AdvanSix Reports Reduced Production Rates at Its Manufacturing Facilities

January 17, 2018

PARSIPPANY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AdvanSix (NYSE:ASIX) announced today that it has experienced a
temporary production issue at its Hopewell, Virginia facility related to
the recent severe winter weather. As a result of this unplanned
interruption, caprolactam and resin production have been reduced at
their respective Hopewell and Chesterfield, Virginia facilities. The
Company expects to incur an approximately $30 to $35 million unfavorable
impact to pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2018, including the
unfavorable impact of fixed cost absorption, lost sales, maintenance
expense and incremental raw material costs. AdvanSix has informed its
customers of this force majeure event and is actively working to
mitigate the impact of the reduced output on its customers’ operations.

“We have been safely and diligently working to navigate through and
address the effects of significant weather volatility,” said president
and CEO Erin Kane. “We are confident in our action plan to resolve this
issue and expect the required mechanical work to be completed in
approximately two to three weeks.”

The unplanned interruption has no adverse impact on fourth quarter 2017
financial results. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company’s
operational performance was robust including completion of its planned
plant turnaround on time and on budget. AdvanSix will provide an update
and announce its fourth quarter and full year 2017 financial results in
its earnings release and conference call scheduled for February 23, 2018.
