“In the third quarter, AdvanSix navigated continued challenging market conditions in Nylon Solutions while executing its larger planned multi-plant turnaround for the year,” said Erin Kane, president and CEO of AdvanSix. “These factors overshadowed resilient performance within our acetone portfolio and solid results from our plant nutrients business in the seasonally slowest quarter of the year and amid lower nitrogen nutrient values and raw material input costs. The nylon environment has been pressured by unfavorable global industry supply and demand conditions for several quarters and has approached trough industry spreads. We have a demonstrated playbook to navigate these dynamics, while maintaining our focus on smart, disciplined investments, and the healthy balance sheet we have established supports our ability to weather this environment as reflected in our ongoing repurchases and an increased dividend.”

Sales of $323 million in the quarter decreased approximately 33% versus the prior year. Market-based pricing was unfavorable by 24% compared to the prior year primarily reflecting reduced ammonium sulfate pricing amid lower raw material input costs and a more stable global nitrogen supply environment, as well as lower nylon pricing due to unfavorable supply and demand conditions. Raw material pass-through pricing was unfavorable by 8% as a result of a net cost decrease in benzene and propylene (inputs to cumene which is a key feedstock to our products). Sales volume decreased approximately 1%.

Adjusted EBITDA of $7.3 million in the quarter decreased $26.0 million versus the prior year primarily due to unfavorable market-based pricing, net of raw material costs, and the net impact of lower sales volume and changes in sales mix including higher nylon export volume, partially offset by the favorable year-over-year impact of planned plant turnarounds.
Adjusted earnings per share of ($0.36) decreased $0.79 versus the prior year driven primarily by the factors discussed above.
Cash flow from operations of $20.8 million in the quarter decreased $38.1 million versus the prior year primarily due to lower net income and the unfavorable impact of changes in working capital. Capital expenditures of $25.1 million in the quarter increased $2.9 million versus the prior year.
Third Quarter 2023 Transactions
- Exit of alliance with Oben Group: $11.4 million pre-tax gain recorded in 3Q23 which represents our estimate of the value of the termination fee payable by Oben, a third-party producer of films for the flexible packaging industry, to AdvanSix in exchange for full transition of AdvanSix's share of the alliance based upon a formula that takes into account a combination of historical and future performance. Approximately 60% of the termination fee is subject to change as it is based on an estimate of future performance. This fee is payable in three installments, with the first installment of $4.4 million received in 4Q 2023. Subsequent installments are expected to be paid in 3Q 2024 and 3Q 2025.
- Licensee exit of legacy technology: $4.5 million unfavorable impact to pre-tax income in 3Q23 as a result of a non-cash write-down of the assets associated with a licensee of certain legacy ammonium sulfate fertilizer technology operated at the licensee's fertilizer manufacturing facility. The licensee announced its intent to close its facility no later than August 31, 2024.
- Exit of certain low-margin oximes products: $2.4 million unfavorable impact to pre-tax income in 3Q23 as a result of a non-cash write-down of the assets associated with the ceasing of production of certain low-margin oximes products, namely AAO and MEKO. Expect a net neutral impact to 2024 earnings as a result of this exit.
Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on November 28, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2023.
Outlook
- Expect nylon industry margins to remain at prior trough levels through year-end due to unfavorable supply and demand conditions; Anticipate continued higher Nylon Solutions exports in near-term
- Expect favorable underlying agriculture industry fundamentals to continue
- Expect balanced supply and demand conditions for North American acetone to continue
- Capital Expenditures tracking to approximately $115 million for the full year 2023, reflecting increased spend due to critical infrastructure, other maintenance, and growth and cost savings projects
"To drive long-term, sustainable performance, we are focusing our resources and efforts around higher value components of our portfolio. Simplification reduces complexity to ensure our investments and resources are aligned with supporting our customers' success in areas of highest impact. Of note, we are accelerating profitable growth through our SUSTAIN program's planned expansion in granular ammonium sulfate production. We're committed to driving best possible outcomes in the current set of industry dynamics and executing levers in our control, including remaining disciplined on cost and optimizing working capital to create shareholder value,” concluded Kane.
