nnMethanex Corporation Announces Temporary Shutdown of New Zealand Operations to Optimize Energy Balancesnn

Date: August 12, 2024
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia

Methanex Corporation (TSX: MX) (NASDAQ: MEOH) has disclosed its strategic decision to temporarily suspend its manufacturing operations in New Zealand, effective immediately and extending through the end of October 2024. This cessation is part of a calculated move aimed at enhancing energy balances in the region.

The company has entered into short-term commercial agreements allowing it to divert its contracted natural gas supply towards the New Zealand electricity market. This initiative is anticipated to create a beneficial impact on Methanex’s earnings for the third and fourth quarters of 2024. The financial guidance provided indicates that the after-tax revenues generated from these arrangements are expected to significantly surpass the profit margins lost due to the halt in methanol production in New Zealand.

Under the terms of the newly established agreements, Methanex will receive a guaranteed base price for each unit of natural gas supplied, with the potential for additional value to be realized based on the prevailing electricity prices during the contract period. This dual pricing structure is designed to maximize returns while placing Methanex in a strong position to respond to fluctuating market conditions.

Methanex remains committed to maintaining operational flexibility while aligning its resources to meet both its corporate objectives and those of the communities it serves. The company anticipates that these strategic decisions will foster long-term profitability and sustainability, even as it temporarily idles its New Zealand facilities.,
