**【CEO Commentary】**
- **Trade Flow Dynamics**: Noted a sharp increase in Asian polymer imports to the U.S. and Europe starting Q1 2025, driven by tariff uncertainties. Imports from South Korea and Taiwan into the U.S. rose 23%, while Mexican imports increased 75% due to USMCA loopholes.
- **Formulated Product Growth**: Observed a 10%+ YoY increase in formulated PMMA volumes late Q3, continuing into Q4, attributed to reshoring efforts to mitigate Asian supply chain risks.
- **Sustainability Initiatives**: Highlighted EU vehicle end-of-life directive mandating 20% recycled plastics by 2030. Recycled content sales grew 2% YTD, with Engineered Materials up 12%. Pilot plants for recycled polycarbonate, ABS, and MMA are sold out.
- **Capacity Rationalization**: Announced shutdown of Virgin MMA production in Italy and polystyrene in Germany, expecting $30M EBITDA improvement in 2026 and cash savings exceeding restructuring costs.

**【CFO Commentary】**
- **Q3 Financials**: Adjusted EBITDA of $30M (down $9M from raw material timing). Free cash flow negative $38M, but Q4 expected to be positive $20M with year-end liquidity >$350M.
- **Segment Performance**: 
  - **Engineered Materials**: Flat EBITDA due to cost improvements offset by lower medical volumes.
  - **Latex Binders**: $9M EBITDA decline from European/E Asian pricing pressure.
  - **CASE & Battery Binders**: Battery binder volumes up 27% YOY, with wins in anode binder applications.
  - **Polymer Solutions**: $19M EBITDA decline from raw material timing and ABS volume/mix issues.
- **AmSty Impact**: $8M EBITDA hit in Q3 from unplanned outage repair costs and higher styrene purchases.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Trade Flow Structural vs. Transitory**: CEO acknowledged uncertainty but pointed to higher-cost Asian assets redirecting surplus capacity to Europe/U.S. as a structural shift. Noted administration efforts to close USMCA loopholes.
- **AmSty Outlook**: CFO stated styrene units are competitive on cost curve, no capacity rationalization needed. Q3 impact from outage resolved, no further issues expected.
- **2026 Outlook**: CEO emphasized focus on free cash flow improvement through inventory management and restructuring. Refrained from providing guidance but highlighted 2025 underperformance due to AmSty normalization and volume shortfall from tariff uncertainty.
