The earnings call presented a mix of positive achievements, such as EBITDA growth and successful divestitures, against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty and operational challenges, particularly in terms of energy costs and industry utilization. While there are strategic plans to mitigate tariff impacts and leverage segment growth, the overall environment remains challenging.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Q1 2025 Conference Call, Lanxess reaffirmed its guidance for the fiscal year, projecting an EBITDA between €600 million and €650 million. The company reported a 32% increase in EBITDA for Q1 compared to the previous year, although it acknowledged the figure remained at low levels. The divestiture of the Urethanes business, completed faster than anticipated, will remove an operational EBITDA of approximately €11 million to €12 million from Q2 results. The call emphasized ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, notably the impact of tariffs and fluctuating customer order patterns, which have shifted to a one-to-two-week basis. Despite challenges, Lanxess anticipates a sequential improvement in Q2 performance, buoyed by the end of pre-buying effects and local pricing adjustments in response to tariffs. The company also addressed cost management and strategic responses to market dynamics, including the planned closure of a loss-making plant, projected to save about €10 million in future contributions.

EBITDA Increase

EBITDA increased by approximately 32%, a significant improvement over Q1 2024, despite still being at low levels.

Consumer Protection Segment Growth

The Consumer Protection segment saw a sharp increase, largely due to a weak comparable base in Q1 2024.

Successful Divestiture of Urethanes Business

The divestiture of the Urethanes business to UBE was completed faster than expected, with proceeds intended to strengthen the balance sheet.

US Tariff Impact Management

Numerous product categories are exempted from tariffs, creating a relative price advantage over Chinese competitors, which the company plans to leverage for volume and price gains.
