Forward Guidance
Ecovyst provided full year 2024 guidance, anticipating solid performance in regeneration services offset by timing-related factors for hydrocracking catalysts and cautiousness regarding economic conditions moderating demand recovery.
Positive Outlook
- Sales of $715 million to $755 million
- Sales of $145 million to $165 million for proportionate 50% share of Zeolyst Joint Venture
- Adjusted EBITDA of $255 million to $275 million
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $85 million to $105 million
- Ecovyst is firmly committed to executing the strategy that we presented at our November 2023 investor day that we believe will deliver long-term value for our shareholders.
Challenges Ahead
- We believe that our regeneration services business will experience another solid year in 2024, which will be somewhat offset by a timing related off-cycle year for hydrocracking catalysts.
- We are also cautious about the continuing uncertain economic conditions moderating demand recovery for virgin sulfuric acid and polyethylene catalysts.
