GEISMAR 3 ("G3") PRODUCES FIRST METHANOL AND METHANEX REPORTS HIGHER SECOND QUARTER 2024 EARNINGS

•Net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $164 million in the second quarter. Our average realized price in the second quarter was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024.

•The repairs to the autothermal reformer are complete on the 1.8 million tonne methanol plant, Geismar 3 ("G3"). First methanol was successfully produced in late July and the plant is in the process of ramping up to full rates. G3 will significantly enhance our cash flow capability at a range of methanol prices and will have one of the lowest emission intensity profiles in the industry.

•Produced 1.4 million tonnes in the second quarter.

◦In Chile, based on production year to date, a successful turnaround at Chile IV, and progress we have made in securing gas for the winter months, we expect 2024 production will be slightly above the high-end of our guidance of 1.1-1.2 million tonnes.

◦Since June 2024, the Egypt plant has experienced reduced operating rates due to lower availability of natural gas. The plant is currently operating with rate limitations based on gas availability and we expect this could continue through the third quarter.

◦In New Zealand, we operated at reduced rates and based on production year to date and current gas deliveries, we expect 2024 production will be below our previous guidance of 1.0 - 1.1 million tonnes.

•Returned $12.5 million to shareholders through regular dividends and ended the second quarter with $426 million in cash.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - For the second quarter of 2024, Methanex (TSX:MX) (NASDAQ:MEOH) reported net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million ($0.52 net income per common share on a diluted basis) compared to net income of $53 million ($0.77 net income per common share on a diluted basis) in the first quarter of 2024. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was lower compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower sales of Methanex-produced methanol and the negative impact of the mark-to-market portion of share-based compensation due to changes in Methanex's share price, offset by a higher average realized price and by the one-time impact of the cost of the ineffective portion of natural gas hedges at our Geismar site recognized during the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $164 million and Adjusted net income was $42 million ($0.62 Adjusted net income per common share). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $160 million and Adjusted net income of $44 million ($0.65 Adjusted net income per common share) for the first quarter of 2024.

Our average realized price in the second quarter was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024. In the second quarter, the methanol market was tight. Growing demand from seasonal manufacturing, construction and transportation activities coupled with constrained global methanol production led to lower inventory levels and increasing methanol prices through the quarter.

In the second quarter, we returned $12.5 million to shareholders through the regular dividend. We ended the quarter with $426 million in cash, or approximately $390 million in cash excluding non-controlling interests and including our share of cash in the Atlas joint venture. We also have an undrawn $500 million revolving credit facility to provide additional financial flexibility.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER NEWS RELEASE PAGE 1

Rich Sumner, President & CEO of Methanex, said, "I am excited to announce another quarter of solid financial results and first methanol production at G3. The safety performance of our team and partners on the G3 project has been outstanding and I would like to extend my personal thanks to the team for their hard work and dedication to completing this project safely. As G3 ramps up to full rates and is incorporated into our supply chain, we expect to see strong cash flow contribution which will further enhance our business."

1 Methanex-produced methanol represents our equity share of volume produced at our facilities and excludes volume marketed on a commission basis related to the 36.9% of the Atlas facility and 50% of the Egypt facility that we do not own.

2 Methanex average non-discounted posted price represents the average of our non-discounted posted prices in North America, Europe, China and Asia Pacific weighted by sales volume. Current and historical pricing information is available at www.methanex.com.

3 The Company has used Average realized price ("ARP") throughout this document. ARP is calculated as revenue divided by the total sales volume. It is used by management to assess the realized price per unit of methanol sold, and is relevant in a cyclical commodity environment where revenue can fluctuate in response to market prices.

4 Note that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and ratios that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to the Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures section on page 14 of our second quarter MD&A dated July 30, 2024 for a description of each non-GAAP measure.

▪We recorded net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $53 million in the first quarter of 2024. Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was lower compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower sales of Methanex-produced methanol and the negative impact of the mark-to-market portion of share-based compensation due to changes in Methanex's share price, offset by a higher average realized price and by the one-time impact of the cost of the ineffective portion of natural gas hedges at our Geismar site recognized during the first quarter of 2024.

▪We recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $164 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $160 million for the first quarter of 2024. We recorded Adjusted net income of $42 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to Adjusted net income of $44 million for the first quarter of 2024.

▪We sold 2,612,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2,670,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Sales of Methanex-produced methanol were 1,580,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 1,681,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024.

▪Production for the second quarter of 2024 was 1,422,000 tonnes compared to 1,721,000 tonnes for the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 mainly due to lower production in Chile and New Zealand which was partially offset by higher production in Egypt.

▪The repairs to the autothermal reformer are complete on the 1.8 million tonne methanol plant, Geismar 3 ("G3"). First methanol was successfully produced in late July and the plant is in the process of ramping up to full rates. G3 will significantly enhance our cash flow capability at a range of methanol prices and will have one of the lowest emission intensity profiles in the industry.

▪In the second quarter of 2024 we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share for a total of $12.5 million.

▪At June 30, 2024, we had a strong liquidity position including a cash balance of $426 million, or approximately $390 million excluding non-controlling interests and including our share of cash in the Atlas joint venture. We have $500 million of undrawn facilities providing financial flexibility.

1The operating capacity of our production facilities may be higher or lower than original nameplate capacity as, over time, these figures have been adjusted to reflect ongoing operating efficiencies at these facilities. Actual production for a facility in any given year may be higher or lower than operating capacity due to a number of factors, including natural gas availability, feedstock composition, the age of the facility's catalyst, turnarounds and access to CO2 from external suppliers for certain facilities. We review and update the operating capacity of our production facilities on a regular basis based on historical performance.

2The operating capacity of New Zealand is made up of the two Motunui facilities. Refer to the New Zealand section below.

