The lower volumes were due to lower customer demand driven by uncertainty from tariffs and a weaker global macroeconomic environment, particularly in auto-related applications.

SEC original ↗Cabot Corp — Earnings release (8-K exhibit)EX-99Aug 4, 2025

As expected, customer demand is being impacted by the uncertainty around tariffs and the global macro-economic environment, and this is translating into lower volumes in the second half of fiscal 2025 in both our Reinforcement Materials and Performance Chemicals segments.

SEC original ↗Cabot Corp — Earnings release (8-K exhibit)EX-99Aug 4, 2025

If the more recent announcements on tariffs were to translate into higher demand in the fourth fiscal quarter, we would expect to be higher in the guidance range.
