Joel Hawthorne, CEO of GrafTech, commented:
Persistent weak demand in the global steel market has created a very challenging environment in the Industrial Materials segment. Graphite electrode demand has declined further as end market weakness continues and as global electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production has been partially displaced by Chinese steel exports. This market dislocation has created a challenging operating environment for our Company and the industry as a whole.
The previously announced capital infusion through the issuance of $150 million of convertible preferred stock to Brookfield will strengthen our capital structure and provide GrafTech with increased financial flexibility to address challenges through this difficult part of the cycle.
