Clariant delivers resilient Q3 profitability in a continued challenging market environment

AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO ART. 53 LR

  • Q3 2024 sales decreased by 1 % in local currency1 to CHF 991 million, with stable pricing and volume growth in Adsorbents & Additives and Care Chemicals offsetting lower Catalysts volumes
  • Lucas Meyer Cosmetics delivered strong growth and 2 % of Group sales; integration well on track
  • Q3 2024 EBITDA margin before exceptional items of 15.6 % versus 15.9 % in Q3 2023, reflecting lower sales partly offset by effective margin management
  • Q3 2024 reported EBITDA margin of 14.0 % below 15.4 % in Q3 2023 due to lower Catalysts volumes and restructuring charges relating to corporate cost measures
  • 9M 2024 sales decreased by 5 % in local currency to CHF 3.061 billion while the reported EBITDA margin improved to 15.6 % compared to 15.1 % in the prior year
  • Outlook 2024: Profitability confirmed on slightly lower sales; medium-term targets confirmed

"Clariant delivered resilient profitability in the third quarter of 2024 despite a continued challenging environment. We achieved growth in our Adsorbents & Additives and Care Chemicals businesses while maintaining pricing discipline in all businesses. However, lower than expected Catalysts volumes impacted Group sales, EBITDA margin, and our full-year sales outlook. The integration of Lucas Meyer Cosmetics remains well on track, while the sale of the Podari plant assets and the downsizing of the bioethanol business are progressing with lower financial impact than originally anticipated. With continued progress in our performance improvement programs, we confirm our 2024 profitability guidance and reaffirm our medium-term targets." said Conrad Keijzer, Chief Executive Officer of Clariant.
