$SCLPress releaseApr 28, 2026, 7:00 AM ETRead the release

Stepan Company reported a first quarter GAAP net loss of $41.4 million, driven by a $65.4 million pre-tax restructuring charge related to facility closures. Adjusted EBITDA fell 14% year-over-year to $49.6 million, impacted by lower Surfactant earnings, higher raw material costs, and geopolitical challenges. Net sales increased 2% to $604.5 million, with organic sales volume remaining flat despite strength in Crop Productivity and Oilfield markets offsetting softness in European Polymers.
