Celanese Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CE#NYSE">CE</a>) shares are tumbling on Tuesday after the company reported worse-than-expected third-quarter financial results and announced it intends to temporarily reduce its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41728472">quarterly dividend</a>.
What Happened: Celanese reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.44, missing analyst estimates of $2.85. The company reported sales of $2.65 billion, missing analyst estimates of $2.7 billion, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Celanese reported adjusted EBIT of $457 million, operating EBITDA of $644 million and operating profit of $248 million.
The company stated in its earnings release that it has implemented multiple measures to address challenges in the demand environment. Notably, it plans to reduce its quarterly dividend by approximately 95%, starting in the first quarter of 2025.
&#8220;In the third quarter, we faced a severely constrained demand environment that, in some cases like auto, degraded swiftly. I want to thank our teams for executing our value enhancing initiatives that are delivering improvements today while also laying the foundation for future growth,&#8221; said Lori Ryerkerk, chair and CEO of Celanese.
&#8220;Still, these actions have been increasingly offset in the current environment and the earnings generated fell short of our expectations. In response we are taking additional measures to navigate current challenges while positioning Celanese for long-term success. We are confident these actions will accelerate our growth and enhance long-term value.&#8221;

Celanese said it reduced its manufacturing costs by temporarily halting production at select facilities worldwide. The company anticipates a $200 million boost in cash flow from inventory reductions in the fourth quarter. Celanese noted that it&#8217;s targeting over $75 million in savings by the end of 2025.
Following the company&#8217;s earnings report, Wells Fargo analyst Michael Sison downgraded Celanese from an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">Overweight rating</a> to an Equal-Weight rating and lowered the price target from $165 to $115. Mizuho analyst Kieran De Brun maintained a Neutral rating and lowered the price target from $132 to $120.
CE Price Action: At the time of publication, Celanese shares are down 24.7%, trading at $93.15, according to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Why Palantir Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 13%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Celanese will continue to take actions commensurate with the current demand environment. To this end, the Company intends to temporarily reduce the quarterly dividend by approximately 95 percent beginning in the first quarter of 2025. This action is a prudent and cost-effective path forward to support deleveraging. In addition, Celanese is taking the following actions to drive continued improvement to earnings and cash generation:
<ul>
<li>Reducing manufacturing costs through the end of 2024 by temporarily idling production facilities in every region and driving cash generation through an expected $200 million inventory release in the fourth quarter.</li>
<li>Implementing additional cost reduction programs expected to realize incremental savings greater than $75 million by the end of 2025. The focus of the programs will be on driving productivity in selling, general, and administrative (SG&amp;A) costs.</li>
<li>Continuing to focus on efficiently and stringently deploying capital, and targeting next year's capex spending to be below 2024 levels.</li>
<li>Closing on a 364-day delayed draw prepayable term loan for up to $1 billion. The Company expects to draw on the term loan in the first quarter of 2025 for use towards the $1.3 billion maturing debt.</li>
</ul>

Guidance

Celanese Reducing Manufacturing Costs Through The End Of 2024 By Temporarily Idling Production Facilities In Every Region And Driving Cash Generation Through An Expected $200M Inventory Release In Q4. Implementing Additional Cost Reduction Programs Expected To Realize Incremental Savings Greater Than $75M By The End Of 2025.

Outlook
"We expect demand conditions to worsen in the fourth quarter, as automotive and industrial segments react to recent dynamics by seasonally destocking at heavier than normal levels. While we expect this destocking to be temporary and contained to the quarter, we will significantly slow our production to match this demand level and to generate cash through inventory draw. Based on these factors, we anticipate fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share of approximately $1.25," said Lori Ryerkerk. "We hold ourselves to a high standard at Celanese, and are taking additional actions to strengthen our company. Our focus is on driving business improvement through earnings growth, cost reductions, free cash flow expansion, and deleveraging to position Celanese for long-term shareholder value creation."
Reconciliations of forecasted non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBIT or free cash flow to the equivalent U.S. GAAP measures (diluted earnings per share, net earnings (loss) attributable to Celanese Corporation and net cash provided by (used in) operations, respectively), are not available without unreasonable efforts because a forecast of Certain Items, such as mark-to-market pension gains/losses, and other items is not practical. For more information, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
The Company's prepared remarks related to the third quarter will be posted on its website at investors.celanese.com under Financial Information/Financial Document Library on November 4, 2024. Information about Non-US GAAP measures is included in a Non-US GAAP Financial Measures and Supplemental Information document posted on our investor relations website under Financial Information/Non-GAAP Financial Measures. See also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 company that employs approximately 12,400 employees worldwide with 2023 net sales of $10.9 billion.

Celanese Says "We Expect Demand Conditions To Worsen In Q4, As Automotive And Industrial Segments React To Recent Dynamics By Seasonally Destocking At Heavier Than Normal Levels. While We Expect This Destocking To Be Temporary And Contained To The Quarter, We Will Significantly Slow Our Production To Match This Demand Level And To Generate Cash Through Inventory Draw. Based On These Factors, We Anticipate Q4 Adj EPS Of ~$1.25"
