Braskem S.A. is a leading resin producer in the Americas and a global leader in biopolymers, operating primarily in the petrochemical industry with a focus on sustainable practices.
In the second quarter of 2025, Braskem reported a recurring EBITDA of US$74 million, with a net profit attributable to shareholders amounting to R$431 million for the first half of the year. Despite facing global trade tensions and tariff uncertainties, the company maintained stable operations across its segments.
Key financial metrics indicated a decrease in net revenue by 5% compared to the previous quarter, largely due to reduced international prices for polyethylene and other chemicals. The Brazil/South America segment saw a 3% increase in resin sales domestically, while exports rose by 19%. However, the United States and Europe segment recorded a negative recurring EBITDA of US$8 million due to higher feedstock costs. In Mexico, the company faced challenges with ethane supply, leading to a negative recurring EBITDA of US$9 million.
Looking ahead, Braskem’s management remains focused on optimizing operations and addressing challenges such as feedstock cost mismatches and global market uncertainties. The company is also advancing its strategic investments, including the completion of an ethane import terminal in Mexico, which is expected to enhance operational capacity and efficiency.
