Key Factors to Consider

Strong end-market demand, benefits from commercial excellence actions, and contributions from recently acquired businesses might get reflected in Trinseo’ first-quarter 2022 results. The conflict in the Ukraine led to a spike in natural gas prices. Also, freight, labor, and raw material costs remained elevated through the first quarter. Nevertheless, the company’s pricing actions implemented to offset these higher costs may have negated some of the impact.

The Engineered Materials segment’s first-quarter results are expected to reflect the net sales contribution from the recently acquired PMMA and Aristech Surfaces businesses and higher prices. Elevated natural gas costs, raw material and freight costs may have weighed on margins in the quarter to be reported.

The Latex Binders segment’s sales are likely to reflect higher prices and volumes on strong demand in construction applications and new business wins. However, higher freight costs might have impacted margins. The Base Plastics segment’s net sales are likely to reflect higher prices. However, lower volumes due to the ongoing supply chain disruptions, including chip shortages, might have impacted volumes in the first quarter.

Polystyrene segment’s sales are likely to reflect gains from commercial excellence actions and higher prices. Supply chain disruptions might have impacted volumes. Higher utility costs due to increase in natural gas prices might have weighed on Feedstocks’s performance in the quarter to be reported.

Price Performance

Trinseo’s shares have fallen 24.5% in the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 41.8%.
