WAYNE, Pa — February 13, 2025 — Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider, today reported its full-year and fourth quarter 2024 financial results. Net sales of $821 million in the fourth quarter decreased 2% versus prior year. Lower sales volumes across all business segments due to continued end market demand weakness and intentional reductions of low-margin sales resulted in a 6% decrease in net sales. Higher prices, primarily from the pass-through of higher raw material costs and improved product mix, led to a 4% increase.
Fourth quarter net loss of $118 million was $147 million better than prior year primarily due to a $127 million lower provision for income taxes in the current year and $10 million of higher restructuring and other charges in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $26 million was $6 million above prior year despite a $10 million unfavorable year-over-year net timing variance, reflecting improved results in all operating business segments except Americas Styrenics. Americas Styrenics was negatively impacted by $15 million of unfavorable timing due to falling raw material costs, primarily benzene. Savings from previously announced restructuring actions positively contributed to fourth quarter results.
Net sales in the full year decreased 4% versus prior year. Lower sales volumes led to a 6% decrease, while higher prices resulted in a 1% increase. Full-year net loss of $349 million was $352 million better than the prior year. This was mainly due to a $350 million goodwill impairment charge recorded during 2023, while higher interest expense and net restructuring costs were offset by improved profitability of our core businesses in the current year. Adjusted EBITDA of $204 million was $50 million above prior year as the benefits from previously announced asset closures and other restructuring actions, along with moderating input costs, was partially offset by lower equity affiliate income at Americas Styrenics. Cash used in operations of $14 million and capital expenditures of $63 million led to Free Cash Flow* of negative $78 million.
Commenting on the Company’s fourth quarter performance, Frank Bozich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinseo, said, “Core business results in the fourth quarter were in line with expectations, reflecting seasonally lower volumes and extended year-end shutdowns. However, falling raw material prices resulted in negative timing impacts in Polymer Solutions and in Americas Styrenics. These lower raw material prices resulted in lower working capital balances, which contributed to the highest free cash flow generation in over two years.”
Fourth Quarter Results and Commentary by Business Segment
In connection with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, on October 1, 2024, the company changed the management of its businesses to better reflect the Company’s strategic focus on providing solutions in areas such as sustainability and material substitution. The Compounding business within the Plastics Solutions segment was combined with the Engineered Materials segment, while the remaining Plastics Solutions businesses were combined with the Polystyrene segment and renamed Polymer Solutions. Therefore, all current and prior period results have been adjusted to reflect these changes.
| ● | Engineered Materials net sales of $276 million for the quarter was flat versus prior year as a 4% impact from lower sales volume was offset by a 4% increase from higher price. Adjusted EBITDA of $27 million was $20 million above prior year, including a $6 million unfavorable net timing variance, due to higher margins from moderating input costs, higher volumes into consumer electronics applications, and improved PMMA pricing. |
| ● | Latex Binders net sales of $218 million for the quarter increased 1% versus prior year as a 5% impact from lower volumes, primarily in paper applications in Asia, was more than offset by a 6% impact from higher price mainly due to improved product mix and the pass-through of higher raw material costs. Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million was $1 million above prior year due to higher margins and improved regional and product mix. Sales volumes sold to CASE applications accounted for 12% of total segment volumes and 16% of total segment variable margin, with volumes increasing 10% over prior year. |
| ● | Polymer Solutions net sales of $327 million for the quarter decreased 6% versus prior year due to an 8% impact from lower sales volume, which was primarily the result of intentionally reducing low-margin polystyrene sales. Adjusted EBITDA of $17 million was $8 million above prior year due to better product mix and lower fixed costs from the exit of styrene production in Terneuzen. |
| ● | Americas Styrenics Adjusted EBITDA of negative $10 million for the quarter was $23 million below prior year driven by a $15 million unfavorable timing impact due to falling raw material prices and lower styrene margins. |
First Quarter 2025 Outlook
| ● | First quarter 2025 net loss of $(55) million to $(40) million |
| ● | First quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $65 million to $80 million, including approximately $26 million attributable to the polycarbonate technology license agreement |
Commenting on the first quarter outlook, Bozich said, “We are seeing seasonally higher volumes to begin the first quarter, but still expect Q1 volumes to be lower year-over-year due to continued weakness in automotive and building and construction end markets, and in paper applications in Asia. Despite these lower volumes, we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be consistent with the prior year excluding the contribution from the polycarbonate technology license agreement with Deepak.”
Bozich continued, “While we continue to face several macroeconomic challenges entering 2025, I am encouraged by Trinseo’s outlook as we begin the new year. The actions we have taken over the past two years have positioned us well for an eventual end market recovery, and the refinancing transaction that we recently closed in January greatly enhances our liquidity position and gives us ample runway to continue investing in our growth businesses and leading circular technologies.”