3The operating capacity of Trinidad is made up of the Titan (100% interest) and Atlas (63.1% interest) facilities. Refer to the Trinidad section below.

Key production and operational highlights during the second quarter include:

United States

Geismar produced 514,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 571,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter as we pro-actively took a short maintenance outage which is expected to improve operating performance until the next planned turnaround.

New Zealand

New Zealand produced 178,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 277,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production in the second quarter was lower compared to the first quarter due to lower gas deliveries. We operated one plant through the second quarter due to both lower-than-expected gas deliveries from upstream suppliers as well as from the redirection of some of our contractual gas for use in the power sector. The country’s overall energy balances are currently very tight with demand seasonally high during the Southern hemisphere winter combined with low hydro levels and relatively lower gas supply in 2024 compared with previous years. As a result, we believe some of our contractual gas has been re-directed to the electricity and other domestic markets. We are in continuing discussions with our gas suppliers to ensure our contractual entitlements are being respected as well as engaging with our gas suppliers and government agencies in supporting efforts to improve energy balances in the country. Based on production year to date and current gas deliveries, we expect 2024 production will be below our previous guidance of 1.0 million tonnes.

Trinidad

Atlas produced 231,000 tonnes (Methanex interest) in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 258,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter due to two unplanned outages during the quarter. In October 2023, Methanex signed a two-year natural gas supply agreement with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) for its currently idled, wholly owned, Titan methanol plant (875,000 tonnes per year capacity) to restart operations in September 2024. Simultaneously, the Atlas plant (Methanex interest 63.1% or 1,085,000 tonnes per year capacity) will be idled in September 2024, when its legacy 20-year natural gas supply agreement expires. We are planning for the Titan restart with minimal capital required.

Chile

Chile produced 229,000 tonnes in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 391,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024. Production was lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter as we primarily operated one plant due to to lower seasonal gas supply from Argentina. We successfully completed a turnaround at Chile IV and expect the new catalyst will drive improved efficiency and production in the fall. Based on production year to date, a successful turnaround at Chile IV, and progress we have made securing gas from Argentina for the non-winter period this year, we expect 2024 production will be

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER NEWS RELEASE PAGE 5

slightly above the high-end of our guidance of 1.2 million tonnes. This production is underpinned by year-round natural gas supply from Chile for about 30 – 35% of our requirements with the remaining 65 – 70% being delivered from Argentina during the Southern hemisphere non-winter months. Natural gas development and related infrastructure investments in Argentina continue to progress and we are working with our natural gas suppliers on extending the period of full gas availability to our plants.

Egypt

Egypt produced 258,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 129,000 tonnes) in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 166,000 tonnes (Methanex interest - 83,000 tonnes) in the first quarter of 2024. Production increased compared to the first quarter as the plant restarted and reached full operating rates in February after an unplanned outage in mid-October caused by a mechanical failure in the synthesis gas compressor. In June 2024, the Egypt plant was temporarily idled when significantly increased seasonal demand for power generation due to elevated temperatures led to various measures by the government to manage gas balances in the country including gas curtailments to industrial plants. The plant restarted at reduced operating rates shortly thereafter and has operated at fluctuating rates based on gas availability with current operating rates at approximately 80%. There has been some stabilization of gas balances in the country but some continued limitations on supply are expected through the third quarter.

Canada

Medicine Hat produced 141,000 tonnes in each of the second and first quarters of 2024.

Outlook

Our expected production guidance for 2024 is approximately 7 million tonnes (Methanex interest). Actual production may vary by quarter based on gas availability in Chile and New Zealand, the start up of the G3 plant, turnarounds, other gas availability, unplanned outages and unanticipated events.

In the third quarter, we expect lower earnings due to lower produced sales because of lower production from Chile and New Zealand, as well as G3 building inventory. Based on our July and August posted prices we expect that our average realized price range is between approximately $350 to $360 per tonne for these two months.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 4

made securing gas from Argentina for the non-winter period this year, we expect 2024 production will be slightly above the high-end of our guidance of 1.2 million tonnes. This production is underpinned by year-round natural gas supply from Chile for about 30 – 35% of our requirements with the remaining 65 – 70% being delivered from Argentina during the Southern hemisphere non-winter months. Natural gas development and related infrastructure investments in Argentina continue to progress and we are working with our natural gas suppliers on extending the period of full gas availability to our plants.

Medicine Hat produced 141,000 tonnes in each of the second and first quarters of 2024.

Outlook

FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the second quarter of 2024, we reported net income attributable to Methanex shareholders of $35 million ($0.52 net income per common share on a diluted basis) compared to net income attributable to Methanex shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 of $53 million ($0.77 net income per common share on a diluted basis) and net income attributable to Methanex shareholders for the second quarter of 2023 of $57 million ($0.73 net income per common share on a diluted basis). Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was lower compared to the prior quarter primarily due to lower sales of Methanex-produced methanol and the negative impact of the mark-to-market portion of share-based compensation due to changes in Methanex's share price, offset by a higher average realized price and by the one-time impact of the cost of the ineffective portion of natural gas hedges at our Geismar site recognized during the first quarter of 2024. Net income was lower compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to lower sales of Methanex-produced methanol as well as the negative impact of the mark-to-market portion of share-based compensation due to changes in Methanex's share price in the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a higher average realized price in the second quarter of 2024.

