Earnings Performance

In Q2 2025, Celanese reported U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.90 and adjusted earnings per share of $1.44. The difference arose from a tax benefit of $77 million offset by certain items totaling $42 million.

Sales Growth

Net sales grew by 6% to $2.5 billion, driven by a 4% increase in volume and a 3% boost from currency effects, partially offset by a slight decrease in prices.

Profitability Metrics

Strategic Financial Actions

Celanese advanced its financial strategy by fully repaying the $200 million delayed draw term loan and an additional $150 million of the senior unsecured loan. The company also secured a new $1.75 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, enhancing its liquidity through 2030.

Cash Flow and Debt Management

The second quarter free cash flow was $311 million, supported by $410 million in operating cash flow. These measures have enabled Celanese to deleverage its balance sheet and maintain a strong liquidity position.
