Eastman Chemical publishes 2025 annual report, outlines 2026 cost-cut plan

Eastman Chemical annual report for fiscal 2025 flagged persistent demand weakness across global markets, led by consumer discretionary softness, Fibers tow destocking, and competitive pressure in Chemical Intermediates.
Management highlighted best-ever safety performance across key metrics, citing broad site-level progress and improved operating discipline.
Operating cash flow reached USD 970 million, supported by tighter working-capital management and inventory actions despite a temporary USD 100 million asset-utilization headwind.
Cost actions delivered about USD 100 million of reductions, beating initial plan while protecting margins amid inflation and energy volatility.
2026 plan targets similar operating cash flow, USD 125 million to USD 150 million of additional cost reductions, and about USD 400 million of capital spending with no new growth capital projects expected to start.
