AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX) Q1 2026 revenue grows but margins compress

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AdvanSix Inc. reported a weaker first quarter of 2026, moving from profit to loss despite higher sales. Revenue rose to $404.2 million from $377.8 million, driven mainly by about 6% higher volumes and modest pricing gains, especially in Plant Nutrients and Chemical Intermediates.

The company posted a net loss of $15.5 million, or $(0.58) per diluted share, compared with net income of $23.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, a year earlier. Gross margin compressed sharply to 0.9% from 14.2%, as higher sulfur and utility costs, winter storm expenses, and the absence of $26 million of prior-year insurance proceeds outweighed pricing benefits.

Adjusted EBITDA fell to $4.8 million, a 1.2% margin, from $51.6 million and a 13.7% margin. Operating cash flow was a use of $15.3 million versus $11.4 million provided in the prior year, reflecting lower earnings partly offset by working capital improvements. At quarter-end, cash was $17.6 million and revolver borrowings were $270 million, leaving about $229 million of additional capacity. The company paid a $0.16 per-share dividend in March and the board declared another $0.16 dividend payable June 2, 2026.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Profitability deteriorated sharply, with Q1 2026 net income swinging to a $15.5 million loss versus $23.3 million profit a year earlier and gross margin falling to 0.9% from 14.2%, reflecting higher sulfur and plant costs, winter storm expenses, and the absence of prior-year insurance proceeds.
• Cash generation weakened, as operating activities used $15.3 million of cash in Q1 2026 compared with $11.4 million provided in the prior-year quarter, while revolver borrowings increased to $270 million to support spending and working capital.

Insights

Industrial chemicals equity analyst

Q1 2026 shows severe margin compression and a swing to loss.

AdvanSix grew Q1 2026 sales 7% to $404.2 million, but cost pressures flipped results to a net loss of $15.5 million. Gross margin shrank to 0.9% from 14.2%, mainly from higher sulfur and utility costs and winter storm impacts.

Prior-year insurance proceeds of about $26 million did not recur, magnifying the year-on-year decline. Adjusted EBITDA dropped to $4.8 million with a 1.2% margin, versus $51.6 million and 13.7% a year earlier, indicating significantly reduced earning power in the period.

Cash from operations was a use of $15.3 million, influenced by the loss but partly offset by better working capital. Net revolver borrowings rose to $270 million, leaving roughly $229 million of capacity as of March 31, 2026. Management maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share. Actual performance in subsequent quarters will depend on raw material costs, plant reliability and demand trends discussed for the 2026 fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"The following tables set forth the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

foreign-derived deduction eligible income (FDDEI) deduction financial

"offset by research tax credits and the foreign-derived deduction eligible income (FDDEI) deduction (formerly known as the foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) deduction) that generally decrease the rate."

Revolving Credit Facility financial

"which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”)."

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act financial

"On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was enacted into law which includes numerous tax provisions affecting businesses"

A "one big beautiful bill act" is a single, large piece of legislation that bundles many policy changes and measures into one package instead of passing them separately. For investors, it matters because such omnibus bills can swiftly change tax rules, spending levels, industry regulations or subsidies all at once—like a single shopping cart that suddenly adds many items to a household budget—creating broad, rapid shifts in company costs, revenues and market expectations.

Rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

"entered into a trading plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act."

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

anti-dumping orders regulatory

"the first five-year review of the anti-dumping orders on imports of acetone from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain."

1. Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

AdvanSix Inc. ("AdvanSix," the "Company," "we" or "our") is a vertically integrated chemistry company that produces essential materials for diverse end markets. Our value chain of our five U.S.-based manufacturing facilities plays a critical role in global supply chains and enables us to innovate and deliver essential products for our customers across building and construction, fertilizers, agrochemicals, plastics, solvents, packaging, paints, coatings, adhesives, electronics and other end markets. Guided by our core values of Safety, Integrity, Accountability and Respect, AdvanSix strives to deliver best-in-class customer experiences and differentiated products in the industries of nylon solutions, plant nutrients and chemical intermediates.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2026, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

It is our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. Historically, the effects of this practice have generally not been significant to reported results for any quarter and only existed within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide the appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, which resulted in six additional reporting days in the current year period from our normal quarterly closing procedures.

Liabilities to creditors to whom we have issued checks that remained outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 aggregated to $9.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively. These were included in Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 6,386,289 shares of common stock, including 1,140,833 shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of awards, for an aggregate of $195.4 million at a weighted average market price of $30.59 per share. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $62.0 million remained available for share repurchases under the current authorization approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") on February 17, 2023. During the period April 1, 2026 through May 1, 2026, no additional shares were repurchased for tax withholding obligations or under the currently authorized repurchase program.

Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The size and timing of these repurchases will depend on pricing, market and economic conditions, legal and contractual requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The par value of the shares repurchased is applied to Treasury stock and the excess of the purchase price over par value is applied to Additional paid-in capital.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts and as otherwise noted)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not discussed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On December 8, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11: Interim Reporting (Topic 270), Narrow Scope Improvements. The amendments in this ASU provide a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The amendments also clarify the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP to enhance consistency in interim reporting for all entities. The update is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the pronouncement and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On December 4, 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10: Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The amendments in this ASU establish the accounting for a government grant received. The amendments require that a grant received should not be recognized until (1) it is probable that (a) an entity will comply with conditions attached to the grant and (b) the grant will be received and (2) an entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or to income. The amendments require that a grant related to an asset be recognized on the balance sheet as the entity incurs the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, either as (1) deferred income (the deferred income approach) or (2) an adjustment to the cost basis in determining the carrying amount of the asset (the cost accumulation approach). A grant related to income and a grant related to an asset for which the deferred income approach is elected should be recognized in earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which an entity recognizes as expenses the costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. The amendments require that an entity present a grant related to income and a grant related to an asset for which the deferred income is elected as part of earnings either (1) separately under a general heading such as other income or (2) deducted from the related expense. In addition, the amendments require that an entity provide disclosures, including the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and significant terms and conditions of the grant. For public business entities, this update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU require that a business entity apply the guidance using a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach or a retrospective approach to all government grants through a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is evaluating the pronouncement and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Practical Expedient for Measuring Expected Credit Losses on Certain Financial Assets. The amendments in this ASU provide a simplified approach for estimating credit losses on certain financial assets, including current accounts receivable, by permitting entities to elect a practical expedient when measuring expected credit losses. Under current guidance, when estimating expected credit losses, an entity must (1) consider not only historical loss experience but also adjust that information to reflect current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts and (2) include a measure of expected credit loss even if that risk is remote. The amendments in this ASU allow an entity, as a practical expedient, to: (1) Assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of the financial asset; and (2) continue to adjust historical loss information to reflect current conditions to the extent that historical information does not already do so. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity will: (1) disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil-and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)-(e); (2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as other disaggregation requirements; (3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (4) disclose the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting

periods, an entity's definition of selling expense. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the pronouncement and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Revenues

Revenue Recognition

AdvanSix serves approximately 375 customers annually, primarily in the United States, spanning a wide variety of industries worldwide. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 38% of total sales.

We typically sell to customers under master service agreements, with primarily one-year terms, or by purchase orders. We have historically experienced low customer turnover and have long-standing customer relationships, which span decades. Our largest customer is Shaw Industries Group, Inc. (“Shaw”), a significant consumer of caprolactam and Nylon 6 resin, to whom we sell under a long-term agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's sales to Shaw were 9% and 10% of our total sales, respectively.

The Company's revenue by product line, and related approximate percentage of total sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026												2025
Nylon			$	88,467					22%						$	88,369					23%

The Company expects to recognize as revenue the March 31, 2026 ending balance of Deferred income and customer advances which are predominantly driven by our ammonium sulfate pre-buy program, within one year or less.

4. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is based on Net income (loss) divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, where appropriate, diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding, respectively. The details of the basic and diluted EPS calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

 

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Basic
Net income (loss)			$	(15,546)					$	23,344
Weighted average common shares outstanding			26,980,742						26,838,146
EPS – Basic			$	(0.58)					$	0.87
Diluted
Dilutive effect of equity awards and other stock-based holdings			—						450,998
Weighted average common shares outstanding			26,980,742						27,289,144
EPS – Diluted			$	(0.58)					$	0.86

Where appropriate, diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the period.

Where appropriate, the diluted EPS calculations exclude the effect of stock options when the options’ assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. The anti-dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding at the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Options and stock equivalents			853,891						684,374

Dividend activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Cash dividends declared per share			$	0.16					$	0.16
Aggregate dividends paid to shareholders			$	4,313					$	4,290

5. Accounts and Other Receivables – Net

			March 31, 2026						December 31, 2025
Accounts receivables			$	207,060					$	153,059
Other			887						1,438
Total accounts and other receivables			207,947						154,497
Less – allowance for credit losses			(340)						(395)
Total accounts and other receivables – net			$	207,607					$	154,102

6. Inventories

ADVANSIX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts and as otherwise noted)

			March 31, 2026						December 31, 2025
Raw materials			$	91,824					$	116,248
Semi-finished and finished goods			131,773						167,498
Spares and other			33,185						32,877
			256,782						316,623
Reduction to LIFO cost basis			(55,424)						(80,128)
Total inventories			$	201,358					$	236,495

Substantially all of the Company’s inventories at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. However, approximately 5% was valued at average cost using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method at March 31, 2026.

