Question
Abigail Eberts asked about the competitive pressures in China for the Advanced Polymer Technologies (APT) segment and whether the company could recoup pricing. She also questioned if raw material sourcing for other segments was as insulated from tariffs as Performance Chemicals.
Answer
CEO David Li acknowledged the competitive environment in China but expressed confidence in the company's differentiated technology and the new leadership in the APT segment. He also confirmed that, from a supply chain perspective, all business segments have minimal exposure to tariffs due to established local-for-local sourcing strategies, resulting in no major concerns.
