EAF — what changed in the latest 10-Q
A section-by-section comparison of EAF's newest periodic SEC filing (10-K/10-Q) against the prior same-form filing: paragraphs added and removed per section, with verbatim excerpts. Purely a deterministic text diff — no similarity scores, no directional read, not investment advice.

MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-07-24
Production volume was 33.4 thousand MT for the second quarter of 2026, resulting in a capacity utilization rate of 74%, up from 65% for the second quarter of 2025. While production volume has exceeded sales volume for the first six months of 2026, our expectation remains to balance our production an…
Global steel demand, outside of China, is projected to grow modestly in 2026, with anticipated growth in most of our key commercial regions. In the United States, modest demand growth, coupled with favorable trade policies, has driven a 6% increase in steel production year-to-date. In Europe, while …
Supported by these favorable steel production trends, demand for graphite electrodes is expected to improve modestly in 2026. For GrafTech, with more than 90% of our anticipated volume already committed in our order book, we continue to expect a 5–10% year-over-year increase in graphite electrode sa…
While demand trends are improving, current industry-wide pricing levels do not reflect the indispensable nature of graphite electrodes for electric arc furnace steelmaking. As a result, we are taking deliberate actions to restore more sustainable pricing and improve our profitability. These include …
On costs, geopolitical developments continue to impact key input costs, including oil-based raw materials, energy and logistics. However, reflecting our ongoing cost improvement initiatives, we expect to offset these headwinds. Accordingly, we continue to expect a low single-digit percentage-point d…

Production volume was 29.4 thousand MT for the first quarter of 2026, resulting in a capacity utilization rate of 65% for the quarter.
Demand for graphite electrodes is expected to improve modestly in 2026, supported by stable-to-improving steel production trends outside of China. While steel market conditions remain mixed, in the United States, demand has been relatively stable and is expected to increase modestly, with steel prod…
While volume trends are stable, current industry-wide pricing levels do not reflect the indispensable nature of graphite electrodes for electric arc furnace steelmaking. As a result, we are taking deliberate actions to restore more sustainable pricing and improve our profitability. These include imp…
On costs, geopolitical developments continue to impact key input costs, including oil-based raw materials, energy and logistics. In response, we are expanding initiatives to improve our cost structure, including enhancing production efficiency and optimizing production schedules. Factoring all of th…
We are also maintaining disciplined capital and working capital management. For 2026, we expect a modest increase in working capital for the full year to support higher volume. We continue to anticipate our full-year capital expenditures will be approximately $35 million, consistent with maintaining…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
