The standout driver of the quarter was a dramatic swing in free cash flow to $311 million, up sharply from negative $73 million in Q1, fueled by sequential earnings recovery and inventory reduction in the Engineered Materials segment. Management deployed that cash decisively, fully repaying a $200 million term loan and retiring an additional $150 million in debt, while also securing a new $1.75 billion revolving credit facility extending liquidity through 2030. Despite the sequential improvement, shares fell sharply following results as investors focused on a weakening order book, particularly in Europe and China. Looking ahead, Celanese guided Q3 adjusted EPS to a range of $1.10 to $1.40, with full-year free cash flow guidance reiterated at $700 million to $800 million.
