LSB Industries reports Q1 EPS 27c, two estimates 13c

Reports Q1 revenue $169.5M, two estimates $166.19M. “I am pleased with our first quarter results, as they are in-line with our overall expectations. Our results reflect the impact of the operational discipline we have been building and executing over the past several years. Our progress is increasingly evident over the past two quarters, driving improved operating and financial performance,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB Industries (LXU)’ Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “The evolving geopolitical landscape, including the conflict in the Middle East and associated disruption of production facilities and important trade channels, is significantly impacting the global availability of nitrogen fertilizers. Importantly, our improved operating performance is enabling us to maximize fertilizer production and support US farmers with additional supply in this difficult time. We are encouraged by our continued execution across the business and believe it positions us to continue supporting our customers and deliver sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”
