METHANEX REPORTS HIGHER EARNINGS AND CASH FLOWS IN THIRD QUARTER 2026
Financial and Production Highlights
•Net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $265 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $543 million, and Adjusted net income of $284 million in the third quarter.
•Reported an average realized price in the third quarter of $510 per tonne compared to $529 per tonne in the second quarter of 2026. Based on our October and November posted prices and current spot pricing, we expect that our average realized price range will be approximately $525 to $550 per tonne for these two months.
•Produced 2,143,000 tonnes of methanol in the third quarter, with record North American production.
•Announced an agreement to sell substantially all of our remaining New Zealand natural gas contractual entitlements commencing in the first quarter of 2027 and continuing through the end of the decade when such entitlements expire. The expected indefinite idling of our New Zealand production facilities during the first quarter of 2027 resulted in a $10 million accrual for restructuring activities, which has been included as a deduction in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
•Generated $646 million of cash flows from operating activities, returned $14 million to shareholders through regular dividends and ended the quarter with $912 million in cash. Provided notice to redeem $300 million of our existing $700 million bonds due in October 2027 and expect to redeem the final $400 million during the fourth quarter of 2026.
•Subsequent to the quarter, announced approval of a 5% normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 3,868,213 common shares through November 3, 2027.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - For the third quarter of 2026, Methanex (TSX:MX) (NASDAQ:MEOH) reported net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $265 million ($3.42 net income per common share on a diluted basis) compared to a net income of $198 million ($2.45 net income per common share on a diluted basis) in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 was $543 million and Adjusted net income was $284 million ($3.69 Adjusted net income per common share). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $577 million and Adjusted net income of $300 million ($3.87 Adjusted net income per common share) for the second quarter of 2026.
Rich Sumner, President & CEO of Methanex, said, "The Middle East conflict's dramatic impact on the methanol industry persisted through the third quarter, with the significant loss of industry supply supporting ongoing pricing strength. Our enhanced asset base continued to run well, particularly in North America, helping to drive another quarter of strong Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow. We remain focused on operating our assets and supply chain safely and reliably as we continue to navigate dynamic conditions."

1 Methanex-produced methanol represents our equity share of methanol volume produced at our facilities and excludes volume marketed on a commission basis related to the 50% of the Egypt facility that we do not own.
2 Methanex average non-discounted posted price represents the average of our non-discounted posted prices in North America, Europe, China and Asia Pacific weighted by total methanol sales volume. Current and historical pricing information is available at www.methanex.com.
3 The Company has used Average realized price ("ARP") throughout this document. ARP is calculated as methanol revenue divided by the total methanol sales volume. It is used by management to assess the realized price per unit of methanol sold, and is relevant in a cyclical commodity environment where revenue can fluctuate in response to market prices.
4 Revenue includes sales of ammonia and other products, in addition to sales of methanol.
5 Note that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to the Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures section on page 14 of our third quarter MD&A dated October 29, 2026 for a description of each non-GAAP measure.

1 The asset impairment charge includes $26 million ($33 million, net of tax) relating to the Titan facility and the Company's 63.1% share of the impairment charge recognized by Atlas of $74 million ($82 million, net of tax).
•We recorded net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $265 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $198 million in the second quarter of 2026. Net income in the third quarter of 2026 was higher compared to the prior quarter primarily due to the impact of the asset impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2026. This was partially offset by a lower average realized price in the third quarter of 2026.
•We sold 2,595,000 tonnes of methanol in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2,555,000 tonnes of methanol in the second quarter of 2026. Sales of Methanex-produced methanol were 2,279,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2,151,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026.
•Production of methanol for the third quarter of 2026 was 2,143,000 tonnes compared to 2,213,000 tonnes for the second quarter of 2026. Production was strong across our North American and Egypt assets and was lower in Chile, where we experienced expected seasonal gas availability constraints. In Trinidad, production declined as the Titan plant ceased operations and was indefinitely idled.
•We announced an agreement to sell substantially all of our remaining New Zealand natural gas contractual entitlements commencing in the first quarter of 2027 and continuing through the end of the decade when such entitlements expire. The expected indefinite idling of our New Zealand production facilities during the first quarter of 2027 resulted in a $10 million accrual for restructuring activities, which has been included as a deduction in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
•In the third quarter of 2026 we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share for a total of $14 million.
•At September 30, 2026, we had a strong liquidity position, including a cash balance of $912 million and access to a $400 million unutilized revolving credit facility. The Company provided notice to redeem $300 million of our existing $700 million bonds originally due in October 2027. The amount was repaid subsequent to the quarter.
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER NEWS RELEASE PAGE 3
•Subsequent to the quarter, on October 29, 2026, we announced approval of a 5% normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 3,868,213 common shares through November 3, 2027.

