CLMT--
The Specialties business demonstrated strong sales volumes and margin expansion, overcoming a planned turnaround at the Shreveport facility. This segment reported an adjusted EBITDA of $66.8 million, compared to $72.7 million in the same period last year. The Montana/Renewables segment, which focuses on renewable fuels, generated $8.3 million in adjusted EBITDA, marking a substantial improvement over the prior year period.
Calumet's CEO, Todd Borgmann, highlighted the company's progress in achieving its strategic objectives. The Montana Renewables business is on track to achieve 120-150 million gallons of annualized sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production by the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, the company enhanced its capital structure by calling $230 million of 2026 Senior Notes, demonstrating a commitment to financial stability.
However, the company faces challenges in the renewable diesel market and regulatory uncertainties. The MaxSAF 150 project remains on track, with the company optimistic about its future prospects. Despite these challenges, Calumet continues to focus on operational efficiency and strategic initiatives to maintain its competitive edge.
