LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE 2026 SECOND QUARTER

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma—July 29, 2026—LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE: LXU) (“LSB,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Results and Recent Highlights

• Net sales of $168.1 million compared to $151.3 million in the second quarter of 2025

• Net loss of $6.2 million, inclusive of approximately $28.8 million of turnaround expenses, compared to net income of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, inclusive of approximately $2.6 million of turnaround expenses

• Diluted loss per share of $0.09 compared to diluted EPS of $0.04 for the second quarter of 2025

• Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $53.1 million compared to $38.3 million in the second quarter of 2025

• Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $218.0 million and total debt of $441.3 million as of June 30, 2026

“Our second quarter results reflect solid execution through an important period of planned maintenance at two of our three production facilities,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB Industries' Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter we successfully completed an extensive and complex turnaround of our El Dorado ammonia plant on time, within budget and injury free. We also made the decision to pull forward scheduled turnaround work at our Pryor facility from the third quarter into the second quarter. While this planned activity impacted second quarter production and earnings, it was an important investment in our facilities and supports our broader reliability and operating performance objectives.”

“We are already seeing the benefits of the work completed at El Dorado, including higher production rates, and expect improved performance at Pryor as that turnaround is completed in the third quarter. While nitrogen prices have moderated from first half highs, market conditions for both our industrial and fertilizer business remain constructive. Alongside our continued focus on reliability, efficiency and product mix optimization, we believe our improved operating platform positions us to generate stronger results in the second half of 2026, supported by higher expected production rates, continued reliability improvements and constructive market conditions.”

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning these and other non-GAAP financial measures

Market Outlook

• Industrial business is strong with positive market conditions:

o Demand for Ammonium Nitrate (AN) remains strong, supported by continued mining-sector investment across North America and globally, as well as broader capital spending tied to AI-related infrastructure, data centers, power generation and electrification. Favorable supply / demand fundamentals, further supported by producer outages, continue to underpin both spot and contract pricing, while new mining and aggregate projects are expected to support medium- to longer-term demand for explosives used in copper, iron ore, quarrying and infrastructure-related production

• The fertilizer markets remain constructive as conditions continue to evolve following the Strait of Hormuz disruption earlier this year:

o Ammonia prices remain elevated relative to historical averages although they have moderated from first-half highs as seasonal demand normalizes and supply conditions improve

o Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) pricing remains favorable, even as prices normalize from elevated levels, with a constructive demand outlook expected to support increased demand in the second half of 2026

o Other notable developments that could impact product pricing include:

▪ Continued attacks affecting Russian nitrogen plants, ports, and ships

▪ Ongoing risk related to instability in the Middle East, including the U.S. – Iran conflict

• Corn market dynamics support fertilizer demand:

o USDA projects 95+ million planted acres of corn for the 2026/27 marketing season with global ending stocks projected to be at the lowest levels in over a decade supporting improved corn prices. This will support strong fertilizer application rates and we anticipate robust nitrogen demand through the full fertilizer application season

Low Carbon Ammonia Project Summary

• El Dorado Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Project

▪ In May 2026, we reached an agreement to assume full ownership of the project to capture and sequester CO2 at our El Dorado facility from Lapis Carbon Solutions. The project is expected to be completed and operational in the first quarter of 2027, subject to EPA approval of our Class VI permit, at which time CO2 injections are expected to begin

▪ We expect to capture and sequester between 400,000 and 500,000 m
