Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Solstice Advanced Materials reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $991 million, up 10% from $897 million a year earlier, driven by growth in Refrigerants, Nuclear and Electronic Materials. Net income attributable to Solstice was $85 million versus $134 million, with diluted EPS of $0.53 versus $0.85.

Adjusted EBITDA was $249 million, roughly flat year over year, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 25.1% from 27.9% due mainly to refrigerant mix shifts and higher R&D. Operating cash flow reached $199 million and free cash flow was $124 million.

Insights

Equity analyst

Solid Q1 revenue and cash flow, but lower margins; full-year guidance reaffirmed.

Solstice Advanced Materials grew net sales 10% to $991 million, led by strong Refrigerants, Nuclear and Electronic Materials demand. However, net income fell to $85 million from $134 million as mix, higher standalone costs and increased R&D weighed on profitability.

Adjusted EBITDA was essentially flat at $249 million, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin compressed to 25.1% from 27.9%, reflecting the transition to low global warming potential refrigerants and higher corporate expenses. Cash generation was healthy, with operating cash flow of $199 million and free cash flow of $124 million.

The balance sheet shows $642 million of cash, $1.971 billion of total debt and a net leverage ratio of 1.4x based on LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Management reaffirmed 2026 guidance, including net sales of $3.9–$4.1 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $975 million–$1,025 million, and maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share, signaling confidence in the outlook.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA1 of $249 million, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 25.1%"

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.

Free cash flow financial

"Operating Cash Flow of $199 million, Free Cash Flow1 of $124 million"

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Net leverage ratio financial

"Net Leverage ratio was approximately 1.4x based on a trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA1"

The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.

Organic sales percentage financial

"Organic Net Sales1 increased by 8% in the first quarter of 2026"

Adjusted diluted EPS financial

"Adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.63"

Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.

Non-GAAP financial measures financial

"The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP."

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., May 6, 2026 – Solstice Advanced Materials (Nasdaq: SOLS) (“Solstice” or “the Company”), a global leader in high-performance specialty materials, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

“Solstice delivered a strong start to 2026, with results ahead of our first-quarter outlook and continued momentum in our highest-growth platforms,” said David Sewell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Demand in Nuclear, Electronic Materials and Refrigerants remains robust, reinforcing our confidence in the secular growth trends driving our business including artificial intelligence, data centers, semiconductor manufacturing and nuclear energy. We are investing behind these opportunities with discipline, while maintaining balance sheet flexibility and returning cash to shareholders through our dividend. Although we continue to manage near-term refrigerant mix dynamics and an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, our first-quarter execution gives us confidence in our ability to deliver our full-year commitments.”

Consolidated Financial Highlights			For The Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)			2026						2025						% Change
Net Sales			$	991					$	897					10%
Net Income attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials			$	85					$	134					(37)%
Diluted EPS			$	0.53					$	0.85					(37)%
Adjusted diluted EPS1			$	0.63					N/A						N/A
Adjusted EBITDA1,2			$	249					$	250					—%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin1,2			25.1%						27.9%						(277) bps

Net Sales in the first quarter of 2026 were $991 million, a 10% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a 12% increase in Net Sales in the Refrigerants & Applied Solutions segment and a 7% increase in Net Sales in the Electronic & Specialty Materials segment. Organic Net Sales1 increased by 8% in the first quarter of 2026 driven by both volume growth and favorable pricing.

Net Income attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials in the first quarter of 2026 was $85 million, compared to Net Income attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials of $134 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily driven by higher standalone company operating costs, R&D investments, net interest expense, and non-controlling interest, partially offset by higher Net Sales.

Adjusted EBITDA1,2 for the first quarter of 2026 was $249 million relatively unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA Margin1,2 for the first quarter of 2026 decreased 277 basis points to 25.1%. The decrease was primarily driven by previously communicated factors including the near-term margin impact of the ongoing transition to low global warming potential (“LGWP”) refrigerants and higher R&D spend, partially offset by volume growth and favorable pricing.

Financial Position

Operating Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2026 was $199 million. Capital Expenditures3 for the first quarter of 2026 were $82 million, a 32% increase compared to the prior-year period due to planned increases in capital spending intended to drive long-term growth. Free Cash Flow1 for the first quarter of 2026 was $124 million.

1

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s Total Long-Term Debt was $2.0 billion and Cash and Cash Equivalents were approximately $642 million. As a result, the Company’s Net Leverage ratio was approximately 1.4x based on a trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA1. Total liquidity was approximately $1.6 billion, including Cash and Cash Equivalents and $1.0 billion of availability through the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Capital Deployment

The Company announced on April 27, 2026, that the Solstice Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on June 10, 2026 to shareowners of record as of May 27, 2026.

Segment Highlights

Refrigerants & Applied Solutions (RAS)

Net Sales for the Refrigerants & Applied Solutions segment were $711 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 12% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Net Sales in Refrigerants increased 19% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting strong volume and pricing across the business’ product offerings. Nuclear revenues increased 27% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting both favorable pricing and increased volumes. Net Sales in Healthcare Packaging improved 9%, as customer demand patterns recovered following destocking in the second half of 2025. These increases were partially offset by an 8% decline in Building Solutions & Intermediates.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Refrigerants & Applied Solutions segment decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the segment decreased 522 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by previously communicated changes in refrigerant mix as a result of the near-term impact of the ongoing transition to LGWP refrigerants, as well as higher R&D spend as we advance next-generation molecules. These decreases were partially offset by volume growth and favorable pricing.

