The earnings call highlighted effective working capital management and strategic divestitures, but these positives were overshadowed by significant declines in EBITDA, ongoing challenges in key markets, competitive pressures from China, and a cautious outlook for Q3 2025.

Company Guidance

During the LANXESS Q2 2025 Results Conference Call, the company provided a revised earnings guidance for the fiscal year 2025, adjusting its projections to an EBITDA range of EUR 520 million to EUR 580 million due to persistent macroeconomic challenges. In Q2 2025, LANXESS experienced a decline in sales volumes by nearly 4%, with EBITDA falling to EUR 150 million from EUR 181 million in the previous year, largely driven by volume, price, and portfolio effects. The company managed to maintain stable working capital, driven by a reduction in receivables, which contributed to a positive free cash flow of EUR 31 million in Q2. LANXESS also highlighted strategic operational adjustments, including the closure of its Hexane oxidation plant and the planned shutdown of its Widnes site to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Looking forward, the company anticipates continued pressure in Q3 2025 but remains cautiously optimistic about a potential demand recovery in 2026, supported by low inventory levels and an improved cost structure.

Stable Working Capital Management

LANXESS maintained stable working capital in Q2 2025, with a notable improvement in inventory management and receivables collection, resulting in a positive free cash flow of EUR 31 million.

Successful Strategic Divestiture

The divestiture of the urethane business was completed, contributing to a reduction in net debt from EUR 2.5 billion to EUR 2.1 billion, highlighting strategic financial management.

Closure of Hexane Oxidation Plant

The accelerated closure of the Hexane oxidation plant by June 2025 is expected to result in annual savings of EUR 10 million and supports sustainability goals by reducing CO2 footprint.
