Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. For more information, we direct you to our 2022 Annual Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and slide 32 of this presentation. This presentation uses the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted income or Adjusted earnings per share, and Free Cash Flow. These items are non-GAAP measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures represent the amounts that are attributable to Methanex Corporation and are calculated by excluding the impact of certain items associated with specific identified events. Refer to slide 32 of this presentation as well as Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures in the Company's 2022 Annual MD&A for reconciliation in certain instances to the most comparable GAAP measures.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based on our experience, our perception of trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors. Certain material factors or assumptions were applied in drawing the conclusions or making the forecasts or projections that are included in these forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, future expectations and assumptions concerning the following: the supply of, demand for and price of methanol, methanol derivatives, natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives, our ability to procure natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms, operating rates of our facilities, receipt or issuance of third-party consents or approvals or governmental approvals related to rights to purchase natural gas, the establishment of new fuel standards, operating costs, including natural gas feedstock and logistics costs, capital costs, tax rates, cash flows, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, the availability of committed credit facilities and other financing, the expected timing and capital cost of our Geismar 3 Project, global and regional economic activity (including industrial production levels) and GDP growth, absence of a material negative impact from major natural disasters, absence of a material negative impact from changes in laws or regulations, absence of a material negative impact from political instability in the countries in which we operate, and enforcement of contractual arrangements and ability to perform contractual obligations by customers, natural gas and other suppliers and other third parties. However, forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward- looking statements. The risks and uncertainties primarily include those attendant with producing and marketing methanol and successfully carrying out major capital expenditure projects in various jurisdictions, including, without limitation: conditions in the methanol and other industries including fluctuations in the supply, demand and price for methanol and its derivatives, including demand for methanol for energy uses, the price of natural gas, coal, oil and oil derivatives, our ability to obtain natural gas feedstock on commercially acceptable terms to underpin current operations and future production growth opportunities, the ability to carry out corporate initiatives and strategies, actions of competitors, suppliers and financial institutions, conditions within the natural gas delivery systems that may prevent delivery of our natural gas supply requirements, our ability to meet timeline and budget targets for the Geismar 3 Project, including the impact of any cost pressures arising from labour costs, the signing of definitive agreements and the receipt of regulatory and other customary approvals in respect of the sale of a minority interest in our Waterfront Shipping subsidiary, competing demand for natural gas, especially with respect to any domestic needs for gas and electricity, actions of governments and governmental authorities, including, without limitation, implementation of policies or other measures that could impact the supply of or demand for methanol or its derivatives, changes in laws or regulations, import or export restrictions, anti-dumping measures, increases in duties, taxes and government royalties and other actions by governments that may adversely affect our operations or existing contractual arrangements, world-wide economic conditions, and other risks described in our 2022 Annual MD&A and Fourth Quarter 2023 MD&A. Having in mind these and other factors, investors and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They are not a substitute for the exercise of one's own due diligence and judgment.

For historical Adjusted EBITDA, refer Additional Information - Non-GAAP Measures in the Company's 2022 Annual MD&A. For historical Free cash flow, refer to footnote 3. 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure and reflects Methanex's proportionate ownership interest. We target to hedge ~70% of our North American natural gas requirements. The unhedged portion of our North American natural gas requirements are purchased under contracts at spot prices. Estimates assume Henry Hub natural gas price of ~$3.50/mmbtu based on near-term forward curve. 3 Free cash flow is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure and reflects Methanex's proportionate ownership interest. Free cash flow is presented after lease payments, cash interest (based on current debt levels), debt service, maintenance capital, estimated cash taxes and other cash payments. Various factors such as rising/declining methanol prices, planned and unplanned production outages, production mix, changes in tax rates, and other items that can impact actual Free cash flow. Incremental free cash flow from G3 is presented with zero cash tax due to the significant tax shelter available to it. Free cash flow, both historical and forward-looking, is useful as it provides a measure of our cashflow generation capability and differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, as it is adjusted to include out proportional share of the Atlas joint venture cashflows and to exclude the non-controlling interests' share of Egypt and Waterfront Shipping, with dividends and repurchase of shares added back. This non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore, is unlikely to be comparable to a similar measure presented by other companies. 32 Methanex | The Global Methanol Leader | Investor Presentation February 2024 APPENDIX methanex the power of agility#33methanex the power of agility Investor Relations T: 604 661 2600 [email protected] www.methanex.com in linkedin.com/company/methanex-corporation @Methanex Methanex | The Global Methanol Leader | Investor Presentation October 2023
