Methanex (MEOH) berichtete im zweiten Quartal 2024 von einem Nettogewinn von 35 Millionen Dollar (0,52 Dollar pro Aktie) und einem bereinigten EBITDA von 164 Millionen Dollar. Der durchschnittlich realisierte Preis des Unternehmens betrug 352 Dollar pro Tonne, ein Anstieg von 343 Dollar im ersten Quartal. Geismar 3 (G3) hat Ende Juli sein erstes Methanol produziert und steigert nun die Produktion auf volle Kapazität. Die Produktion betrug im 2. Quartal 1,4 Millionen Tonnen, ein Rückgang von 1,7 Millionen Tonnen im 1. Quartal aufgrund einer geringeren Produktion in Chile und Neuseeland. Das Unternehmen erwartet, dass die Produktion im Jahr 2024 etwa 7 Millionen Tonnen betragen wird. Methanex gab 12,5 Millionen Dollar an die Aktionäre durch Dividenden zurück und schloss das 2. Quartal mit 426 Millionen Dollar in bar ab.

Positive
  • Geismar 3 (G3) plant produced first methanol and is ramping up to full rates
  • Average realized price increased to $352 per tonne from $343 in Q1
  • Chile production expected to be slightly above high-end guidance of 1.2 million tonnes for 2024
  • Strong liquidity position with $426 million cash balance and $500 million in undrawn facilities
Negative
  • Q2 net income decreased to $35 million from $53 million in Q1
  • Q2 production decreased to 1.4 million tonnes from 1.7 million tonnes in Q1
  • New Zealand production expected to be below previous guidance of 1.0-1.1 million tonnes for 2024
  • Egypt plant experiencing reduced operating rates due to lower natural gas availability

Methanex's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture with some positive developments and challenges. The company reported $35 million in net income, down from $53 million in Q1 2024. However, Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly to $164 million from $160 million in Q1.

The most significant news is the successful production of first methanol at the new Geismar 3 (G3) plant. This 1.8 million tonne capacity facility is expected to significantly enhance Methanex's cash flow capabilities across various methanol price points. The plant's low emission intensity profile is also noteworthy in an increasingly environmentally conscious market.

On the operational front, there are some concerns:

  • Total production decreased to 1.42 million tonnes from 1.72 million tonnes in Q1, primarily due to lower output in Chile and New Zealand.
  • The Egypt plant is facing reduced operating rates due to lower natural gas availability, which could persist through Q3.
  • New Zealand production is expected to be below previous guidance due to gas supply issues.

Financially, Methanex maintains a strong liquidity position with $426 million in cash and $500 million in undrawn facilities. The average realized price improved to $352 per tonne from $343 in Q1, reflecting a tight methanol market.

While the G3 plant's startup is promising, investors should monitor how quickly it ramps up to full production and its impact on cash flow. The ongoing gas supply challenges in various regions could continue to affect production levels and financial performance in the near term.

Methanex's Q2 2024 results highlight the intricate relationship between natural gas availability and methanol production. The company's performance is significantly impacted by regional energy dynamics, particularly in New Zealand, Egypt and Chile.

In New Zealand, we're seeing a classic case of energy resource allocation during peak demand. The redirection of contractual gas to the power sector during the Southern hemisphere winter, combined with low hydro levels, has led to reduced methanol production. This situation underscores the vulnerability of methanol producers to broader energy market fluctuations.

Egypt's situation is equally telling. The plant's reduced operating rates due to increased seasonal power demand illustrate the precarious balance between industrial production and basic energy needs in developing economies. The government's intervention to manage gas balances shows how energy policy can directly impact industrial output.

Chile's production patterns reflect the seasonal nature of gas supply from Argentina. The ability to secure gas for non-winter periods has allowed Methanex to slightly exceed its production guidance, but it also highlights the company's dependence on cross-border energy agreements.

The startup of the Geismar 3 plant in the U.S. is a strategic move to diversify production away from regions with less stable energy supplies. Its low emission intensity profile aligns with the global trend towards cleaner production methods, potentially giving Methanex a competitive edge in environmentally conscious markets.

Looking ahead, Methanex's ability to navigate these complex energy landscapes will be crucial. The company may need to consider long-term strategies to secure more stable gas supplies or explore alternative feedstocks to mitigate production volatility.

Except where otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in United States dollars.

  • Net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $164 million in the second quarter. Our average realized price in the second quarter was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024.
  • The repairs to the autothermal reformer are complete on the 1.8 million tonne methanol plant, Geismar 3 ("G3"). First methanol was successfully produced in late July and the plant is in the process of of ramping up to full rates. We have completed the repairs on the autothermal reformer and successfully operated the unit under design conditions. G3 will significantly enhance our cash flow capability at a range of methanol prices and will have one of the lowest emission intensity profiles in the industry.
  • Produced 1.4 million tonnes in the second quarter.
    • In Chile, based on production year to date, a successful turnaround at Chile IV, and progress we have made in securing gas for the winter months, we expect 2024 production will be slightly above the high-end of our guidance of 1.1-1.2 million tonnes.
    • Since June 2024, the Egypt plant has experienced reduced operating rates due to lower availability of natural gas. The plant is currently operating with rate limitations based on gas availability and we expect this could continue through the third quarter.
    • In New Zealand, we operated at reduced rates and based on production year to date and current gas deliveries, we expect 2024 production will be below our previous guidance of 1.0 - 1.1 million tonnes.
  • Returned $12.5 million to shareholders through regular dividends and ended the second quarter with $426 million in cash.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For the second quarter of 2024, Methanex (TSX:MX) (NASDAQ:MEOH) reported net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million ($0.52 net income per common share on a diluted basis) compared to net income of $53 million ($0.77 net income per common share on a diluted basis) in the first quarter of 2024. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was lower compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower sales of Methanex-produced methanol and the negative impact of the mark-to-market portion of share-based compensation due to changes in Methanex's share price, offset by a higher average realized price and by the one-time impact of the cost of the ineffective portion of natural gas hedges at our Geismar site recognized during the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $164 million and Adjusted net income was $42 million ($0.62 Adjusted net income per common share). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $160 million and Adjusted net income of $44 million ($0.65 Adjusted net income per common share) for the first quarter of 2024.

