2Q25 Sales of $410 million, down 10% versus prior year

2Q25 Earnings Per Share of $1.15; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $1.24

2Q25 Cash Flow from Operations of $21 million

$8 million of 45Q carbon capture tax credits claimed in 2Q25

AdvanSix (NYSE:ASIX), a diversified chemistry company, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025. Overall, the Company delivered resilient earnings with strong sequential improvement and executed key growth and enterprise initiatives to support long-term sustainable performance.

Second Quarter 2025 Summary

"Our resilient second quarter results reflect our collective organization's execution and the advantages of our business model and diverse product portfolio amid an evolving macro environment," said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. "While we faced an earlier end to the spring domestic application season, earnings and cash flow improved sequentially from the first quarter driven by strong performance from our Plant Nutrients business. End market demand across the rest of our portfolio remains softer overall and we continue to navigate margin impact driven by higher raw material prices, namely natural gas and sulfur. We have a demonstrated track record of successfully performing through a multitude of environments and remain confident in our ability to deliver long-term value. We continue to progress on 45Q carbon capture tax credits with an additional $8 million claimed in 2Q25, and our healthy balance sheet continues to support in-flight growth and enterprise initiatives to sustainably improve through cycle performance."

Summary second quarter 2025 financial results for the Company are included below:

Sales of $410 million in the quarter decreased approximately 10% versus the prior year. Sales volume decreased approximately 8% primarily driven by softer demand in key nylon end markets including engineering plastics applications serving the auto sector. Raw material pass-through pricing was down 5% following a net cost decrease in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Market-based pricing was favorable by 3% driven by continued strength in Plant Nutrients reflecting favorable North American ammonium sulfate supply and demand conditions.

Sales by product line and approximate percentage of total sales are included below:

($ in Thousands)	2Q 2025			2Q 2024 ⁽¹⁾
	Sales		% of Total	Sales		% of Total
Nylon	$	79,503	20%	$	103,217	23%
Caprolactam		66,424	16%		81,303	18%
Plant Nutrients		156,770	38%		147,339	32%
Chemical Intermediates		107,325	26%		121,620	27%
Total	$	410,022	100%	$	453,479	100%
(1) The Company transferred certain products between its Chemical Intermediates product line and its Plant Nutrients product line to align more closely with its current sales structure. Historical information has been reclassified to reflect these changes for all periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Total revenue amounts were not impacted for either period.

Adjusted EBITDA of $55.7 million in the quarter decreased $22.5 million versus the prior year primarily driven by a decline in Chemical Intermediates pricing, net of raw material costs, and lower Nylon Solutions sales volume.

Adjusted earnings per share of $1.24 decreased $0.31 versus the prior year driven primarily by the factors discussed above partially offset by approximately $8 million, or $0.29 per share, of 45Q carbon capture tax credits.

Cash flow from operations of $21.1 million in the quarter decreased $29.1 million versus the prior year primarily due to lower net income and the unwinding of prior year ammonium sulfate pre-buy cash advances. Capital expenditures of $28.3 million in the quarter decreased $5.2 million versus the prior year.

Outlook

Anticipate higher ammonium sulfate pricing in 3Q25 year-over-year reflecting strong fall fill program; however, typical North American ammonium sulfate seasonality expected to drive 3Q25 sequential domestic pricing decline
Acetone spread over refinery grade propylene costs anticipated to be lower year-over-year, but expected to remain near cycle averages
Navigating an extended downturn in the nylon cycle - focused on controllable levers to optimize performance
Expect Capital Expenditures of $135 to $145 million in 2025, reflecting the planned progression of our SUSTAIN growth program, and refined execution timing to address critical enterprise risk mitigation
Continue to expect pre-tax income impact of plant turnarounds to be $25 to $30 million in 2025 versus approximately $58 million in 2024

"We are well-positioned as an American manufacturer of essential chemistries serving a diverse set of end market applications with alignment to domestic agriculture, manufacturing supply chains and energy markets. The current market backdrop is mixed overall with favorable underlying fundamentals in Plant Nutrients contrasted against an extended downturn in Nylon Solutions. While we anticipate typical North American ammonium sulfate seasonality, we are starting the third quarter with a strong fall fill program at higher pricing levels compared to the prior year. In Chemical Intermediates, acetone pricing over raw materials has moderated off 2024 multi-year highs but remains near cycle averages, as anticipated. In times of uncertainty, we're keenly focused on delivering on controllable levers. This includes taking a measured and disciplined approach to cost and cash management including tensioned prioritization of our base capital investments, and optimizing mix and production output for the most profitable parts of our business. We remain confident in the growth prospects for AdvanSix, and are committed to delivering long-term value to our shareholders," concluded Kane.