The excess of replacement cost over the carrying value of total inventories subject to LIFO was $68.2 million and $61.3 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

7. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU"), Operating lease liabilities – short-term, and Operating lease liabilities – long-term in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment – net, Accounts payable, and Other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of right-of-use asset			$	285					$	254
Interest on lease liabilities			38						41
Total finance lease cost			323						295
Operating lease cost			13,296						13,078
Short-term lease cost			1,837						796
Total lease cost			$	15,456					$	14,169

As of March 31, 2026, we have no additional operating or finance leases that have not yet commenced.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives acquired through a business combination are recorded at fair value, less accumulated amortization. Customer relationships and trade-names are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives of 15 to 20 years and 5 years, respectively.

Goodwill

There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

To determine if goodwill is potentially impaired, we may perform either a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value or a quantitative assessment. The Company most recently performed a qualitative assessment in the fourth quarter of 2025 whereby we considered the enterprise value from the previous quantitative test (including the underlying excess fair value over carrying value), macroeconomic conditions (including changes in interest and discount rates), industry and market considerations, recent and projected financial performance, as well as other factors. The Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that an impairment of the goodwill balances existed.

12

ADVANSIX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts and as otherwise noted)

Our qualitative analysis reflects our best estimates of the impacts of the cyclical nature of the industries in which we operate, as well as the cycles of fluctuating supply and demand for each of our products resulting in changes in selling prices and margins. It is possible that in the future there may be changes in industry trends, estimates and assumptions, including the timing and amount of future cash flows, margins, growth rates, market participant assumptions, comparable benchmark companies and related multiples and discount rates, which could impact estimates of fair value. Significant and adverse changes to any one or more of the above-noted estimates and assumptions could result in an impairment.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Intangible assets subject to amortization were as follows:

			March 31, 2026																		December 31, 2025
			Gross Carrying Amount						Accumulated Amortization						Net Book Value						Gross Carrying Amount						Accumulated Amortization						Net Book Value
Customer relationships			$	36,820					$	(8,049)					$	28,771					$	36,820					$	(7,572)					$	29,248
Licenses			18,451						(8,072)						10,379						18,451						(7,842)						10,609
Trade names			1,100						(917)						183						1,100						(862)						238
Total			$	56,371					$	(17,038)					$	39,333					$	56,371					$	(16,276)					$	40,095

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded amortization expense on intangible assets of $0.8 million.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and disputes, some of which may involve substantial amounts claimed, arising out of the conduct of the Company or other third-parties in the normal and ordinary course of business. A liability is recognized for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. The Company continually assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses, based on an analysis of each matter with the assistance of legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

Given the uncertainty inherent in such lawsuits, investigations and disputes, the Company does not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters. Considering the Company’s past experience and existing accruals, the Company does not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause the Company to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, balance sheet and/or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

We assumed from Honeywell International Inc. ("Honeywell") all health, safety and environmental (“HSE”) liabilities and compliance obligations related to the past and future operations of our current business, as well as all HSE liabilities associated with the three manufacturing locations assumed from Honeywell that are used in our current operations, including any cleanup or other liabilities related to any contamination that may have occurred at such locations in the past. Honeywell retained all HSE liabilities related to former business locations or the operation of our former businesses. Although we have ongoing environmental remedial obligations at certain of our facilities, in the past three years, the associated remediation costs have not been material, and we do not expect our known remediation costs to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

10. Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) for income taxes was ($5.1 million) and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.8% and 19.3%, respectively.

13

ADVANSIX INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts and as otherwise noted)

The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against Income (loss) before taxes for the period in addition to recording any tax effects of discrete items for the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to state taxes and executive compensation deduction limitations which generally increase the rate, offset by research tax credits and the foreign-derived deduction eligible income (FDDEI) deduction (formerly known as the foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) deduction) that generally decrease the rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, discrete tax adjustments recorded in the quarter related to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 45Q tax credits of $1.8 million, offset slightly by state tax legislation changes, resulted in a net 5.8% decrease on the rate.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was enacted into law which includes numerous tax provisions affecting businesses, including the reinstatement of full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modification of the limitation on business interest and making permanent full expensing for certain business property. Several of the major business provisions in the Act became effective in 2025 while other business tax changes are effective for the 2026 tax year. The major business provisions in the Act reduced our cash taxes in 2025 and are expected to reduce our cash taxes in 2026 and future periods.

