______________________________

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Identified Items include a $67 million charge to settle certain litigation involving direct purchasers of PVC pipe and fittings and $18 million of charges related to previously announced facility shutdowns. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, Identified Items include $495 million of PEM shutdown charges and $16 million for HIP restructuring charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Identified Items represent $7 million of charges related to previously announced facility shutdowns.

(2)Excludes Identified Items.

**<u>BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS</u>**

In the first quarter of 2026, Westlake reported net sales of $2.7 billion, a net loss of $169 million, or $1.31 per share, and EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $150 million. Earnings in the first quarter were impacted by the previously announced $67 million settlement of certain litigation involving direct purchasers of PVC pipe and fittings in the United States and $18 million of charges related to previously announced facility shutdowns, including epoxy, North American chlorovinyls and styrene, and cost saving actions for a combined $85 million impact (the "Identified Items"). Excluding the effects of the Identified Items, the net loss in the first quarter of 2026 was $100 million, or $0.77 per share, and EBITDA was $235 million.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, Westlake's first quarter of 2026 sales volume increased 6% (excluding sales attributable to plant closures and acquisitions) while average sales price increased 1%. Housing and Infrastructure Products sales increased 10%, driven by 10% sales volume growth (excluding the ACI acquisition) that more than offset a 5% decline in average sales price. Performance and Essential Materials sales increased 2% over the same period of time due to a 3% increase in average sales price and a 3% increase in sales volume (excluding plant shutdowns) that was partially offset by a 5% sales impact from plant shutdowns.

**<u>EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY</u>**

"The first quarter of 2026 began to reflect our cost reduction initiatives announced in 2025. Late in the first quarter we began to see margin improvement in the PEM segment as a result of the Iranian conflict. Our HIP segment saw gains in Pipe and Fittings sales volumes driven by continued strength in infrastructure spending, which was more than offset by the subdued North American residential construction activity and lower average sales prices," said Jean-Marc Gilson, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in March, PVC resin and polyethylene sales prices have risen significantly, driven by a steepening of the global cost curve as a result of sharply higher global feedstock and energy prices. At the same time, North American natural gas costs have declined from earlier-year levels due to more favorable weather conditions. While the duration and severity of the impact on global feedstock and energy markets from supply chain disruptions remain uncertain, we expect these factors to provide a meaningful benefit to PEM's margins through at least the summer of 2026. We expect HIP sales volume to be supported by continued infrastructure spending, including strong demand from new data centers, although interest rates and increased building costs are likely to keep home affordability as a headwind to sales volume growth. Finally, in addition to the pricing and margin benefits of a steeper global cost curve, we anticipate further earnings improvement in the coming quarters as we continue to execute against our three-pillar profitability improvement plan," Mr. Gilson concluded.

**<u>RESULTS</u>**

**Consolidated Results**

(Unless otherwise noted the financial numbers below exclude the effects of the Identified Items)

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported a quarterly net loss of $100 million, or $0.77 per share, on net sales of $2.7 billion compared to the net loss of $131 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2025. Sequentially, earnings benefited from the ACI acquisition and higher HIP sales volume, which were partially offset by the impact of higher natural gas costs.

EBITDA of $235 million for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $60 million compared to first quarter 2025 EBITDA of $295 million. First quarter 2026 EBITDA increased by $39 million compared to fourth quarter 2025 EBITDA of $196 million.

------

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release (including EBITDA and measures that exclude the effects of the Identified Items) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the financial schedules at the end of this press release.

**Cash, Investments and Debt** 

Net cash used for operating activities was $94 million for the first quarter of 2026 and capital expenditures were $209 million. As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and fixed-income investments were $2.5 billion and total debt was $5.6 billion.

**Housing and Infrastructure Products Segment**

(Unless otherwise noted the financial numbers below exclude the effects of the Identified Items)

For the first quarter of 2026, Housing and Infrastructure Products income from operations of $124 million decreased by $24 million as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year decrease was the result of lower average sales price and margins, particularly in Pipe & Fittings, and lower sales volume (excluding sales attributable to the ACI acquisition), particularly in Building Products.

Sequentially, Housing and Infrastructure Products income from operations increased by $42 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. This increase in income from operations versus the prior quarter was primarily due to seasonally higher sales volume and sales attributable to the ACI acquisition.

