Trinseo (NYSE: TSE) 2025 sales hit $3.0B as net loss deepens
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Trinseo PLC reported weaker results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Fourth quarter net sales were $663 million, down 19% from 2024, with a net loss of $251 million versus $118 million a year earlier. The quarter included $127 million of pre-tax restructuring and other charges, while Adjusted EBITDA held roughly flat at $26 million.
For 2025, net sales were $2,974.9 million, down about 15%, and the full-year net loss widened to $545.6 million from $348.5 million. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA declined to $162.5 million from $203.7 million. Free Cash Flow was negative $153.4 million, reflecting cash used in operations of $102.4 million and capital expenditures of $51.0 million.
At December 31, 2025, Trinseo had cash and cash equivalents of $146.7 million and long-term debt of $2,332.5 million. Shareholders’ equity was a deficit of $1,097.8 million, deeper than the prior year’s deficit. Management highlighted ongoing restructuring actions, cost savings efforts and investment in strategic growth areas, while noting multiple risks including high indebtedness and going concern uncertainties in its risk discussion.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Deepening losses and weaker earnings quality: 2025 net loss widened to $545.6 million from $348.5 million, while Adjusted EBITDA fell from $203.7 million to $162.5 million, indicating deteriorating underlying performance despite restructuring adjustments.
- Negative cash generation and liquidity strain: Cash used in operations was $102.4 million and Free Cash Flow was negative $153.4 million in 2025, highlighting that the business is currently not self-funding its capital needs.
- Highly leveraged balance sheet and equity deficit: At December 31, 2025, long-term debt of $2,332.5 million and a shareholders’ equity deficit of $1,097.8 million point to significant leverage and thin capital buffers.
- Heightened risk disclosures: The forward-looking statements section specifically cites factors such as the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, meet debt covenants, refinance indebtedness, and avoid potential delisting, signaling elevated financial and execution risk.
Insights
Results show deep losses, negative cash flow and a larger equity deficit despite restructuring.
Trinseo’s 2025 profile combines shrinking revenue and persistent losses. Net sales fell to $2.97 billion, while the full-year net loss expanded to $545.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $162.5 million, suggesting that even on a normalized basis profitability weakened.
The balance sheet is highly leveraged: long-term debt of $2,332.5 million exceeds total assets, and shareholders’ equity stands at a negative $1,097.8 million. Cash from operations was negative $102.4 million, driving Free Cash Flow to negative $153.4 million. This raised focus on liquidity and refinancing capacity.
Management cites restructuring savings and $27 million of polycarbonate license income as offsets to lower volumes and margins, and continues investing in targeted growth segments. However, the risk discussion explicitly references high indebtedness, covenant pressures and the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, underscoring elevated financial risk until operating trends and cash generation improve.

WAYNE, Pa — March 13, 2026 — Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider, today reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. Net sales of $663 million in the fourth quarter decreased 19% versus prior year due to lower sales volume across all business segments and competitive pricing pressure in Polymer Solutions and Latex Binders particularly in Europe and Asia.
Fourth quarter net loss of $251 million was $133 million weaker than prior year. The current year quarter included $127 million of pre-tax restructuring and other charges related to the Company’s restructuring initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million was in line with prior year. The higher net loss and flat Adjusted EBITDA were attributable to lower volumes and margins, partially offset by savings from restructuring initiatives.
Net sales in the full year decreased 15% versus prior year. Lower sales volumes across all segments led to a 10% decrease and lower margins in Polymer Solutions and Latex Binders resulted in a 6% decrease, partially offset by favorable foreign currency of 1%. Full-year net loss of $546 million was $197 million lower than the prior year. The current year included $140 million of pre-tax restructuring and other charges related to the Company’s various restructuring initiatives. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $163 million was $41 million below prior year as the benefits realized from restructuring actions and $27 million of polycarbonate license income were more than offset by lower sales volume across all business segments, lower margins in Polymer Solutions and Latex Binders, and lower equity affiliate income from Americas Styrenics. Cash used in operations of $102 million and capital expenditures of $51 million led to Free Cash Flow* of negative $153 million.
Fourth Quarter Results and Commentary by Business Segment
| ● | Engineered Materials net sales of $240 million for the quarter decreased 13% versus prior year primarily due to lower sales volumes in MMA related to the closure of our virgin production facilities in Italy. Adjusted EBITDA of $27 million was essentially flat versus prior year, as restructuring savings were largely offset by lower volumes. |
| ● | Latex Binders net sales of $176 million for the quarter decreased 19% versus prior year from lower sales in textile, paper and board globally. Adjusted EBITDA of $9 million was $10 million below prior year from lower volumes and margins, primarily in paper and board and textile applications in Europe. Net sales to CASE and battery binders applications accounted for 17% of total segment net sales, with volume increasing 1% over prior year despite subdued end market demand. |
| ● | Polymer Solutions net sales of $246 million for the quarter decreased 25% versus prior year and Adjusted EBITDA of $15 million was $2 million below prior year, both driven by unfavorable mix and lower volumes. |
| ● | Americas Styrenics Adjusted EBITDA of negative $7 million for the quarter was $3 million above prior year from higher polystyrene volumes and an outsized unfavorable timing impact in 2024. |
Commenting on 2025, Bozich said, “While we continued to face numerous market and macroeconomic headwinds throughout 2025, our team remained resilient and delivered exceptional safety performance that exceeded our environmental, health, and safety goals for the year.

