Forward guidance
Trinseo anticipates a sequential improvement in profitability, driven by the completion of a turnaround at Americas Styrenics and seasonally stronger demand in building and construction applications. Continued tightness in styrene and MMA markets is expected to support higher margins, with an anticipated improvement in free cash flow.
Tailwinds
- Positive earnings momentum from the end of the first quarter continuing into the second quarter, including similar sales and margin levels to start the quarter.
- Significant sequential profitability improvement as the turnaround at Americas Styrenics is behind us.
- Entering the seasonally stronger period for many of our building and construction applications.
- Continued tightness in the styrene and MMA markets that is supportive of continued higher margins.
- Expect a sequential free cash flow improvement from higher profitability and moderating styrene prices.
Headwinds
- Second quarter 2024 net loss of $53 million to $38 million
- Continued evaluation of additional actions including the potential closure of the Stade, Germany virgin polycarbonate plant.
- Liquidity preservation remains top priority.
- Reconciling items to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are not typically forecasted by the Company based on their nature as being primarily driven by transactions that are not part of the core operations of the business
- Weighted average shares presented for the purpose of forecasting EPS and Adjusted EPS assume that the Company will be in a net loss position for second quarter 2024