11. Supplier Finance Programs

The Company has entered into a supply chain finance program with a financial intermediary providing participating suppliers the option to be paid by the intermediary earlier than the original invoice due date. AdvanSix’s responsibility is limited to making payments to the intermediary based upon payment terms negotiated with the suppliers, regardless of whether the intermediary pays the supplier in advance of the original due date. The Company’s payment terms with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a vendor participates in the supply chain finance program or not. All related agreements are terminable by either party upon at least 30 days’ notice.

The total amount due to the financial intermediary to settle supplier invoices under the Company's supply chain finance program was approximately $11.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and approximately $9.0 million as of December 31, 2025. These amounts outstanding are included in Accounts payable.

12. Segment Related Information

The Company has concluded that it is a single operating segment and a single reportable segment: chemical manufacturing. Its larger manufacturing sites are vertically integrated and leverage cross-plant resources, including centralized supply chain and procurement functions. This production process uses one key raw material, cumene, as the input to products produced for sale through the sales channels and end markets the Company serves. Production rates and output volumes are managed across locations to align with the Company’s overall operating plan. Additionally, the Company’s operating results, which are evaluated regularly to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our CEO and President, are on a consolidated basis.

The chemical manufacturing segment derives its revenues by innovating and delivering essential products in the industries of nylon solutions, plant nutrients, and chemical intermediates to its customers in a wide variety of end markets and applications, such as building and construction, fertilizers, agrochemicals, plastics, solvents, packaging, paints, coatings, adhesives and electronics.

The CODM’s performance assessment and resource allocation for the chemical manufacturing segment is based on net income which is also reported on the income statement as net income, the measure of segment assets which is also reported on the balance sheet as total assets, and capital expenditures which is also reported in management’s discussion and analysis.

The CODM uses net income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. The CODM also uses net income to monitor budget versus actual results. Monitoring budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation. Lastly, the CODM uses capital expenditures to estimate the cash-generating potential and cash requirements of the segment.

Significant expense information reviewed by the CODM was as follows (in thousands):

Business Overview

AdvanSix is a vertically integrated chemistry company that produces essential materials for diverse end markets. Our value chain of our five U.S.-based manufacturing facilities plays a critical role in global supply chains and enables us to innovate and

16

deliver essential products for our customers across building and construction, fertilizers, agrochemicals, plastics, solvents, packaging, paints, coatings, adhesives, electronics and other end markets. Guided by our core values of Safety, Integrity, Accountability and Respect, AdvanSix strives to deliver best-in-class customer experiences and differentiated products in the industries of nylon solutions, plant nutrients and chemical intermediates. Our key product lines are as follows: 

•Nylon Solutions

◦Nylon – We sell our Nylon 6 resin globally, primarily under the Aegis® brand name. Nylon 6 is a polymer resin which is a synthetic material used by our customers to produce fibers, filaments, engineered plastics and films that, in turn, are used in such end-products as carpets, automotive and electric components, sports apparel, food packaging and other industrial applications.

◦Caprolactam – Caprolactam is the key monomer used in the production of Nylon 6 resin. We internally polymerize caprolactam into Aegis® Nylon 6 Resin, and we also market and sell the caprolactam that is not consumed internally to customers who use it to manufacture polymer resins to produce fibers, compounds and other nylon products. Our Hopewell, VA manufacturing facility is one of the world’s largest single-site producers of caprolactam as of March 31, 2026.

•Plant Nutrients – Our ammonium sulfate is used by customers as a fertilizer containing nitrogen and sulfur, two key plant nutrients. Ammonium sulfate fertilizer is derived from the integrated operations at the Hopewell manufacturing facility. Because of our Hopewell facility’s size, scale and technology design, we are the world’s largest single-site producer of ammonium sulfate fertilizer as of March 31, 2026. We market and sell ammonium sulfate primarily to North American and South American distributors, farm cooperatives and retailers to fertilize crops. We also manufacture sulfuric acid, ammonia and carbon dioxide as part of our integrated operations at Hopewell and occasionally sell any excess material not consumed internally to customers externally.

