Eastman’s May 1, 2026 filing linked first-quarter charges to closing a production line at a German performance-films facility within its Advanced Materials segment.
It recorded US$3 million each in severance and restructuring, plus US$3 million in inventory adjustments charged to cost of sales, totaling US$9 million for the closure.
It does not identify the facility’s city, affected film brands or production capacity. The disclosure concerns one line, not an announced shutdown of an entire factory.
