2 Third Quarter 2025 Highlights • Solid HIP sales and EBITDA, which included ~$20 million in period-related expenses and a $5 million FIFO headwind • PEM operating rate and sales volume improved as 3Q progressed, and into 4Q, following the resolution of unplanned outages earlier in 3Q • North America Chlorovinyls goodwill impairment reflects near-term challenges, but we believe the profitability improvement actions we are taking will return earnings to a level that provides an appropriate return on investment • Progressing towards $200 million of identified cost savings in 2026 in addition to a footprint optimization benefit of ~$100 million in 2026 from the Pernis shutdown • Improved plant reliability should increase PEM’s ability to serve our customers • Solid investment-grade rated balance sheet with $2.1 billion of cash, equivalents and securities (1) Excludes “Identified Items” consisting of a non-cash impairment charge of $727 million representing all of the goodwill associated with the North American Chlorovinyls reporting unit, and $17 million of accrued expenses related to previously announced shutdowns (2) Reconciliation of EBITDA excl. Identified Items to the applicable GAAP measure can be found on page 11 (3) Includes investments in available-for-sale securities 3Q 2025 Financial Results $313M EBITDA(1,2) $2.8B Net Sales $2.1B Cash, Equivalents and Investments(3)

5 Housing and Infrastructure Products Update 2 U.S. single-family housing starts and residential construction spending are trending below prior year levels as a result of elevated mortgage interest rates and the impact to consumer confidence from economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, more stable repair & remodel and infrastructure spending trends have provided stability to HIP’s overall sales and earnings 3 Strong demand for municipal pipe as a result of infrastructure spending to support the need for clean water and sanitation is driving Pipe & Fittings sales volume growth 4 Longer-term housing fundamentals remain strong due to decade-plus of under-building, increasingly favorable demographics and continued popularity of remote work 1 Against a backdrop of lower U.S. housing starts and residential construction spending, HIP’s sales growth outpaced the market in 3Q’25 as a result of its value-added product portfolio and its position as a supplier of choice with faster-growing customers

7 Performance and Essential Materials Update 2 An elevated level of planned turnarounds and unplanned plant outages earlier in 2025 kept PEM’s earnings from reaching their potential, but production improved as the third quarter of 2025 progressed following corrective actions 3 Taking action to achieve $200 million of company-wide identified cost savings in 2026 with the majority of that occurring in the PEM segment 4 PEM segment profitability is expected to improve significantly following the closure of the Pernis site, which was generating annual losses of ~$100 million 1 Global macroeconomic conditions remain sluggish in Europe and Asia, creating significant pressure on chlorovinyls prices, but 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
