These foundations provide a strong platform from which to build. As the new CEO, my top priority is to define and start to implement the actions to drive, and ultimately accelerate our growth. <\/i><br \/><i>\u201cMy mandate is clear: to accelerate value creation. We are moving with urgency \u2014 sharpening execution and capital discipline, as well as strengthening our conversion of innovation to growth. We are investing to further improve our delivery, and I see multiple opportunities to drive our longer-term performance. Over the course of the year, I plan to progressively provide updates on the refreshed framework and actions that will underpin our next phase of growth.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>2026 Outlook <\/b><br \/>For 2026, we expect macroeconomic and demand uncertainty to continue across most of our end markets. In this context, our priority will be executing on actions within our control to both accelerate volume growth and increase cashflow. <\/p>\n<p>Contemplated in our outlook, is the assumption for current demand trends to continue and the absence of a broader recovery throughout the year. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, we expect low single-digit volume growth in 2026, with Composite Materials leading the improvement, underpinned by strong demand from customers in civil aerospace, as well as our diverse range of customer programs and applications. <\/p>\n<p>For Specialty Polymers, we expect volume growth to be modestly higher driven by growth in the automotive end market. This is expected to be offset by lower volumes in Consumer Electronics, due to lower sales and an unfavorable product mix at a major customer, as well as the planned phase-out of certain products aligned with our non-fluorosurfactant strategy. Together, these two headwinds are expected to have an approximately \u20ac30 million impact to year-on-year underlying EBITDA.<\/p>\n<p>For semiconductors, while visibility remains challenging we expect a gradual recovery in year-on-year volumes, resulting in stronger growth in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, this remains a key growth driver, supported by our market position, customer exposures, and leveraging the longer-term secular trends in advanced connectivity and AI-related demand.<\/p>\n<p>For Novecare, we expect low single digit volume growth, driven by Agro and Home &amp; Personal Care, partially offset by modestly lower pricing. For Technology Solutions, we expect low to mid single digit volume growth in mining solutions, including the impact of the temporary closure of a customer mine in Indonesia, which is expected to be a year-on-year headwind in the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>We expect gross margin across our four core global business units (Specialty Polymers, Composite Materials, Novecare and Technology Solutions) to remain broadly stable compared to 2025, demonstrating our strong value proposition and specialty positioning. Following the completion of the divestment of the Oil &amp; Gas business in early January, we are progressing with the planned divestment of Aroma and expect to provide an update around the end of the second quarter. <\/p>\n<p>Supporting our profitability, we remain on track to deliver on our cost savings program, which targets to deliver more than \u20ac200 million of run rate savings by the end of 2026. For the full year, we expect cost savings to offset inflationary impacts on fixed and variable costs. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, our outlook includes the impact of foreign exchange movements relative to the Euro, which we expect to have an approximately \u20ac40 million year-on-year headwind to underlying EBITDA in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>On a full year basis (excluding the recently divested Oil &amp; Gas business unit), our outlook is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Underlying EBITDA<\/b><sup><b>2<\/b><\/sup> of<b> approximately \u20ac1.1 billion<\/b> compared to \u20ac1.14<sup>3<\/sup> billion in 2025<\/li>\n<li><b>Operating cash flow <\/b>of<b> approximately \u20ac700 million<\/b> compared to \u20ac779<sup>4<\/sup>m in 2025<\/li>\n<li><b>Capital Expenditures<\/b><sup><b>5<\/b><\/sup> of<b> less than \u20ac500 million<\/b> compared to \u20ac563<sup>4<\/sup>m in 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><sup>2<\/sup> Assumes EUR\/US$ @ 1.20 (compared to 1.13 in FY 2025)<br \/><sup>3<\/sup> At constant currency and scope<br \/><sup>4 <\/sup>Including \u201cDiscontinued Operations\u201d<br \/><sup>5<\/sup> Includes c. \u20ac50 million of capital expenditures related to the new ERP implementation<\/p>\n<p><b>More detailed information on the full year 2025 results available on the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Mte2jzBT_IqYgSJ_t_25PXUJB8wrTJcRGfbCTBS0CpRAiJQm8gbBusbu7ocLmix8tMu0oDVwmYxCGMV-NXKh4M2c8XgBnjThWcJL4NdfaHCFkCnPVJWbHpfo1hRWIT9gLOTZxot1YYLHuRHq7R2AE5DLDWuE7g-4w-RlgNG665g=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><b><u>website<\/u><\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Safe harbor<\/b><br \/>This press release may contain forward-looking information.

Cette \u00e9volution devrait toutefois \u00eatre compens\u00e9e par des volumes plus faibles dans l\u2019\u00e9lectronique de grand public, en raison de ventes r\u00e9duites et d\u2019un mix produit d\u00e9favorable chez un client majeur, ainsi que par la sortie planifi\u00e9e de certains produits, en ligne avec notre strat\u00e9gie de non-recours aux fluorosurfactants.

