Executive summary
Q3 2025 sales declined 16.3% year-over-year to €1,338 million, driven by weak demand, negative currency effects, and portfolio changes, including the Urethane Systems divestment.

Net income was negative at €77 million, compared to €1 million in Q3 2024; adjusted EPS was minus €0.07 versus €0.86 prior year.
Persistently challenging market conditions, especially in agrochemical and construction sectors, impacted performance.

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.
