Celanese Corporation reported improved profitability for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Net sales were $2,337 million, slightly below $2,389 million a year earlier, but operating profit rose to $214 million from $165 million as mix and one‑time items helped margins.
Net earnings attributable to Celanese were $44 million, compared with a loss of $24 million, and diluted earnings per share moved to $0.40 from a loss of $0.22. Results benefited from a $50 million gain on the sale of the Micromax business and higher equity earnings, partially offset by $20 million of restructuring charges and higher interest expense of $183 million.
Operating cash flow increased to $76 million, while investing inflows of $425 million were driven by $493 million of proceeds from the Micromax divestiture. Cash and cash equivalents rose to $1,758 million and long-term debt including current installments stood at $12,599 million, reflecting a leveraged but liquid balance sheet.
Celanese Corporation reported first quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $0.85, reflecting solid execution in a weak demand environment. Engineered Materials delivered adjusted EBIT of $220 million and operating EBITDA of $324 million, helped by favorable mix, cost reductions and value‑based pricing.
The Acetyl Chain generated adjusted EBIT of $131 million and operating EBITDA of $194 million, with late‑quarter supply disruptions creating high‑value pricing opportunities that are expected to benefit second quarter results. Company‑wide free cash flow was $3 million, an improvement versus typical seasonal cash use.
Management raised its full‑year 2026 free cash flow target to $700–$800 million and continues to prioritize deleveraging, with net debt of $10.8 billion at quarter‑end and plans to repay roughly $900 million of bonds in the second and third quarters. For the second quarter, Celanese guides to adjusted EPS of $2.00–$2.40, driven primarily by stronger Acetyl Chain earnings, and expects second quarter to be the highest‑earning quarter of 2026.
