Celanese Q2 2021 Earnings Report
Reported second quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share of $4.81, the second highest in the Company's history, and highest-ever adjusted earnings per share of $5.02.
Key Takeaways
Celanese Corporation reported record net sales of $2.2 billion for the quarter with sequential pricing and volume increases of 18 percent and 4 percent, respectively. The Company reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $4.81 and adjusted earnings per share of $5.02.
Actions over the past year positioned the Company to meet elevated post-pandemic demand in 2021 and to deliver record performance during the second quarter.
Engineered Materials and the Acetyl Chain successfully offset continued raw material inflation to drive consolidated operating profit of $567 million and adjusted EBIT of $691 million.
The recently announced acquisition of Santoprene™ and ongoing capital projects within the Acetyl Chain and Engineered Materials position the Company to further raise its future base earnings and deliver sustained shareholder value.
During the quarter, the Company returned $326 million of cash to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends.