•Chemical Intermediates – We manufacture, market and sell a number of chemical intermediate products that are derived from the manufacturing processes within our integrated supply chain. Most significant is acetone which is used by our customers in the production of solvents, paints, coatings, adhesives, resins and herbicides. Other intermediate chemicals that we manufacture, market and sell include phenol, alpha-methylstyrene, cyclohexanone, oximes, cyclohexanol, and alkyl-amines and specialty amines. Additional end-products for intermediates include automotive components, and water treatment and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Global demand for Nylon 6 resin spans a variety of end-uses such as textiles, engineered plastics, industrial filament, food and industrial films, and carpet. The market growth typically tracks global GDP growth over the long-term but varies by end-use. We produce and sell caprolactam as a commodity product and produce and sell our Nylon 6 resin as both a commoditized and differentiated resin product. Our results of operations are primarily driven by production volume and the spread between the sales prices of our products and the costs of the underlying raw materials built into market-based and value-based pricing models. The global prices for nylon resin typically track a spread over the price of caprolactam, which in turn tracks as a spread over benzene because the key feedstock materials for caprolactam, phenol or cyclohexane, are derived from benzene. This price spread has historically experienced cyclicality as a result of global changes in supply and demand. Generally, Nylon 6 resin prices track the cyclicality of caprolactam prices, although prices set above the spread are achievable when nylon resin manufacturers, like AdvanSix, formulate and produce differentiated nylon resin products for current and new customer applications, such as our wire and cable and co-polymer offerings.

Global prices for ammonium sulfate fertilizer are influenced by several factors including the price of urea, which is the most widely used source of nitrogen-based fertilizer in the world. Other global factors driving ammonium sulfate fertilizer demand are general agriculture trends, including planted acres and the price of crops. Our ammonium sulfate product is positioned with the added value proposition of sulfur nutrition to increase yields of key crops. In addition, due to its nutrient density, the typical ammonium sulfate product delivers pound for pound the most readily available sulfur and nitrogen to crops as compared to other fertilizers. We also directly supply packaged ammonium sulfate to customers, primarily in North and South America, and have diversified and optimized our offerings to include spray-grade adjuvants to support crop protection, as well as other specialty fertilizers and products for industrial use.

Our ammonium sulfate fertilizer experiences quarterly sales seasonality reflecting both geographical and product sales mix considerations based on the timing and length of the growing seasons in North and South America. The North American fertilizer season typically runs from July, when the value chain begins restocking fertilizer, through June of the following year, when most application for the year’s planting is completed. The new season fill begins in the third quarter and proceeds sequentially into the following spring, which is the peak period for crop fertilizer application. As a result of this pattern, North American ammonium sulfate demand and pricing, particularly for our higher-value granular product, are typically strongest in

17

the first half of the year through application for the spring crop and then decline in the second half of the year. Ammonium sulfate industry prices in the corn belt have declined approximately 12% from the second quarter to the third quarter, on average, since 2016. Due to the ammonium sulfate fertilizer sales cycle, we occasionally build up higher inventory balances because our production is continuous throughout the year and not tied to seasonal demand for fertilizers. Sales of most of our other products have generally been subject to minimal, or no, seasonality.

We also manufacture, market and sell a number of chemical intermediate products that are derived from the manufacturing processes within our integrated supply chain. Most significant is acetone, the price of which is influenced by its own supply and demand dynamics but can also be influenced by the underlying move in propylene input costs. Our differentiated product offerings include high-purity applications and high-value intermediates including our U.S. Amines portfolio as well as our oximes-based EZ-Blox™ anti-skinning agent used in paints and Nadone® cyclohexanone, which is a solvent used in various high-value applications.

We seek to run our production facilities on a nearly continuous basis for maximum efficiency as several of our intermediate products are key feedstock materials for other products in our integrated manufacturing chain. While our integration, scale and range of product offerings make us one of the most efficient manufacturers in our industry, these attributes also expose us to increased risk associated with material disruptions at any one of our production facilities or logistics operations which could impact the overall manufacturing supply chain. Further, although we believe that our sources of supply for our raw materials, including cumene, natural gas and sulfur, are generally robust, it is difficult to predict the impact that shortages, increased costs and related supply chain logistics considerations may have in the future. In order to mitigate the risk of unplanned interruptions, we schedule several planned plant turnarounds each year to conduct routine and major maintenance across our facilities. We also utilize maintenance excellence and mechanical integrity programs, targeted buffer inventory of intermediate chemicals necessary for our manufacturing process, and co-producer swap arrangements, which are intended to mitigate the extent of any production losses as a result of planned and unplanned downtime; however, the mitigation of all or part of any such production impact cannot be assured.

