Trinseo plc (TSE - Free Report) recently announced that it has inked an agreement to sell its land, buildings and equipment in Matamoros, Mexico, to Plaskolite. The transaction is expected to be concluded within the next several weeks.
The Matamoros facility is located on nearly 11 acres in Matamoros City in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The sale of Matamoros assets to Plaskolite will allow TSE to continue operating and providing jobs for the Matamoros community.
As part of the company's asset restructuring measures, Trinseo announced the consolidation of some of its PMMA sheet products from the Matamoros plant into its continuous sheet manufacturing facilities in Florence, KY, in December 2022. Plaskolite will not acquire any of Trinseo's sheet business.
Shares of TSE are down 53.3% over the past year compared with a 36.2% decline of its industry.
On its fourth-quarter earnings call, the company stated that it expects net income from continuing operations of $3 million to $33 million for 2023, with Adjusted EBITDA of $375 million to $425 million.
It also noted that the capital spending of roughly $100 million for 2023 indicates a pause in the legacy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) upgrade and includes funding for growth and productivity initiatives. The company expects underlying demand to remain challenging in 2023, but is increasingly convinced that destocking will cease early this year. TSE estimates that sales volumes in first-quarter 2023 will be seasonally higher than in the fourth quarter of 2022, with ongoing improvement throughout the year as demand in China improves and energy prices in Europe moderate, limiting large import prospects from Asia.
