Forward Guidance
In the third quarter, Celanese expects adjusted earnings of $4.00 to $4.50 per share, with performance at the bottom end of the range reflective of the potential for additional modest demand softening as we progress through the quarter. Short of a sharp deterioration in demand, which we do not currently foresee, we expect to deliver 2022 adjusted earnings per share approximately in line with our 2021 adjusted earnings per share performance.
