Insights

Financial Analyst

Strong quarterly performance with substantial improvements across key metrics. $398M in sales represents a 23% YoY growth, driven by volume increases and favorable pricing. Notable is the $53.2M Adjusted EBITDA, a significant improvement from $7.3M last year, with margins expanding to 13.4%.

The operational challenges at the Hopewell facility will impact Q4 with an expected $17M hit to pre-tax income, though the company has returned to targeted utilization rates. The USDA grant of $12M for capacity expansion strengthens their growth trajectory in premium grade products.

Strong cash flow generation with $57.3M from operations shows improved working capital management. The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share reflects financial stability despite operational headwinds.

Market Research Analyst

Market conditions are notably favorable across key segments. The ammonium sulfate segment shows robust demand driven by agricultural sulfur nutrition needs, while acetone markets display constructive supply-demand dynamics. The North American nylon industry is showing modest improvement, suggesting a potential upward trend in industry spreads.

Portfolio diversification is proving effective with chemical intermediates comprising 30% of sales, followed by ammonium sulfate at 27%, nylon at 24% and caprolactam at 19%. This balanced revenue mix provides stability and multiple growth avenues, particularly as the company expands premium grade production capacity.

We are accelerating focused growth in the most profitable areas of our business and were pleased to be awarded an approximately $12 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to increase our production capacity of premium grade products, reinforcing a strong return profile for our SUSTAIN (Sustainable U.S. Sulfate to Accelerate Increased Nutrition) program.”

(2) Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures

Sales of $398 million in the quarter increased approximately 23% versus the prior year. Sales volume increased approximately 11% primarily driven by higher sales of ammonium sulfate supported by sulfur nutrition demand. Raw material pass-through pricing was favorable by 8% as a result of a net cost increase in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Market-based pricing was favorable by 5% including continued strength in acetone, as well as ammonium sulfate as growers seeking to maximize crop yields continue to recognize the benefits of sulfur nutrition.

Sales by product line and approximate percentage of total sales are included below:

($ in Thousands)		3Q 2024					3Q 2023 (1)
		Sales			% of Total		Sales			% of Total
Nylon		$	93,693		24%		$	86,056		27%
Caprolactam			76,338		19%			68,795		21%
Ammonium Sulfate			107,668		27%			79,067		24%
Chemical Intermediates			120,488		30%			88,989		28%
Total		$	398,187		100%		$	322,907		100%
(1) Previously reported amounts have been updated for a reclassification of certain products representing approximately $5.5 million of sales in 3Q 2023 between Ammonium Sulfate (decreased) and Chemical Intermediates (increased). Total sales were not impacted.

Adjusted EBITDA of $53.2 million in the quarter increased $45.8 million versus the prior year primarily driven by favorable pricing, net of raw material costs, higher sales volume, and the timing of planned plant turnarounds.

Adjusted earnings per share of $0.88 increased $1.24 versus the prior year driven primarily by the factors discussed above.

Cash flow from operations of $57.3 million in the quarter increased $36.4 million versus the prior year primarily driven by higher net income. Capital expenditures of $30.5 million in the quarter increased $5.4 million versus the prior year primarily reflecting planned increased spend on maintenance and enterprise programs.

Outlook

• Ammonium sulfate order book sold through 4Q24 amid continued strong sulfur nutrition demand
• Expect balanced to tight global acetone supply and demand conditions
• Expect North American nylon industry spreads to modestly improve amid stable end market demand
• Expect Capital Expenditures to now be $135 to $140 million in 2024, reflecting refined execution timing to address critical enterprise risk mitigation and growth projects including our SUSTAIN (Sustainable U.S. Sulfate to Accelerate Increased Nutrition) program
• As a result of additional required maintenance and a delayed ramp to full operating rates at our Hopewell site following our planned plant turnaround, we expect an incremental approximately $17 million unfavorable impact to pre-tax income in 4Q24, inclusive of $10 million related to fixed cost absorption and higher maintenance expense, and $7 million of lost sales; no impact on 3Q24 results

Manufacturing plant turnarounds are a critical enabler for driving operational excellence, safety and compliance across the AdvanSix enterprise, and key to achieving and sustaining disproportionately higher operating rates given our competitive cost advantage. This year’s fourth quarter planned turnaround was comprehensive in scope, designed to encompass maintenance and reliability work at our three major sites. The mechanical portion of the turnaround was safely and well executed across all sites, however we experienced a delayed ramp to full operating rates in our Hopewell facility given a challenge associated with our Ammonia plant re-start.

“2024 has truly been a year of contrasts. On the positive side, we have consistently demonstrated our agility and focus by deploying the right strategies and actions to achieve commercial success while advancing targeted growth initiatives. On the opportunity side, while we have proven ability to navigate and recover from operational difficulties, our manufacturing execution this year has not met our expectations. Operational excellence is a key enabler to our overall performance, with meaningful performance upside for us to capture, and we take all learnings for sustained continuous improvement with rigor and discipline. Despite the unfavorable impact of the extended turnaround in the fourth quarter, we are pleased to have returned to our targeted utilization rates and our outlook for the remainder of the year and 2025 continues to be supported by our diverse product portfolio, advantaged business model and favorable industry dynamics. We remain confident in the growth prospects for AdvanSix, and are committed to delivering sustainable long-term value to our shareholders,” concluded Kane.

Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on November 26, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2024.
