Why Palantir Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 13%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Celanese will continue to take actions commensurate with the current demand environment. To this end, the Company intends to temporarily reduce the quarterly dividend by approximately 95 percent beginning in the first quarter of 2025. This action is a prudent and cost-effective path forward to support deleveraging. In addition, Celanese is taking the following actions to drive continued improvement to earnings and cash generation:
<ul>
<li>Reducing manufacturing costs through the end of 2024 by temporarily idling production facilities in every region and driving cash generation through an expected $200 million inventory release in the fourth quarter.</li>
<li>Implementing additional cost reduction programs expected to realize incremental savings greater than $75 million by the end of 2025. The focus of the programs will be on driving productivity in selling, general, and administrative (SG&amp;A) costs.</li>
<li>Continuing to focus on efficiently and stringently deploying capital, and targeting next year's capex spending to be below 2024 levels.</li>
<li>Closing on a 364-day delayed draw prepayable term loan for up to $1 billion. The Company expects to draw on the term loan in the first quarter of 2025 for use towards the $1.3 billion maturing debt.</li>
</ul>

Guidance

Celanese Reducing Manufacturing Costs Through The End Of 2024 By Temporarily Idling Production Facilities In Every Region And Driving Cash Generation Through An Expected $200M Inventory Release In Q4. Implementing Additional Cost Reduction Programs Expected To Realize Incremental Savings Greater Than $75M By The End Of 2025.

Outlook
"We expect demand conditions to worsen in the fourth quarter, as automotive and industrial segments react to recent dynamics by seasonally destocking at heavier than normal levels. While we expect this destocking to be temporary and contained to the quarter, we will significantly slow our production to match this demand level and to generate cash through inventory draw. Based on these factors, we anticipate fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share of approximately $1.25," said Lori Ryerkerk. "We hold ourselves to a high standard at Celanese, and are taking additional actions to strengthen our company. Our focus is on driving business improvement through earnings growth, cost reductions, free cash flow expansion, and deleveraging to position Celanese for long-term shareholder value creation."
Reconciliations of forecasted non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT or free cash flow to the equivalent U.S. GAAP measures (diluted earnings per share, net earnings (loss) attributable to Celanese Corporation and net cash provided by (used in) operations, respectively), are not available without unreasonable efforts because a forecast of Certain Items, such as mark-to-market pension gains/losses, and other items is not practical. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
The Company's prepared remarks related to the third quarter will be posted on its website at investors.celanese.com under Financial Information/Financial Document Library on November 4, 2024. Information about Non-US GAAP measures is included in a Non-US GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Information document posted on our investor relations website under Financial Information/Non-GAAP Financial Measures. See also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

We support sustainability by responsibly managing the materials we create and growing our portfolio of sustainable products to meet customer and societal demand. We strive to make a positive impact in our communities and to foster inclusivity across our teams. Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 company that employs approximately 12,400 employees worldwide with 2023 net sales of $10.9 billion.

Celanese Says "We Expect Demand Conditions To Worsen In Q4, As Automotive And Industrial Segments React To Recent Dynamics By Seasonally Destocking At Heavier Than Normal Levels. While We Expect This Destocking To Be Temporary And Contained To The Quarter, We Will Significantly Slow Our Production To Match This Demand Level And To Generate Cash Through Inventory Draw. Based On These Factors, We Anticipate Q4 Adj EPS Of ~$1.25"