1The operating capacity of our production facilities may be higher or lower than original nameplate capacity as, over time, these figures have been adjusted to reflect ongoing operating efficiencies at these facilities. Actual production for a facility in any given year may be higher or lower than operating capacity due to a number of factors, including natural gas availability, feedstock composition, the age of the facility's catalyst, turnarounds and access to CO2 from external suppliers for certain facilities. We review and update the operating capacity of our production facilities on a regular basis based on historical performance.
2The facilities were acquired on June 27, 2025.
3The operating capacity of New Zealand consists of one Motunui facility, with the other excluded as it is currently idle. The Company expects to indefinitely idle the remaining Motunui facility during the first quarter of 2027. Refer to the New Zealand section below.
4The operating capacity of Trinidad consists of the Titan facility (100% interest). The Atlas facility (63.1% interest) is excluded as it is currently idle. The Company indefinitely idled the Titan facility during the third quarter. Refer to the Trinidad section below.
Key production and operational highlights during the third quarter include:
United States
Geismar produced 1,007,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 1,027,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Beaumont produced 199,000 tonnes of methanol and 83,000 tonnes of ammonia in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 185,000 tonnes of methanol and 83,000 tonnes of ammonia in the second quarter of 2026. Beaumont's methanol production was higher as the plant was offline for approximately 30 days starting in early June to repair the cooling tower. The Natgasoline plant produced 221,000 tonnes of methanol (Methanex share) in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 204,000 tonnes of methanol (Methanex share) in the second quarter of 2026.
Canada
Medicine Hat produced 140,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 143,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026.
Chile
Chile produced 221,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 322,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was lower in the third quarter compared to the second quarter as we undertook a single-plant operation through most of the period due to the seasonal reduction of gas availability from Argentina. We restarted two-plant operations late in September. We have gas contracts in place with Chilean and Argentinean gas producers until 2030 and 2027, respectively, which
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER NEWS RELEASE PAGE 4
underpin approximately 55% of the site's gas requirements year-round. While seasonality in production is expected to continue, we are seeing generally positive developments in natural gas availability to supply our Chile facilities.
Egypt
Egypt produced 330,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 165,000 tonnes) in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 330,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 165,000 tonnes) in the second quarter of 2026. Gas availability in Egypt is influenced by several factors, including domestic production levels, gas imports and seasonal demand fluctuations. We are monitoring the gas market closely and we may experience curtailments in the future, particularly in the summer months, depending on gas supply and demand dynamics in the domestic and international markets.
New Zealand
New Zealand produced 156,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 46,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was higher in the third quarter due to a planned winter outage in the second quarter to supply gas to the New Zealand electricity sector. The plant was restarted in July and continues to operate at reduced rates. We announced an agreement to sell substantially all of our remaining New Zealand natural gas contractual entitlements commencing in the first quarter of 2027 and continuing through the end of the decade when such entitlements expire, and the expected indefinite idling of the New Zealand production facilities during the first quarter of 2027.
Trinidad
In Trinidad, the Titan plant produced 34,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 121,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was lower in the third quarter as the plant ceased operations and was indefinitely idled.
Outlook
We expect our 2026 production to be approximately 9.0 million tonnes (Methanex interest) of methanol and 0.3 million tonnes of ammonia. Actual production may vary by quarter based on gas availability, turnarounds, unplanned outages and unanticipated events.
Based on our October and November posted prices and current spot pricing, we expect that our average realized price range will be approximately $525 to $550 per tonne for these two months. Based on a higher realized price and similar sales of produced methanol, we are expecting higher Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter.

1 Methanex-produced methanol represents our equity share of methanol volume produced at our facilities and excludes volume marketed on a commission basis related to the 50% of the Egypt facility that we do not own.
2 Methanex average non-discounted posted price represents the average of our non-discounted posted prices in North America, Europe, China and Asia Pacific weighted by total methanol sales volume. Current and historical pricing information is available at www.methanex.com.
3 The Company has used Average realized price ("ARP") throughout this document. ARP is calculated as methanol revenue divided by the total methanol sales volume. It is used by management to assess the realized price per unit of methanol sold, and is relevant in a cyclical commodity environment where revenue can fluctuate in response to market prices.
4 Revenue includes sales of ammonia and other products, in addition to sales of methanol.
5 Note that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

2 The Company has used the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share throughout this document. These items are non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures on page 14 of the MD&A for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.
▪We recorded net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $265 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $198 million in the second quarter of 2026. Net income in the third quarter of 2026 was higher compared to the prior quarter primarily due to the impact of the asset impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2026. This was partially offset by a lower average realized price in the third quarter of 2026.
▪We sold 2,595,000 tonnes of methanol in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2,555,000 tonnes of methanol in the second quarter of 2026. Sales of Methanex-produced methanol were 2,279,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 2,151,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Refer to the Supply/Demand Fundamentals section on page 11 of the MD&A for more information.
▪Production of methanol for the third quarter of 2026 was 2,143,000 tonnes compared to 2,213,000 tonnes for the second quarter of 2026. Production was strong across our North American and Egypt assets and was lower in Chile, where we experienced expected seasonal gas availability constraints. In Trinidad, production declined as the Titan plant ceased operations and was indefinitely idled. Refer to the Production Highlights section on page 4 of the MD&A.
▪We announced an agreement to sell substantially all of our remaining New Zealand natural gas contractual entitlements commencing in the first quarter of 2027 and continuing through the end of the decade when such entitlements expire. The expected indefinite idling of our New Zealand production facilities during the first quarter of 2027 resulted in a $10 million accrual for restructuring activities, which has been included as a deduction in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
▪In the third quarter of 2026 we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share for a total of $14 million.
▪At September 30, 2026, we had a strong liquidity position, including a cash balance of $912 million, and access to a $400 million unutilized revolving credit facility. The Company provided notice to redeem $300 million of our existing $700 million bonds originally due in October 2027. The amount was repaid subsequent to the quarter.
▪Subsequent to the quarter, on October 29, 2026, we announced approval of a 5% normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 3,868,213 common shares through November 3, 2027.

