    Jamie Wilen's questions to Koppers Holdings (KOP) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Jamie Wilen of Wilen Management praised the significant SG&A cost reductions and questioned why Koppers isn't accelerating its share repurchase program more aggressively given the stock's current valuation.

    Answer

    CEO Leroy Ball acknowledged the rationale, stating the company repurchased $15 million in Q1 under the new plan and intends to actively use the program. He noted that credit agreements place some limits on the annual pace of buybacks but affirmed the company's commitment to repurchasing shares while they are viewed as undervalued.

    Jamie Wilen's questions to HEES leadership

    Jamie Wilen's questions to HEES leadership • Q4 2023

    Question

    Asked about the percentage of business from national accounts, the potential for a stock buyback, the company's target for optimal fleet age, and whether new branch openings contribute to the fleet's young age.

    Answer

    The company does not disclose its national account mix but confirmed the large customer base is growing. A stock buyback is not a current priority, as capital is focused on growth through acquisitions and new branches, while the dividend will continue. The current fleet age is well below an optimal level, providing flexibility. The young age is a result of high fleet growth and deploying new assets to new locations.
