Westlake Chemical Partners earnings beat EPS but miss revenue

Beat — EPS $0.46 vs ~$0.30 consensus

Westlake Chemical Partners earnings beat Q3 EPS expectations, while revenue fell short; stronger distributable cash flow lifted coverage to 1.09x.

Westlake Chemical Partners is a yield-oriented ethylene vehicle built around a 22.8% interest in OpCo and a long-term sales agreement that sends most production to Westlake at a fixed cash margin; that contract was already renewed through December 31, 2027, so the core stability story was known before this release.

The quarter beat on per-unit earnings, but not across the income statement. Q3 EPS of $0.46 was well above the published consensus of roughly $0.30, while revenue of $314.5 million missed the roughly $336.3 million expectation. The earnings beat appears to reflect the partnership’s cost structure and cash-flow mechanics more than a broad-based demand surprise.

Q3 2026Q3 2025Consensus
Revenue (Income Statement)$314.5M (-1.8%)$308.9M$336.3M
EPS (Income Statement)$0.46 (+9.5%)$0.42$0.30
EBITDA (EBITDA reconciliation)$128.3M (+1.8%)$126.1M
MLP distributable cash flow (DCF reconciliation)$18.0M (+20.8%)$14.9M
Coverage ratio (Distribution section)1.09x1.04x Q2 2026

The distribution is better covered, not higher. MLP distributable cash flow rose to $18.0 million, helped by higher production and sales volume plus lower maintenance capital expenditures, and trailing coverage improved to 1.09x from 1.04x. But the quarterly distribution remained $0.4714 per unit, so this strengthens payout protection rather than restarting distribution growth.

The improvement is operationally modest rather than a new growth phase. Net income attributable to the partnership increased $2.0 million sequentially, and EBITDA reached $128.3 million, but the quarter’s revenue was still below expectations and operating cash flow declined sequentially because working-capital changes became less favorable.

Bottom line: This was a mixed earnings release: a clear EPS and coverage beat, offset by a revenue miss and no distribution increase. It modestly reinforces the partnership’s stable-cash-flow story, but it does not materially change the business narrative.⟧
