3Q25 Sales of $374 million, down 6% versus prior year

3Q25 Earnings Per Share of ($0.10); Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.08

3Q25 Cash Flow from Operations of $27 million

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX), a diversified chemistry company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025. Overall, the Company continued to navigate challenging industry dynamics with a focus on optimizing operational and commercial performance.

Third Quarter 2025 Summary

"In the third quarter, our team executed with agility and discipline as we seasonally entered a new fertilizer year in Plant Nutrients with a strong fall fill program, amid higher raw material input costs, while continuing to realize the ongoing benefits from our SUSTAIN growth program,” said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. “In the face of continued weak market conditions in Nylon Solutions and lower net pricing in Chemical Intermediates year over year as anticipated, we are making the strategic choice to moderate production rates to manage inventory levels with a keen focus on free cash flow. We have a demonstrated track record of navigating through cycles and complex dynamics, and our durable competitive advantage will serve us well through this time."

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

($ in Thousands, Except Earnings Per Share)	3Q 2025		3Q 2024		Variance

(2)	Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures

Sales of $374 million in the quarter decreased approximately 6% versus the prior year. Sales volume decreased approximately 3% primarily driven by softer demand in chemical intermediates and nylon end markets. Raw material pass-through pricing was down approximately 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 approximately 2% 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)	3Q 2025						3Q 2024 (1)
	Sales			% of Total			Sales			% of Total
Nylon	$	79,029		21	%		$	93,693		24	%
Caprolactam		73,137		20	%			76,338		19	%
Plant Nutrients		138,661		37	%			113,552		29	%
Chemical Intermediates		83,646		22	%			114,604		28	%
Total	$	374,473		100	%		$	398,187		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 $24.7 million in the quarter decreased $28.4 million versus the prior year primarily driven by a decline in Chemical Intermediates pricing, net of raw material costs, and the impact of lower Nylon and Chemical Intermediates sales and production volume.

Adjusted earnings per share of $0.08 decreased $0.80 versus the prior year driven primarily by the factors discussed above.

Cash flow from operations of $26.6 million in the quarter decreased $30.7 million versus the prior year primarily due to lower net income. Capital expenditures of $26.5 million in the quarter decreased $4.0 million versus the prior year.

Outlook

• Anticipate continued strength in Plant Nutrients amid higher raw material input costs supported by planned progression of SUSTAIN growth program
• Acetone spread over refinery grade propylene costs are below 2024 multi-year highs, but expected to hold near cycle averages
• Navigating an extended downturn in the nylon cycle - focused on controllable levers to optimize performance
• Expect Capital Expenditures to now be approximately $120 to $125 million in 2025, reflecting $30 million of full year cash conservation through refined prioritization and focus on strong cash flow generation
• Completed 4Q25 planned plant turnaround as expected (approximately $14 million pre-tax income impact)
• Expect cash flow tailwind in 2026 from 45Q carbon capture tax credits and 100% bonus depreciation

"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 has been mixed. We've seen continued strength in Plant Nutrients and acetone margins remain near cycle averages, while nylon has been more challenging. In times of uncertainty, we're focused on delivering on controllable levers. This includes continued optimization of production output and sales volume mix while driving productivity to support through-cycle profitability. Taking a disciplined approach to cash management is critical reflected in our prioritization of base capital investments and we anticipate tailwinds in 2026 from 45Q carbon capture tax credits. We are committed to delivering long-term value to our shareholders,” concluded Kane.

Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on December 2, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2025.

(4) Primarily reflects the impact of fixed cost absorption, maintenance expense, and the purchase of feedstocks which are normally manufactured by the Company.

(5) During the multi-site planned plant turnaround, additional required maintenance at our Frankford phenol plant contributed to reduced production across our integrated value chain and a delayed ramp to full operating rates at our Hopewell and Chesterfield sites, resulting in an incremental $15 million unfavorable impact to pre-tax income, which is reflected in this amount and is inclusive of fixed cost absorption, higher maintenance expense and lost sales.

(6) During the multi-site planned plant turnaround, additional required maintenance at our Hopewell plant contributed to reduced production across our integrated value chain and a delayed ramp to full operating rates, resulting in an incremental approximately $17 million unfavorable impact to pre-tax income, which is reflected in this amount and is inclusive of fixed cost absorption, higher maintenance expense, and lost sales.
