BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
In the second quarter of 2024, Westlake achieved net sales of $3.2 billion, net income of $313 million and EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $744 million. These results were driven by strong demand for most products in the Company's HIP segment, and higher average sales price in the PEM segment as compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Second quarter HIP sales volume increased 15% from the first quarter of 2024 while PEM sales volume increased 1% quarter-over-quarter. Overall sales volume for the Company increased 6% sequentially from the previous quarter.
HIP's second quarter average sales price was flat compared to the first quarter of 2024 while PEM's average sales price increased 4% quarter-over-quarter. Overall average sales price for the Company increased 2% sequentially from the previous quarter.
HIP's second quarter EBITDA margin increased to 28% from 25% in the first quarter of 2024, while PEM's EBITDA margin increased to 19% from 13% over the same period of time.
EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY
"We are pleased with our financial results for the second quarter of 2024, highlighted by record HIP EBITDA and margins as well as improved pricing and profitability in the PEM segment. Combined, these factors enabled us to deliver year-over-year quarterly earnings growth following the slowdown in global macroeconomic activity that began in the second half of 2022. Our HIP businesses continue to perform exceptionally well due in part to our product portfolio as well as our focus and position in segments of the market that have outperformed the broader industry. While global industrial and manufacturing activity remains sluggish, conditions in our PEM segment have stabilized and we are encouraged by recent trends reflecting improved demand and higher average sales price for most major products, which is driving a recovery in our margins," said Albert Chao, Executive Chairman.
"Looking ahead, conditions in our HIP segment should continue to be supported by favorable structural factors, including the decade-long under-investment in housing that followed the financial crisis, population growth, an aging housing stock and increasing investments in infrastructure driven by the Infrastructure and Jobs Act. While the improvement in global industrial and manufacturing conditions has been modest, we are taking steps to enhance PEM segment profitability, including our recently announced plan to temporarily cease operations at two units within our European epoxy business to align our manufacturing footprint and costs with changing global conditions," continued Mr. Chao.
"Finally, we are excited to welcome Jean-Marc Gilson as President and CEO of Westlake. Jean-Marc brings a wealth of experience to the Company to build upon our solid foundation and lead Westlake for years to come," concluded Mr. Chao.
"After my first few weeks I look forward to helping drive Westlake forward and execute on our strategy while embracing the culture and continuing the focus on creating long-term value for shareholders," said Jean-Marc Gilson, President and Chief Executive Officer.
RESULTS
Consolidated Results
For the second quarter of 2024, the Company reported net income of $313 million, or $2.40 per share, on net sales of $3.2 billion. The year-over-year increase in net income of $16 million was primarily due to higher sales volume and margins in our HIP segment, which were partially offset by lower average sales price and margins in our PEM segment, particularly for caustic soda and PVC resin.
Second quarter 2024 net income of $313 million increased by $139 million as compared to the first quarter of 2024. The sequential increase in net income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to higher sales volume in our HIP segment and higher average sales price in our PEM segment.
EBITDA of $744 million for the second quarter of 2024 increased by $54 million as compared to second quarter 2023 EBITDA of $690 million. Second quarter 2024 EBITDA increased by $198 million as compared to first quarter 2024 EBITDA of $546 million.
A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, income from operations and net cash provided by operating activities can be found in the financial schedules at the end of this press release.
Cash and Debt
Net cash provided by operating activities was $237 million for the second quarter of 2024 and capital expenditures were $231 million. As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $3.0 billion and total debt was $4.9 billion.
Performance and Essential Materials Segment
For the second quarter of 2024, PEM income from operations was $157 million as compared to $215 million in the second quarter of 2023. This year-over-year decrease of $58 million was due to lower average sales price for most of our major products, particularly caustic soda and PVC resin, partially offset by higher production and sales volume across our major products.
Sequentially, PEM income from operations increased by $135 million as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This increase in income from operations versus the prior quarter was primarily driven by higher average sales price, particularly for Performance Materials.
Housing and Infrastructure Products Segment
For the second quarter of 2024, HIP income from operations of $266 million increased by $76 million as compared to the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was the result of higher production and sales volume for all of our major products.
Sequentially, HIP income from operations increased by $56 million as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This increase in income from operations versus the prior quarter was primarily due to higher sales volume as a result of the seasonal increase in demand.
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this release and the related teleconference relating to matters that are not historical facts, including statements regarding our outlook for the performance of our business segments, global macroeconomic conditions, continuing stabilization or increases in sales prices, volumes, margins and profitability in both domestic and export markets for most of our products, industrial, manufacturing, residential construction and infrastructure activity in our target markets, our ability to weather economic volatility, raw material costs, higher energy prices, our market position, our ability to improve reliability and efficiency of our plants, our cost savings initiatives, global demand for our products, the possible effects of the restructuring of our European operations, the possible impact of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act on us, our ability to continue to execute our strategies, and our ability to deliver greater long-term value to our shareholders are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially, based on factors including, but not limited to: general economic and business conditions; the cyclical nature of the chemical and building products industries; the availability, cost and volatility of raw materials and energy; the results of acquisitions and our integration efforts; uncertainties associated with the United States, European and worldwide economies, including those due to political tensions and conflict in the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine and elsewhere; uncertainties associated with pandemic infectious diseases; uncertainties associated with climate change; the potential impact on demand for ethylene, polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride due to initiatives such as recycling and customers seeking alternatives to polymers; current and potential governmental regulatory actions in the United States and other countries; industry production capacity and operating rates; the supply/demand balance for Westlake's products; competitive products and pricing pressures; instability in the credit and financial markets; access to capital markets; terrorist acts; operating interruptions; changes in laws and regulations, including trade policies; technological developments; information systems failures and cyberattacks; foreign currency exchange risks; our ability to implement our business strategies; creditworthiness of our customers; the effect and results of litigation and settlements of litigation; and other risk factors. For more detailed information about the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, please refer to Westlake's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC in February 2024, and Westlake's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC in May 2024.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release makes reference to certain "non-GAAP" financial measures, such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow, as defined in Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For this purpose, a non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that (1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or (2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of (i) EBITDA to net income, income from operations and net cash provided by operating activities, and (ii) free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities can be found in the financial schedules at the end of this press release.

