What were Eastman Chemical's second-quarter sales revenue and adjusted earnings per share, and how did they compare year-over-year?

Eastman Chemical's second-quarter sales revenue increased 10% year over year to $2.51 billion, while adjusted earnings per share rose 23.1% year over year to $1.97 — beating analysts’ consensus estimate by 8.2%, as reported by S&P Capital IQ.

How did pricing, volume/mix, and the Middle East conflict impact Eastman's second-quarter performance?

The sales increase was driven by 5% higher sales volume/mix and 4% higher selling prices; sequentially, sales rose 15% due to strong volume growth and disciplined price-cost management in specialty businesses; however, the ongoing Middle East conflict raised raw material and distribution costs in specialty businesses and tightened Chemical Intermediates markets.
