Business Wire
LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Results and Recent Highlights
Net sales of $169.5 million compared to $143.4 million in the first quarter of 2025
Net income of $19.7 million compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2025
Diluted EPS of $0.27 compared to $(0.02) for the first quarter of 2025
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $52.1 million compared to $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2025
Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $181.7 million and total debt of $441.2 million as of March 31, 2026
“I am pleased with our first quarter results, as they are in-line with our overall expectations. Our results reflect the impact of the operational discipline we have been building and executing over the past several years. Our progress is increasingly evident over the past two quarters, driving improved operating and financial performance,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB Industries' Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “The evolving geopolitical landscape, including the conflict in the Middle East and associated disruption of production facilities and important trade channels, is significantly impacting the global availability of nitrogen fertilizers. Importantly, our improved operating performance is enabling us to maximize fertilizer production and support US farmers with additional supply in this difficult time. We are encouraged by our continued execution across the business and believe it positions us to continue supporting our customers and deliver sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”

Market Outlook
Industrial business is strong with positive market conditions:
Supply of Ammonium Nitrate (AN) for explosives in mining and quarrying/aggregate production is constrained in North America due in part to producer outages. Demand for AN across all commodities remains strong, particularly with copper and gold miners maximizing production to take advantage of strong supply and demand fundamentals in their markets, leading to tight market conditions and higher AN selling prices.
Demand for nitric acid is robust domestically, where it is supported by tariffs and countervailing duties on imports of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). The duties were finalized on April 8, 2026, for a period of five years.
Fertilizer markets are tight due to the conflicts in the Middle East and pricing remains strong:
Ammonia prices currently reflect:
Significantly reduced ammonia supplies due to ammonia vessels unable to transit through the Strait of Hormuz
Higher costs of production in Europe
Ongoing curtailment of ammonia production in Trinidad and new production outages in Australia
Increased import demand in India to offset reduced supply of LNG
Potential export controls in China
Gas supply disruptions in North Africa reducing ammonia production, and
Slow ramp up in new US production capacity, which is constraining global supply availability
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) prices recently improved, reflecting:
Increased demand ahead of the Spring fertilizer application season
Continued lower-than-expected working inventory through the supply chain
Like ammonia, significantly reduced urea supplies due to vessels unable to transit through the Strait of Hormuz leading to a strengthening in urea prices and higher UAN demand as customers switch from urea to UAN
Strong import demand for Urea in India and increased government subsidies to support purchases
Other notable developments include:
Increasing and frequent drone attacks on Russian nitrogen plants and ports
Russian export ban on AN for one month, with potential extension
Limited Urea exports from China as they appear to continue to prioritize domestic supply
Corn market dynamics support fertilizer demand:
Demand is keeping stocks-to-use near historical levels (ending projections for 2025/26 crop year in USDA’s April WASDE is 12.9% versus long-term average of ~13%)
USDA projecting 95+ million planted acres for corn for the 2026/27 crop season and we anticipate robust nitrogen demand through the full fertilizer application season
Low Carbon Ammonia Project Summary
El Dorado Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Project with Lapis Carbon Solutions
Expect to capture and sequester between 400,000 and 500,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, which would reduce our Scope 1 emissions by approximately 25%, yielding between 305,000 and 380,000 metric tons per year of low carbon ammonia
Completed stratigraphic well in June 2025 to provide data to support EPA in review of Class VI application
Lapis Carbon Solutions resubmitted the pre-construction Class VI permit application to the EPA in December 2025. Once the project receives EPA approval, we intend to use the completed stratigraphic well for CO2 injections
Expect to begin operations in Q4 ‘26/Q1 ‘27

Comparison of First Quarter of 2026 to 2025:
Higher selling prices combined with increased AN and Nitric Acid volumes resulted in higher net sales for the period compared to the previous year. Tight market conditions shifted some production toward AN, resulting in lower UAN sales volumes. In addition, ammonia sales were impacted slightly as we built inventory in preparation for the scheduled turnaround at our El Dorado facility in the second quarter.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense and interest income, net, less gain on extinguishment of debt, plus depreciation and amortization (D&A) (which includes D&A of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible and other assets), plus provision (benefit) for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is reported to show the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, one time/non-cash or non-operating items-such as, one-time income or fees, loss (gain) on sale of a business and/or other property and equipment, certain fair market value (FMV) adjustments, and consulting costs associated with reliability and purchasing initiatives (Initiatives). We historically have performed turnaround activities on an annual basis; however, we have moved towards extending turnarounds to a two or three-year cycle. Rather than being capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit, our accounting policy is to recognize the costs as incurred. Given these turnarounds are essentially investments that provide benefits over multiple years, they are not reflective of our operating performance in a given year.
We believe that certain investors consider EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. In addition, we believe that certain investors consider adjusted EBITDA as more meaningful to further assess our performance. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain items.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated.

