Executive summary

  • Q3 2025 net loss was $110 million, with adjusted EBITDA at $30 million, impacted by unfavorable raw material timing, negative equity income from Americas Styrenics, and weak demand, partially offset by restructuring savings.

  • Net sales declined 14% year-over-year to $743 million, mainly due to lower volumes and margin compression, especially in Europe.

  • Announced discontinuation of virgin MMA production in Italy and planned closure of a German polystyrene facility, targeting $30 million annualized profitability improvement and $10 million in capital expenditure reduction.

  • Major restructuring and refinancing actions were implemented, including suspension of the dividend and extension of debt maturities to 2028, to preserve liquidity.

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.