Electronic & Specialty Materials (ESM)

			For The Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)			2026						2025						% Change
Net Sales
Research & Performance Chemicals			$	121					$	121					—%

Net Sales for the Electronic & Specialty Materials segment were $281 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 7% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Growth was primarily driven by a 21% increase in Electronic Materials reflecting volume growth on robust customer demand for deposition and thermal solutions in leading-edge applications. Safety & Defense sales were comparable to the prior year period due primarily to order timing. Research and Performance Chemicals revenues were unchanged reflecting growth in personal care, offset by ongoing end-market softness in construction markets.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the Electronic & Specialty Materials segment increased 10% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by volume growth in Electronic Materials. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the segment increased 52 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate Expenses totaled $52 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $32 million in the first quarter of 2025 due to incremental ongoing costs necessary to operate as an independent public company. There were no standalone cost adjustments in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $21 million in the first quarter of 2025, which was prior to the separation from Honeywell on October 30, 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Income Tax Expense was $31 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $16 million compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to lower pre-tax income, reflecting an adjusted effective tax rate of 23%.

2026 Nuclear Business Informational Webinar

The Company plans to host an informational webinar on its Nuclear business on Thursday, June 4, 2026. A live webcast of the investor call as well as related presentation materials on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, investor.solstice.com. Dial-in details will be made available closer to the event.

A replay of the webcast will be available shortly after the event concludes and will be available for 30 days following the presentation.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) or Adjusted diluted Earnings per Share to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because deductions (such as repositioning charges, impairment charges, and litigation and other matters) used to calculate projected net income (loss) vary based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income (loss) at this time. The amount of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income (loss) being materially less than projected Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) or Adjusted Net Income attributable to Solstice (non-GAAP). These statements represent forward-looking information and a projected financial outlook, and actual results may vary. Please see the risks and assumptions referred to in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this news release. The guidance in this news release is only effective as of the date it is given and will not be updated or affirmed unless and until the Company publicly announces updated or affirmed guidance.

1 This is a non-GAAP measure or a non-GAAP ratio. For further information on non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios, please refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this news release. Please also refer to tables at the end of this news release for a reconciliation of historical non-GAAP measures and ratios to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These include (1) Organic sales percentage, (2) Adjusted EBITDA, (3) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (4) Adjusted Standalone EBITDA, (5) Adjusted Standalone EBITDA margin, (6) Adjusted Net Income attributable to Solstice, (7) Adjusted diluted EPS, (8) Free cash flow, (9) Net debt, (10) Total leverage ratio, and (11) Net leverage ratio.

Below are definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a meaningful measure of its performance period to period, align the measures to how management evaluates performance internally, and make it easier for investors to compare our performance to peers. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures we use are as follows:

•Organic sales percentage: The Company defines organic sales percentage as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures, for the first 12 months following the transaction date. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

•Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Standalone EBITDA, and Adjusted Standalone EBITDA margin: The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding income taxes, depreciation, amortization, interest and other financial charges, remeasurement of foreign currencies, stock-based compensation expense, nonoperating pension expense (income), transaction-related costs, repositioning charges, asset retirement obligations accretion, asset impairment charges, litigation costs and insurance settlements (net of recoveries), gains and losses on disposal of assets, and certain other items that are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales. The Company defines Adjusted Standalone EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA less, for fiscal year 2025, estimated recurring and ongoing costs required to operate a new independent public company, and autonomous entity adjustments as well as adjustments for certain other employee compensation expense for employees that have historically been shared with other Honeywell businesses and were transferred to the Company in connection with the spin-off. The Company defines Adjusted Standalone EBITDA Margin as Adjusted Standalone EBITDA divided by Net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors as they provide greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, as well as understanding ongoing operating trends.

•Adjusted net income attributable to Solstice and Adjusted diluted EPS: The Company defines Adjusted net income attributable to Solstice as Net income attributable to Solstice Advanced Materials excluding the after-tax impact - based on the tax rates by jurisdiction, net of discrete items - of amortization of acquired intangibles, remeasurement of foreign currencies, nonoperating pension expense (income), transaction-related costs, repositioning charges, asset retirement obligations accretion, asset impairment charges, litigation costs and insurance settlements (net of recoveries), gains and losses on disposal of assets, and certain other items that are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature. We believe Adjusted net income attributable to Solstice is useful to investors as it provides greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, as well as in understanding ongoing operational trends. The Company defines Adjusted diluted EPS as Adjusted net income attributable to Solstice divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding to reflect shares that are dilutive or anti-dilutive based on the amount of Adjusted net income attributable to Solstice. The weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share will differ from such shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share (GAAP) when the inclusion of dilutive shares has an anti-dilutive effect for one calculation but not for the other. We believe Adjusted diluted EPS is useful to

investors as it provides greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, as well as in understanding ongoing operational trends.

•Free cash flow: The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures include capital expenditures paid less proceeds from the disposals of property, plant, and equipment. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by operations that can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock, or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This measure can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

•Net debt, total leverage ratio and net leverage ratio: The Company defines net debt as total debt less cash. The Company defines total leverage ratio as total debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines net leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. For purposes of showing total leverage ratio and net leverage ratio, we use Adjusted Standalone EBITDA instead of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our overall financial condition.
