Executive summary
Q2 2025 net sales were $2.5–$2.53 billion, up 6% sequentially but down 4% year-over-year, with operating profit of $233 million and net earnings of $199 million, aided by a significant tax benefit.
Engineered Materials delivered strong Q2 results, offsetting Acetyl Chain weakness; both segments faced lower sales due to weak global demand and competitive pricing.
Management prioritized cost reductions, with $120 million in 2025 savings targeted and further $50–$100 million opportunities identified.
Free cash flow exceeded $300 million in Q2 2025, with FY2025 guidance of $700–$800 million and a focus on deleveraging and strategic growth.
Dividend was reduced by 95% starting Q1 2025 to support deleveraging.

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.
