Arkema Q4 2025 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q4 2025 earnings summary26 Feb, 2026
Executive summary
EBITDA reached €1,251 million (13.8% margin), within guidance, despite weak demand in Europe and the US, while Asia, especially China, remained dynamic and key growth markets like batteries, sports, 3D printing, healthcare, and fluorospecialties grew 16% year-over-year.
Specialty Materials showed resilience, but results were impacted by cyclical downturns in acrylics and a decline in old-generation refrigerants.
Strict cost control and innovation led to recurring cash flow of €464 million, well above guidance, strengthening the balance sheet.
Dividend proposed at €3.60 per share, maintaining stability and representing about 70% of 2025 free cash flow.
New segmentation will be implemented in 2026 to better reflect business dynamics, separating resilient Specialty Materials from more cyclical Primary Materials.
Financial highlights
Group sales were €9,068 million, down 5% year-on-year, impacted by a negative 2.9% currency effect and a 1.6% volume decline.
EBITDA fell 18.3% to €1,251 million, with a €40 million negative currency effect and a margin of 13.8%.
Adjusted net income was €328 million (€4.34 per share), down 46.8% year-on-year.
Free cash flow increased to €390 million, with a working capital ratio of 12.5% of sales.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
