Koppers Holdings (KOP) Q2 FY26 earnings call

Koppers delivered strong cash generation and advanced its strategic transformation in Q2 FY26, highlighted by the accelerated closure of the Stickney facility. Despite facing significant cost headwinds from rising raw material, freight, and logistics expenses, particularly impacting the CMC and RUPS segments, the company saw robust performance in Performance Chemicals and Utility and Industrial Products. Management remains focused on cost recovery, network optimization, and executing its Catalyst program to achieve long-term margin expansion and debt reduction targets.
