Ingevity Corporation, a global leader in specialty chemicals and materials, operates in three segments: Performance Materials, Advanced Polymer Technologies, and Performance Chemicals, providing solutions for a variety of industries including automotive, construction, and agriculture. Headquartered in North Charleston, South Carolina, Ingevity is known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Ingevity’s second quarter 2025 financial results reveal a mixed performance with net sales declining by 7% to $365.1 million, primarily due to reduced sales in the Performance Chemicals segment. The company reported a net loss of $146.5 million, heavily influenced by a significant goodwill impairment charge in the Advanced Polymer Technologies segment. However, adjusted earnings showed a robust increase of 39% to $51.1 million, with adjusted EBITDA rising by 9% to $110.0 million, reflecting successful repositioning actions.
Key financial highlights include an improved adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.1%, driven by cost reductions and a better product mix in the Performance Chemicals segment. Despite challenges, the Performance Materials segment maintained strong EBITDA margins, while the Advanced Polymer Technologies segment faced pressures from tariffs and a planned outage. The company’s operating cash flow stood at $79.0 million, with free cash flow reaching $66.8 million, indicating strong cash management.
Looking ahead, Ingevity has raised the low-end of its adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year, now projecting between $390 million and $415 million, while maintaining its sales guidance of $1.25 billion to $1.40 billion. This optimistic outlook is supported by solid year-to-date results and improved expectations for North American auto production, showcasing the company’s strategic focus on leveraging core competencies and driving sustainable growth.
Ingevity’s management remains committed to advancing its portfolio evaluation and investing in areas that align with its core strengths, aiming to deliver sustainable growth and maintain industry-leading EBITDA margins. The company’s strategic initiatives and financial discipline position it well for future opportunities and challenges in the global market.
