Albemarle Corporation Expects Lithium Volume Shift from Q1; Reaffirms Full Year Guidance
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle Corporation (ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals industry, announced today that its Lithium segment expects a shift of approximately 3,000 – 3,500 metric tons on an LCE basis in volume from Q1 2019 to subsequent quarters in 2019. The volume shortfall in the quarter was primarily due to the timing of customer qualifications of lithium hydroxide from Xinyu II and lithium carbonate from toll manufacturers, as well as production issues at the company's La Negra, Chile, site due to the disruption in the supply of fresh water as a result of the rain event in Chile earlier in the year. Albemarle expects this volume shortfall to be recovered during the remainder of 2019. As a result, Albemarle reaffirms its full year guidance provided during its Q4 2018 earnings announcement. Full year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $6.10 - $6.50 represents a pro forma growth rate of 12% - 20% over 2018. The company continues to expect the cadence of earnings to ramp through the year as new lithium capacity comes on line.
