GrafTech International Ltd. Reaffirms Earnings Guidance for Year 2026 GrafTech International Ltd. reaffirmed earnings guidance for year 2026. Demand for graphite electrodes is expected to improve modestly in 2026, supported by stable-to-improving steel production trends outside of China. While steel market conditions remain mixed, in the United States, demand has been relatively stable and is expected to increase modestly, with steel production further supported by favorable trade policies. In Europe, steel industry conditions have been more challenged, though there are early signs of recovery, including expected demand growth and recently approved increases in trade protections. For GrafTech, they continue to expect a 5–10% year-over-year increase in graphite electrode sales volume for 2026, with more than 85% of their anticipated volume already committed in their order book. While volume trends are stable, current industry-wide pricing levels do not reflect the indispensable nature of graphite electrodes for electric arc furcnace steelmaking. As a result, they are taking deliberate actions to restore more sustainable pricing and improve their profitability. These include implementing price increases of $600 to $1,200 per metric ton on uncommitted volume, actively supporting graphite electrode trade cases in key jurisdictions, including the United States and Brazil, continuing to optimize their order book by prioritizing higher-value regions and foregoing volume opportunities where margins are unacceptably low.

Captioned Porter v. GrafTech International Ltd., No. 24-cv-00154 (N.D. Ohio), the GrafTech class action lawsuit charges GrafTech, certain of its top current and former executive officers, BCP IV GrafTech Holdings LP, Brookfield Capital Partners Ltd., and Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Case Allegations: The GrafTechclass action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) GrafTech’s manufacturing operations in Monterrey, Mexico had for decades chronically contaminated neighboring communities with harmful carcinogenic gasses and particulate matter; (ii) GrafTech had signed agreements with local authorities committing itself to improving the environmental performance of its Monterrey facility, but repeatedly failed to honor these commitments; (iii) GrafTech had been repeatedly warned over an approximately 30-year period regarding its wanton disregard for the environment and health and well-being of people near its operations in Monterrey, Mexico; (iv) GrafTech’s operations in Monterrey, Mexico were not in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations; (v) GrafTech had failed to adequately remediate the environmental problems caused by the Monterrey facility following the 2019 administrative proceeding conducted by the Department of Sustainable Development of the State of Nuevo León; (vi) the government of Apodaca had sought intervention from the State of Nuevo León authorities to curtail and prevent the adverse environmental impacts and noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations caused by the Monterrey facility; (vii) GrafTech’s purported cost leadership was achieved in substantial part by failing to implement appropriate and effective environmental safeguards at its manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico; (viii) GrafTech’s capital expenditures and/or related operational projects were woefully insufficient to adequately address the harm that GrafTech’s operations in Monterrey, Mexico had inflicted on the environment and people within the neighboring communities; (ix) as a result of the above, GrafTech was acutely exposed to undisclosed material risks that GrafTech’s manufacturing operations in Monterrey, Mexico would be severely disrupted by government action or enforcement; and (x) as a result of the above, GrafTech was acutely exposed to undisclosed material risks that its supplies of pin stock and graphite electrodes would be withdrawn and/or materially diminished, thereby materially harming GrafTech’s business, operations, reputation, and financial results. The Lead Plaintiff Process: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased GrafTech common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the GrafTechclass action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.

The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the GrafTechclass action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the GrafTechclass action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Tillkännagivande • Jan 20
