Operating loss narrowed to $6 million from $179 million, while diluted loss per share improved to $(0.26) from $(3.50).

Ashland Inc. furnished a current report to share that it has announced preliminary results for its first fiscal quarter. The company refers investors to a separate news release, attached as Exhibit 99.1, for the detailed financial and operating information.

Ashland Inc. approved a one-time equity award for Chair and CEO Guillermo Novo with an award value of $2,000,000. The award is entirely in time-based restricted stock units that cliff-vest on December 31, 2028, if he remains employed through that date.
The grant will occur on the first business day two days after Ashland files its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with the number of RSUs based on the 25-day average closing price on the grant date. The award is made under Ashland’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan.
