Q4 2025 earnings summary20 Feb, 2026

Executive summary

  • 2025 revenue was €3.385 billion, broadly flat year-over-year (-0.7% like-for-like), with Q4 at €800–801 million, reflecting firm pricing amid subdued industrial and construction demand in North America and Europe.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was €546 million, within guidance, despite €22 million negative FX impact and subdued industrial activity.

  • Net income group share was negative €409 million, mainly due to a €467 million non-cash goodwill impairment in the Solutions for Refractory, Abrasives and Construction business.

  • Free operating cash flow was €127 million before strategic CapEx; a €0.75 per share dividend was proposed, consistent with prior years.

  • Project Horizon launched to structurally lower costs, targeting €50–60 million annual savings, with over 50% of benefits expected in 2026 and full effect in 2027.

Financial highlights

  • Group sales declined 0.7% like-for-like; adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.1%, down from 18.7% in 2024.

  • Net income, group share, was a loss of €409 million, impacted by impairment and project-related write-offs.

  • Net financial debt increased to €1,391 million, with a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.5x; investment grade ratings confirmed.

  • Strong liquidity with €960 million in credit lines and €819 million in cash at year-end.

  • Currency effects reduced revenue by €82 million, mainly due to USD devaluation.

Outlook and guidance

  • No formal 2026 guidance provided; management remains prudent due to slow market recovery, especially in the U.S. and automotive sectors.

  • Over 50% of Project Horizon cost savings expected in 2026, with full impact in 2027.

  • CapEx for 2026 expected in the €200–270 million range, with no strategic CapEx planned.

  • Disciplined execution and innovation remain key priorities.

  • Construction in Europe expected to improve, while U.S. recovery remains uncertain.

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.
