1<\/sup>On April 4, 2025, the Company closed on a transaction to sell substantially all of the assets of Bristol Metals, LLC (\u201cBRISMET\u201d). On June 30, 2025, the Company closed on a transaction to sell substantially all of the assets of American Stainless Tubing, Inc (“ASTI”). As a result, financial results from BRISMET and ASTI have been categorized into discontinued operations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Management Commentary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur third quarter\u2014and our first full quarter as a pure-play specialty chemicals company\u2014delivered our strongest earnings performance since 2022,\u201d said Bryan Kitchen, President and CEO of Ascent Industries Co. \u201cThat year included both our Chemicals and Tubular segments and benefited from pandemic-era tailwinds. Achieving this level of profitability today, while still absorbing the drag from our Munhall asset, underscores the resilience and earnings power of the platform we are building.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cGross profit nearly doubled year-over-year, and EBITDA margins improved significantly. This performance reflects disciplined sourcing, focused product-line management, and relentless operational rigor that continue to expand gross margin and earnings, even as demand remains muted across many end markets. The improvement is structural, not situational.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nKitchen added, \u201cMomentum is building. Quarter after quarter, we\u2019re proving that our Chemicals-as-a-Service model delivers durable value, even in a sluggish macro backdrop. Our customer-centric approach and agility are resonating, and our growing pipeline of high-quality opportunities reinforces confidence in both our organic growth runway and earnings trajectory ahead.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nNet sales from continuing operations were $19.7 million compared to $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decline was a result of lower volume partially offset by increased average selling prices.\n<\/p>\n

\nGross profit from continuing operations increased 94.2% to $5.8 million, or 29.7% of net sales, compared to $3.0 million, or 14.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by continued cost management, strategic sourcing enhancements and further product line optimization.\n<\/p>\n

\nNet loss from continuing operations decreased to ($0.1) million, or ($0.01) diluted loss per share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of ($7.8) million, or ($0.77) diluted loss per share, in the third quarter of 2024.\n<\/p>\n

\nAdjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, with adjusted EBITDA margin increasing to 7.0% compared to (3.4)% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the aforementioned increase in gross profit partially offset by investments in selling, general and administrative expenses.\n<\/p>\n

Liquidity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nAs of September 30, 2025, the Company had $58.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, no debt outstanding under its revolving credit facilities and had $13.7 million in availability under its revolving credit facility.\n<\/p>\n

\nFor the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 64,782 shares at an average cost of $12.85 per share for approximately $0.8 million.\n<\/p>\n

Forward-Looking Statements<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis press release may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other applicable federal securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements can be identified through the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “should,” “anticipate,” “hope,” “optimistic,” “plan,” “outlook,” “should,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and to review the risks as set forth in more detail in Ascent Industries Co.\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which filings are available from the SEC or on our website. Ascent Industries Co. assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information included in this release.\n<\/p>\n

Non-GAAP Financial Information<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nFinancial statement information included in this earnings release includes non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance. These items include: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, shelf registration costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, retention costs and restructuring and severance costs from net income. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1<\/sup>We define “EBITDA” as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA further adjusted for the impact of non-cash and other items we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance. These items include: goodwill impairment, asset impairment, gain on lease modification, stock-based compensation, non-cash lease cost, acquisition costs and other fees, shelf registration costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, retention costs and restructuring and severance costs from net income. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we consider them to be important supplemental measures of our performance and investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