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, 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.

Forward-looking statements reflect management’s evaluation of information currently available and are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, our current indebtedness, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

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.

| (a) | Restructuring and other charges for the 2024 and 2023 periods primarily relate to employee termination benefits, contract termination costs as well as decommissioning and other charges incurred in connection with the Company’s restructuring plans. |
| (b) | Other items for the 2024 and 2023 periods primarily relate to loss on extinguishment of debt and fees incurred in conjunction with certain of the Company’s strategic initiatives, as well as costs related to our transition to a new enterprise resource planning system. |
| (c) | Adjusted to remove the tax impact of the items noted within the table above. The income tax expense (benefit) related to these items was determined utilizing he applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which these adjustments occurred. The three months and year ended December 31, 2024, excludes $7.0 million of tax benefit and $11.8 million of tax expense, respectively, related to adjustments to valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits in various jurisdictions. The three months and year ended December 31, 2023, excludes $60.9 million and $65.1 million of tax expense, respectively, primarily related to the recording of valuation allowances in the Company’s subsidiaries in the United States and Switzerland, and adjustments in accruals related to outstanding tax audits. |
| (d) | Amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 excludes accelerated depreciation of $23.9 million and $21.7 million, respectively, and the amounts for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 excludes accelerated depreciation of $24.4 million and $19.1 million. The 2024 period charges are primarily related to the shortening of the useful life of certain assets related to the 2024 restructuring plan. The 2023 period charges are primarily related to the shortening of the useful life of certain assets related to the asset restructuring plan as well as charges related to the shortening of the useful life of certain IT assets related to the Company’s transition to a new enterprise resource planning system. |
For the same reasons discussed above, we are providing the following reconciliation of forecasted net loss to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2025. See “Note on Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of the limitations of these forecasts. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

| (e) | 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 and, as a result, cannot be estimated without unreasonable cost or uncertainty. As such, for the forecasted first quarter ended March 31, 2025, we have not included estimates for these items. |
| (f) | 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 first quarter 2025, and therefore excludes the impact of potentially dilutive shares, as the inclusion of said shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Further, the weighted average shares presented do not forecast significant future share transactions or events, such as repurchases, significant share-based compensation award grants, and changes in the Company’s share price. These are all factors which could have a significant impact on the calculation of EPS and Adjusted EPS during actual future periods. |
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.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “see,” “tend,” “assume,” “potential,” “likely,” “target,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “seek,” “attempt,” “should,” “could,” “would” or expressions of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s evaluation of information currently available and are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy, our current indebtedness, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Factors that might cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to successfully implement proposed restructuring initiatives, including the closure of certain plants and product lines, and to successfully generate cost savings through restructuring and cost reduction initiatives; our ability to successfully execute our business and transformation strategy; the timing of, and our ability to complete, the sale of our interest in Americas Styrenics; increased costs or disruption in the supply of raw materials; deterioration of our credit profile limiting our access to commercial credit; increased energy costs; implementation of tariffs, changes to global trade policies, or retaliatory actions; compliance with laws and regulations impacting our business; any disruptions in production at our chemical manufacturing facilities, including those resulting from accidental spills or discharges; conditions in the global economy and capital markets; our current and future levels of indebtedness and ability to service our debt; our ability to meet the covenants under our existing indebtedness; our ability to generate cash flows from operations and achieve our forecasted cash flows; and those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, under Part I, Item 1A —"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our other reports, filings and furnishings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. As a result of these or other factors, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. This presentation contains financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US (“GAAP”) including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Free Cash Flow. We believe these measures provide relevant and meaningful information to investors and lenders about the ongoing operating results and liquidity position of the Company. Such measures when referenced herein should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity, as applicable. We have provided a reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP metric alongside of the respective measure or otherwise in the Appendix section and in the accompanying press release. |

For this reason, potential reconciling items to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) during 2025 are not reflected. NOTE: For definitions of non-GAAP measures as well as descriptions of current period reconciling items from Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and to Adjusted Net Income (Loss), refer to the accompanying press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K dated February 12, 2025.