1The operating capacity of our production facilities may be higher or lower than original nameplate capacity as, over time, these figures have been adjusted to reflect ongoing operating efficiencies at these facilities. Actual production for a facility in any given year may be higher or lower than operating capacity due to a number of factors, including natural gas availability, feedstock composition, the age of the facility's catalyst, turnarounds and access to CO2 from external suppliers for certain facilities. We review and update the operating capacity of our production facilities on a regular basis based on historical performance.
2 The facilities were acquired on June 27, 2025.
3 The operating capacity of New Zealand consists of one Motunui facility, with the other excluded as it is currently idle. The Company expects to indefinitely idle the remaining Motunui facility during the first quarter of 2027. Refer to the New Zealand section below.
4 The operating capacity of Trinidad consists of the Titan facility (100% interest). The Atlas facility (63.1% interest) is excluded as it is currently idle. The Company indefinitely idled the Titan facility during the third quarter. Refer to the Trinidad section below.
Key production and operational highlights during the third quarter include:
United States
Geismar produced 1,007,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 1,027,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Beaumont produced 199,000 tonnes of methanol and 83,000 tonnes of ammonia in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 185,000 tonnes of methanol and 83,000 tonnes of ammonia in the second quarter of 2026. Beaumont's methanol production was higher as the plant was offline for approximately 30 days starting in early June to repair the cooling tower. The Natgasoline plant produced 221,000 tonnes of methanol (Methanex share) in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 204,000 tonnes of methanol (Methanex share) in the second quarter of 2026.
Canada
Medicine Hat produced 140,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 143,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026.
Chile
Chile produced 221,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 322,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was lower in the third quarter compared to the second quarter as we undertook a single-plant operation through most of the period due to the seasonal reduction of gas availability from Argentina. We restarted two-plant operations late in September. We have gas contracts in place with Chilean and Argentinean gas producers until 2030 and 2027, respectively, which underpin approximately 55% of the site's gas requirements year-round. While seasonality in production is expected to continue, we are seeing generally positive developments in natural gas availability to supply our Chile facilities.
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 4
Egypt
Egypt produced 330,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 165,000 tonnes) in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 330,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 165,000 tonnes) in the second quarter of 2026. Gas availability in Egypt is influenced by several factors, including domestic production levels, gas imports and seasonal demand fluctuations. We are monitoring the gas market closely and we may experience curtailments in the future, particularly in the summer months, depending on gas supply and demand dynamics in the domestic and international markets.
New Zealand
New Zealand produced 156,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 46,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was higher in the third quarter due to a planned winter outage in the second quarter to supply gas to the New Zealand electricity sector. The plant was restarted in July and continues to operate at reduced rates. We announced an agreement to sell substantially all of our remaining New Zealand natural gas contractual entitlements commencing in the first quarter of 2027 and continuing through the end of the decade when such entitlements expire, and the expected indefinite idling of the New Zealand production facilities during the first quarter of 2027.
Trinidad
In Trinidad, the Titan plant produced 34,000 tonnes in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 121,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2026. Production was lower in the third quarter as the plant ceased operations and was indefinitely idled.
Outlook
We expect our 2026 production to be approximately 9.0 million tonnes (Methanex interest) of methanol and 0.3 million tonnes of ammonia. Actual production may vary by quarter based on gas availability, turnarounds, unplanned outages and unanticipated events.
Based on our October and November posted prices and current spot pricing, we expect that our average realized price range will be approximately $525 to $550 per tonne for these two months. Based on a higher realized price and similar sales of produced methanol, we are expecting higher Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the third quarter of 2026, we reported net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $265 million ($3.42 net income per common share on a diluted basis) compared to a net income attributable to Methanex shareholders for the second quarter of 2026 of $198 million ($2.45 net income per common share on a diluted basis) and net loss attributable to Methanex shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 of $7 million ($0.09 net loss per common share on a diluted basis).
For the third quarter of 2026, we recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $543 million and Adjusted net income of $284 million ($3.69 Adjusted net income per common share). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $577 million and an Adjusted net income of $300 million ($3.87 Adjusted net income per common share) for the second quarter of 2026 and Adjusted EBITDA of $191 million and Adjusted net income of $5 million ($0.06 Adjusted net income per common share) for the third quarter of 2025.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income by including amounts related to our equity share of the Natgasoline facility (50% interest) and Atlas facility (63.1% interest) and by excluding the non-controlling interests' share, the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation as a result of changes in our share price, the mark-to-market impact of gas contract revaluations included in finance income and other expenses and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. Refer to Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures on page 14 for a further discussion on how we calculate these measures. Our analysis of depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other expenses and income taxes is consistent with the presentation of our consolidated statements of income and excludes amounts related to Atlas and Natgasoline.

Adjusted EBITDA
We review the results of operations by analyzing changes in the components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a discussion of the definitions used in our Adjusted EBITDA analysis, refer to How We Analyze Our Business on page 19. Changes in these components - average realized price, sales volume and total cash costs - similarly impact net income attributable to Methanex shareholders. The changes in Adjusted EBITDA resulted from changes in the following:

Methanex’s average realized price for the third quarter of 2026 was $510 per tonne compared to $529 per tonne in the second quarter of 2026 and $345 per tonne in the third quarter of 2025, resulting in a decrease of $35 million and an increase of $413 million in Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our average realized price was $462 per tonne compared to $373 per tonne for the same period in 2025, increasing Adjusted EBITDA by $641 million.
Refer to the Supply/Demand Fundamentals section on page 11 of the MD&A for more information.
Sales volume
Methanol sales volume excluding commission sales volume in the third quarter of 2026 was 51,000 tonnes higher than the second quarter of 2026 and 70,000 tonnes higher compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase in sales volume in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026 increased Adjusted EBITDA by $14 million. The increase in sales volume for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 increased Adjusted EBITDA by $4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, methanol sales volume excluding commission sales volume was 852,000 tonnes higher, increasing Adjusted EBITDA by $92 million. Sales volume may vary quarter to quarter depending on customer requirements and inventory levels as well as the available commission sales volume.
Ammonia contribution
The changes in ammonia contribution to Adjusted EBITDA for all periods presented are primarily a result of changes in ammonia pricing, the volume of ammonia sold as well as the cost to produce ammonia. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026, the ammonia contribution to Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4 million primarily due to a lower average realized price. For the third quarter compared to the same period in 2025, the ammonia contribution to Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12 million due to a higher average realized price. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the contribution is higher due to the introduction of ammonia production from the Beaumont facility to our business late in the second quarter of 2025.
Total cash costs
The primary drivers of changes in our total cash costs are changes in the cost of Methanex-produced methanol as well as in the cost of methanol we purchase from others ("purchased methanol"). We supplement our production with methanol produced by others through methanol offtake contracts and purchases on the spot market to meet customer needs and to support our marketing efforts globally.
We apply the first-in, first-out method of accounting for inventories and it generally takes between 30 and 60 days to sell the methanol we produce or purchase. Accordingly, the changes in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in Methanex-produced and purchased methanol costs primarily depend on changes in methanol pricing and the timing of inventory flows.
In a rising price environment, our margins at a given price are higher than in a stable price environment as a result of timing of methanol purchases and production versus sales. Generally, the opposite applies when methanol prices are decreasing.

