Shares of GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE:GTI), declined -0.60% to $4.93, during its last trading session.
GrafTech International Ltd., declared that its EBITDA* and operating cash flow for the first half of 2015 is now predictable to be at the low end of the previous guided targeted ranges of $30 million to $40 million each, and could fall slightly below the targeted ranges.
The Company stated that market conditions remain challenging in both the Industrial Materials segment and Engineered Solutions segment. While pricing in the Industrial Materials segment is generally consistent with expectations, volumes remain under pressure due to weak electric arc furnace steel production in its key North American and European markets driven by high steel import levels. In the Engineered Solution segment, sales are also lower than predictable as industrial and oil and gas sector demand continues to be weak. Additionally, lower volumes and pricing pressure have affected product sales into the advanced consumer electronics market. In light of these market conditions, the Company will reduce production rates further to align with current market demand.
