The earnings call reflects a mixed performance for AkzoNobel with strategic achievements and operational efficiencies driving EBITDA margin expansion and strong cash flows. However, challenges persist in volume growth due to macroeconomic uncertainties and market-specific issues, particularly in North America and Turkey.

Company Guidance

During AkzoNobel's Q2 2025 results call, the company provided several key metrics and updates. AkzoNobel reported a 40 basis point year-on-year increase in gross margin due to price versus raw materials margin expansion, aligning with their plan. The EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points to 15%, supported by significantly lower operational expenses from efficiency actions. Despite a 1% volume decline, AkzoNobel achieved a solid adjusted EBITDA of EUR 393 million, or EUR 417 million when adjusted for foreign exchange impacts. The company generated EUR 162 million in free cash flow, despite EUR 49 million cash outflows related to restructuring. AkzoNobel also successfully signed the sale of its Indian businesses for EUR 1.4 billion, valuing at 25x 2025 EBITDA, with a retained royalty stream for coatings. The SG&A program completed implementation, delivering over EUR 150 million in recurring savings, while industrial transformation continues with five site closures announced, expected to yield further operational efficiencies.