Recent Developments

Appointment of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

On April 13, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") appointed Patrick C. Day as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of April 27, 2026, to succeed Christopher Gramm who had been serving as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Effective as of such date, Mr. Gramm returned to serving in his role as Vice President of Corporate Finance and Strategic Financial Planning and Analysis for the Company.

Anti-Dumping Duty Petition - Acetone

On November 4, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce") initiated the first five-year review of the anti-dumping orders on imports of acetone from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain. On November 1, 2024, the U.S. International Trade Commission ("ITC") issued its notice of initiation of its five-year review of the orders. The anti-dumping orders and applicable duties were set to continue for another five-year period if Commerce found that revocation of the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and if the ITC found that revocation would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic industry. On March 7, 2025, Commerce determined that revocation of the anti-dumping orders would likely lead to continuation of recurrence of dumping. In January 2026, the ITC made affirmative determinations that revocation of the orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. As a result of Commerce and ITC's determinations, the orders were extended for another five years.

The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate against Income (loss) before taxes for the period in addition to recording any tax effects of discrete items for the quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to state taxes and executive compensation deduction limitations which generally increase the rate, offset by research tax credits and the foreign-derived deduction eligible income (FDDEI) deduction (formerly known as the foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) deduction) that generally decrease the rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, discrete tax adjustments recorded in the quarter related to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 45Q tax credits of $1.8 million, offset slightly by state tax legislation changes, resulted in a net 5.8% decrease in the Effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than the prior year period due primarily to the discrete tax adjustments related to IRC Section 45Q tax credits and state tax legislative changes in the prior year quarter described above.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act") was enacted into law which includes numerous tax provisions affecting businesses, including the reinstatement of full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modification of the limitation on business interest and making permanent full expensing for certain business property. Several of the major business provisions in the Act became effective in 2025 while other business tax changes are effective for the 2026 tax year. The major business provisions in the Act reduced our cash taxes in 2025 and are expected to reduce our cash taxes in 2026 and future periods.

Net Income

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Net income (loss)			$	(15,546)					$	23,344

As a result of the factors described above, Net income (loss) was ($15.5) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $23.3 million in the corresponding prior year period.

Non-GAAP Measures

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

The following tables set forth the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net income before Interest, Income taxes, Depreciation and amortization, Non-cash stock-based compensation, Non-recurring, unusual or extraordinary expenses, Non-cash amortization from acquisitions and Strategic advisory and professional fees that are not reflective of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by Sales. The following tables may also present each of these measures as further adjusted. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information as they are used by the Company’s management to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, enhance a reader’s understanding of the financial performance of the Company, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods and performance relative to the Company's competitors, as the non-GAAP measures exclude items that management believes do not reflect the Company’s ongoing operations.

These non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for the financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other companies' non-GAAP measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

Liquidity

We believe that cash balances and operating cash flows, together with available capacity under our credit agreement, as utilized in the first quarter of 2026, will provide adequate funds to support our current short-term operating objectives as well as our longer-term strategic plans, subject to the risks and uncertainties outlined below, in our "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" above, and in the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our 2025 Form 10-K. Our principal

21

source of liquidity is our cash flow generated from operating activities, which is expected to provide us with the ability to meet the majority of our short-term funding requirements for the next twelve months and beyond. Our cash flows are affected by capital requirements and production volume, which may be materially impacted by unanticipated events such as unplanned downtime, material disruptions at our production facilities, the prices of our raw materials, general economic and industry trends and customer demand. The Company applies a proactive and disciplined approach to working capital management to optimize cash flow and to enable capital allocation options in support of the Company’s strategy. We utilize supply chain financing and trade receivables discount arrangements with third-party financial institutions which optimize terms and conditions related to accounts receivable and accounts payable in order to enhance liquidity and enable us to efficiently manage our working capital needs. Although we continue to optimize supply chain financing and trade receivable programs in the ordinary course, our utilization of these arrangements has not had a material impact on our liquidity. In addition, we monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents. Our emphasis is primarily on the safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities.

On a recurring basis, our primary future cash needs will be centered on operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and liquidity reflecting disciplined capital deployment. Capital expenditures are deployed for various ongoing investments and initiatives to improve reliability, yield and quality, expand production capacity and comply with health, safety and environmental ("HSE") regulations. We believe that our future cash from operations, cash on hand and available capacity under our credit agreement, as well as our access to credit and capital markets, will provide adequate resources to fund our expected operating and financing needs and obligations. Our ability to fund our capital needs, however, will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to credit and capital markets, both of which are subject to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our 2025 Form 10-K, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

As of the end of the first quarter of 2026, the Company had approximately $17.6 million of cash on hand with approximately $229 million of additional capacity available under the revolving credit facility. The Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant of its credit facility allows it to net up to $75 million of cash with debt. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $75 million to $95 million in 2026 compared to $116 million in 2025, reflecting a risk-based prioritization of base investments and enterprise programs with continued progression of growth programs including our SUSTAIN program.