Methanex-produced methanol costs
Natural gas is the primary feedstock at our methanol facilities and is the most significant component of Methanex-produced methanol costs. We purchase natural gas in North America and are exposed to natural gas spot price fluctuations for the unhedged portion of our gas needs in the region. For approximately one quarter of our global production, we purchase natural gas under agreements where the unique terms of each contract include a base price and a variable price component linked to methanol price to reduce our commodity price risk exposure. The variable price component is adjusted by a formula linked to methanol sales prices above a certain level.
For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026, higher Methanex-produced methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $22 million. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, higher Methanex-produced methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025, lower Methanex-produced methanol costs increased Adjusted EBITDA by $11 million. Changes in Methanex-produced methanol costs for all periods presented are primarily due to the impact of changes in realized methanol prices on the variable portion of our natural gas cost, changes in spot gas prices which impact the unhedged portion of our North American operations, timing of inventory flows and changes in the mix of production sold from inventory.
Proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales
The cost of purchased methanol is linked to the selling price for methanol at the time of purchase and the cost of purchased methanol is generally higher than the cost of Methanex-produced methanol. Accordingly, an increase (decrease) in the proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales results in a decrease (increase) in our overall cost structure for a given period. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026 a higher proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales increased Adjusted EBITDA by $16 million. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, a higher proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales increased Adjusted EBITDA by $22 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025, a higher proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales increased Adjusted EBITDA by $80 million.
Purchased methanol costs
Changes in purchased methanol costs for all periods presented are primarily a result of changes in methanol pricing and the timing of purchases sold from inventory, as well as the volume and regional mix of sourcing for purchased methanol. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026, the impact of higher purchased methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $16 million. For the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, the impact of higher purchased methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $34 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025, higher purchased methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $54 million.
Logistics costs
Logistics costs include the cost of transportation, storage and handling of product, and can vary from period to period primarily depending on the levels of production from each of our production facilities, the resulting impact on our supply chain, and variability in bunker fuel costs. Logistics costs for the third quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2026, decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $4 million and for the third quarter of 2026 compared to the third quarter of 2025, decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $26 million. Logistics costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $33 million higher compared to the same period in 2025. Changes in logistics costs are impacted by the mix of production from various plants and the impact on ocean
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 8
freight of longer supply routes. The increase in costs for all periods presented is primarily due to rising bunker fuel and supply chain costs as a result of the Middle East conflict.
Other, net
Other, net relates to unabsorbed fixed costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and other operational items. The impact of other costs increased Adjusted EBITDA by $17 million during the third quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2026, driven by lower restructuring costs and selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same periods in 2025, other costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $23 million and $43 million respectively. The increase in other costs is primarily driven by restructuring costs of $10 million in New Zealand during the third quarter of 2026 and $12 million in Trinidad and Tobago during the second quarter of 2026 as well as higher unabsorbed costs.
Mark-to-Market Impact of Share-based Compensation
We grant share-based awards as an element of compensation. Share-based awards granted include stock options, share appreciation rights, tandem share appreciation rights, deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units. For all share-based awards, share-based compensation is recognized over the related vesting period for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. Share-based compensation includes an amount related to the grant-date value and a mark-to-market impact as a result of subsequent changes in the fair value of the share-based awards primarily driven by the Company’s share price. The grant-date value amount is included in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income. The mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation as a result of changes in our share price is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income and analyzed separately.

2For all periods presented, the mark-to-market impact on share-based compensation is primarily due to changes in the Methanex Corporation share price.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $117 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $121 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $111 million for the third quarter of 2025. Depreciation and amortization in the third quarter of 2026 was lower compared to the second quarter of 2026 due to lower unabsorbed depreciation. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, depreciation and amortization was higher due to higher sales of Methanex produced product and with newer plants making up a higher proportion of our sales volumes.

1 Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted income tax expense or recovery, divided by adjusted net income before tax.
2 Adjusted net income before income tax and Adjusted income tax expense are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP ratio. These do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management uses these to assess the effective tax rate. These measures and ratios are useful as they are a better measure of our underlying tax rate across the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We earn the majority of our income in the United States, Chile, Egypt, Canada, and New Zealand. Including applicable withholding taxes, the statutory tax rate applicable to Methanex in the United States is 26%, Chile is 35%, Egypt is 29%, Canada is 23.8%, and New Zealand is 28%. We accrue for withholding taxes that will be incurred upon distributions from our subsidiaries when it is probable that the earnings will be repatriated. As the Atlas and Natgasoline entities are accounted for using the equity method, any income taxes related to Atlas and Natgasoline are included in earnings of associates and therefore excluded from total income taxes but included in the calculation of Adjusted net income.
The effective tax rate based on Adjusted net income was 25% for the third quarter of 2026 and 22% for the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted net income represents the amount that is attributable to Methanex shareholders and excludes the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. The effective tax rate differs from period to period depending on the source of earnings and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations against the United States dollar.