For the second quarter of 2024, we recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $164 million and Adjusted net income of $42 million ($0.62 Adjusted net income per common share). This compares with Adjusted EBITDA of $160 million and Adjusted net income of $44 million ($0.65 Adjusted net income per common share) for the first quarter of 2024 and Adjusted EBITDA of $160 million and Adjusted net income of $41 million ($0.60 Adjusted net income per common share) for the second quarter of 2023.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income by including amounts related to our equity share of the Atlas facility (63.1% interest) and by excluding the non-controlling interests' share, the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation as a result of changes in our share price, the impact of the Egypt gas contract revaluation included in finance income and other and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. Refer to Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures on page 14 for a further discussion on how we calculate these measures. Our analysis of depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other and income taxes is consistent with the presentation of our consolidated statements of income and excludes amounts related to Atlas.

We review our financial results by analyzing changes in Adjusted EBITDA, mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gas contract settlement, finance costs, finance income and other and income taxes. A summary of our consolidated statements of income is as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA

Our operations consist of a single operating segment - the production and sale of methanol. We review the results of operations by analyzing changes in the components of Adjusted EBITDA. For a discussion of the definitions used in our Adjusted EBITDA analysis, refer to How We Analyze Our Business on page 18. Changes in these components - average realized price, sales volume and total cash costs - similarly impact net income attributable to Methanex shareholders. The changes in Adjusted EBITDA resulted from changes in the following:


($ millions)	Q2 2024 compared with Q1 2024		Q2 2024 compared with Q2 2023		YTD Q2 2024 compared with YTD Q2 2023

Average realized price


	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
($ per tonne)	Jun 30 2024	Mar 31 2024	Jun 30 2023	Jun 30 2024	Jun 30 2023
Methanex average non-discounted posted price	499	471	450	485	460
Methanex average realized price	352	343	338	348	354

Methanex’s average realized price for the second quarter of 2024 was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024 and $338 per tonne in the second quarter of 2023, resulting in an increase of $22 million and an increase of $35 million in Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our average realized price was $348 per tonne compared to $354 per tonne for the same period in 2023, decreasing Adjusted EBITDA by $34 million. Growing demand from seasonal manufacturing, construction and transportation activities coupled with constrained global methanol production led to lower inventory levels and increasing methanol prices through the quarter. Refer to the Supply/Demand Fundamentals section on page 12 of the MD&A for more information.

Sales volume

Methanol sales volume excluding commission sales volume in the second quarter of 2024 was 142,000 tonnes lower than the first quarter of 2024 and 159,000 tonnes lower than the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in sales volume in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $12 million. The decrease in sales volume for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $12 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, methanol sales volume excluding commission sales volume was 168,000 tonnes lower, decreasing Adjusted EBITDA by $13 million. Sales volume may vary quarter to quarter depending on customer requirements and inventory levels as well as the available commission sales volume.

Geismar 3 delay costs

The operating costs related to the delay in start-up of our Geismar 3 project include organizational build-up, take-or-pay obligations on utilities contracts as well as additional recognition of gas hedges. The total delay costs were $12 million lower in second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and $8 million higher compared to the second quarter of 2023 as detailed below.

Over-hedged gas costs	—		16		—		16		—
Total	$	13	$	25	$	5	$	12	$	(8)

Over-hedged gas costs

Due to the delayed start-up of the Geismar 3 plant, a portion of our existing natural gas hedges exceeded the expected Geismar site production requirements which resulted in an over-hedged gas cost associated with the delay of $16 million which was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 and which covered the entire period of the anticipated delay. As a result, no further over-hedged gas costs were recorded in the second quarter of 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 9 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Total cash costs

The primary drivers of changes in our total cash costs are changes in the cost of Methanex-produced methanol and changes in the cost of methanol we purchase from others ("purchased methanol"). We supplement our production with methanol produced by others through methanol offtake contracts and purchases on the spot market to meet customer needs and to support our marketing efforts within the major global markets.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 7

We apply the first-in, first-out method of accounting for inventories and it generally takes between 30 and 60 days to sell the methanol we produce or purchase. Accordingly, the changes in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in Methanex-produced and purchased methanol costs primarily depend on changes in methanol pricing and the timing of inventory flows.

In a rising price environment, our margins at a given price are higher than in a stable price environment as a result of timing of methanol purchases and production versus sales. Generally, the opposite applies when methanol prices are decreasing.

The changes in Adjusted EBITDA due to changes in total cash costs were due to the following:


($ millions)	Q2 2024 compared with Q1 2024		Q2 2024 compared with Q2 2023		YTD Q2 2024 compared with YTD Q2 2023

Other, net	(11)		(12)		(13)
Increase (decrease) in Adjusted EBITDA due to changes in total cash costs	$	(18)	$	(11)	$	18

Methanex-produced methanol costs

Natural gas is the primary feedstock at our methanol facilities and is the most significant component of Methanex-produced methanol costs. We purchase natural gas for more than half of our production under agreements where the unique terms of each contract include a base price and a variable price component linked to methanol price to reduce our commodity price risk exposure. The variable price component is adjusted by a formula linked to methanol sales prices above a certain level. We also purchase natural gas in North America and are exposed to natural gas spot price fluctuations for the unhedged portion of our gas needs in the region.

For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, higher Methanex-produced methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $3 million. For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, lower Methanex-produced methanol costs increased Adjusted EBITDA by $5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, lower Methanex-produced methanol costs increased Adjusted EBITDA by $28 million. Changes in Methanex-produced methanol costs for all periods presented are primarily due to the impact of changes in realized methanol prices on the variable portion of our natural gas cost, changes in spot gas prices which impact the unhedged portion of our North American operations, timing of inventory flows and changes in the mix of production sold from inventory.

Proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales

The cost of purchased methanol is linked to the selling price for methanol at the time of purchase and the cost of purchased methanol is generally higher than the cost of Methanex-produced methanol. Accordingly, an increase (decrease) in the proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales results in a decrease (increase) in our overall cost structure for a given period. The proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales was similar for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, a higher proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales increased Adjusted EBITDA by $6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, a higher proportion of Methanex-produced methanol sales increased Adjusted EBITDA by $10 million.

