In other recent news, Trinseo reported its first-quarter 2025 earnings, with an earnings per share (EPS) of -1.37, which exceeded analyst forecasts of -1.64. However, the company fell short on revenue, reporting $785 million against an expected $912.5 million. This revenue miss contributed to Trinseo’s decision to withdraw its full-year 2025 guidance due to market uncertainties. The company did provide guidance for the second quarter, expecting adjusted EBITDA to range between $55 million and $70 million, and forecasts breakeven free cash flow for the quarter. Trinseo also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, payable in July 2025, as part of its ongoing shareholder return program. Additionally, Trinseo’s adjusted EBITDA increased to $65 million, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. Despite the operational improvements, the company continues to face challenges, including negative free cash flow of $119 million in the first quarter and significant demand challenges in China. Analysts from Alembic Global Partners (NYSE:GLP) and TPH expressed interest in Trinseo’s strategies and market performance during the earnings call.
