Debt repayments to pressure Lotte Chemical’s balance sheet

Maybank IB Research said the LINE project could weigh on Lotte Chemical’s earnings.

PETALING JAYA: Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Bhd’s (Lotte Chemical) very survival is at stake unless it can borrow fresh funds to service its debt as its business losses have run into the 14th consecutive quarter in the three months ended Sept 30 (3Q25).

CGS International Research (CGSI Research) raised the possibility of the outcome as the chemical group had only RM947mil in net working capital at the end of September.
