Celanese reports Q2 adjusted EPS $1.44, consensus $1.40

Reports Q2 revenue $2.53B, consensus $2.49B. “Since the start of 2025, we have been clear that cash generation is our number one priority, and I want to thank our teams for their focus and dedication in helping us achieve over $300 million of free cash flow in the quarter,” said Scott Richardson, president and chief executive officer. “We anticipated the possibility of a challenging demand environment throughout the year and have emphasized the importance of cash generation, which has enabled us to pay off our delayed draw term loan,” continued Richardson. “We are also pleased that the deliberate actions we took drove earnings results for us this quarter, especially in the Engineered Materials business. We are confident that our action plans will continue to drive value. However, the demand environment does not seem to be improving, so our focus remains unchanged. We continue to take aggressive actions to generate cash, reduce costs, and drive growth through our two highly differentiated business models.”
