Adjusted net leverage 1.6x Net debt of $618.7 million versus TTM adjusted EBITDA of $379.7 million
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA $ 99.2 ... % of sales 18.1 %"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Chapter 11 regulatory
"fund the Chapter 11 cases of its subsidiary BMI OldCo Inc. and affiliated debtors"
Chapter 11 is a U.S. bankruptcy process that lets a financially distressed company keep operating while it reorganizes its debts and business plan under court supervision. Think of it as a formal pause that allows the company to renegotiate payments, shed contracts or assets, and seek a path to profitability instead of being liquidated; investors watch it because it can change the value and priority of claims, equity dilution, or the likelihood of recovery.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow $ 35.8 ... $ 33.8 ... $ 44.8 ... $ 11.1"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Scope 1 emissions technical
"Key accomplishments included a 34 percent reduction in Scope 1 emissions"
Direct greenhouse gas emissions that come from sources a company owns or controls, such as fuel burned in boilers, on-site manufacturing processes, or emissions from company vehicles. Investors care because these emissions create regulatory, cost and reputation risks and signal how efficiently a business runs—think of them as the pollution coming from a household’s own car and furnace, versus emissions from the electricity it buys.
PFAS remediation technical
"address environmental challenges such as PFAS remediation"
PFAS remediation is the process of identifying, containing, treating, or removing persistent synthetic chemicals called PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from soil, groundwater, drinking water, and industrial sites. It matters to investors because remediation can create regulatory obligations, cleanup costs, legal liabilities, and changes in property or operational value—like paying to remove a permanent stain that affects the use and resale value of an asset.
Net sales $548.4 million up 4% vs prior-year quarter
Diluted EPS excluding special items $1.60 up 3% vs prior-year quarter
Reported diluted EPS ($5.90) includes $290.0 million litigation and credit-loss provision
Adjusted EBITDA $99.2 million 18.1% of sales in Q2 2026
Guidance

Management indicated sales are on track for mid-single digit full-year growth and referenced pricing actions intended to restore margins in the second half of 2026.

NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) (“MTI”), a leading, technology-driven specialty minerals company, today reported a loss per share for the second quarter ended July 5, 2026, of $5.90, or earnings per share of $1.60 excluding special items, representing a 3 percent increase over the prior year.
 
“Our sales momentum continued in the second quarter, resulting in 7 percent growth in the first half of the year. This trend is being driven by our growth initiatives and strong market conditions, and we are on track to hit our full year revenue targets,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We absorbed significant inflationary cost increases that temporarily impacted margins, primarily in the Consumer & Specialties segment, but have pricing actions into place to restore them through the back half of the year.”
 
Consolidated Results
 
In the second quarter, MTI’s worldwide net sales were $548 million, up 4 percent over the prior year. Foreign exchange had a favorable impact of $7 million on sales. For the first half of 2026, consolidated sales were $1.1 billion, up 7 percent over prior year.
 
Reported operating loss in the second quarter was $220 million, or operating income of $75 million excluding special items. The special items include a $290 million charge to increase the company’s reserve for estimated costs to fund a trust to resolve all current and future talc-related claims as well as fund the Chapter 11 cases of its subsidiary BMI OldCo Inc. and affiliated debtors and related litigation costs.
 
Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results
 
Consumer & Specialties segment sales were $275 million, down 1 percent from the prior year. Sales in the Household & Personal Care product line were $123 million, down 3 percent from the prior year due to lower sales in high-margin consumer specialty products. Sales in the Specialty Additives product line were $151 million, up 1 percent over the prior year, primarily driven by higher sales to paper and packaging customers.
 
Segment reported operating income was $29 million, down 21 percent excluding special items, due to unfavorable volume mix as well as higher energy, transportation, and raw material costs that were not fully recovered within the quarter due to the timing of contractual pricing adjustments.
 
MTI’s Consumer & Specialties segment provides functional components that become part of a variety of consumer and industrial products and touch millions of lives every day. It includes two product lines: Household & Personal Care, which delivers mineral-to-market products for improved performance and enhanced consumer experiences in end markets including cat litter, household and personal care, edible oil and renewable fuel purification, animal health, and agriculture; and Specialty Additives, which offers mineral-based technologies for improved functionality in end markets including paper and packaging, food and pharmaceuticals, sealants and adhesives, paints and coatings, and residential construction.
 
Engineered Solutions segment sales were $274 million, up 9 percent over the prior year. Sales in the High-Temperature Technologies product line were $190 million, up 7 percent over the prior year, driven by continued higher sales to steel customers in the U.S. and foundry businesses in Asia. In the Environmental & Infrastructure product line, sales were $84 million, up 15 percent over the prior year, driven by stronger sales related to building materials, large-scale project activity, and infrastructure drilling.
 
Segment reported operating income was $49 million, up 12 percent excluding special items, representing a record operating margin of 17.8 percent of sales.
 
MTI’s Engineered Solutions segment provides advanced technologies and solutions designed to improve customers’ manufacturing processes and projects. It includes two product lines: High-Temperature Technologies, which delivers mineral-based blends, technologies, and systems that solve complex challenges in the foundry, steel, and other high-temperature processing industries; and Environmental & Infrastructure, which offers solutions for water treatment, fluid management, building materials, and environmental, remediation, and infrastructure-related projects.   
 
Publication of the 18th Annual Sustainability Report
 
MTI published the 18th edition of its annual Sustainability Report, highlighting the company's environmental, safety, and community achievements and establishing a new set of 10-year environmental targets through 2035. It also shared that by 2025, the company had successfully achieved all 12 environmental targets it established in 2018. Key accomplishments included a 34 percent reduction in Scope 1 emissions, a 42 percent reduction in Scope 2 emissions, a 31 percent reduction in water withdrawals, a 56 percent reduction in water discharge, and a 44 percent reduction in landfill waste.  
 
MTI continues to support its customers' sustainability objectives through innovative solutions that help reduce emissions and waste, improve resource efficiency, and address environmental challenges such as PFAS remediation. In 2025, 67 percent of the company’s products commercialized during the previous five years had a sustainable profile.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (LOSS)
 
1)For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended July 5, 2026, April 5, 2026, and June 29, 2025 consisted of 91 days, 95 days, and 91 days, respectively. The six month periods ended July 5, 2026 and June 29, 2025 consisted of 186 days and 180 days, respectively.
 
2)To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended July 5, 2026, April 5, 2026, and June 29, 2025, and the six month periods ended July 5, 2026 and June 29, 2025 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company's management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors' understanding of historic operating trends.

(“Oldco”) and Barretts Ventures Texas LLC, and related litigation costs. Included in this provision is $30 million of additional debtor-in-possession financing by Minerals Technologies Investments LLC to the Debtors, which was committed in Q2 2025. In addition, the Company initiated a cost savings program and recorded a $5.5 million charge relating to severance and other costs in the first quarter of 2025. The Company incurred litigation and settlement expenses of $4.9 million, $8.8 million, and $4.2 million for the quarterly periods ending July 5, 2026, April 5, 2026, and June 29, 2025, respectively, in connection with the bankruptcy of Oldco and lawsuits related to talc products sold by Oldco.
 
In the second quarter of 2026, the Company filed a Plan of Reorganization in the Chapter 11 cases of its subsidiary BMI Oldco Inc. which would present a viable, efficient, and advantageous resolution of these Chapter 11 cases.

3)Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended July 5, 2026, April 5, 2026, and June 29, 2025, and the six month periods ended July 5, 2026 and June 29, 2025 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company's management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends, and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
