Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider, today reported its third quarter 2022 financial results. Net sales in the third quarter decreased 7% versus prior year. Lower sales volumes resulted in an 18% decrease as economic uncertainty and falling raw material prices led to a high level of customer destocking, particularly in Europe and in applications supporting building & construction and consumer durables. Higher prices resulted in an 11% increase from the passthrough of higher raw material and utility costs.
Third quarter net loss from continuing operations of $118 million was $197 million below prior year and Adjusted EBITDA of negative $37 million was $210 million below prior year. Geopolitical uncertainty in Europe, continued COVID-19 lockdowns in China, a slowdown in U.S. residential construction and minimal improvement in automotive production all led to weak demand, which not only challenged volumes but also pressured margins. Historically high energy costs in Europe created further economic uncertainty for our customers and contributed to negative styrene margins throughout the quarter. In addition, the operating environment in the third quarter led to several headwinds, most notably a pre-tax impact of $24 million for negative net timing from a steep decline in raw material prices and a pre-tax, one-time charge of $23 million related to raw material contract obligations and writedowns for slow-moving inventory.
Commenting on the Company’s third quarter performance, Frank Bozich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinseo, said, “Our third quarter results reflect very challenging market conditions in Europe. Historically high energy prices and a declining raw material price environment led to low consumer confidence and significant destocking. Despite this, we were able to generate positive free cash flow during the quarter and I’d like to thank our employees for their efforts in navigating through these challenges.”
Third Quarter Results and Commentary by Business Segment
- Engineered Materials net sales of $243 million for the quarter increased 5% versus prior year. Higher price led to an 8% increase from the passthrough of higher raw material and energy costs while two additional months of results from the Aristech Surfaces acquisition led to an 11% increase. These impacts more than offset a 13% decrease from lower sales volume caused by weaker demand in construction, consumer electronics, wellness and automotive applications. Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million was $25 million below prior year. In addition to lower sales volume, reduced demand led to lower margins due to weak supply / demand dynamics and the inability to fully pass through significantly higher natural gas costs in Europe. North America demand was relatively stable with some weakening observed in construction markets. The integration and synergy realization of the newly acquired businesses remain on track.
- Latex Binders net sales of $341 million for the quarter increased 8% versus prior year as a 19% price increase, from the passthrough of higher raw material costs and pricing actions, more than offset lower volumes, mainly in carpet and construction applications. Adjusted EBITDA of $31 million was $6 million lower than prior year primarily from lower volumes in carpet, turf and construction applications while demand for paper & board applications remained steady. Sales volume to CASE applications, which are mainly tied to building & construction, were down 6% year-to-date as growth in Asia was more than offset by demand weakness in Europe.
- Base Plastics net sales of $293 million for the quarter were 25% lower than prior year primarily from lower volumes as a result of weaker demand for applications supporting building & construction and consumer durables. Adjusted EBITDA of negative $15 million was $103 million below prior year. Customer destocking from declining raw material prices and overall weaker demand led to lower volumes and margins for polycarbonate and ABS products. Minimal improvement was observed in automotive production in Europe and North America as supply chain issues such as chip shortages persisted.
- Polystyrene net sales of $248 million for the quarter were 10% below prior year as higher prices from the passthrough of raw material costs were more than offset by volume declines, particularly in building & construction and appliance applications, and as customers destocked amid falling raw material prices. Adjusted EBITDA of $19 million was $32 million below prior year as weaker demand negatively impacted volumes and margins. An unfavorable net timing variance of $7 million versus prior year also contributed to lower earnings.
- Feedstocks Adjusted EBITDA of negative $78 million was $50 million lower than prior year as high utility costs and weak demand combined to create significant margin contraction. Results were also impacted by a $23 million negative net timing variance versus prior year.
- Americas Styrenics Adjusted EBITDA of $23 million for the quarter was $6 million higher than prior year as stronger margins offset lower volume. Prior year results included an $8 million headwind related to Hurricane Ida impacts.
2022 Full-Year Outlook
- Full-year 2022 net loss from continuing operations of $126 million to $91 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $325 million to $375 million
- Full-year 2022 cash from operations of approximately $150 million resulting in approximately breakeven Free Cash Flow
Commenting on the outlook for the fourth quarter of 2022, Bozich said, “We expect similar market conditions in the fourth quarter with some level of continued customer destocking, but we anticipate significant sequential earnings improvement as a result of idling styrene production in Europe. Also, the combined $47 million of impacts from raw material obligations, inventory writedowns and unfavorable net timing from the third quarter are not expected to reoccur. In addition, we are evaluating asset optimization initiatives, such as the potential closures of the Boehlen, Germany styrene plant and one production line at the Stade, Germany polycarbonate plant, which would be expected to have a positive financial impact in 2023.”
Bozich continued, “The uncertain economic conditions we’re currently observing only underscores the importance of our strategy shift to a specialty material and sustainable solutions provider. We’re making headway on this transformation as evidenced by the growth of our sustainable and material substitution products and we remain on track to achieve the synergies from the PMMA business and Aristech Surfaces acquisitions. Meanwhile, we are evaluating steps to improve our cost position and optimize our global asset footprint to emerge in an even stronger position when market conditions improve. Despite these challenges, we have ample liquidity and we anticipate cash generation to fund the transformation while providing solid shareholder returns.”

