Celanese news also includes earnings releases, dividend declarations, manufacturing-footprint actions, nylon and POM production updates, carbon capture and utilization applications in binders for airlaid nonwovens, and board governance changes.
Celanese (NYSE: CE) has declared force majeure and sales control for acetic acid and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) in the Western Hemisphere. This decision follows disruptions in raw material supplies important to production, particularly affecting its U.S. gulf coast network.
Production is anticipated to drop by 15-20% in Q2 due to these challenges. The company is leveraging its integrated supply chain to minimize customer impact but expects higher costs and potential volume losses.
Details on the resolution and financial impact will be provided in the Q2 earnings report.
Celanese has been awarded the American Chemistry Council's 2024 Sustainability Leadership Award in the “Circularity” category for its carbon capture and utilization project in Texas. The project is expected to capture 180,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually and produce 130,000 metric tons of low-carbon methanol. This initiative highlights Celanese's commitment to sustainability and innovation, enabling the production of ECO-CC products across various industries.
Celanese (NYSE: CE) reported first quarter diluted earnings per share of $1.10 and adjusted earnings per share of $2.08 with net sales of $2.6 billion, reflecting a 2% increase. Despite challenges in the demand environment, Celanese managed to largely offset higher expenses and reported operating profit of $210 million. The company demonstrated the ability to execute in a stabilizing market and is focused on enhancing earnings power for the future.
