Element Solutions Inc (ESI - Free Report) recently provided an updated financial guidance and free cash flow view.
The company stated that the recovery across its end markets mostly affected by the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated. In its high-end electronics business, it is witnessing consistent robust demand. Also, the better-than-expected momentum in the automotive industry as well as continued resilience in the electronics market is expected to continue.
Per management, the overall benefits of this market strengthening have been boosted by its execution of commercial and cost initiatives. As such, the company increased its third-quarter adjusted EBITDA view to at least $95 million compared with its prior estimate of $80 million.
Further, the company expects its key end-markets to remain comparatively healthy in the fourth quarter on the basis of current trends. It expects adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 2020 to be more than $185 million. The company has also raised its free cash flow outlook for 2020 to $200 million from $185 million.
Shares of Element Solutions have moved up 9.3% in the past year against the industry’s 8.9% decline.
