In the second quarter of 2025, Akzo Nobel reported a mixed financial performance with flat organic sales but a 6% decline in revenue due to adverse currency effects. The company’s operating income decreased to €214 million, impacted by restructuring costs, while adjusted EBITDA slightly fell to €393 million. However, the adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 15.0%, reflecting successful efficiency actions.
Key highlights include a positive net cash flow from operating activities of €234 million and a strategic move to sell Akzo Nobel India to the JSW Group, expected to close in the fourth quarter. For the first half of 2025, the company maintained flat organic sales, with revenue down by 3% due to currency challenges. Despite these challenges, Akzo Nobel managed to enhance its adjusted EBITDA margin to 14.3% through pricing strategies and cost reductions.
Looking ahead, Akzo Nobel maintains its guidance for 2025, expecting to achieve an adjusted EBITDA above €1.48 billion. The company aims to further expand its profitability with a focus on organic growth and industrial excellence, targeting an adjusted EBITDA margin above 16% in the mid-term.
