Methanex Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Except where otherwise noted, all currency amounts are stated in United States dollars.

Financial and Production Highlights

Delivered first full quarter of safe, reliable operations at newly acquired Beaumont and Natgasoline plants, producing 239,000 tonnes and 222,000 tonnes (Methanex share) of methanol respectively. Beaumont also produced 88,000 tonnes of ammonia in the third quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA of $191 million, Adjusted net income of $5 million, and net loss attributable to Methanex shareholders of $7 million in the third quarter. Our average realized price in the third quarter was $345 per tonne compared to $374 per tonne in the second quarter of 2025.

Production in the third quarter was 2,212,000 tonnes compared to 1,621,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2025 due to the addition of production from Beaumont and Natgasoline combined with higher production from Geismar, Medicine Hat, and New Zealand. Higher production from the third quarter is expected to result in higher sales of produced product in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Chile I operated at full rates throughout the Southern Hemisphere winter months marking the first time the plant has done so in over ten years. Chile IV successfully completed a planned turnaround and returned to operations at the start of October with increased gas availability from Argentina.

Generated $184 million in cash from operations and repaid $125 million of our Term Loan A in line with our goal to de-lever the balance sheet.

In the third quarter, $14.3 million was returned to shareholders through regular dividends. We ended the third quarter with $413 million in cash.

1 Methanex-produced methanol represents our equity share of methanol volume produced at our facilities and excludes volume marketed on a commission basis related to the 36.9% of the Atlas facility and 50% of the Egypt facility that we do not own.

2 Methanex average non-discounted posted price represents the average of our non-discounted posted prices in North America, Europe, China and Asia Pacific weighted by total methanol sales volume. Current and historical pricing information is available at www.methanex.com.

3 The Company has used Average realized price ("ARP") throughout this document. ARP is calculated as methanol revenue divided by the total methanol sales volume. It is used by management to assess the realized price per unit of methanol sold, and is relevant in a cyclical commodity environment where revenue can fluctuate in response to market prices.

4 Note that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to the Additional Information -Non-GAAP Measures section on page 16 of our third quarter MD&A dated October 29, 2025 for a description of each non-GAAP measure.
