Q3 2025 earnings summary
1 Nov, 2025Executive summary
Achieved adjusted EBITDA of $191 million and adjusted net income of $0.06 per share in Q3 2025, with higher EBITDA versus Q2 due to increased sales of produced product, despite a lower average realized price.
Net loss attributable to shareholders was $7 million, with adjusted net income of $5 million.
Integration of newly acquired Beaumont and Natgasoline assets is underway, with both plants operating at high rates and contributing significantly to production.
Production increased to 2,212,000 tonnes in Q3 2025 from 1,621,000 tonnes in Q2 2025, driven by new assets and higher output from Geismar, Medicine Hat, and New Zealand.
Global methanol demand was flat quarter-over-quarter, with high operating rates in China and increased supply from Iran leading to inventory builds in coastal China.
Financial highlights
Q3 average realized price was $345 per ton, down from $374 in Q2 2025; produced methanol sales reached approximately 1.9 million tons.
Revenue for Q3 2025 was $927 million, up from $797 million in Q2 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA increased from Q2 2025, primarily due to higher sales volumes.
Ended Q3 with $413 million in cash on the balance sheet after repaying $125 million of the Term Loan A facility; maintained access to a $600 million revolving credit facility.
Cash from operations totaled $184 million.
Outlook and guidance
Forecasts Q4 average realized price between $335 and $345 per ton based on posted prices in key regions.
Expects meaningfully higher adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2025 as sales align with run-rate equity production, including new assets.
2025 equity production guidance is approximately 8 million tons (7.8 million methanol, 0.2 million ammonia), with actuals subject to operational factors.
No significant growth capital anticipated over the next few years; focus remains on deleveraging and financial flexibility.
