BASF Releases Preliminary Q2 2025 Figures and Revises 2025 Outlook
BASF SE has announced preliminary results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a decline in sales due to unfavorable currency effects and lower prices, especially within the Chemicals segment. Sales dropped by 2.1% to €15.77 billion compared to the same period last year. However, free cash flow increased slightly to €0.53 billion.
The company's EBITDA before special items aligned with analyst expectations at €1.77 billion, although it was lower than Q2 2024's figure of €1.96 billion. The Agricultural Solutions segment showed notable growth in EBITDA, outperforming analyst predictions.
Given ongoing global uncertainties, BASF has adjusted its full-year 2025 outlook, expecting EBITDA before special items to range between €7.3 billion and €7.7 billion, down from the previous estimate of €8.0 to €8.4 billion. The forecast for free cash flow remains at €0.4 to €0.8 billion.
