“In the fourth quarter of 2024, we saw growth in all our businesses. Our improved EBITDA margin was driven by volume growth and proactive margin management while the Care Chemicals performance fell slightly short of our expectations due to lower seasonal aviation and refinery business,” said Conrad Keijzer, Chief Executive Officer of Clariant. “For the full year 2024, I am particularly pleased with the strong operational performance, cash generation, and the progress in our non-financial targets. We increased our 2030 ambition for greenhouse gas emission reduction in 2024 and made significant progress with a reduction of 9 % in Scope 1 & 2 emissions compared to 2023. Our top-quartile safety performance also improved by another reduction of 19 % in our DART rate. For 2025, we expect modest growth, underlying margin improvement, and continued delivery of cost savings, resulting in improved cash generation. Despite challenging market conditions and macroeconomic risks and uncertainties, we remain on track toward the delivery of our medium-term targets, supported by our self-help actions,” Conrad Keijzer added.
