What caused AdvanSix's swing from net income to net loss in H1 2026?

AdvanSix swung to a net loss of $(12,298) thousand in H1 2026 — down from net income of $54,715 thousand in the prior year — primarily due to a 17.0% increase in cost of goods sold, driven by higher raw material prices for benzene, sulfur, and propylene; increased plant and utility costs; winter-storm expenses; and the absence of $26 million in insurance proceeds that had been received in the prior year.

How did AdvanSix's gross margin and operating cash flow perform in H1 2026 compared to the prior year?

AdvanSix's gross margin compressed sharply to 4.2% in H1 2026 from 14.2% in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA declined substantially, with operating cash flow turning negative.