Deze fundamenten vormen een sterk platform om op voort te bouwen. Als nieuwe CEO is mijn hoogste prioriteit het defini\u00ebren en starten van de acties die onze groei zullen stimuleren en uiteindelijk versnellen.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Mijn mandaat is duidelijk: de waardecreatie versnellen. We handelen met urgentie \u2014 we scherpen onze uitvoering en kapitaaldiscipline aan, en versterken onze omzetting van innovatie naar groei. We investeren in ons vermogen om te presteren, en ik zie meerdere kansen om onze langetermijnprestaties te bevorderen. In de loop van het jaar ben ik van plan om op geregelde basis updates te geven over het vernieuwde kader en de acties die de volgende groeifase van ons bedrijf zullen ondersteunen.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Vooruitzichten voor 2026 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Voor 2026 verwachten we dat de macro-economische onzekerheid en de onzekerheid in de vraag zullen aanhouden in de meeste van onze eindmarkten. In deze context ligt onze prioriteit bij de uitvoering van acties binnen onze controle om zowel de volumegroei te versnellen als de kasstroom te verhogen.<\/p>\n<p>In onze vooruitzichten is opgenomen dat de huidige vraagtrends zich zullen voortzetten en dat er gedurende het jaar geen breder marktherstel zal plaatsvinden.<\/p>\n<p>Over het geheel genomen verwachten we lage enkelcijferige volumegroei in 2026, waarbij Composite Materials de verbetering zal aanvoeren, gesteund door een sterke vraag vanuit klanten in de civiele luchtvaart, evenals door ons brede scala aan klantenprogramma\u2019s en toepassingen.<\/p>\n<p>Voor Specialty Polymers verwachten we een licht hogere volumegroei, gedreven door de groei in de automobielmarkt. Dit zal naar verwachting worden gecompenseerd door lagere volumes in Consumer Electronics, als gevolg van lagere verkopen en een ongunstige productmix bij een grote klant, evenals de geplande afbouw van bepaalde producten in lijn met onze strategie om fluorosurfactanten te bannen. Samen zullen deze twee factoren naar verwachting een impact hebben van ongeveer \u20ac30 miljoen op de onderliggende EBITDA op jaarbasis.<\/p>\n<p>Voor semiconductors blijft de zichtbaarheid uitdagend, maar we verwachten een geleidelijk herstel in de volumes op jaarbasis, wat zal resulteren in een sterkere groei in de tweede helft van het jaar. Toch blijft dit een belangrijke groeimotor, ondersteund door onze marktpositie, klantenportefeuille en de langetermijntrends in geavanceerde connectiviteit en AI-gerelateerde vraag.<\/p>\n<p>Voor Novecare verwachten we lage enkelcijferige volumegroei, gedreven door Agro en Home &amp; Personal Care, gedeeltelijk gecompenseerd door iets lagere prijzen. Voor Technology Solutions verwachten we een lage tot middelhoge enkelcijferige volumegroei in Mining Solutions, inclusief de impact van de tijdelijke sluiting van een mijn in Indonesi\u00eb, wat in de eerste helft van 2026 een tegenwind zal zijn ten opzichte van vorig jaar.<\/p>\n<p>We verwachten dat de brutomarge binnen onze vier kern business units (Specialty Polymers, Composite Materials, Novecare en Technology Solutions) grotendeels stabiel zal blijven ten opzichte van 2025, wat onze sterke waardepropositie en gespecialiseerde positionering weerspiegelt. Na de voltooiing van de verkoop van de Oil &amp; Gas-activiteiten begin januari, gaan we verder met de geplande verkoop van Aroma en verwachten we tegen het einde van het tweede kwartaal een update te geven.<\/p>\n<p>Ter ondersteuning van onze winstgevendheid blijven we op koers om onze kostenbesparingsdoelstelling te realiseren, die gericht is op meer dan \u20ac200 miljoen aan besparingen op jaarbasis tegen eind 2026. Over het hele jaar verwachten we dat de kostenbesparingen de inflatoire effecten op vaste en variabele kosten zullen compenseren.<\/p>\n<p>Tot slot omvatten onze vooruitzichten de impact van valutaschommelingen ten opzichte van de euro, waarvan we verwachten dat deze in 2026 een negatieve impact van ongeveer \u20ac40 miljoen zal hebben op de onderliggende EBITDA ten opzichte van vorig jaar.<\/p>\n<p>Op jaarbasis (exclusief de recent gedesinvesteerde Oil &amp; Gas-activiteiten) zijn onze vooruitzichten als volgt:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Onderliggende EBITDA<\/b><sup><b>2<\/b><\/sup> van <b>ongeveer \u20ac1,1 miljard<\/b> ten opzichte van \u20ac1,14<sup>3<\/sup> miljard in 2025<\/li>\n<li><b>Operationele kasstroom<\/b> van <b>ongeveer \u20ac700 miljoen <\/b>ten opzichte van \u20ac779<sup>4<\/sup> miljoen in 2025<\/li>\n<li><b>Kapitaalinvesteringen<\/b><sup><b>5<\/b><\/sup> van <b>minder dan \u20ac500 miljoen<\/b> ten opzichte van \u20ac563<sup>4<\/sup> miljoen in 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><sup>2<\/sup> Verondersteld EUR\/US$ @ 1,2 (in vergelijking met 1.13 in het jaar 2025)<br \/><sup>3 <\/sup>Aan constante wisselkoers en omvang<br \/><sup>4 <\/sup>\u201cBe\u00ebindigde Activiteiten\u201d inbegrepen<br \/><sup>5 <\/sup>Omvat ongeveer \u20ac50 miljoen aan kapitaalinvesteringen verbonden aan de implementatie van het nieuwe ERP systeem<br \/><b>Meer gedetailleerde informatie over de jaarresultaten beschikbaar op de <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Mte2jzBT_IqYgSJ_t_25PZr-ZYNc9RPKXdsusAL6PlSyZcg44lWeDIGJVW05CObhLpki9D-KAMCH03AA2WcwQ7_FiT60tUOzsk88OAa5P5jxATbWDBGp6vYD-0S-la_KqftF5uZdFLujdzzDLhPwRK4Hs10-pnj_7XGJj4DetYU=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><b>website<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Wettelijke bepaling als bescherming tegen onredelijke aansprakelijkheidsstellingen <\/b><br \/>Dit persbericht kan toekomstgerichte informatie bevatten.
