• Middle East conflict significantly disrupted methanol supply chains, causing volatile and elevated global methanol prices.

• Indefinite idling of the Titan plant in Trinidad and Tobago due to inability to secure a viable gas contract, resulting in a $115 million non-cash after-tax asset impairment.

Financial highlights

• Revenue for Q2 2026 was $1,395 million, up from $974 million in Q1 2026.

• Adjusted EBITDA of $577 million in Q2, up from Q1, driven by higher realized prices and strong North American production.

• Cash flows from operating activities totaled $439 million; adjusted free cash flow was $298 million.

• Quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share paid, totaling $14 million.

Outlook and guidance

• Expect Q3 earnings to remain strong but lower than Q2 due to anticipated lower realized prices ($460-$485/ton for July-August).

• 2026 equity production guidance maintained at approximately 9 million tons, with potential quarterly variation.

• Actual production may vary due to gas availability, turnarounds, and unplanned outages.

• Priorities include safe operations, OCI integration, and achieving leverage targets (2-2.5x adjusted debt/EBITDA at mid-cycle pricing).

• Majority of free cash flow to be directed toward cash build and debt reduction, with potential for modest share repurchases as leverage targets are approached.
