Westlake Corporation is a global manufacturer and supplier of materials and innovative products, serving industries such as housing, construction, packaging, healthcare, automotive, and consumer goods. Headquartered in Houston, the company operates across Asia, Europe, and North America.
In its third quarter of 2025 earnings report, Westlake Corporation announced a net loss of $782 million, largely due to a significant non-cash impairment charge related to its North American chlorovinyls business. The company’s net sales for the quarter were $2.8 billion, with a reported EBITDA of negative $431 million.
Key financial metrics revealed a challenging quarter for Westlake, with a decrease in net sales and a substantial impairment charge of $727 million impacting the Performance and Essential Materials segment. The Housing and Infrastructure Products segment showed resilience, maintaining sales levels despite a slowdown in North American residential construction activity.
Looking forward, Westlake’s management remains committed to improving profitability through cost-saving measures and operational optimizations. The company anticipates achieving $200 million in cost savings by 2026 and expects these efforts to support margins and earnings in the coming year.
