Matthew Dale on recent calls
“One, why do you only take operating rates to 90% in 2Q? Why not more? And as you ramp down from 2Q to 3Q, what's the headwind to EBITDA just from operating rates?”
“I just wanted to ask kind of a clarifying question a little bit on the consumer business. You'd mentioned some non-operating tailwinds. Absent that, things would have been flat quarter over quarter.”
“So if I square off the $45 million headwind from gas quarter over quarter for PEM, and then I back out $100 million of EBITDA from the cost cut sequentially, I don't know, maybe PEM was down $60 million quarter over quarter, all else equal from an operational perspective.”
“European energy price is clearly up from pre-conflict levels, and I know it gets passed through on onsite, but how are you managing merchant and package pricing?”
“Not alone on that part, I just wanted to know what your input, so thank you.”
