adjusted EPS is forecasted to be in the range of $4.25 to $4.45 per share, compared with $4.36 per share in 2023.
Koppers now expects operating cash flows of approximately $100 million to $125 million in 2024, excluding any impact from pension termination. The company is pursuing a termination of its U.S. qualified pension plan and is targeting this effort for completion in the first quarter 2025. An estimated $25 million of funding will be required when this is completed, which will impact operating cash flow in 2025.
Koppers continues to anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $80 million in 2024, including capitalized interest but excluding acquisitions, with approximately $20 million allocated to discretionary projects.
Commenting on the forecast, Mr. Ball said, “As 2024 winds down, I am gratified by our team’s resilience in the face of adversity. To be posting new highs across a number of important metrics in a challenging market environment is a testament to our grit and determination. Looking beyond this year, I believe we remain on track for continued growth in profitability and free cash flow, despite an intensely competitive environment. To ensure that improvement, during the fourth quarter, we will begin taking measures to streamline our organization to support an increasingly cost-conscious customer base. I believe these actions will help to extend our decade-long growth in profitability and support a higher margin profile by leveraging a smaller global team highly focused on serving customer preferences.”
Koppers does not provide reconciliations of guidance for adjusted EBITDA 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.

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 facilitate comparisons between periods and with other corporations in similar industries. The exclusion of certain items permits evaluation and a comparison 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.
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and may include, but are not limited to, statements about sales levels, acquisitions, restructuring, declines in the value of Koppers assets and the effect of any resulting impairment charges, profitability and anticipated expenses and cash outflows. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.
All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and words such as “outlook,” “guidance,” “forecast,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue,” “plan,” “potential,” “intend,” “likely,” or other similar words or phrases are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. 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, 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, the impact of changes in commodity prices, such as oil and copper, on product margins; 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; availability and fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials; disruptions and inefficiencies in the supply chain; economic, political and environmental conditions in international markets; changes in laws; the impact of environmental laws and regulations; 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. Any forward-looking statements in this release speak only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after that date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