We assumed from Honeywell International Inc. ("Honeywell") all HSE liabilities and compliance obligations related to the past and future operations of our current business as of the spin-off, as well as all HSE liabilities associated with the three manufacturing locations assumed from Honeywell that are used in our current operations, including any cleanup or other liabilities related to any contamination that may have occurred at such locations in the past. Honeywell retained all HSE liabilities related to former business locations or the operation of our former businesses. Although we have ongoing environmental remedial obligations at certain of our facilities, in the past three years, the associated remediation costs have not been material, and we do not expect our known remediation costs to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We expect that our primary cash requirements for 2026 will be to fund costs associated with ongoing operations, capital expenditures, and amounts related to other contractual obligations.

The Company made no cash contributions to the defined benefit pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as there were no funding requirements for the period. Additional contributions may be made in future periods sufficient to satisfy pension funding requirements in those periods or on a discretionary basis.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 6,386,289 shares of common stock life-to-date, including 1,140,833 shares withheld to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of awards, for an aggregate of $195.4 million at a weighted average market price of $30.59 per share. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $62.0 million remained available for share repurchases under the current authorization approved by the Board on February 17, 2023. During the period April 1, 2026 through May 1, 2026, no additional shares were repurchased for tax withholding obligations or under the currently authorized repurchase program.

Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The size and timing of these repurchases will depend on pricing, market and economic conditions, legal and contractual requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The par value of the shares repurchased is applied to Treasury stock and the excess of the purchase price over par value is applied to Additional paid-in capital.

22

As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as described in Instruction 8 to Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K and did not have any material changes in the commitments or contractual obligations detailed in the 2025 Form 10-K (see Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Liquidity"). The Company has not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Credit Agreement

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on June 27, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto, the swing line lenders party thereto, the letter of credit issuers party thereto and Truist Bank, as administrative agent, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to customary borrowing conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility provided for a scheduled maturity date of October 27, 2026 (which was extended to such date pursuant to an October 2025 amendment, as described in more detail below). The Credit Agreement permits the Company to utilize up to $40 million of the Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit and up to $40 million for swing line loans. The Company has the option to establish a new class of term loans and/or increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount for all such incremental term loans and increases of the Revolving Credit Facility of up to the sum of (x) $175 million plus (y) an amount such that the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) would not be greater than 2.75 to 1.00, in each case, to the extent that any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the Credit Agreement, commits to be a lender for such amount or any portion thereof.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% or the sum of an Adjusted Term SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, with either such margin varying according to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee in respect of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio.

Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are pledged as collateral to secure the Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock of the Company, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, make capital expenditures, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of (ii) 3.75 to 1.00 or less (subject to the Company’s option to elect a consolidated leverage ratio increase in connection with certain acquisitions).

23

If the Company does not comply with the covenants in the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all of our covenants at March 31, 2026 and through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.

On October 23, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, (as further amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Truist Bank, as administrative agent.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility for participating Revolving Credit Lenders, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount of $452 million to the earlier of (x) October 27, 2027 and (y) the date of the termination in whole of the Revolving Credit Facility, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, and (ii) effect certain other conforming changes and modifications consistent with the foregoing. The remaining $48 million under the Revolving Credit Facility that was not extended will continue to mature on the earlier of (x) October 27, 2026 and (y) the date of the termination in whole of the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company expects to refinance the Revolving Credit Facility before such maturity date.

We had a borrowed balance of $215 million under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2025. We borrowed an incremental net amount of $55 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, bringing the balance under the Revolving Credit Facility to $270 million, and available credit for use of approximately $229 million as of March 31, 2026. We expect that Cash provided by operating activities will fund future interest payments on the Company's outstanding indebtedness.

Cash Flow Summary

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2026						2025
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities			$	(15,332)					$	11,443
Investing activities			(36,163)						(36,794)
Financing activities			49,303						14,131
Net change in cash and cash equivalents			$	(2,192)					$	(11,220)

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus the prior year period due primarily to (i) a $38.9 million decrease in Net income, (ii) a $10.2 million unfavorable impact from Accrued liabilities and (iii) an unfavorable impact of $7.5 million from Deferred income taxes. These net unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a $30.3 million favorable cash impact from working capital (comprised of Accounts and other receivables, Inventories, Accounts payable and Deferred income and customer advances).