Purchased methanol costs

Changes in purchased methanol costs for all periods presented are primarily a result of changes in methanol pricing and the timing of purchases sold from inventory, as well as the volume and regional mix of sourcing for purchased methanol. For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024, the impact of higher purchased methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $14 million. For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, the impact of higher purchased methanol costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, lower purchased methanol costs increased Adjusted EBITDA by $15 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 8

Logistics costs

Logistics costs include the cost of transportation, storage and handling of product, and can vary from period to period primarily depending on the levels of production from each of our production facilities, the resulting impact on our supply chain, and variability in bunker fuel costs. Logistics costs for the second quarter of 2024, compared with the first quarter of 2024, increased Adjusted EBITDA by $10 million. For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, logistics costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $3 million. Logistics costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $22 million higher compared to the same period in 2023. Changes in logistics costs are impacted by the mix of production from various plants and the impact on ocean freight of longer supply routes. The lower costs compared with the first quarter of 2024 reflects a return to normalized logistics operations following the increased costs caused by the outage at our Egypt facility in the first quarter of 2024.

Other, net

Other, net relates to unabsorbed fixed costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and other operational items. Other costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $11 million during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $12 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with the same period in 2023, other costs decreased Adjusted EBITDA by $13 million. The increase in other costs is primarily driven by the decrease in production, which caused higher unabsorbed costs to be recorded in the second quarter of 2024.

Mark-to-Market Impact of Share-based Compensation

We grant share-based awards as an element of compensation. Share-based awards granted include stock options, share appreciation rights, tandem share appreciation rights, deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units. For all share-based awards, share-based compensation is recognized over the related vesting period for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. Share-based compensation includes an amount related to the grant-date value and a mark-to-market impact as a result of subsequent changes in the fair value of the share-based awards primarily driven by the Company’s share price. The grant-date value amount is included in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income. The mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation as a result of changes in our share price is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income and analyzed separately.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $101 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $95 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $95 million for the second quarter of 2023. Compared to prior quarters, depreciation and amortization in second quarter of 2024 was higher due to the lower amounts of depreciation capitalized in the ending inventory. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $196 million compared to $193 million in the same period in 2023.

Income Taxes

A summary of our income taxes for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is as follows:

1 Adjusted net income before income tax reflects amounts required for the inclusion of 63.1% of Atlas income, 50% of Egypt and 60% of Waterfront Shipping, as well as amounts required to exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation expense or recovery, the impact of the Egypt gas contract revaluation. The most directly comparable measure in the financial statements is net income before tax.

2 Adjusted income tax expense reflects amounts required for the inclusion of 63.1% of Atlas income, 50% of Egypt and 60% of Waterfront Shipping, as well as amounts required to exclude the tax impact of mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation expense or recovery, and the impact of the Egypt gas contract revaluation calculated at the appropriate applicable tax rate for their respective jurisdictions. The most directly comparable measure in the financial statements is income tax expense.

3 Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated as adjusted income tax expense or recovery, divided by adjusted net income before tax.

4 Adjusted net income before income tax and Adjusted income tax expense are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP ratio. These do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management uses these to assess the effective tax rate. These measures and ratios are useful as they are a better measure of our underlying tax rate across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We earn the majority of our income in the United States, New Zealand, Trinidad, Chile, Egypt and Canada. Including applicable withholding taxes, the statutory tax rate applicable to Methanex in the United States is 22%, New Zealand is 28%, Trinidad is 38%, Chile is 35%, Egypt is 30% and Canada is 24.5%. We accrue for withholding taxes that will be incurred upon distributions from our subsidiaries when it is probable that the earnings will be repatriated. As the Atlas entity is accounted for using the equity method, any income taxes related to Atlas are included in earnings of associate and therefore excluded from total income taxes but included in the calculation of Adjusted net income.

The effective tax rate based on Adjusted net income was 24% for the second quarter of 2024 and 20% for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income represents the amount that is attributable to Methanex shareholders and excludes the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. The effective tax rate differs from period to period depending on the source of earnings and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations against the United States dollar.

SUPPLY/DEMAND FUNDAMENTALS

Demand

Global methanol demand increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024. Higher demand for traditional chemical and energy-related applications was driven by increased economic activity globally and seasonally higher demand from manufacturing, construction and transportation activities. In the second half of the quarter, methanol-to-olefin (MTO) demand decreased as several MTO units took maintenance or lowered operating rates in line with methanol market supply constraints and increasing methanol prices.

Over the long term, we believe that traditional chemical demand for methanol is influenced by the strength of global and regional economies and industrial production levels. We believe that demand for energy-related applications will be influenced by energy prices, pricing of end products, and government policies that are playing an increasing role in encouraging new applications for methanol due to its emissions benefits as a fuel. The demand outlook for methanol as a marine fuel continues to grow. Based on current dual-fueled vessels operating coupled with the order book for new builds and retrofits, there will be over 300 ships capable of running on methanol on the water in the next five years. Actual methanol consumption from marine applications will depend on regulations, relative economics versus other fuels, and other factors. The future operating rates and methanol consumption from MTO producers will depend on a number of factors including the pricing for their various final products, the degree of downstream integration of these units with other products, the impact of olefin industry feedstock costs, including naphtha, on relative competitiveness and plant maintenance schedules.

