Executive summary
Q3 comparable EBITDA was $276 million, up 101% YoY and down 18% QoQ; strong execution, elevated PET margins and freight supported results.
FY26 comparable EBITDA guidance increased to $990 million from $750–800 million; local production and supply-chain flexibility supported resilience amid trade disruption and Asian feedstock shortages.
Financial highlights
Reported EBITDA was $303 million, up 161% YoY, including a $27 million inventory adjustment; volume was 1.172 million tons, flat QoQ and up 4% YoY.
Revenue was $2.179 billion, up 31% YoY; gross profit was $304 million, operating income $229 million and consolidated net income $151 million.
YTD comparable EBITDA was $762 million, up 96% YoY; reported EBITDA was $872 million, up 150%.
Outlook and guidance
FY26 guidance: comparable EBITDA $990 million, volume 4.6 million tons, operating free cash flow $300–350 million and CapEx $150 million.
Remaining-period assumptions: China PET margins $225/ton, North American PP margins 17 cpp, South America ocean freight $200/ton and FX at $18.00.
PET margins and ocean freight are expected to moderate gradually with Q4 seasonality but remain above 2025 levels; guidance excludes potential non-strategic asset monetization.
2027 contracted margins are expected to exceed 2025 levels, with some potentially moderating from 2026; volume is expected to be similar to 2026.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
