Kemira Oyj Maintains Good Profitability Amid Weakened Market in Q3 2025, Reports Interim Results

Kemira Oyj reported its January-September 2025 interim results, revealing a 5% decline in Q3 revenue to EUR 687.7 million, primarily due to softer market demand and foreign exchange impacts. Despite the challenges, Kemira maintained strong profitability with an operative EBITDA margin of 20.0%, supported by stable prices and operational efficiencies. Water Solutions remained the strongest segment with a 23.1% margin, while Packaging & Hygiene Solutions improved its margin to 13.6%. Fiber Essentials faced margin pressure, declining to 24.1%. For the full nine months, revenue decreased by 4% to EUR 2.09 billion, with operative EBITDA down 9% but still solid at EUR 404.6 million. The company’s strategic acquisition of Water Engineering, Inc. and a new partnership with CuspAI highlight ongoing growth initiatives. CEO Antti Salminen emphasized Kemira’s solid foundation despite market uncertainties and reiterated 2025 financial guidance with expected revenue between EUR 2.7-2.95 billion and operative EBITDA of EUR 510-580 million.
