Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Westlake Corporation's second-quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance that highlighted several metrics and strategic actions. The call detailed an EBITDA of $340 million on net sales of $3 billion, with the Housing and Infrastructure Products (HIP) segment showing strong performance with an EBITDA margin of 24% on sales of $1.2 billion. Despite a challenging operating environment with elevated interest rates, the HIP segment benefited from increased municipal water demand, influenced by the 2021 Infrastructure Act. For the Performance and Essential Materials (PEM) segment, earnings were pressured by lower production levels and a global oversupply of chemical products, impacting EBITDA by approximately $110 million. The company outlined a three-pronged PEM profitability improvement strategy, aiming for $150 million to $175 million in cost reductions in 2025, and targeting an additional $200 million by 2026. Additionally, Westlake reported a net loss of $12 million or $0.09 per share, with plans to close the Pernis epoxy site in the Netherlands to enhance future profitability. The company maintains a 2025 revenue guidance of $4.2 billion to $4.4 billion for the HIP segment with an EBITDA margin between 20% and 22%, and capital expenditures are projected at approximately $900 million for the year.

Strong Performance of HIP Segment

The Housing and Infrastructure Products (HIP) segment delivered solid EBITDA of $275 million on sales of $1.2 billion, representing a strong 24% EBITDA margin. Growth was driven by increased demand for municipal water applications, benefiting from the 2021 Infrastructure Act.

Cost Reduction Achievements

Westlake achieved over $75 million of company-wide cost reductions in the first half of 2025 towards a full-year target of $150 million to $175 million, with plans to drive an additional $200 million of cost reductions by 2026.

Stability in Building Products

Despite a slowdown in North American residential construction, the balanced portfolio of HIP—50% new construction and 50% repair and remodel—provided stability.