Supply

In the second quarter, global methanol operating rates increased slightly with higher operating rates from Iran and China being partially offset by plant outages and gas restrictions in the Atlantic basin. Coupled with growing demand this led to tight inventory levels and increasing methanol prices.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 12

We expect limited capacity additions in the next five years. In North America, our new 1.8 million tonne Geismar 3 facility successfully produced first methanol in late July and is in the process of ramping up to full rates. In Malaysia, a 1.8 million tonne plant has announced it will be starting up in 2024. We expect increased supply from new capacities to be partially offset by rationalization of existing supply in the market in 2024. With the shutdown of Atlas and the restart of Titan in September 2024 the overall production in Trinidad will be lower by approximately 1 million tonnes annually and we continue to monitor other factors that could further impact supply such as the announced gas diversion from methanol to LNG in Equatorial Guinea. In China and Iran, there are planned capacity additions over the near-to-medium term which we expect will be somewhat offset by the closure of some small-scale, inefficient and older plants or feedstock constraints. New capacity built in China is expected to be consumed domestically as China requires methanol imports to meet growing demand.

Methanol Price

Our average realized price in the second quarter of 2024 was $352 per tonne compared to $343 per tonne in the first quarter of 2024.

Future methanol prices will depend on the strength of the global economy, industry operating rates, global energy prices, new supply additions and the strength of global demand.

The following table outlines our recent regional non-discounted posted prices. Methanol is a global commodity and future methanol prices are directly impacted by changes in methanol supply and demand. Based on the diversity of end products in which methanol is used, demand for methanol is driven by a number of factors including: strength of global and regional economies, industrial production levels, energy and derivatives prices, pricing of end products and government regulations and policies. Methanol industry supply is impacted by the cost and availability of feedstock, methanol industry operating rates and new methanol industry capacity additions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We operate in a highly competitive commodity industry and therefore are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. At June 30, 2024, our cash balance was $426 million, or approximately $390 million excluding non-controlling interest portion of $45 million but including our share of cash held by the Atlas joint venture of $9 million. We invest our cash only in highly rated instruments that have maturities of three months or less to ensure preservation of capital and appropriate liquidity. We continuously evaluate the liquidity requirements needed to achieve our strategic objectives, including our capital expenditures.

We have access to a $500 million committed revolving credit facility, which is with a syndicate of highly rated financial institutions. We have a $300 million bond due in December 2024 and our intent remains to repay rather than re-finance this debt.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS PAGE 13

A summary of our sources and uses of cash for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
($ millions)	Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023		Variance		Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023		Variance
Cash provided by operating activities	$	163	$	196	$	(33)	$	246	$	359	$	(113)
Cash used in financing activities	(134)		(198)		64		(214)		(313)		99
Cash used in investing activities	(10)		(132)		122		(64)		(258)		194
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	19	$	(134)	$	153	$	(32)	$	(212)	$	180

Cash flows from operating activities in the second quarter of 2024 were $163 million compared to $196 million for the second quarter of 2023. Cash flows from operating activities were lower in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to changes in working capital.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the second quarter of 2024 were $134 million compared to $198 million for the second quarter of 2023. The higher cash outflows in the second quarter of 2023 primarily related to payments for shares repurchased under our normal course issuer bid.

In the second quarter of 2024 we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per common share for a total of $12.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities relates to capital spend on maintenance and major projects including our Geismar 3 plant and a repayment of long-term loan receivable from Atlas. For more information on our capital projects, please see Capital Projects and Growth Opportunities below.

Capital Projects and Growth Opportunities

The Geismar 3 ("G3") plant successfully produced first methanol in late July with the total capital cost expected to be slightly less than $1.30 billion, excluding fixed costs related to the delay. The remaining cash capital expenditure of approximately $30 million is fully funded with cash on hand.

Our planned operational capital expenditure directed towards maintenance, turnarounds, and catalyst changes, including our 63.1% share of Atlas and 50% of Egypt, is currently estimated to be approximately $80 million for the remainder of 2024.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the second quarter of 2024, no changes were made in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – NON-GAAP MEASURES

In addition to providing measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, we present certain additional non-GAAP measures and ratios throughout this document. These are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per common share, Adjusted net income before income tax, Adjusted income tax expense, and Adjusted effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures and ratios reflect our 63.1% economic interest in the Atlas Facility, our 50% economic interest in the Egypt Facility and our 60% economic interest in Waterfront Shipping, and are useful as they are a better measure of our underlying performance, and assist in assessing the operating performance of the Company's business. These measures, at our share of our facilities, are a better measure of our underlying performance, as we fully run the operations on our partners' behalf, despite having less than full share of the economic interest. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by securities analysts and investors when comparing our results with those of other companies. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These supplemental non-GAAP measures and ratios are provided to assist readers in determining our ability to generate cash from operations and improve the comparability of our results from one period to another.

These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, net income and revenue reported in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net income attributable to Methanex shareholders, because it excludes the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, gas contract settlement, finance costs, finance income and other and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA includes an amount representing our 63.1% share of the Atlas facility and excludes the non-controlling shareholders' interests in entities which we control but do not fully own.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation related to the impact of changes in our share price on SARs, TSARs, deferred share units, restricted share units and performance share units. The mark-to-market impact related to share-based compensation that is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income is calculated as the difference between the grant-date value and the fair value recorded at each period-end. As share-based awards will be settled in future periods, the ultimate value of the units is unknown at the date of grant and therefore the grant-date value recognized in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may differ from the total settlement cost.

