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.

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.
