Ashland Global Holdings Reports Q4 2025 Earnings and 2026 Outlook

Ashland Global Holdings, Inc. ( (ASH) ) has released its Q4 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Ashland Global Holdings, Inc. presented to its investors.

Ashland Global Holdings, Inc. is a global additives and specialty ingredients company that operates in high-quality, consumer-focused markets such as pharmaceuticals, personal care, and architectural coatings.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Ashland reported sales of $478 million, a decrease of eight percent compared to the previous year. The decline was largely attributed to portfolio optimization initiatives, which reduced sales by approximately $38 million. Despite this, the company maintained strong margins and delivered results in line with expectations. Adjusted EBITDA was $119 million, down four percent from the prior year, but increased by five percent when excluding the impact of portfolio optimization.

The Life Sciences segment saw sales of $173 million, a ten percent decrease due to portfolio optimization actions. However, pharma demand remained resilient, contributing to steady performance. Personal Care sales were $151 million, down seven percent, but showed growth when excluding portfolio optimization impacts. Specialty Additives and Intermediates segments also faced declines, primarily due to market conditions and competitive pressures.

Looking ahead, Ashland’s management remains focused on executing strategic priorities and achieving cost savings. The company has issued guidance for fiscal 2026, projecting sales between $1,835 million and $1,905 million, with adjusted EBITDA expected to range from $400 million to $430 million.
