Business Description
Methanex Corporation, established in 1968 and based in Vancouver, Canada, functions as a primary worldwide supplier of methanol. The company not only manufactures this essential chemical across North America, the Asia Pacific, Europe, and South America, but also acquires it from external producers through long-term contracts and spot market deals. To support its extensive global operations, Methanex possesses and leases storage and terminal facilities, and oversees a fleet of roughly 30 ocean-going ships. Its customer base primarily includes businesses within the chemical and petrochemical sectors.
Business History
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
