Full report
Eastman’s performance-films business recorded lower sales volume/mix in the third quarter, according to its October 29 results. The release describes a year-over-year decline; prepared comments also report a decline from the second quarter.
The prepared comments link the sequential weakness to automotive demand, particularly in China. This is the company’s assessment, not an independent measure of the worldwide tint or PPF market.
Revenue for the wider Advanced Materials segment rose 5% year over year. It also includes specialty plastics and interlayers, so that is not film-only growth.
No film-only decline percentage or window-tint/PPF split was provided. Volume/mix combines quantity and product mix, not revenue. The October 30 earnings call remained upcoming.