Total Recordable Injury Rate of 0.40 (“TRIR”) for the full year 2025(2)
“I am proud of the progress that the team made across our business in 2025. We continued to improve our overall safety performance by achieving a 12-month rolling total reportable incident rate (TRIR) of 0.40 incidents per 200,000 work hours as of December 31, 2025, a record low. We also saw three of our four sites operate injury free for the full year. We delivered significant year-over-year growth in net sales, adjusted EBITDA and EPS in both the fourth quarter and full-year 2025,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB Industries' Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “Our focused efforts to improve our production performance, combined with disciplined commercial execution, supported our strong financial results and reinforced our ability to convert market conditions into enhanced profitability. The operational progress we achieved during the year enabled us to fully capitalize on favorable pricing momentum across our key products.”
“As we look at the year ahead, we expect to build on the strong operational execution that delivered record nitric acid and ammonium nitrate solution production in 2025. These records reflect the progress we’ve made in plant reliability, throughput, and operational efficiency, which are being driven by operational discipline, process enhancements, and consistent execution, as well as the investment of capital. We are excited about the year ahead and our expectations for generating increased value for shareholders. I am confident in our team’s ability to deliver on our goals for the year.”

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Combined TRIR includes both employees and contractors.
Market Outlook
Industrial business remains consistent:
Demand for Ammonium Nitrate (AN) for explosives in mining is strong across all commodities, particularly with copper and gold miners as they maximize production to take advantage of record prices
AN demand for explosives for quarrying/aggregate production for infrastructure upgrade and expansion remains steady
Demand for coal production increased slightly as the U.S. sought to generate more power from coal, supporting demand for AN
Robust demand for domestic nitric acid, supported by tariffs and preliminary anti-dumping duties on imports of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI)
Agricultural markets are healthy and pricing remains strong:
Ammonia prices currently reflect:
reduced ammonia supply from the Middle East and Trinidad
higher costs of production in Europe and
delays in new production capacity, which are constraining global supply availability
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) prices recently improved, reflecting:
continued low levels of domestic inventory
constrained supply and a strengthening in Urea prices
Corn market dynamics support fertilizer demand:
Although 2025’s record crop exceeded the previous 2023 high, demand is keeping stocks-to-use only modestly above historical levels
The USDA recently projected 94 million planted acres for corn for the 2027 season and we anticipate nitrogen demand to track closely with recent years
Low Carbon Ammonia Projects Summary
El Dorado Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Project with Lapis Carbon Solutions
Expect to capture and sequester between 400,000 and 500,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, which would reduce our Scope 1 emissions by approximately 25%, yielding between 305,000 and 380,000 metric tons per year of low carbon ammonia
Completed stratigraphic well in June to provide data to support EPA in review of Class VI application
Lapis Carbon Solutions resubmitted the pre-construction Class VI permit application to the EPA in December 2025. Once the project receives EPA approval, which is expected in Q4 2026, we intend to use the completed stratigraphic well for CO2 injections
Expect to begin operations by the end of 2026

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this release that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: our business strategy; anticipated future operating results and operating expenses, cash flows, capital resources and liquidity; trends, opportunities and risks affecting our business, industry and financial results; our ability to successfully leverage our existing business platform and portfolio of assets to produce low carbon products; the impact of trade policy on our business; the availability of raw materials; production volumes at our production facilities; and the anticipated cost and timing of our capital projects, including turnarounds. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “would,” and similar words or phrases, as well as by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or actual achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or anticipated achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Significant risks and uncertainties relate to, but are not limited to, business and market disruptions; market conditions and price volatility for our products and feedstocks; global and regional economic downturns that adversely affect the demand for our end-use products; disruptions in production at our manufacturing facilities; increased competitive pressures; our ability to fund the working capital and expansion of our businesses; recruiting and retaining skilled and qualified personnel; our ability to obtain necessary raw materials and purchased components; material increases in cost of raw materials; obtaining and maintaining necessary permits; and other financial, economic, competitive, environmental, political, legal and regulatory factors, including tariffs. These and other risk factors are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information or future developments.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release and on the related teleconference call.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to review and assess the performance of our core business operations and for planning purposes. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense and interest income, net, less gain on extinguishment of debt, plus depreciation and amortization (D&A) (which includes D&A of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible and other assets), plus provision (benefit) for income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is reported to show the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation, one time/non-cash or non-operating items-such as, one-time income or fees, loss (gain) on sale of a business and/or other property and equipment, certain fair market value (FMV) adjustments, and consulting costs associated with reliability and purchasing initiatives (Initiatives). We historically have performed turnaround activities on an annual basis; however, we have moved towards extending turnarounds to a two or three-year cycle. Rather than being capitalized and amortized over the period of benefit, our accounting policy is to recognize the costs as incurred. Given these turnarounds are essentially investments that provide benefits over multiple years, they are not reflective of our operating performance in a given year.
We believe that certain investors consider EBITDA a useful means of measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and evaluating our financial performance. In addition, we believe that certain investors consider adjusted EBITDA as more meaningful to further assess our performance. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain items.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated.