Use of non-GAAP measures
In addition to using standard measures of performance and liquidity that are recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use additional measures of income excluding certain GAAP items (“non-GAAP measures”), such as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and measures of liquidity excluding certain GAAP items, such as Free Cash Flow. We believe these measures are useful for investors and management in evaluating business trends and performance each period. These measures are also used to manage our business and assess current period profitability, as well as to provide an appropriate basis to evaluate the effectiveness of our pricing strategies. Such measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity, as applicable. The definitions of each of these measures, further discussion of usefulness, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are provided in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information presented herein.

Note 2: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Performance Measures to Net Income
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization expense. We refer to EBITDA in making operating decisions because we believe it provides our management as well as our investors with meaningful information regarding the Company’s operational performance. We believe the use of EBITDA as a metric assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which we define as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization expense; loss on extinguishment of long-term debt; asset impairment charges; gains or losses on the dispositions of businesses and assets; restructuring charges; acquisition related costs and benefits, and other items. In doing so, we are providing management, investors, and credit rating agencies with an indicator of our ongoing performance and business trends, removing the impact of transactions and events that we would not consider a part of our core operations.
Lastly, we present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS as additional performance measures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined beginning with net income from continuing operations, above), less interest expense, less the provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, tax affected for various discrete items, as appropriate. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per weighted average diluted shares outstanding for a given period. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other stakeholders in evaluating and assessing our operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of certain transactions and activities that affect comparability and that are not considered part of our core operations.
There are limitations to using the financial performance measures noted above. These performance measures are not intended to represent net income or other measures of financial performance. As such, they should not be used as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance. Other companies in our industry may define these performance measures differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use these or similarly named financial measures that other companies may use, to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of these performance measures to our net income, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

Note 3: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures to Cash from Operations
The Company uses certain measures, such as Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures, to evaluate and discuss its liquidity position and results. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides an indicator of the Company’s ongoing ability to generate cash through core operations, as it excludes the cash impacts of various financing transactions as well as cash flows from business combinations that are not considered organic in nature. We also believe that Free Cash Flow provides management and investors with useful analytical indicators of our ability to service our indebtedness, pay dividends (when declared), and meet our ongoing cash obligations.
Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and therefore, should not be used as alternatives for that measure. Other companies in our industry may define Free Cash Flow differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use this or similarly named financial measures that other companies may use, to compare the liquidity and cash generation of those companies to our own. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the following detail, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

FAQ
How did Trinseo (TSE) perform financially in the fourth quarter of 2025?
Trinseo’s fourth quarter 2025 net sales were $663 million, down 19% from 2024. The company reported a net loss of $251 million, significantly worse than the prior-year loss of $118 million, including $127 million of pre-tax restructuring and other charges.
What were Trinseo’s full-year 2025 sales, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA?
For 2025, Trinseo generated net sales of about $2.97 billion and a net loss of $545.6 million. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA was $162.5 million, down from $203.7 million in 2024, as lower volumes and margins outweighed restructuring benefits and license income.
What does Trinseo’s 2025 cash flow and Free Cash Flow show about liquidity?
In 2025, Trinseo used $102.4 million of cash in operating activities and spent $51.0 million on capital expenditures. This resulted in negative Free Cash Flow of $153.4 million, indicating the business did not generate enough cash to cover its investment needs.
How did Trinseo’s non-GAAP metrics like Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Net Loss trend in 2025?
Trinseo’s 2025 Adjusted Net Loss was $302.9 million, compared with $272.3 million in 2024. Adjusted EPS declined to $(8.46) from $(7.71). Management uses these non-GAAP measures to exclude restructuring, financing and other non-core items from earnings comparisons.
What key risks did Trinseo highlight alongside its 2025 results?
Trinseo cited numerous risks, including its ability to continue as a going concern, high levels of indebtedness, meeting debt covenants, potential delisting of its shares, energy and raw material cost pressures, and execution of restructuring and transformation strategies in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