The following table shows a reconciliation from net income attributable to Methanex shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
($ millions)	Jun 30 2024		Mar 31 2024		Jun 30 2023		Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Common Share

Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share are a non-GAAP measure and a non-GAAP ratio, respectively, because they exclude the mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, the impact of the Egypt gas contract revaluation included in finance income and other and the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. The following table shows a reconciliation of net income attributable to Methanex shareholders to Adjusted net income and the calculation of Adjusted net income per common share:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
($ millions except number of shares and per share amounts)	Jun 30 2024		Mar 31 2024		Jun 30 2023		Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023
Net income attributable to Methanex shareholders	$	35	$	53	$	57	$	88	$	116
Mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, net of tax	7		(9)		(13)		(2)		5

Impact of Egypt gas contract revaluation, net of tax	—		—		(3)		—		(4)
Adjusted net income	$	42	$	44	$	41	$	86	$	117
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding (millions)	67		68		68		68		68
Adjusted net income per common share	$	0.62	$	0.65	$	0.60	$	1.27	$	1.70

Management uses these measures to analyze net income and net income per common share after adjusting for our economic interest in the Atlas and Egypt facilities and Waterfront Shipping, for reasons as described above. The exclusion of the mark-to-market portion of the impact of share-based compensation is due to these amounts not being seen as indicative of operational performance and can fluctuate in the intervening periods until settlement. The exclusion of the impact of the Egypt gas contract revaluation is due to the change in the derivative being unrealized with the fair value of the derivative expected to fluctuate in the intervening periods until settlement.

HOW WE ANALYZE OUR BUSINESS

Our operations consist of a single operating segment - the production and sale of methanol. We review our financial results by analyzing changes in the components of Adjusted EBITDA, mark-to-market impact of share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other and income taxes.

The Company has used the terms Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share throughout this document. These items are non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Refer to the Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures section on page 14 for a description of each non-GAAP measure and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

In addition to the methanol that we produce at our facilities, we also purchase and re-sell methanol produced by others and we sell methanol on a commission basis. We analyze the results of all methanol sales together, excluding commission sales volume. The key drivers of changes in Adjusted EBITDA are average realized price, cash costs and sales volume, which are defined and calculated as follows:


PRICE			The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in average realized price is calculated as the difference from period to period in the selling price of methanol multiplied by the current period total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume.
CASH COSTS			The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in cash costs is calculated as the difference from period to period in cash costs per tonne multiplied by the current period total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume in the current period. The cash costs per tonne is the weighted average of the cash cost per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol and the cash cost per tonne of purchased methanol. The cash cost per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol includes absorbed fixed cash costs per tonne and variable cash costs per tonne. The cash cost per tonne of purchased methanol consists principally of the cost of methanol itself. In addition, the change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in cash costs includes the changes from period to period in unabsorbed fixed production costs, consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses and fixed storage and handling costs.
SALES VOLUME			The change in Adjusted EBITDA as a result of changes in sales volume is calculated as the difference from period to period in total methanol sales volume, excluding commission sales volume, multiplied by the margin per tonne for the prior period. The margin per tonne for the prior period is the weighted average margin per tonne of Methanex-produced methanol and margin per tonne of purchased methanol. The margin per tonne for Methanex-produced methanol is calculated as the selling price per tonne of methanol less absorbed fixed cash costs per tonne and variable cash costs per tonne. The margin per tonne for purchased methanol is calculated as the selling price per tonne of methanol less the cost of purchased methanol per tonne.

We own 63.1% of the Atlas methanol facility and market the remaining 36.9% of its production through a commission offtake agreement. A contractual agreement between us and our partners establishes joint control over Atlas. As a result, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting, which results in 63.1% of the net assets and net earnings of Atlas being presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of income, respectively. For purposes of analyzing our business, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share include an amount representing our 63.1% equity share in Atlas. Our analysis of depreciation and amortization, finance costs, finance income and other and income taxes is consistent with the presentation of our consolidated statements of income and excludes amounts related to Atlas.

We own 50% of the 1.26 million tonne per year Egypt methanol facility and market the remaining 50% of its production through a commission offtake agreement. We own 60% of Waterfront Shipping, which provides service to Methanex for the ocean freight component of our distribution and logistics costs. We consolidate both Egypt and Waterfront Shipping, which results in 100% of the financial results being included in our financial statements. Non-controlling interests are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and represent the non-controlling shareholders’ interests in the Egypt methanol facility and Waterfront Shipping. For purposes of analyzing our business, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per common share exclude the amounts associated with non-controlling interests.

Methanex Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)

Except where otherwise noted, tabular dollar amounts are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.

1. Basis of presentation:

Methanex Corporation ("the Company") is an incorporated entity with corporate offices in Vancouver, Canada. The Company’s operations consist of the production and sale of methanol, a commodity chemical. The Company is the world’s largest producer and supplier of methanol to the major international markets of Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and South America.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements except for the adoption of amendments effective January 1, 2024 to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements regarding the classification of liabilities as current or non-current, IFRS 16, Leases regarding sale-and-leaseback transactions and IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows regarding supplier finance arrangements. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Pillar Two model rules were published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“Pillar Two rules”) and establish a global minimum fifteen percent top-up tax regime. Pillar Two rules were implemented in Canada and are effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2024. The Company is in scope of the proposed legislation. In May 2023, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, establishing a mandatory exception for recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes related to the Pillar Two rules. The amendment also includes current tax disclosure requirements in the periods the rules are effective. The Company has adopted the IAS 12 amendment and our 2024 results do not indicate any significant amount of Pillar Two top-up taxes.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit, Finance & Risk Committee of the Board of Directors on July 30, 2024.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

3. Interest in Atlas joint venture:

a)Stand-alone financial information:

The Company has a 63.1% equity interest in Atlas Methanol Company Unlimited ("Atlas"). Atlas owns a 1.8 million tonne per year methanol production facility in Trinidad. The Company accounts for its interest in Atlas using the equity method. Summarized financial information of Atlas (100% basis) is as follows:

b)Atlas tax assessments:

The Board of Inland Revenue of Trinidad and Tobago ("the BIR") has audited and issued assessments against Atlas in respect of the 2005 to 2017 financial years. All subsequent tax years remain open to assessment. The assessments relate to the pricing arrangements of certain long-term fixed-price sales contracts that commenced in 2005 and continued with affiliates through 2014 and with an unrelated third party through 2019.

