AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX) posted Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.03, compared to $0.09 per share in the year-ago quarter. Sales increased to $360M in the quarter from $329.1M a year earlier.
Fourth-quarter sales increased about 9% from last year to $360 million, with sales volume rising approximately 11% mainly driven by the prior year impact of the fourth-quarter FY24 extended planned turnaround. Market-based pricing was favorable due to continued strength in Plant Nutrients, reflecting favorable North American ammonium sulfate supply and demand conditions, partially offset by lower acetone prices as anticipated.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $14.5 million year-over-year to $24.8 million in the fourth quarter, mainly due to the favorable year-over-year volume and cost impact of plant turnarounds, which was partially offset by a decline in Chemical Intermediates pricing, net of raw material costs.
Looking ahead, management expects continued strength in Plant Nutrients supply and demand fundamentals amid meaningfully higher sulfur input costs. It targets capital expenditures of $75 to $95 million in 2026, compared to $116 million in 2025. Pre-tax income impact of plant turnarounds is expected to be $20 to $25 million in FY26.
AdvanSix’s board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share, payable on March 23, 2026, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2026.
“The AdvanSix team executed well to close out 2025. We delivered full year Adjusted EBITDA of $157 million and generated positive free cash flow in a year characterized by continued cyclical trough market conditions for Nylon Solutions, robust Plant Nutrients supply and demand fundamentals amid a higher raw material input cost environment, and mixed Chemical Intermediates industry conditions with lower net pricing as anticipated,” said Erin Kane, CEO of AdvanSix.
