Koppers Holdings Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

Sales increase 10% over prior year quarter

Global carbon pitch volumes increase over prior year quarter

Diluted EPS $0.98 compared to $0.96 for prior year quarter

PITTSBURGH, August 9, 2012 – Koppers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KOP) today announced results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter. Consolidated sales of $411.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 were 10%, or $36.8 million higher than sales in the prior year quarter. Sales for Carbon Materials and Chemicals (CMC) totaling $266.7 million increased by 12%, or $29.6 million over the prior year quarter while sales for Railroad and Utility Products and Services (RUPS) of $144.6 million increased by 5%, or $7.2 million over the prior year quarter. The increase in sales in CMC was due primarily to higher sales volumes and prices for our major products other than naphthalene, which more than offset lower naphthalene prices and approximately $11 million of lower sales due to foreign currency translation. RUPS sales increased due mainly to higher sales prices for railroad crossties due in part to higher volumes of creosote-borate treated crossties, which was partially offset by lower sales volumes for railroad crossties.

Net income attributable to Koppers for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was $20.4 million, or $0.98 per diluted share as compared to net income attributable to Koppers of $19.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. The increases in net income attributable to Koppers and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2012 were due mainly to sales price increases in both business segments, which were partially offset by lower profitability from European operations. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, were $22.1 million and $1.05 per share compared to $20.3 million and $0.98 per share in the prior year quarter after excluding $0.7 million of after-tax charges and $0.8 million of tax expense in the second quarter of 2012, and after excluding the impact of discontinued operations for both periods.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, was $49.2 million compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 after excluding $0.5 million of closure costs in the second quarter of 2012 for our wood treating plant in Grenada, Mississippi.

Consolidated sales of $792.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were 11%, or $76.2 million higher than the prior year period. Sales for CMC for the first six months of 2012 increased by 13%, or $60.5 million, over the prior year period while sales for RUPS increased by 6%, or $15.7 million, over the prior year period. The increase in sales in CMC was due to higher prices for our major products other than naphthalene, which more than offset lower prices for naphthalene and approximately $10 million of lower sales from foreign currency translation. Sales for RUPS increased due mainly to higher prices for railroad crossties and higher volumes for utility poles, which were partially offset by lower volumes for railroad crossties.


Net income attributable to Koppers and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $36.0 million and $1.72 per share, respectively as compared to net income attributable to Koppers of $28.7 million and $1.39 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share were $37.6 million and $1.80 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $28.7 million and $1.38 per share for the same period in 2011 after excluding $0.5 million of after-tax charges and $0.8 million of tax expense for 2012, $0.7 million of after-tax gains for 2011, and after excluding the impact of discontinued operations for both periods.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $85.9 million compared to $71.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, after excluding $0.5 million of plant closure costs in 2012 and $0.9 million of gains for the sale of technology in 2011.

Commenting on the results, Walter W. Turner, president and CEO of Koppers, said, “Given the economic downturn in Europe which has impacted our Carbon Materials and Chemicals business, I am, overall, pleased with the second quarter results. The North American Railroad and Utility Products and Services product demand continues to be quite strong as well as the Carbon Materials and Chemicals business in other regions of the world. Due to our diversity of products and global operations, our outlook for the balance of the year continues to be positive and we remain on pace to achieve significant earnings improvement over 2011.”

The following reconciliations are attached to this press release: Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Koppers and Adjusted Net Income; Unaudited Reconciliation of Diluted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted Earnings Per Share; and Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Cost of sales for CMC for the six months ended June 30, 2011 includes a gain of $0.9 million for the licensing of certain technology in China. These amounts have been excluded for purposes of calculating adjusted net income. These amounts have been excluded for purposes of calculating adjusted operating profit.

Koppers believes that adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit and adjusted EBITDA provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends and facilitates 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.

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.
