“We achieved significant growth in profitability in the third quarter of 2025, showcasing the success of our performance improvement programs and effective price and cost management across our business units. Our EBITDA margin before exceptional items of 17.9 % increased by 230 basis points compared to the previous year’s quarter - a strong achievement that demonstrates our resilience and operational excellence in a continued challenging market environment. Adsorbents & Additives delivered a strong pricing performance, while lower volumes in Care Chemicals and Catalysts resulted in a modest overall decline in local currency sales,” said Conrad Keijzer, Chief Executive Officer of Clariant. “Our CHF 80 million Investor Day savings program is well underway, with CHF 31 million savings already achieved year-to-date. We maintain our 2025 profitability guidance of an EBITDA margin of 17 – 18 % and expect local currency sales growth at the lower end of our guided 1 – 3 % range as we navigate through a weaker industrial production outlook and consumer sentiment,” Conrad Keijzer added.
