Arkema Reports 7% EBITDA Growth in Q2 Driven by Pricing and Mix

Arkema reported second-quarter sales of 2.4 billion euros, up 3.2% year-on-year organically, with EBITDA rising 7% to 391 million euros and the EBITDA margin expanding 90 basis points to 16.1%. Recurring EBIT increased 11% to 220 million euros, while adjusted net income reached 129 million euros, or 1.70 euros per share. The Adhesive Solutions segment achieved its best-ever quarter with EBITDA up 7% and a margin of 15.1%, driven by a mix shift toward higher-value durable goods and pricing actions. Coating Solutions saw a strong recovery with EBITDA significantly up and a margin of 18.5%, while Advanced Materials maintained a solid margin of around 19% despite a significant decline in Performance Additives due to the Middle East crisis and weak demand. Growth projects contributed approximately 25 million euros in additional EBITDA in the first half, on track for the full-year target of 50 million euros.
