AdvanSix Inc. has appointed Patrick C. Day as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective April 27, 2026. The appointment follows the departure of interim finance chief Christopher Gramm, who will continue as Vice President of Corporate Finance and Strategic Financial Planning & Analysis.
Day brings more than two decades of financial leadership, having served as Vice President of Financial Planning and Analysis and Investor Relations at FMC Corporation, and holding senior roles at Deloitte Consulting and United Technologies Corporation. His experience spans cost control, operational discipline, and strategic growth initiatives.
AdvanSix, an integrated chemistry company that supplies nylon, caprolactam, fertilizers, and industrial chemicals, reported mixed results in the most recent quarter. Q4 2025 revenue reached $359.95 million, up 9% year‑over‑year, while earnings per share fell to $0.03, missing expectations. In contrast, Q1 2025 sales of $378 million and an EPS of $0.86 reflected a rebound driven by strong plant‑nutrient demand and a recovery from the 2019 PES cumene shutdown. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 6.9% in Q4 2025 and 13.7% in Q1 2025, highlighting the impact of soft demand in nylon solutions and input‑cost headwinds.
Erin Kane, President and CEO, said, “Pat is a proven finance leader with the experience needed to help guide AdvanSix through our next stage of growth and opportunity. Pat’s appointment reflects our commitment to building strong leadership and financial capabilities to drive long‑term value creation for our shareholders.” Day added, “I am excited to join AdvanSix at a time when the company has a clear strategy and roadmap, strong momentum and a compelling opportunity ahead. What drew me to AdvanSix is the combination of its portfolio of essential chemistries that power everyday life, a safety‑focused culture intent on delivering impact and a leadership team with a clear emphasis on long‑term value creation.”
The CFO transition comes as AdvanSix navigates a mix of opportunities and headwinds. The company’s nylon‑solutions segment has faced soft demand, while plant‑nutrient sales remain robust. Rising sulfur and natural‑gas prices have added cost pressure, and management has flagged these as concerns for 2026. Day’s background in cost discipline and strategic financial planning is expected to help the company maintain margin discipline, optimize capital allocation, and support disciplined performance as it pursues growth and margin‑defense strategies.
With Day’s appointment, AdvanSix signals a continued focus on disciplined capital management and operational excellence. The new CFO will oversee financial stewardship, guide capital allocation initiatives, and reinforce the company’s long‑term value‑creation agenda, positioning AdvanSix to navigate current market challenges while capitalizing on growth opportunities in its core chemistry and fertilizer businesses.
