Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The call presented a balanced picture: strong strategic and operational milestones (Zhanjiang start‑up, Ag Solutions progress and margin, MDI expansion, portfolio realizations, cash‑flow and cost‑savings progress) contrast with meaningful near‑term financial headwinds (declining EBITDA, pricing pressure, currency impacts, China overcapacity and one‑time restructuring costs). Management emphasizes discipline on capex, costs and portfolio actions to navigate a challenging 2026 that is expected to be transitional.
Company Guidance
BASF guided that for 2026 it expects EBITDA before special items of EUR 6.2–7.0 billion, free cash flow of EUR 1.5–2.3 billion and payments for property, plant & equipment and intangibles of about EUR 3.4 billion, based on assumptions of Brent at USD 65/barrel and an exchange rate of $1.20/€, while Q1 2026 FX headwinds could cut EBITDA by up to ~EUR 200 million. Management reiterated a 2026–2029 CapEx envelope of EUR 13 billion (20% below last year’s four‑year forecast), with 2026 CapEx of EUR 3.3 billion (vs. EUR 4.0 billion in 2025) and only ~EUR 600 million more for Zhanjiang after EUR 1.6 billion in 2025. Cost measures were accelerated to an annual run‑rate of ~EUR 1.7 billion by end‑2025, with 2025 one‑offs of EUR 700 million (up ~EUR 300 million), 2026 one‑offs trimmed to EUR 300 million, a revised end‑2026 savings target of EUR 2.3 billion (cumulative one‑offs ~EUR 1.9 billion). Other reported metrics: FY‑2025 EBITDA before special items EUR 6.6 billion (Q4: EUR 1.0bn vs EUR 1.4bn prior year; Q4 FX ≈EUR 110m; FY FX ≈EUR 235m), net income EUR 1.6 billion (+25%), free cash flow EUR 1.3 billion, cash flow from operations EUR 5.6 billion (vs EUR 6.9bn), net debt EUR 18.3 billion, total assets EUR 76.2 billion, equity ratio 45.1%; dividend proposal EUR 2.25/share (yield ~5.1%) and buybacks ~EUR 355 million YTD; strategic milestones include Zhanjiang’s 32‑line start‑up (slightly negative year‑1, positive from 2027), MDI Geismar USD 1 billion expansion to ~600,000 tpa (start Q3 2026), Agricultural Solutions EBITDA margin ~22% with IPO readiness targeted for 2027, and Coatings enterprise value ~EUR 8.7 billion (Carlyle close targeted Q2).
Successful Zhanjiang-Verbund Site Start‑Up
All 32 key production lines at the Zhanjiang site were started on time and below budget; steam cracker started without lost time and is flexible on feedstock. Management expects a slightly negative earnings contribution in the first year of operation but positive earnings contribution from 2027.
Agricultural Solutions Strong Performance and IPO Path
Agricultural Solutions delivered an EBITDA margin before special items of 22%; separation work (legal entity and ERP) on track for completion by early 2027 and IPO readiness targeted for 2027. Acquisition of AgBiTech (complementary biologicals) expected to close H1 2026.
Major MDI Capacity Expansion in the U.S.
Geismar MDI expansion is on track with total investment of USD 1 billion — BASF's largest U.S. investment — doubling Geismar MDI capacity to ~600,000 metric tons/year with start-up planned for Q3 2026.
Portfolio Realizations and Coatings Transaction
Divestment of Decorative Paints completed; agreement with Carlyle for Coatings values the business at an enterprise value of EUR 8.7 billion and is on track to close in Q2 2026. BASF to retain 40% equity stake, creating upside potential.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Improvements
Free cash flow improved by around EUR 600 million to EUR 1.3 billion; cash flow from operating activities was EUR 5.6 billion. Net debt reduced to EUR 18.3 billion and equity ratio remained solid at 45.1%.
Cost Savings and Organizational Streamlining
Achieved an annual cost reduction run rate of ~EUR 1.7 billion by end‑2025 (EUR 100 million above original target for that date); target for end‑2026 raised to EUR 2.3 billion (from EUR 2.1 billion). Senior executives reduced by 11%; overall headcount reduced by 4,800 (excluding ~1,000 hires at Zhanjiang).
Capital Discipline: Lowered CapEx Guidance
Group plans capex of EUR 13 billion for 2026–2029 (20% lower than prior 4‑year forecast and >30% lower than 2024–2027 planning). 2026 capex expected at EUR 3.3 billion versus EUR 4.0 billion in 2025 (≈‑17.5%).
Shareholder Returns
Proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 2.25 per share (≈5.1% yield based on year‑end price) and share buybacks initiated (≈EUR 355 million repurchased by year‑end 2025).
