Forward guidance
LSB Industries has commenced a Turnaround at their Pryor facility and plan to conduct a Turnaround at their Cherokee facility in the fourth quarter. The EPA is currently indicating a final decision next Spring on the Class VI permit application submitted by their partner, Lapis Energy, for their El Dorado carbon capture and sequestration project. The company anticipates proceeding to a full FEED study for their Houston Ship Channel project and continues to have productive conversations with potential off-take parties for the low carbon product from this facility.
Tailwinds
- Industrial business remains stable.
- Metals commodity prices are very supportive of maximizing production.
- Ammonia market is healthy and pricing has been strong.
- UAN pricing remains solid.
- Pre-FEED is underway with expected completion in Q4'24 for Houston Ship Channel Blue Ammonia project.
Headwinds
- Corn futures prices have weakened.
- Increased stocks-to-use ratios.
- USDA forecasts for U.S. corn acres planted in 2024 higher than historical average.
- Potentially offsetting the above factors could be the impact of wet weather in certain growing regions resulting in reduced yields.
- Net sales and operating income declined during the quarter driven by lower pricing for UAN and our AN and nitric products coupled with lower sales volumes for HDAN and ammonia.