SUPPLY/DEMAND FUNDAMENTALS
Short-term
The conflict in the Middle East, which began in late February 2026, continues to impact an estimated 15-20 million tonnes of internationally traded volumes in an unprecedented supply shock to the global methanol industry. The significant supply gaps created through the third quarter were met primarily with a combination of drawdowns of inventory to recent historic lows, primarily in Asia, and through demand rationalization, both methanol-to-olefin ("MTO") in China and other demand, particularly in Asia. These conditions persisted into the fourth quarter, with the acute supply shortages supporting continued global methanol price strength. There remains uncertainty as to the ultimate resolution of the Middle East conflict and the timing of a return to more normalized conditions.
Long-term
Over the long term, we believe that traditional chemical demand for methanol is influenced by the strength of global and regional economies and industrial production levels. We believe that demand for energy-related applications will be influenced by energy prices, pricing of end products, and government policies that are playing an increasing role in encouraging new applications for methanol due to its emissions benefits as a fuel. The future operating rates and methanol consumption from MTO producers will depend on a number of factors, including the pricing for their various final products, the degree of downstream integration of these units with other products, the impact of olefin industry feedstock costs, including naphtha, on relative competitiveness, methanol supply availability, particularly from Iran, and plant maintenance schedules.
We expect limited capacity additions in the next few years. In Iran, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding the status of existing assets and the likely pace of progress of planned or announced projects in the country. The extent of damage to methanol plants and
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 11
gas infrastructure in the region due to the Middle East conflict remains unclear. In addition, operating rates at methanol plants are constrained by gas availability due to depleting gas fields. In China, planned capacity additions are expected to have a high degree of downstream integration and be somewhat offset by the closure of some inefficient older plants. New capacity built in China is expected to be consumed domestically as China requires methanol imports to meet growing demand.
Methanol Price
Our average realized price in the third quarter of 2026 was $510 per tonne compared to $529 per tonne in the second quarter of 2026.
Future methanol prices will depend on the strength of the global economy, industry operating rates, global energy prices, new supply additions and the strength of global demand.
The following table outlines our recent regional non-discounted posted prices. Methanol is a global commodity and future methanol prices are directly impacted by changes in methanol supply and demand. Based on the diversity of end products in which methanol is used, demand for methanol is driven by a number of factors including: strength of global and regional economies, industrial production levels, energy and derivatives prices, pricing of end products and government regulations and policies. Methanol industry supply is impacted by the cost and availability of feedstock, methanol industry operating rates and new methanol industry capacity additions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We operate in a highly competitive commodity industry and are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. At September 30, 2026, our cash balance was $912 million. We invest our cash only in highly rated instruments that have maturities of three months or less to ensure preservation of capital and appropriate liquidity. We continuously evaluate the liquidity requirements needed to achieve our strategic objectives, including our capital expenditures.
The Company monitors Adjusted Debt and Adjusted Free Cash Flow as part of its near-term capital allocation priority to direct excess cash to de-lever the balance sheet. On September 21, 2026, the Company provided early notice to redeem $300 million of our existing $700 million bonds due in October 2027. The amount was repaid subsequent to the quarter. We expect to redeem the final $400 million during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Adjusted Debt excludes the non-controlling interest share that is consolidated in the balance sheet at 100% and includes the equity share of associates which are presented net within investment in associates in the balance sheet. The following table shows a reconciliation of debt and lease obligations per the financial statements to Adjusted Debt.

Cash flows from operating activities in the third quarter of 2026 were $646 million compared to $184 million for the third quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2026, the average realized price was $510/MT compared to $345/MT in the third quarter of 2025. This higher price contributed positively to earnings, in addition to higher produced sales volumes compared to the third quarter of 2025. Working capital changes resulted in a cash inflow of $93 million in the third quarter of 2026, driven mainly by decreased inventory volumes due to higher sales and supply chain optimization, along with increased accounts payable.
Cash outflows from financing activities in the third quarter of 2026 were $89 million compared to an outflow of $241 million in the third quarter of 2025. Cash outflows from financing activities in the third quarter of 2026 were primarily driven by normal-course debt interest and lease payments as well as distributions payable to the Company's non-controlling interests. Cash outflows from financing activities in the third quarter of 2025 were primarily driven by the Company's $125 million repayment on its Term Loan A facility, with the remaining activity related to the normal-course debt interest and lease payments.
In the third quarter of 2026 we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share for a total of $14 million.
Cash used in investing activities in the third quarter of 2026 was $28 million compared to $15 million used in the third quarter of 2025. Investing activities in both periods are primarily made up of capital expenditures related to maintenance and major projects.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of 2026, no changes were made in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, we present certain additional non-GAAP measures and ratios throughout this document. These are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted net income before income tax, Adjusted income tax expense, Adjusted effective tax rate, Adjusted debt, and Adjusted free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios reflect our 50% economic interest in the Natgasoline Facility, our 63.1% economic interest in the Atlas Facility, our 50% economic interest in the Egypt Facility and our 60% economic interest in Waterfront Shipping, and are useful as they are a better measure of our underlying performance, and assist in assessing the operating performance of the Company's business. For our Atlas Facility, Egypt facility, and Waterfront Shipping, we fully run the operations on our partners' behalf, despite having less than full share of the economic interest. For the Natgasoline Facility, we have joint control of the facility and offtake our share of production to be marketed in our global supply chain and therefore the facility is heavily integrated into our business. We therefore view that these measures, at our share of our facilities, are a better measure of our underlying performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These supplemental non-GAAP measures and ratios are provided to assist readers in determining our ability to generate cash from operations and improve the comparability of our results from one period to another.
These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income, revenue, cash flows and other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income attributable to Methanex shareholders, because it excludes the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gas contract settlement, finance costs, finance income and other expenses, income taxes and asset impairment charge. Adjusted EBITDA includes an amount representing our 50% share of the Natgasoline facility and 63.1% share of the Atlas facility and excludes the non-controlling shareholders' interests in entities which we control but do not fully own.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation related to changes in our share price on SARs, TSARs, deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units. The mark-to-market impact related to share-based compensation that is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income is calculated as the difference between the grant-date value and the fair value recorded at each period-end. As share-based awards will be settled in future periods, the ultimate value of the units is unknown at the date of grant and therefore the grant-date value recognized in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may differ from the total settlement cost.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share
Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share are a non-GAAP measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, because they exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, the mark-to-market impact of the gas and other contract revaluations included in finance income and other expenses, any timing mismatch of our Natgasoline inventory flows to our 50% ownership and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events.