The long-term fixed-price sales contracts with affiliates were established as part of the formation of Atlas and management believes these were reflective of market considerations at that time.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 7

During the periods under assessment and continuing through 2014, approximately 50% of Atlas-produced methanol was sold under these fixed-price contracts. From late 2014 through 2019 fixed-price sales to an unrelated third party represented approximately 10% of Atlas-produced methanol. Atlas had partial relief from corporation income tax until late July 2014.

The Company believes it is impractical to disclose a reasonable estimate of the potential contingent liability due to the wide range of assumptions and interpretations implicit in the assessments.

The Company has lodged objections to the assessments. No deposits have been required to lodge objections. Based on the merits of the cases and advice from legal counsel, the Company believes its position should be sustained, that Atlas has filed its tax returns and paid applicable taxes in compliance with Trinidadian tax law, and as such has not accrued for any amounts relating to these assessments. Contingencies inherently involve the exercise of significant judgment, and as such the outcomes of these assessments and the financial impact to the Company could be material.

The Company anticipates the resolution of this matter through the court systems to be lengthy and, at this time, cannot predict a date as to when this matter is expected to be ultimately resolved.

4. Finance costs:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023		Jun 30 2024		Jun 30 2023

	$	27,684	$	30,242	$	55,360	$	60,920

Finance costs are primarily comprised of interest on the unsecured notes, limited recourse debt facilities, finance lease obligations, amortization of deferred financing fees, and accretion expense associated with site restoration costs. Interest during construction projects is capitalized until the plant is substantially completed and ready for productive use.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 8

The Company has access to a $500 million committed revolving credit facility, which is with a syndicate of highly rated financial institutions. The revolving credit facility was entered into with the following significant covenants and default provisions:

a)the obligation to maintain a minimum EBITDA to interest coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 2:1 calculated on a four-quarter trailing basis and a debt to capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 60%, both calculated in accordance with definitions in the credit agreement that include adjustments to limited recourse subsidiaries,

b)a default if payment is accelerated by a creditor on any indebtedness of $50 million or more of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for the limited recourse subsidiaries, and

c)a default if a default occurs that permits a creditor to demand repayment on any other indebtedness of $50 million or more of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for the limited recourse subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility is secured by certain assets of the Company, and also includes other customary covenants including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness.

Other limited recourse debt facilities relate to financing for a certain number of our ocean going vessels which we own through less than wholly-owned entities under the Company's control. The limited recourse debt facilities are described as limited recourse as they are secured only by the assets of the entity that carries the debt. Accordingly, the lenders to the limited recourse debt facilities have no recourse to the Company or its other subsidiaries.

The covenants governing the Company’s unsecured notes, which are specified in an indenture, apply to the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding the Egypt entity and the Atlas joint venture entity, and include restrictions on liens, sale and lease-back transactions, a merger or consolidation with another corporation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The indenture also contains customary default provisions.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants or default provisions of the long-term debt arrangements described above could result in a default under the applicable credit agreement that would allow the lenders to not fund future loan requests, accelerate the due date of the principal and accrued interest on any outstanding loans, or restrict the payment of cash or other distributions.

As at June 30, 2024, management believes the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to long-term debt obligations.

6. Net income per common share:

Diluted net income per common share is calculated by considering the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and, under certain circumstances, tandem share appreciation rights ("TSARs") were exercised or converted to common shares.

Outstanding TSARs may be settled in cash or common shares at the holder’s option and for purposes of calculating diluted net income per common share, the more dilutive of the cash-settled and equity-settled method is used, regardless of how the plan is accounted for. Accordingly, TSARs that are accounted for using the cash-settled method will require adjustments to the numerator if the equity-settled method is determined to have a dilutive effect on diluted net income per common share as compared to the cash-settled method. The cash-settled method was more dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and no adjustment was required for the numerator or the denominator. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, the equity-settled method was more dilutive and an adjustment was required for both the numerator and denominator.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

Stock options and, if calculated using the equity-settled method, TSARs are considered dilutive when the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period disclosed exceeds the exercise price of the stock option or TSAR. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, stock options were dilutive, resulting in an adjustment to the denominator. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, TSARs were not dilutive, resulting in no adjustment to the denominator. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, TSARs were dilutive, resulting in an adjustment to the denominator.

A reconciliation of the numerator used for the purposes of calculating diluted net income per common share is as follows:

(ii)Compensation expense related to SARs and TSARs:

Compensation expense for SARs and TSARs is measured based on their fair value and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value each period are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value at June 30, 2024 was $28.6 million compared to the recorded liability of $23.8 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $4.8 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.6 years. The weighted average fair value was estimated at June 30, 2024 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, compensation expense related to SARs and TSARs included an expense in cost of sales and operating expense of $5.4 million (2023 - a recovery of $6.9 million) and an expense of $2.3 million (2023 - an expense of $6.2 million), respectively. This included an expense of $3.3 million (2023 - a recovery of $8.2 million) and a recovery of $1.5 million (2023 - an expense of $3.7 million), related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

b)Deferred, restricted and performance share units:

Deferred, restricted and performance share units outstanding at June 30, 2024 are as follows:

1 The number of performance share units that ultimately vest are determined by performance factors as described below. The performance factors impact relates to performance share units redeemed in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

METHANEX CORPORATION 2024 SECOND QUARTER

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 11

Performance share units are redeemable for cash based on the market value of the Company's common shares and are non-dilutive to shareholders. Units vest over three years and include two equally weighted performance factors: (i) relative total shareholder return of Methanex shares versus a specific market index (the market performance factor) and (ii) three year average modified return on capital employed (the non-market performance factor). The market performance factor is measured by the Company at the grant date and reporting date using a Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine fair value. The non-market performance factor reflects management's best estimate to determine the expected number of units to vest. Based on these performance factors, the performance share unit payout will range between 0% to 200%.