Use of non-GAAP measures
In addition to using standard measures of performance and liquidity that are recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use additional measures of income excluding certain GAAP items (“non-GAAP measures”), such as Adjusted Net Income, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and measures of liquidity excluding certain GAAP items, such as Free Cash Flow. We believe these measures are useful for investors and management in evaluating business trends and performance each period. These measures are also used to manage our business and assess current period profitability, as well as to provide an appropriate basis to evaluate the effectiveness of our pricing strategies. Such measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity, as applicable. The definitions of each of these measures, further discussion of usefulness, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are provided in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information presented herein.

Note 2: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Performance Measures to Net Income
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which is defined as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization expense. We refer to EBITDA in making operating decisions because we believe it provides our management as well as our investors with meaningful information regarding the Company’s operational performance. We believe the use of EBITDA as a metric assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measure, which we define as income from continuing operations before interest expense, net; income tax provision; depreciation and amortization expense; loss on extinguishment of long-term debt; asset impairment charges; gains or losses on the dispositions of businesses and assets; restructuring charges; acquisition related costs and benefits, and other items. In doing so, we are providing management, investors, and credit rating agencies with an indicator of our ongoing performance and business trends, removing the impact of transactions and events that we would not consider a part of our core operations.
Lastly, we present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS as additional performance measures. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA (defined beginning with net income from continuing operations, above), less interest expense, less the provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, tax affected for various discrete items, as appropriate. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per weighted average diluted shares outstanding for a given period. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other stakeholders in evaluating and assessing our operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of certain transactions and activities that affect comparability and that are not considered part of our core operations.
There are limitations to using the financial performance measures noted above. These performance measures are not intended to represent net income or other measures of financial performance. As such, they should not be used as alternatives to net income as indicators of operating performance. Other companies in our industry may define these performance measures differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use these or similarly-named financial measures that other companies may use, to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing reconciliations of these performance measures to our net income, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

(a) Acquisition transaction and integration net costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily relate to expenses incurred for the Company’s acquisition and integration of the PMMA business and Aristech Surfaces Acquisitions.
(b) Other items for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily relate to fees incurred in conjunction with certain of the Company’s strategic initiatives, as well as costs related to our transition to a new enterprise resource planning system.
(c) Adjusted to remove the tax impact of the items noted within the table above. The income tax expense (benefit) related to these items was determined utilizing either (1) the estimated annual effective tax rate on our ordinary income based upon our forecasted ordinary income for the full year or, (2) for items treated discretely for tax purposes, we utilized the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which these adjustments occurred.
(d) Amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 exclude accelerated depreciation of $0.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, related to the shortening of the useful life of certain IT assets related to the Company’s transition to a new enterprise resource planning system.
For the same reasons discussed above, we are providing the following reconciliation of forecasted net income (loss) to forecasted Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS for the full year ended December 31, 2022. See “Note on Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of the limitations of these forecasts.

(e) Reconciling items to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) are not typically forecasted by the Company based on their nature as being primarily driven by transactions that are not part of the core operations of the business and, as a result, cannot be estimated without unreasonable cost or uncertainty. As such, for the forecasted full year ended December 31, 2022, we have only included known reconciling items incurred through the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We have not included forecasted amounts for the remainder of 2022.
(f) Weighted average shares presented for the purpose of forecasting EPS and Adjusted EPS assume that the Company will be in a full year 2022 net loss position, and therefore excludes the impact of potentially dilutive shares, as the inclusion of said shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Further, the weighted average shares presented do not forecast significant future share transactions or events, such as repurchases, significant share-based compensation award grants, and changes in the Company’s share price. These are all factors which could have a significant impact on the calculation of EPS and Adjusted EPS during actual future periods.
Note 3: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Liquidity Measures to Cash from Operations
The Company uses certain measures, such as Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures, to evaluate and discuss its liquidity position and results. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures. We believe that Free Cash Flow provides an indicator of the Company’s ongoing ability to generate cash through core operations, as it excludes the cash impacts of various financing transactions as well as cash flows from business combinations that are not considered organic in nature. We also believe that Free Cash Flow provides management and investors with useful analytical indicators of our ability to service our indebtedness, pay dividends (when declared), and meet our ongoing cash obligations.
Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and therefore, should not be used as alternatives for that measure. Other companies in our industry may define Free Cash Flow differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use this or similarly-named financial measures that other companies may use, to compare the liquidity and cash generation of those companies to our own. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing the following detail, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.