Cash used for investing activities decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus the prior year period due primarily to the timing of cash payments on capital expenditures following prior quarter outages and disciplined spending on replacement maintenance while maintaining progress on growth and other enterprise programs.

Cash provided by financing activities increased by $35.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 versus the prior year period due primarily to net borrowings of $55.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to net borrowings of $20.0 million during the prior year period.

Capital Expenditures

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring ongoing investments that have consisted, and are expected to continue to consist, primarily of capital expenditures required to maintain and improve equipment reliability, expand production output, further improve mix, yield and cost position, and comply with environmental and safety regulations.

The following table summarizes ongoing and expansion capital expenditures:

24

			Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Capital expenditures in Accounts payable at December 31, 2025			$	26,670
Purchases of property, plant and equipment			20,272
Less: Capital expenditures in Accounts payable at March 31, 2026			(11,006)
Cash paid for capital expenditures			$	35,936

For 2026, we expect our total capital expenditures to be approximately $75 million to $95 million as discussed in the Liquidity section above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider these accounting policies to be critical to the understanding of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For a full description of our critical accounting policies, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2025 Form 10-K. While there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them since the filing of the 2025 Form 10-K, we continue to monitor such methodologies and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to risk based on changes in interest rates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 relates primarily to the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at floating rates. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt assuming all other factors remain constant but do impact future earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, we may be exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Based on current borrowing levels at March 31, 2026, a 25-basis point fluctuation in interest rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 would have resulted in an increase or decrease to our interest expense of approximately $0.7 million.

See “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion relating to credit and market, commodity price and interest rate risk management.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud have been, or will be, detected.

25

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("VA DEQ") initiated discussions with the Company regarding certain alleged violations associated with air emissions at the Company’s Hopewell facility. The Company entered into an Order by Consent with the VA DEQ in March 2026, which provided for a civil charge of $2,036,668, of which $25,000 would be paid to the VA DEQ, and the remaining $2,011,668 would be satisfied through (i) supplemental environmental projects protecting the ecosystems and the environment by performing NOx emission reduction capital projects with a required completion date of December 31, 2027 and (ii) paying $250,000 to the VA DEQ for design and/or implementation of wastewater treatment facility measures at the Hopewell Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility.

From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising outside of the ordinary course of our business operations. We are not a party to, and, to our knowledge, there are no pending claims or actions against us, the ultimate disposition of which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of the 2025 Form 10-K, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

FAQ

How did AdvanSix (ASIX) perform financially in Q1 2026?

AdvanSix generated Q1 2026 sales of $404.2 million, up 7% from $377.8 million a year earlier, but reported a net loss of $15.5 million versus $23.3 million profit. Earnings per diluted share declined to $(0.58) from $0.86 as margins compressed.

What drove AdvanSix’s revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026?

Revenue rose mainly due to higher volumes, especially in Chemical Intermediates, contributing about 6 percentage points of growth, plus about 1 percentage point from pricing. Pricing benefited from Plant Nutrients amid higher nitrogen pricing, partially offset by lower raw material pass-through on benzene and propylene.

Why did AdvanSix’s margins and earnings decline in Q1 2026?

Margins fell because of higher sulfur and utility costs, winter storm-related expenses, and the non-recurrence of $26 million in prior-year insurance proceeds. Gross margin dropped to 0.9% from 14.2%, pushing Adjusted EBITDA down to $4.8 million and resulting in a net loss.

What were AdvanSix’s liquidity and debt levels at March 31, 2026?

At March 31, 2026, AdvanSix held $17.6 million of cash and had $270 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility, leaving approximately $229 million of additional capacity. Management believes cash flow, cash on hand, and credit availability support current operating and strategic needs.

What dividends did AdvanSix declare and pay in early 2026?

AdvanSix paid a $0.16 per-share cash dividend on March 23, 2026 to shareholders of record March 9. On May 8, 2026, the board declared another $0.16 dividend payable June 2, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 19, continuing its quarterly dividend practice.

How much did AdvanSix invest in capital expenditures during Q1 2026?

AdvanSix’s cash paid for capital expenditures was $35.9 million in Q1 2026, focused on reliability, maintenance and growth projects. Total capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to range between $75 million and $95 million, down from $116 million in 2025.

Did AdvanSix repurchase any shares during the first quarter of 2026?

In Q1 2026, AdvanSix did not repurchase shares under its public program but withheld 72,500 shares to cover tax obligations on vesting equity awards. As of March 31, 2026, about $62.0 million remained available under the existing share repurchase authorization.