The exclusion of certain items associated with specific identified events is due to these amounts not being seen as indicative of operational performance. The exclusion of the mark-to-market portion of the impact of share-based compensation is due to these amounts not being seen as indicative of operational performance and can fluctuate in the intervening periods until settlement. The exclusion of the impact of gas contract revaluations is due to the change in the derivatives being unrealized with the fair value of the derivatives expected to fluctuate in the intervening periods until settlement.

1 Methanex-produced methanol represents our equity share of methanol volume produced at our facilities and excludes volume marketed on a commission basis related to the 50% of the Egypt facility that we do not own.
2 Average realized price is calculated as methanol revenue divided by the total methanol sales volume.
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 18
HOW WE ANALYZE OUR BUSINESS
We review our financial results by analyzing changes in the components of Adjusted EBITDA, mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other expenses and income taxes.
The Company has used the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted net income before income tax, Adjusted income tax expense, Adjusted effective tax rate, Adjusted free cash flow, and Adjusted debt throughout this document. These items are non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to the Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures section on page 14 for a description of each non-GAAP measure and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.
In addition to the methanol that we produce at our facilities, we also purchase and re-sell methanol produced by others and we sell methanol on a commission basis. We analyze the results of all methanol sales together, excluding commission sales volume. The key drivers of changes in Adjusted EBITDA are average realized price, cash costs and sales volume, which are defined and calculated as follows:
| PRICE | The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in average realized price is calculated as the difference from period to period in the selling price of methanol multiplied by the current period total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume. | ||||
| CASH COSTS | The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in cash costs is calculated as the difference from period to period in cash costs per tonne multiplied by the current period total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume in the current period. The cash costs per tonne is the weighted average of the cash cost per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol and the cash cost per tonne of purchased methanol. The cash cost per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol includes absorbed fixed cash costs per tonne and variable cash costs per tonne. The cash cost per tonne of purchased methanol consists principally of the cost of methanol itself. In addition, the change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in cash costs includes the changes from period to period in unabsorbed fixed production costs, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses and fixed storage and handling costs. | ||||
| SALES VOLUME | The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in sales volume is calculated as the difference from period to period in total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume, multiplied by the margin per tonne for the prior period. The margin per tonne for the prior period is the weighted average margin per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol and margin per tonne of purchased methanol. The margin per tonne for Methanex-produced methanol is calculated as the selling price per tonne of methanol less absorbed fixed cash costs per tonne and variable cash costs per tonne. The margin per tonne for purchased methanol is calculated as the selling price per tonne of methanol less the cost of purchased methanol per tonne. | ||||
We own 50% of the Natgasoline methanol facility. A contractual agreement between us and our partners establishes joint control over Natgasoline. As a result, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting, which results in 50% of the net assets and net earnings of Natgasoline being presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of income, respectively. We own 63.1% of the Atlas methanol facility and a contractual agreement between us and our partners establishes joint control over Atlas. As a result, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting, which results in 63.1% of the net assets and net earnings of Atlas being presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of income, respectively. For purposes of analyzing our business, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, and Adjusted debt include an amount representing our 50% equity share in Natgasoline and our 63.1% equity share in Atlas. Our analysis of depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other expenses and income taxes is consistent with the presentation of our consolidated statements of income and excludes amounts related to Atlas and Natgasoline.
We own 50% of the 1.26 million tonne per year Egypt methanol facility and market the remaining 50% of its production through a commission offtake agreement. We own 60% of Waterfront Shipping, which provides service to Methanex for the ocean freight component of our distribution and logistics costs. We consolidate both Egypt and Waterfront Shipping, which results in 100% of the financial results being included in our financial statements. Non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and represent the non-controlling shareholders’ interests in the Egypt methanol facility and Waterfront Shipping. For purposes of analyzing our business, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, and Adjusted debt exclude the amounts associated with non-controlling interests.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Third Quarter 2026 Management’s Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") as well as comments made during the Third Quarter 2026 investor conference call contain forward-looking statements with respect to us and our industry. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Statements that include the words "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "potential," "estimates," "anticipates," "aim," "goal," "targets," "plan," "predict" or other comparable terminology and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements.
More particularly and without limitation, any statements regarding the following are forward-looking statements:
•the expected benefits of the OCI Acquisition, including benefits related to expected synergies and commodity diversification,
•anticipated synergies and Methanex's ability to achieve such synergies following closing of the OCI Acquisition,
•expected demand for methanol, including demand for methanol for energy uses, and its derivatives,
•expected new methanol supply or restart of idled capacity and timing for startup of the same,
•expected increase in methanol production of assets acquired as part of the OCI Acquisition,
•expected shutdowns (either temporary or permanent) or restarts of existing methanol supply (including our own facilities), including, without limitation, the timing and length of planned maintenance outages,
•expected methanol and energy prices,
•expected levels of methanol purchases from traders or other third parties,
•expected levels, timing and availability of economically priced natural gas supply to each of our plants,
•capital committed by third parties towards future natural gas exploration and development in the vicinity of our plants,
•our expected capital expenditures and anticipated timing and rate of return of such capital expenditures,
•anticipated operating rates of and production at our plants,
•expected operating costs, including natural gas feedstock costs and logistics costs,
•expected tax rates or resolutions to tax disputes,
•expected cash flows, cash balances, earnings capability, debt levels, debt reduction and deleveraging plans, and share price,
•availability of committed credit facilities and other financing,
•our ability to meet covenants associated with our long-term debt obligations,
•our shareholder distribution strategy and anticipated distributions to shareholders,
•commercial viability and timing of, or our ability to execute future projects, plant restarts, capacity expansions, plant relocations or other business initiatives or opportunities,
•our financial strength and ability to meet future financial commitments,
•expected global or regional economic activity (including industrial production levels) and gross domestic product growth,
•potential impact of tariffs on global economic activity and Methanex,
•geopolitical events in the Middle East and their impact on methanol supply and demand conditions,
•expected outcomes of litigation or other disputes, claims and assessments, and
•expected actions of governments, governmental agencies, gas suppliers, courts, tribunals or other third parties.
We believe that we have a reasonable basis for making such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this document are based on our experience, our perception of trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, future expectations and assumptions concerning the following:
•Methanex's ability to realize the expected strategic, financial and other benefits of the OCI Acquisition in the timeframe anticipated or at all,
•the supply of, demand for and price of methanol, methanol derivatives, natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives,
•the supply of, demand for and price of ammonia,
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER

•our ability to procure natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms,
•operating rates of our facilities,
•receipt or issuance of third-party consents or approvals or governmental approvals related to rights to purchase natural gas,
•the establishment of new fuel standards,
•operating costs, including natural gas feedstock and logistics costs, capital costs, tax rates, cash flows, foreign exchange rates and interest rates,
•the availability of committed credit facilities and other financing,
•our ability to sustain the designed operating rates of the Geismar 3 plant,
•global and regional economic activity (including industrial production levels) and gross domestic product growth,
•absence of a material negative impact from major natural disasters,
•absence of a material negative impact from changes in laws or regulations,
•absence of a material negative impact from political instability in the countries in which we operate, and
•enforcement of contractual arrangements and ability to perform contractual obligations by customers, natural gas and other suppliers and other third parties.
However, forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties primarily include those attendant with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure projects in various jurisdictions, including, without limitation:
•unforeseen difficulties in integrating the business operations or assets purchased pursuant to the OCI Acquisition into our business and operations,
•failure to realize the expected strategic, financial and other benefits of the OCI Acquisition in the timeframe anticipated or at all,
•unexpected costs or liabilities associated with the OCI Acquisition,
•increased indebtedness of Methanex,
•conditions in the methanol and other industries, including fluctuations in the supply, demand and price for methanol and its derivatives, including demand for methanol for energy uses,
•the price of natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives,
•our ability to obtain natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms to underpin current operations and future production growth opportunities,
•the ability to carry out corporate initiatives and strategies,
•actions of competitors, suppliers and financial institutions,
•conditions within the natural gas delivery systems that may prevent delivery of our natural gas supply requirements,
•competing demand for natural gas, especially with respect to any domestic needs for gas and electricity,
•actions of governments and governmental authorities, including, without limitation, implementation of policies or other measures that could impact the supply of or demand for methanol or its derivatives,
•changes in laws or regulations,
•import or export restrictions, anti-dumping measures, increases in duties, taxes and government royalties and other actions by governments that may adversely affect our operations or existing contractual arrangements,
•world-wide economic conditions, and
•other risks described in our 2025 Annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and this Third Quarter 2026 Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Having in mind these and other factors, investors and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They are not a substitute for the exercise of one’s own due diligence and judgment. The outcomes implied by forward-looking statements may not occur and we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as required by applicable securities laws.

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company identified an impairment trigger as a result of the decision to indefinitely idle the Titan facility following the inability to secure an economic long-term gas supply agreement. The decision to indefinitely idle the Titan cash generating unit ("Titan CGU") resulted in the Company recording a non-cash before-tax asset impairment charge of $11 million in property, plant and equipment, in addition to $15 million in supplies inventory, for a total impairment charge of $26 million to write down the carrying value of the Titan CGU to the recoverable amount of nil.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 7
The facility, comprising of the revolving credit facility, was entered into with the following significant covenants and default provisions:
a)the obligation to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to net interest expense greater than or equal to 2:1 calculated on a four-quarter trailing basis and a funded debt to total capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 60%, both calculated in accordance with definitions in the credit agreement that include adjustments to limited recourse subsidiaries,
b)a default if payment is accelerated by a creditor on any indebtedness of $50 million or more of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for limited recourse subsidiaries, and
c)if a default occurs that permits a creditor to demand repayment on any other indebtedness of $50 million or more of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for limited recourse subsidiaries.
The facility is partially secured by certain assets of the Company, and also include other customary covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness.
The covenants governing the Company’s and Methanex US Operations Inc.'s unsecured notes, which are specified in an indenture, apply to the Company, Methanex US Operations Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding the Egypt entity, the Atlas joint venture entity, and the Natgasoline joint venture entity, and include restrictions on liens, sale and lease-back transactions, a merger or consolidation with another corporation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The indentures also contain customary default provisions.
Failure to comply with any of the covenants or default provisions of the long-term debt arrangements described above could result in a default under the applicable credit agreement that would allow the lenders to not fund future loan requests, accelerate the due date of the principal and accrued interest on any outstanding loans, or restrict the payment of cash or other distributions.
As at September 30, 2026, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to long-term debt obligations.
Other limited recourse debt facilities relate to financing for a certain number of our ocean going vessels which we own through less than wholly-owned entities under the Company's control. The limited recourse debt facilities are described as limited recourse as they are secured only by the assets of the entity that carries the debt. Accordingly, the lenders to the limited recourse debt facilities have no recourse to the Company or its other subsidiaries.
5. Net income per common share:
Diluted net income per common share is calculated by considering the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and, under certain circumstances, tandem share appreciation rights ("TSARs") were exercised or converted to common shares.
Outstanding TSARs may be settled in cash or common shares at the holder’s option and for purposes of calculating diluted net income per common share, the more dilutive of the cash-settled and equity-settled method is used, regardless of how the plan is accounted for. Accordingly, TSARs that are accounted for using the cash-settled method will require adjustments to the numerator if the equity-settled method is determined to have a dilutive effect on diluted net income per common share as compared to the cash-settled method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and the three months ended September 30, 2025 the cash-settled method was more dilutive, and no adjustment was required for the numerator. The equity-settled method was more dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and an adjustment was required for the numerator.
Stock options and, if calculated using the equity-settled method, TSARs are considered dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period disclosed exceeds the exercise price of the stock option or TSAR. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, stock options were
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 8
dilutive, resulting in an adjustment to the denominator. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, stock options were dilutive, however, as there was a net loss attributable to Methanex shareholders, no adjustment was made to the denominator. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and the three months ended September 30, 2025, TSARs were not dilutive, resulting in no adjustment to the denominator. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 TSARs were dilutive, resulting in an adjustment to the denominator.
A reconciliation of the numerator used for the purposes of calculating diluted net income per common share is as follows:

(ii)Compensation expense related to SARs and TSARs:
Compensation expense for SARs and TSARs is measured based on their fair value and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value each period are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value at September 30, 2026 was $33.0 million compared to the recorded liability of $27.9 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $5.1 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.5 years. The weighted average fair value was estimated at September 30, 2026 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compensation expense related to SARs and TSARs included an expense in cost of sales and operating expense of $11.6 million (2025 - an expense of $5.9 million) and an expense of $30.8 million (2025 - a recovery of $9.3 million), respectively. This included an expense of $10.8 million (2025 - an expense of $5.3 million) and an expense of $26.3 million (2025 - a recovery of $14.0 million), related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 respectively.
b)Deferred, restricted and performance share units:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 10
Performance share units are redeemable for cash based on the market value of the Company's common shares and are non-dilutive to shareholders. Units vest over three years and include two equally weighted performance factors: (i) relative total shareholder return of Methanex shares versus a specific market index (the market performance factor) and (ii) three year average modified return on capital employed (the non-market performance factor). The market performance factor is measured by the Company at the grant date and reporting date using a Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine fair value. The non-market performance factor reflects management's best estimate to determine the expected number of units to vest. Based on these performance factors, the performance share unit payout will range between 0% to 200%.
Compensation expense for deferred, restricted and performance share units is measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company’s common shares and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value of deferred, restricted and performance share units at September 30, 2026 was $99.0 million compared to the recorded liability of $74.9 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $24.1 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.7 years.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compensation expense related to deferred, restricted and performance share units included in cost of sales and operating expenses was an expense of $29.3 million (2025 - an expense of $10.7 million) and an expense of $49.9 million (2025 - an expense of $2.0 million), respectively. This included an expense of $25.6 million (2025 - an expense of $7.8 million) and an expense of $33.2 million (2025 - a recovery of $11.6 million), related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 respectively.

8.Financial instruments:
Financial instruments are either measured at amortized cost or fair value.
In the normal course of business, the Company's assets, liabilities and forecasted transactions, as reported in U.S. dollars, are impacted by various market risks including, but not limited to, natural gas prices and currency exchange rates. The time frame and manner in which the Company manages those risks varies for each item based on the Company's assessment of the risk and the available alternatives for mitigating risks.
The Company uses derivatives as part of its risk management program to mitigate variability associated with changing market
METHANEX CORPORATION 2026 THIRD QUARTER
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 11
values. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded in earnings unless the instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company designates as cash flow hedges derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices and fluctuations in the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar.
The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on industry-accepted valuation models with those using market observable inputs classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and those using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3. The fair value of all of the Company's derivative contracts as presented in the consolidated statements of financial position are determined based on present values and the discount rates used are adjusted for credit risk. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income as the change in fair value of cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the forward element of certain forward contracts is recorded separately in other comprehensive income as the forward element is excluded from the hedging relationships. Once a commodity hedge settles, the amount realized during the period and not recognized immediately in the statement of income is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (equity) to inventory and ultimately through cost of goods sold. Foreign currency hedges settled, are realized during the period directly to the statement of income, reclassified from the statement of other comprehensive income.
Until settled, the fair value of Level 2 derivative financial instruments will fluctuate based on changes in commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates and the fair value of Level 3 derivative financial instruments will fluctuate based on changes in the observable and unobservable valuation model inputs.
North American natural gas forward contracts
The Company manages its exposure to changes in natural gas prices for a portion of its North American natural gas requirements by executing a number of fixed price forward contracts: both financial and physical.
The Company has entered into forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to changes in natural gas prices for Geismar and Beaumont. Natural gas is fungible across the Geismar and Beaumont plants. Other costs incurred to transport natural gas from the contracted delivery point to the relevant production facility represent an insignificant portion of the overall underlying risk and are recognized as incurred outside of the hedging relationship.

Fair value - Level 2 instruments
The fair value of the Company’s North American natural gas forward contracts and Euro forward exchange contracts are derivative financial instruments determined based on Bloomberg quoted market prices and confirmations received from counterparties, which are adjusted for credit risk.
The table below shows the nominal net cash flows for derivative hedging instruments, excluding credit risk adjustments, based upon contracted settlement dates. The amounts reflect the maturity profile of the hedging instruments and are subject to change based on the prevailing market rate at each of the future settlement dates. Financial asset derivative positions are held with investment-grade counterparties and therefore the settlement day risk exposure is considered to be minimal.
