Arkema S.A. Reports Resilient Q1 2025 Performance

Arkema S.A. ( (ARKAY) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Arkema S.A. presented to its investors.

Arkema S.A. is a global leader in specialty chemicals, focusing on innovative solutions in the fields of adhesives, advanced materials, and coating solutions, with a significant presence in the specialty materials sector.

In the first quarter of 2025, Arkema reported a slight increase in sales to €2.4 billion, despite challenging market conditions outside Asia and geopolitical uncertainties. The company’s performance was bolstered by growth in Asia and the integration of Dow’s laminating adhesives.

Key financial highlights include a stable sales volume with a minor decline in EBITDA to €329 million, reflecting a 6% decrease from the previous year. The Specialty Materials segment showed resilience, while the Intermediates segment faced a significant EBITDA drop due to refrigerant gases. Adjusted net income fell to €99 million, with a decrease in earnings per share to €1.31.

Looking ahead, Arkema remains focused on its innovation strategy and cost management, aiming for an EBITDA at least equal to last year’s, assuming stable global economic conditions. The company plans to enhance its cash flow and continue its strategic projects, maintaining vigilance over geopolitical impacts.

Arkema’s management anticipates limited direct effects from tariff increases and is committed to leveraging its global footprint and diverse market presence to navigate the uncertain economic landscape.
