Evonik Industries AG: Preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2024 and adjustment of the outlook for the financial year 2024

Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by EQS News - a service of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Evonik Industries AG is already today publishing the following preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2024 and adjusting its outlook for the financial year 2024.
Based on preliminary, non-audited figures, Evonik expects an adjusted EBITDA* of €578 million in the second quarter of 2024 (Q2 2023: €450 million). The current market expectation is €531 million (Vara Research analyst consensus as of May 29, 2024).
As there was still no broad-based macroeconomic recovery, company-specific factors in particular led to this positive development: In addition to continued strict cost discipline, good volume development in Specialty Additives, as well as a price recovery in Animal Nutrition and lower production costs were drivers of the sequential increase.
Based on this development, Evonik is raising its outlook for adjusted EBITDA* as follows: The company now expects adjusted EBITDA* for the financial year 2024 to be between €1.9 billion and €2.2 billion (previously: €1.7 - €2.0 billion).
Following a slight decline in the first quarter, sales in the second quarter were, based on preliminary figures, at just above €3.9 billion and thus around the level of the previous year (Q2 2023: €3.9 billion).
Evonik Industries AG will publish final figures for the second quarter of 2024 on August 1, 2024, as planned.
*Notes on key performance indicators (KPIs) can be found in the Financial Report of Evonik Industries AG starting on page 240.