3 Westlake Corporation 2Q 2024 Sales volume grew a solid 12% YoY driven by Pipe & Fittings and Siding & Trim in HIP and chlorovinyls in PEM Average sales price reflected QoQ growth following several quarters of declines, driven by higher PVC resin and polyethylene prices in PEM The recovery in global industrial and manufacturing activity has been slower than in previous cycles, which is impacting PEM sales volume and margins Record HIP EBITDA of $336 million and EBITDA margin of 28%(2) Westlake 2Q 2024 vs. 1Q 2024 Average Sales Price +2.3% Volume +5.5% Westlake 2Q 2024 vs. 2Q 2023 Average Sales Price -13.7% Volume +12.4% 2Q'24 1Q'24 QoQ% 2Q'23 YoY% $3,207 $2,975 8% $3,251 (1%) $406 $223 82% $396 3% Performance and Essential Materials $391 $253 55% $435 (10%) Housing and Infrastructure Products $336 $264 27% $244 38% Corporate $17 $29 - $11 - $744 $546 36% $690 8% Operating Income Sales EBITDA(1) ($ in millions) (1) Reconciliations of EBITDA, Performance and Essential Materials EBITDA, Housing and Infrastructure Products EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA to the applicable GAAP measures can be found on pages 11 and 12 (2) HIP EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing HIP EBITDA by Total HIP Sales

5 Housing and Infrastructure Products Update 2 Repair & remodel activity provided steady growth driven by large number of homes in prime remodel age, healthy home equity levels, homeowners with low-rate mortgages remaining in place, and significant backlog of projects 3 While our order books remain solid, unusually wet and hot weather conditions in many parts of North America combined with the recent slowdown in U.S. housing starts and remodeling activity could have an impact on our sales volume in the second half of 2024 4 The breadth of our footprint and expansive product offerings provide customers the branded products they need to execute their growth plans and provided the product cross-selling and product suite sales opportunities that helped drive our record second quarter operating income 1 Longer-term housing fundamentals remain strong due to decade-plus of under-building, increasingly favorable demographics and increasing popularity of remote work
6 HIP Long-Term Growth Drivers Disciplined Capital Allocation Framework Backed by ROCE-Driven Culture Organic Growth Drivers • Investments in technical capabilities and innovation to solve customer needs • Extensive footprint to serve customers • Robust and integrated supply chain, including sustainable products with recycled content • Growing through partnerships with large homebuilders and distributors • Broad product portfolio with differentiating competitive advantages adding value for customers • Strong alignment with leading customers that drives lasting relationships and fosters cross-selling of products Inorganic Growth Drivers • Track record of accretive acquisitions and successful integrations • Global sales and distribution platform foundation in place • Opportunistic mindset • Fragmented global industries with room for consolidation Maintaining Strong Margins while Growing Organic Revenue Above the Market at ~5%-7% Annually

8 Performance and Essential Materials Update 2 Our North American cost advantage remained strong during the second quarter of 2024 due to both higher global oil prices and lower U.S. natural gas prices 3 ISM readings in the U.S. and Europe trended lower during the second quarter while similar metrics in China reflected a slower rate of growth, which could translate into reduced demand for some of our PEM products in the near-term 4 Long-term growth fundamentals remain in place, supported by the global need for clean water, housing, transportation, renewable energy, packaging and consumer goods 1 The end to last year’s prolonged destocking cycle brought industry-wide supply and demand back into better balance for most of our major products in the second quarter of 2024, driving a QoQ increase in average sales price
