EAF--
The earnings call highlighted several key points. GrafTech's net loss of $87 million for the quarter was a significant contrast to the adjusted EBITDA of $3 million, down from $14 million in the same period last year. The company's revenue of $132 million was slightly below the forecast of $132.65 million, while the earnings per share (EPS) came in at -$0.16, missing the forecast of -$0.13. These results reflect ongoing operational challenges.
The market reacted negatively to the earnings report, with GrafTech's stock price decreasing by 5.19% in pre-market trading. The stock closed at $1.35, a notable decrease from its last close. This movement reflects investor concerns over the company's financial performance and future outlook.
GrafTech has revised its full-year cost savings guidance, projecting a 7-9% decline in cash COGS per metric ton. The company expects to increase sales volume by 10% in 2025 and anticipates full-year EBITDA to be at or slightly above breakeven. GrafTech remains optimistic about the structural tailwinds supporting the shift towards electric arc furnace steelmaking.
The company faces several risks and challenges, including supply chain disruptions, market saturation, macroeconomic pressures, competition from other steelmaking technologies, and fluctuations in raw material costs. Despite these challenges, GrafTech is focused on strategic initiatives such as cost reductions and market share expansion, particularly in the US and Western Europe.
