Business Highlights

Revenue Segments: AdvanSix's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was driven by its key product lines: Nylon (23% of total sales), Caprolactam (18%), Plant Nutrients (34%), and Chemical Intermediates (25%). The Plant Nutrients segment saw significant growth, reflecting favorable North American ammonium sulfate supply and demand conditions.

Geographical Performance: The United States accounted for 85% of AdvanSix's total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with international sales making up the remaining 15%. This indicates a strong domestic market presence.

Sales Units: The increase in sales volume by approximately 7% was attributed to improved performance following the prior year's operational disruption at the Frankford manufacturing site and higher ammonium sulfate sales supported by the SUSTAIN program.

Operational Efficiency: The company reported decreased costs of goods sold by approximately 3% due to insurance proceeds from the PES supplier shutdown and improved operational performance, despite increased raw material prices.

Future Outlook: AdvanSix plans to continue leveraging its integrated manufacturing facilities to maintain efficiency and mitigate risks associated with production disruptions. The company also anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $145 million to $155 million in 2025, focusing on reliability, yield, and quality improvements.
