QUAKER HOUGHTON ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2024 RESULTS
1. Q4 net sales fell 5% year-over-year due to lower selling prices and mix. Declining organic volumes and unfavorable currency impacted results. 2. GAAP net income dropped from $20.2M to $14.2M, with non‐GAAP metrics also down. Operating margins and adjusted EBITDA were similarly pressured. 3. Strong operating cash flow of $204.6M and shareholder returns of ~$82M were achieved. Strategic acquisitions and share repurchases supported liquidity. 4. CEO highlighted a $20M cost savings initiative in 2025 to improve competitiveness. New business wins, especially in Asia/Pacific, partially offset soft markets.
