AdvanSix reports Q2 EPS $1.25, consensus $1.07

Reports Q2 revenue $428M, consensus $419.5M. “AdvanSix successfully delivered solid earnings and cash flow results in the Q2 against a record prior year,” said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. “The AdvanSix team executed well within a mixed set of dynamics across the portfolio. We captured strong in-season demand for plant nutrients in a significantly lower nitrogen and raw material environment, navigated a nylon pricing environment pressured by industry supply and demand conditions including increased low-priced imports, while North American acetone supply and demand continued to be balanced. Our team’s collective performance and advantaged business model supporting through-cycle profitability illustrates the value and resilience of our diversified chemistry company. Our confidence is reflected in once again increasing our quarterly cash dividend by 10%.”