**Performance and Essential Materials Segment**

(Unless otherwise noted the financial numbers below exclude the effects of the Identified Items)

For the first quarter of 2026, Performance and Essential Materials loss from operations was $194 million as compared to the first quarter of 2025's loss from operations of $156 million due to a 3% decline in average sales price that was partially offset by margin benefits from footprint optimization and cost saving actions. Performance Materials net sales of $1.0 billion in the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $53 million primarily due to lower average sales price for polyethylene and PVC resin and lower PVC resin sales volume due to footprint optimization actions. Essential Materials net sales of $656 million decreased by $138 million from the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower chlorine and caustic soda sales volume.

Sequentially, Performance and Essential Materials loss from operations for the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $28 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. This improvement in loss from operations versus the prior quarter was primarily due to a higher average sales price, particularly for polyethylene.

*These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially, based on factors including, but not limited to: general economic and business conditions; the cyclical nature of the chemical and building products industries; the availability, cost and volatility of raw materials and energy; uncertainties associated with the United States, European and worldwide economies, including those due to political tensions and conflict in the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine and elsewhere; uncertainties associated with pandemic infectious diseases; uncertainties associated with climate change; the potential impact on demand for ethylene, polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride due to initiatives such as recycling and customers seeking alternatives to polymers; current and potential governmental regulatory actions in the United States and other countries; industry production capacity and operating rates; the supply/demand balance for Westlake's products; competitive products and pricing pressures; instability in the credit and financial markets; access to capital markets; terrorist acts; operating interruptions; changes in laws and regulations, including trade policies and tariffs; the effects of government shutdowns; technological developments; information systems failures and cyberattacks; foreign currency exchange risks; our ability to implement our business strategies; creditworthiness of our customers; the effects and results of litigation and settlements of litigation; and other risk factors.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

*This release makes reference to certain "non-GAAP" financial measures, such as EBITDA, free cash flow and other measures that exclude the effects of the Identified Items, as defined in Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For this purpose, a non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that (1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or (2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), but believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, free cash flow and measures that exclude the effects of the Identified Items, provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of (i) net loss, loss from operations and net cash provided by (used for) operating activities to EBITDA, and (ii) net cash provided by (used for) operating activities to free cash flow and (iii) other measures reflecting adjustments for the effects of the Identified Items can be found in the financial schedules at the end of this press release.*

2 First Quarter 2026 Highlights • Intra-quarter improvement in PEM's average sales price with further realizations expected to benefit subsequent quarters as a result of a steepening of the global cost curve due to the Middle East conflict • On track to deliver 2026 EBITDA uplift of $600 million from our three-pillar profitability improvement plan (footprint optimization, cost savings and improved plant reliability) • PEM sales volume (excl. plant closures)(4) increased both YoY and QoQ for the first time since 2Q'24 driven by higher PVC resin production and sales volume • Strong Pipe and Fittings sales volume growth from sustained strength in infrastructure spending, including data centers' needs for cooling water • Acquisition of ACI in January 2026 improves HIP's exposure to the fast-growing high- voltage wire & cable market • Solid investment-grade rated balance sheet with $2.5 billion of cash and equivalents(3) (1) Excludes "Identified Items" consisting of a $67 million charge to settle certain litigation involving direct purchasers of PVC pipe and fittings and $18 million of charges related to previously announced facility shutdowns (2) Reconciliation of EBITDA excl. Identified Items to the applicable GAAP measure can be found on page 11 (3) Includes investments in available-for-sale securities (4) Certain of PEM's North America chlorovinyls production facilities ceased operations in December 2025, including (i) the polyvinyl chloride plant at the Aberdeen, Mississippi facility, (ii) the vinyl chloride monomer plant at the Lake Charles, Louisiana North facility and (iii) a diaphragm chlor-alkali unit at the Lake Charles, Louisiana South facility, as well as the styrene production plant located at the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility. The PVC resin production unit owned by the Huasu joint venture ceased operations in June 2025. In January 2026, HIP completed the acquisition of ACI. 1Q 2026 Financial Results $235M EBITDA(1,2) $2.7B Net Sales $2.5B Cash, Equivalents and Investments(3)

7 Performance and Essential Materials Update 2 Following a spike early in 1Q'26, U.S. natural gas prices have declined sharply which could provide a tailwind to PEM's margins for the remainder of 2026 3 Relatively stable North American demand as global macroeconomic conditions remain weak in Europe and Asia, but Westlake's high degree of product integration and large offtake of PVC resin to the HIP segment provide less exposure to weaker economies outside North America 4 The significant majority of the targeted $600 million company-wide EBITDA uplift in 2026 from our three-pillar profitability improvement plan is expected to benefit the PEM segment 1 Energy and feedstock advantages in North America (~85% of our production capacity) and our high degree of vertical integration relative to the global industry positions us to benefit from the steepening global cost curve and serve our customers well