Our average realized price in the second quarter was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024. In the second quarter, the methanol market was tight. Growing demand from seasonal manufacturing, construction and transportation activities coupled with constrained global methanol production led to lower inventory levels and increasing methanol prices through the quarter.

In the second quarter, we returned $12.5 million to shareholders through the regular dividend. We ended the quarter with $426 million in cash, or approximately $390 million in cash excluding non-controlling interests and including our share of cash in the Atlas joint venture. We also have an undrawn $500 million revolving credit facility to provide additional financial flexibility.

Rich Sumner, President & CEO of Methanex, said, "I am excited to announce another quarter of solid financial results and and first methanol production at G3. The safety performance of our team and partners on the G3 project has been outstanding and I would like to extend my personal thanks to the team for their hard work and dedication to completing this project safely. As G3 ramps up to full rates and is incorporated into our supply chain, we expect to see strong cash flow contribution which will further enhance our business."

1The operating capacity of our production facilities may be higher or lower than original nameplate capacity as, over time, these figures have been adjusted to reflect ongoing operating efficiencies at these facilities. Actual production for a facility in any given year may be higher or lower than operating capacity due to a number of factors, including natural gas availability, feedstock composition, the age of the facility's catalyst, turnarounds and access to CO2 from external suppliers for certain facilities. We review and update the operating capacity of our production facilities on a regular basis based on historical performance.
2The operating capacity of New Zealand is made up of the two Motunui facilities. Refer to the New Zealand section below.
3The operating capacity of Trinidad is made up of the Titan (100% interest) and Atlas (63.1% interest) facilities. Refer to the Trinidad section below.
  

Key production and operational highlights during the second quarter include:

United States

Geismar produced 514,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 571,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter as we pro-actively took a short maintenance outage which is expected to improve operating performance until the next planned turnaround.

New Zealand

New Zealand produced 178,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 277,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production in the second quarter was lower compared to the first quarter due to lower gas deliveries. We operated one plant through the second quarter due to both lower-than-expected gas deliveries from upstream suppliers as well as from the redirection of some of our contractual gas for use in the power sector. The country’s overall energy balances are currently very tight with demand seasonally high during the Southern hemisphere winter combined with low hydro levels and relatively lower gas supply in 2024 compared with previous years. As a result, we believe some of our contractual gas has been re-directed to the electricity and other domestic markets. We are in continuing discussions with our gas suppliers to ensure our contractual entitlements are being respected as well as engaging with our gas suppliers and government agencies in supporting efforts to improve energy balances in the country. Based on production year to date and current gas deliveries, we expect 2024 production will be below our previous guidance of 1.0 million tonnes.

Trinidad

Atlas produced 231,000 tonnes (Methanex interest) in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 258,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter due to two unplanned outages during the quarter. In October 2023, Methanex signed a two-year natural gas supply agreement with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) for its currently idled, wholly owned, Titan methanol plant (875,000 tonnes per year capacity) to restart operations in September 2024. Simultaneously, the Atlas plant (Methanex interest 63.1% or 1,085,000 tonnes per year capacity) will be idled in September 2024, when its legacy 20-year natural gas supply agreement expires. We are planning for the Titan restart with minimal capital required.

Chile

Chile produced 229,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 391,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter as we primarily operated one plant due to to lower seasonal gas supply from Argentina. We successfully completed a turnaround at Chile IV and expect the new catalyst will drive improved efficiency and production in the fall. Based on production year to date, a successful turnaround at Chile IV, and progress we have made securing gas from Argentina for the non-winter period this year, we expect 2024 production will be slightly above the high-end of our guidance of 1.2 million tonnes. This production is underpinned by year-round natural gas supply from Chile for about 30 – 35% of our requirements with the remaining 65 – 70% being delivered from Argentina during the Southern hemisphere non-winter months. Natural gas development and related infrastructure investments in Argentina continue to progress and we are working with our natural gas suppliers on extending the period of full gas availability to our plants.

Egypt

Egypt produced 258,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 129,000 tonnes) in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 166,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 83,000 tonnes) in the first quarter of 2024. Production increased compared to the first quarter as the plant restarted and reached full operating rates in February after an unplanned outage in mid-October caused by a mechanical failure in the synthesis gas compressor. In June 2024, the Egypt plant was temporarily idled when significantly increased seasonal demand for power generation due to elevated temperatures led to various measures by the government to manage gas balances in the country including gas curtailments to industrial plants. The plant restarted at reduced operating rates shortly thereafter and has operated at fluctuating rates based on gas availability with current operating rates at approximately 80%. There has been some stabilization of gas balances in the country but some continued limitations on supply are expected through the third quarter.

Canada

Medicine Hat produced 141,000 tonnes in each of the second and first quarters of 2024.

Outlook

Our expected production guidance for 2024 is approximately 7 million tonnes (Methanex interest). Actual production may vary by quarter based on gas availability in Chile and New Zealand, the start up of the G3 plant, turnarounds, other gas availability, unplanned outages and unanticipated events.

In the third quarter, we expect lower earnings due to lower produced sales because of lower production from Chile and New Zealand, as well as G3 building inventory. Based on our July and August posted prices we expect that our average realized price range is between approximately $350 to $360 per tonne for these two months.
