Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31view filing on EDGAR →

Impairment charges have accelerated sharply — from $837M to $1,182M plus a new $126M facility closure charge — signaling deteriorating asset values across the portfolio while management simultaneously defers capital projects to preserve liquidity. A committed divestiture of European olefins/polyolefins assets adds meaningful execution risk, and a widening pension deficit, escalated Kansas litigation, and a new EU carbon border adjustment exposure compound the pressure. The sole offset — collapse of the UN plastics treaty — is modest relative to the breadth of worsening across five distinct themes.
