Ecovyst Inc. (ECVT) announced that its Board of Directors appointed Laurie Bergman as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, effective August 24, 2026, succeeding Michael Feehan, who has held the role since August 2021.
Feehan is expected to remain employed by a subsidiary through September 30, 2026 to support a smooth transition and to receive severance consistent with a prior agreement, including salary, bonus, benefit continuation and pro rata treatment of performance-based stock units. The company entered into an offer letter with Bergman that sets her base salary, bonus opportunity, long-term equity incentive range, a sign-on cash bonus, and a one-time restricted stock unit award, and provides severance and benefit continuation if she is terminated without cause, subject to a release and restrictive covenants. Ecovyst issued a press release reiterating her prior CFO and audit committee experience and describing Ecovyst’s sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide business.
Ecovyst Inc. reported strong continuing-operations results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and raised its full-year 2026 outlook. Q2 sales grew 42% to $250.0 million, driven by higher volumes and pricing, while net income from continuing operations rose to $10.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $53.1 million.
For the first six months of 2026, cash from operating activities from continuing operations reached $55.2 million. On June 30, Ecovyst completed the acquisition of the Calabrian sulfur dioxide and derivatives business, contributing to higher debt and a net debt leverage ratio of 2.0x, with total available liquidity of $176.3 million.
Reflecting performance and the expected contribution from Calabrian, Ecovyst now guides 2026 sales to $1,020–$1,060 million, Adjusted EBITDA to $195–$207 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to $45–$55 million. The company repurchased 3,226,461 shares in the first half of 2026 for $35.7 million.
Ecovyst Inc. completed the previously announced acquisition of the entire issued share capital of INEOS Calabrian Holdings Corp. and INEOS Calabrian Corporation Canada, Inc. for a purchase price of $190 million, subject to customary cash and working capital adjustments.
To help fund the deal, wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment to their existing Term Loan Credit Agreement, adding a $100.0 million first lien Incremental Term Loan. This new borrowing is fungible with the existing term loans, shares the same collateral, maturity and amortization schedule, and bears interest at either Term SOFR plus 2.00% per annum or ABR plus 1.00% per annum at the Borrowers’ option. Proceeds were used to finance the acquisition, pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.
Ecovyst Inc. held its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 20, 2026. There were 109,450,306 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date and 100,214,085 shares were represented in person or by proxy.

Ecovyst Inc. reported significantly improved first quarter 2026 results and raised its full-year 2026 outlook. Sales from continuing operations were $215.0 million, up 50% from $143.1 million a year earlier, driven by higher sulfuric acid prices and volumes, including contribution from the Waggaman assets.
The company generated net income from continuing operations of $5.7 million, compared with a loss of $8.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $39.8 million, up 87% from $21.3 million, as stronger pricing and demand more than offset higher manufacturing and transportation costs. Operating cash flow from continuing operations increased to $19.6 million from $6.7 million, and Ecovyst repurchased $35.7 million of stock in the quarter.
For 2026, Ecovyst now guides to sales of $890–$970 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $180–$195 million, both higher at the low end than prior guidance. The company expects continued strong demand for regenerated sulfuric acid and higher virgin sulfuric acid sales, while remaining cautious on some industrial applications.

The agreement includes customary warranties, limited indemnities and a warranty and indemnity insurance policy obtained by the purchasers, and is governed by English law with disputes to be resolved by ICC arbitration.
Ecovyst Inc. reported a transformative 2025 marked by a major divestiture, deleveraging and steady underlying earnings. The company sold its Advanced Materials & Catalysts segment to Technip Energies for $556 million, then used $465 million of proceeds to repay its Term Loan, cutting total debt to $397.1 million and reducing its net debt leverage ratio to 1.2x at year-end.
From continuing operations, 2025 sales rose to $723.5 million from $598.3 million, driven by higher sulfur pass-through, stronger pricing for regenerated sulfuric acid and increased virgin sulfuric acid volume, including the Waggaman, Louisiana acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA was broadly flat at $172.0 million versus $172.7 million, as higher volumes and prices were offset by inflationary, maintenance and transport costs.
GAAP net income from continuing operations fell to $6.3 million from $45.5 million, while total net loss was $71.1 million, reflecting discontinued operations and tax effects. Ecovyst generated $118.1 million of operating cash flow from continuing operations and ended 2025 with $197.2 million in cash and total liquidity of $264.8 million. The company repurchased 5.75 million shares for $47.4 million and removed the expiration date on its $450 million repurchase authorization.
For 2026, Ecovyst targets sales of $860–$940 million (excluding sulfur pass-through uplift at the midpoint), Adjusted EBITDA of $175–$195 million, Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $35–$55 million, capital expenditures of $80–$90 million and Adjusted Net Income of $55–$75 million, supported by expected strong refinery utilization and mining-driven demand for virgin sulfuric acid.
Ecovyst Inc. completed the sale of its Advanced Materials & Catalysts business to Technip Energies N.V. for a cash purchase price of $556 million, subject to customary closing adjustments.

At closing, Ecovyst used the proceeds to reduce debt under its term loan, making a partial mandatory repayment of $161.5 million and an additional voluntary repayment of $303.5 million of principal. In connection with the sale, Paul Whittleston, Vice President and President, Advanced Materials & Catalysts, left the company. Ecovyst also provided unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements as an exhibit to show how its results would look after the divestiture.