Compensation expense for deferred, restricted and performance share units is measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company’s common shares and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value of deferred, restricted and performance share units at June 30, 2024 was $56.5 million compared to the recorded liability of $39.1 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $17.4 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 2.0 years.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compensation expense related to deferred, restricted and performance share units included in cost of sales and operating expenses was an expense of $9.2 million (2023 - a recovery of $2.6 million) and an expense of $8.7 million (2023 - an expense of $10.4 million), respectively. This included an expense of $4.6 million (2023 - a recovery of $6.9 million) and a recovery of $0.7 million (2023 - an expense of $1.4 million), related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively.

9.Financial instruments:

Financial instruments are either measured at amortized cost or fair value.

In the normal course of business, the Company's assets, liabilities and forecasted transactions, as reported in U.S. dollars, are impacted by various market risks including, but not limited to, natural gas prices and currency exchange rates. The time frame and manner in which the Company manages those risks varies for each item based on the Company's assessment of the risk and the available alternatives for mitigating risks.

The Company uses derivatives as part of its risk management program to mitigate variability associated with changing market

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) PAGE 12

values. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded in earnings unless the instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company designates as cash flow hedges derivative financial instruments to hedge its risk exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices and fluctuations in the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar.

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined based on industry-accepted valuation models with those using market observable inputs classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and those using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3. The fair value of all of the Company's derivative contracts as presented in the consolidated statements of financial position are determined based on present values and the discount rates used are adjusted for credit risk. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income as the change in fair value of cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the forward element of forward contracts is recorded separately in other comprehensive income as the forward element is excluded from the hedging relationships. Once a commodity hedge settles, the amount realized during the period and not recognized immediately in the statement of income is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (equity) to inventory and ultimately through cost of goods sold. Foreign currency hedges settled, are realized during the period directly to the statement of income, reclassified from the statement of other comprehensive income.

Until settled, the fair value of Level 2 derivative financial instruments will fluctuate based on changes in commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates and the fair value of Level 3 derivative financial instruments will fluctuate based on changes in the observable and unobservable valuation model inputs.

North American natural gas forward contracts

The Company manages its exposure to changes in natural gas prices for a portion of its North American natural gas requirements by executing a number of fixed price forward contracts: both financial and physical.

The Company has entered into forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to changes in natural gas prices for Geismar. Natural gas is fungible across the Geismar plants. Other costs incurred to transport natural gas from the contracted delivery point Henry Hub to the relevant production facility represent an insignificant portion of the overall underlying risk and are recognized as incurred outside of the hedging relationship.

Euro forward exchange contracts

The Company manages its foreign currency exposure to euro denominated sales by executing a number of forward contracts which it has designated as cash flow hedges for its highly probable forecast euro collections.

As at June 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to sell a notional amount of 28.0 million euros (December 31, 2023 - 12.2 million euros). The euro contracts had a positive fair value of $0.3 million included in Other current assets (December 31, 2023 - negative fair value of $0.5 million included in Other current liabilities).

Fair value - Level 2 instruments

The fair value of the Company’s North American natural gas forward contracts and Euro forward exchange contracts are derivative financial instruments determined based on Bloomberg quoted market prices and confirmations received from counterparties, which are adjusted for credit risk.

The table below shows the nominal net cash flows for derivative hedging instruments, excluding credit risk adjustments, based upon contracted settlement dates. The amounts reflect the maturity profile of the hedging instruments and are subject to change based on the prevailing market rate at each of the future settlement dates. Financial asset derivative positions are held with investment-grade counterparties and therefore the settlement day risk exposure is considered to be minimal.

Fair value - Level 3 instrument - Egyptian natural gas supply contract

The Company holds a long-term natural gas supply contract expiring in 2035 with the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, a State-Owned enterprise in Egypt. The natural gas supply contract includes a base fixed price plus a premium based on the realized price of methanol for the full volume of natural gas to supply the plant through 2035. As a result of an amendment in 2022, the contract is being treated as a derivative measured at fair value.

There is no observable, liquid spot market or forward curve for natural gas in Egypt. In addition, there are limited observable prices for natural gas in Egypt as all natural gas purchases and sales are controlled by the government and the observed prices differ based on the produced output or usage.

Due to the absence of an observable market price for an equivalent or similar contract to measure fair value, the contract's fair value is estimated using a Monte-Carlo model. The Monte-Carlo model includes significant unobservable inputs and as a result is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We consider market participant assumptions in establishing the model inputs and determining fair value, including adjusting the base fixed price and methanol based premium at the valuation date to consider estimates of inflation since contract inception.

At June 30, 2024 the fair value of the derivative associated with the remaining term of the natural gas supply contract is $20.6 million recorded in Other non-current assets (December 31, 2023 - $20.4 million). Changes in fair value of the contract are recognized in Finance income and other.

The table presents the Level 3 inputs and the sensitivities of the Monte-Carlo model valuation to changes in these inputs:


	Sensitivities
Valuation input	Input value or range	Change in input	Resulting change in valuation
Methanol price volatility (before impact of mean reversion)	35%	+/- 5%	$+/-7 million
Methanol price forecast	$320 - $410 per MT	+/- $25 per MT	$-5/+7 million
Discount rate	7.3%	+/- 1%	$-/+1 million

It is possible that the assumptions used in establishing fair value amounts will differ from future outcomes and the impact of such variations could be material.
