Sean Keohane, Cabot President and Chief Executive Officer commented: « I am very pleased with another strong year of Adjusted EPS growth where we achieved $7.25, up 3% year over year, in a year with a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. This performance was driven by higher EBIT in our Performance Chemicals segment which increased 18% year over year, partially offset by EBIT in our Reinforcement Materials segment which declined 5%. We delivered a solid fourth quarter with Adjusted EPS of $1.70, consistent with our expectations and which represents a decrease of 6% over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Our continued operational and commercial discipline along with strong execution allowed us to drive countermeasures to deliver earnings growth in a volatile economic environment.”

Keohane continued, “Strong operating performance in the year resulted in the company generating $665 million in operating cash flow, which enabled us to continue to deliver on our capital allocation priorities. In addition, we paid $96 million in dividends, including a 5% increase announced in May, and we repurchased $168 million of shares of our common stock. Our balance sheet remains strong despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.2 times, which allows us to invest to grow the company while returning capital to shareholders.” …
