CVR Partners Q2 Net Income Doubles, Declares $6.08 Distribution
UAN sits 46% above its 52-week low of $84.13.
Summary
CVR Partners reported Q2 net income more than doubled year-over-year, driven by a 33% jump in ammonia prices and 24% rise in UAN prices amid constrained global supply. The company achieved 99% ammonia utilization and declared a $6.08 per unit cash distribution, up from $4.00 in Q1. Q2 sales reached $202.2 million. Q3 guidance calls for utilization of 75-80%, direct operating expenses of $57-62 million, and capex of $40-49 million, suggesting some moderation from Q2's peak. The strong pricing environment and high utilization underscore robust near-term cash generation, though the lower Q3 utilization forecast may temper expectations.
At the time of this announcement, UAN was trading at $122.56 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.3B. The 52-week trading range was $84.13 to $139.50.
