GrafTech International Ltd. presents its annual report describing a business built around graphite electrodes and vertically integrated petroleum needle coke, both essential to electric arc furnace steelmaking. As of December 31, 2025, stated graphite electrode capacity was approximately 178 thousand metric tons across Calais, Pamplona and Monterrey.
The company highlights concentrated industry structure, global overcapacity and depressed spot prices around $4,100 per metric ton in 2025 as key pressures on revenue and margins. GrafTech also depends heavily on its Seadrift petroleum needle coke facility and a primary connecting-pin plant in Monterrey, creating supply risk if either is disrupted.
GrafTech reports $1.1 billion of secured debt outstanding, including notes due 2029, with $106.4 million available under its $225 million revolving credit facility. It employs 1,071 people worldwide, about 61% under collective agreements, and reports a 2025 total recordable incident rate of 0.41 per 200,000 work hours, underscoring its focus on health, safety and environmental compliance amid extensive regulatory and geopolitical risks.
A shareholder of EAF has filed a notice under Rule 144 to sell 875 shares of common stock through Charles Schwab on the NYSE, with an aggregate market value of $6,588.75. The planned sale date is approximately February 11, 2026, and there were 25,820,110 shares outstanding.
The shares to be sold were acquired in open market purchases from the issuer on three dates: 150 shares on May 22, 2018, 225 shares on June 4, 2018, and 500 shares on March 10, 2020, all paid in cash.
GrafTech International Ltd. reported weaker results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 amid intense graphite electrode pricing pressure. Q4 2025 net sales were $116 million, down 13% from $134 million a year earlier, with sales volume essentially flat but weighted-average realized price lower.
The company posted a Q4 net loss of $65 million, or $2.50 per share, and adjusted EBITDA of negative $22 million. For 2025, net sales were $504 million, down 6% year over year, and net loss widened to $220 million, or $8.45 per share, while adjusted EBITDA was negative $9 million. Cash from operations was negative $82 million and adjusted free cash flow was negative $115 million for the year.
GrafTech ended 2025 with total liquidity of $340 million, including $138 million of cash, against gross debt of $1,125 million and net debt of approximately $987 million. Management highlighted an 11% reduction in 2025 cash cost of goods sold per metric ton and a 6% increase in full-year sales volume, driven by strong growth in the United States.
Looking to 2026, the company expects a 5–10% increase in sales volume and projects a slight increase in global (excluding China) graphite electrode demand, but warns that industry pricing remains “unsustainably low.” It plans further cost reductions, continued geographic mix shifts toward the United States, and capital expenditures of about $35 million in 2026.
