Cash Flow & Inventory Management

Eastman Chemical Co delivered strong operating cash flow of $402 million in Q3 2025, matching the prior-year quarter, and reported a significant inventory reduction of around $200 million from Q2 2025. This focus on cash generation and inventory management is key in today's weakening economic conditions.

Revenue & Earnings Performance

During Q3 2025, sales revenue declined to $2,202 million—an 11% drop from Q3 2024—while EBIT fell from $329 million to $188 million, and adjusted EBIT decreased from $366 million to $210 million. The earnings per diluted share dropped notably, reflecting the impact of lower sales volumes/mix and pricing challenges faced within various segments.

Cost Reduction & Outlook

Eastman Chemical Co continues its cost-cutting measures with plans to reduce its cost structure by over $75 million, net of inflation, in 2025 and approximately $100 million in 2026. With ongoing commercial excellence and strategic initiatives—including securing new contracts for its circular economy platform—the company is positioning itself for a potential recovery as market conditions stabilize.
