Sean Keohane, Cabot President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “I am pleased with our strong execution during the quarter as we continued to operate at a high level in a challenging environment, delivering Adjusted EPS of $1.61 and resulting in a solid first half of the fiscal year. Our results reflect disciplined execution across the organization, particularly in commercial and operational excellence. Performance Chemicals segment EBIT increased 18% year-over-year supported by continued strong momentum in our battery materials product line and higher

volumes in our specialty carbons product line. Reinforcement Materials segment EBIT declined 29% year-over-year, as 3% higher volumes were more than offset by lower gross profit per ton. Overall, I am encouraged by our team’s performance as we navigate dynamic market conditions.”
Keohane continued, “As we continue to optimize our asset footprint, the Company intends to target capacity rationalization at facilities in South America and Europe, subject to local consultation processes. These actions are intended to better align production with demand conditions and enable a more efficient manufacturing network to meet our customer supply needs. We expect these actions will generate annualized fixed cost savings of approximately $22 million once fully implemented.”
Keohane continued, “We continued to generate strong operating cash flow that enabled us to invest in capital expenditures and return cash to shareholders. Our balance sheet remains strong with available liquidity of $1.3 billion and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.5 times as of March 31, 2026. I am pleased with the solid cash flow performance and our strong balance sheet, which enable us to continue to deliver on our capital allocation priorities.”

Segment Results
Reinforcement Materials – Second quarter fiscal 2026 EBIT in Reinforcement Materials decreased by $38 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The decrease in EBIT was largely driven by lower gross profit per ton, primarily due to lower pricing and product mix in our calendar year 2026 tire customer agreements and from increased competitive intensity in Asia Pacific. Volumes increased by 3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 driven by higher volumes across all regions.
