Laurent Alexander's questions to Ecovyst (ECVT) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Laurent Alexander of Kayser asked for more detail on order timing shifts and their implications for 2026, and questioned if shifts in polyethylene capacity from Europe to Asia would change revenue per ton.
Answer
CFO Mike Feehan clarified that order timing shifts were contained within 2025 and would not materially impact 2026. CEO Kurt Bitting explained that Ecovyst's polyethylene catalyst growth is tied to new projects in North America and the Middle East, not Europe or Asia, and that there is no significant difference in revenue per ton, with growth being driven by volume.
