Despite these issues, there are strategic efforts to improve cash flow and reduce costs, with strong performance in the semiconductor polysilicon segment. However, the overall sentiment is affected by the revised downward guidance and persistent market pressures.
Company Guidance
During the Wacker Chemie AG Q3 2025 conference call, the company provided updated guidance amid challenging market conditions. The company reported Q3 sales of EUR 1.34 billion and an EBITDA of EUR 112 million, with a combined EBITDA from its four operating segments totaling EUR 159 million. This represented an 18% decline compared to the previous year and a 13% sequential decrease. Despite a lower EBITDA, net cash flow improved to EUR 19 million, supported by efforts to reduce working capital. The company revised its full-year sales forecast to the lower end of the EUR 5.5 billion to EUR 5.9 billion range and anticipates EBITDA in the lower half of the EUR 500 million to EUR 700 million range. Net cash flow is expected to be negative but significantly better than the prior year. Wacker Chemie plans to implement cost-saving measures targeting fixed production costs in early 2026 to enhance competitiveness and profitability amidst ongoing macroeconomic and competitive pressures.
