Davis Baynton's questions to Enviri Corp (NVRI) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Davis Baynton of BMO Capital Markets asked for an update on the steel industry's excess capacity pressures and underlying market trends post-Q1. He also inquired if Clean Earth's efficiency gains were primarily from IT improvements or other initiatives.
Answer
Chairman and CEO F. Grasberger noted that while steel demand remains lackluster, a stronger second half is expected for Harsco Environmental due to new site ramp-ups and favorable comps, as detailed by SVP and CFO Tom Vadaketh. Grasberger also clarified that Clean Earth's efficiency gains are broad-based, stemming from operational improvements in routing and disposal, with major IT-driven efficiencies expected further out in 2026.
