1 Earnings Presentation 2Q 2026


 
2 Second Quarter 2026 Highlights • Higher global oil prices, as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, contributed to PEM’s 21% higher QoQ average sales price, particularly for polyethylene and PVC resin • PEM EBITDA margin expanded QoQ to 21% primarily due to a higher average sales price, 2% higher sales volume(3) and lower natural gas and ethane costs • HIP’s 6% YoY sales volume growth(3), driven by strong Pipe & Fittings demand, supported stable HIP EBITDA despite inflation in transportation and raw material costs • Three-pillar profitability improvement plan delivered ~$150 million of YoY EBITDA benefit in 2Q’26 towards our $600 million full year target • Acquisition of VCM/PVC site in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, with deep-water port access improves the regional competitiveness of our European chlorovinyls business • Retired $500 million of Senior Notes supporting investment-grade rated balance sheet (1) Reconciliation of EBITDA to the applicable GAAP measure can be found on page 11 (2) Includes investments in available-for-sale securities (3) Excludes the impact of plant closures and the ACI acquisition. Certain of PEM's North America chlorovinyls production facilities ceased operations in December 2025, including (i) the polyvinyl chloride plant at the Aberdeen, Mississippi facility, (ii) the vinyl chloride monomer plant at the Lake Charles, Louisiana North facility and (iii) a diaphragm chlor-alkali unit at the Lake Charles, Louisiana South facility, as well as the styrene production plant located at the Lake Charles, Louisiana facility. The PVC resin production unit owned by the Huasu joint venture ceased operations in June 2025. In January 2026, HIP completed the acquisition of ACI. 2Q 2026 Financial Results $679M EBITDA(1) $3.3B Net Sales $1.9B Cash, Equivalents and Investments(2) Significant net income and EBITDA improvement

5 Housing and Infrastructure Products Update 2 Longer-term housing fundamentals remain strong due to decade-plus of under-building, increasingly favorable demographics and popularity of remote work 3 Our 2026 outlook for exterior building products sales volume reflects additional pressure on home affordability from higher building and borrowing costs, but our housing products business continues to outperform a soft market for new home construction 4 Pipe & fittings sales volume growth is supported by higher levels of U.S. infrastructure spending, including data centers 1 The diversity of HIP’s businesses (including housing products, pipe & fittings and compounds) is delivering sales and earnings growth at a time of lower North American residential construction activity

Performance and Essential Materials (“PEM”) Segment Performance(1) Lower QoQ and YoY natural gas and ethane costs benefited EBITDA margin 2Q'26 1Q'26 QoQ% 2Q'25 YoY% Performance Materials Sales $1,236 $1,003 23% $1,022 21% Essential Materials Sales $783 $656 19% $771 2% Total PEM Sales $2,019 $1,659 22% $1,793 13% Operating Income (Loss)(1) $185 ($194) N.M. ($188) N.M. EBITDA(1,2) $416 $36 1,056% $52 700% EBITDA Margin (1,3) 21% 2% - 3% - ($ in millions)


 
7 Performance and Essential Materials Update 2 Selling prices, particularly for polyethylene and PVC resin, have exhibited a high degree of volatility in 2026 due to the significant moves in oil prices as a result of the conflict in the Middle East 3 Westlake’s high degree of product integration and large offtake of PVC resin to the HIP segment provide less exposure to weaker economies outside North America 4 The significant majority of the company-wide EBITDA uplift in 2026 from our three-pillar profitability improvement plan is expected to benefit PEM; improved reliability and production drove higher sales volume in 2Q’26 with an expectation for this to continue in 2H’26 1 Energy and feedstock advantages in North America (~85% of our global production capacity) and our high degree of vertical integration relative to the global industry positions us to benefit from the steepening global cost curve and serve our customers well
