Business conditions and performance

1. Business performance

Major events

The coronavirus pandemic is continuing to affect people's lives and economic activity around the world in 2021. Evonik took the necessary precautions to protect its employees at an early stage in order to prevent the virus from spreading within the company while continuing to operate as best possible. We are continuing to analyze the present situation on a daily basis so that we can take timely action.

Our business performance in the first quarter of 2021 was only marginally impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Our supply chains have remained intact, and we have sufficient liquidity, as well as firmly committed credit facilities that have not yet been utilized.

Business performance in Q1 2021

Our business developed well in the first quarter of 2021. We registered high demand worldwide and were able to increase volume sales considerably. Sales and adjusted EBITDA improved year-on-year. The chemicals divisions all reported higher earnings.

Sales by quarter

The Evonik Group's sales increased by 4 percent to €3,358 million. Organic sales growth was 8 percent, driven by higher volumes and improved selling prices. By contrast, exchange rates had a negative effect.

a Capital expenditures for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment.

The Specialty Additives division reported a 6 percent rise in sales to €907 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was driven by considerably higher volumes, while prices were stable. The increase was reduced by currency effects.

There was a significant upturn in demand for additives for the coatings industry in all regions, resulting in perceptible sales growth. Since demand for consumer durables continued to rise, we also registered a rise in sales of our additives for polyurethane foams, for example, for mattresses and refrigerators. Demand for products for renewable energies was good, especially in Asia, and demand for products for the construction industry remained robust.

Sales Specialty Additives

Adjusted EBITDA rose by 14 percent to €273 million, mainly because volumes were higher. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved from 28.1 percent to an excellent level of 30.1 percent.

In the Nutrition & Care division, sales were 4 percent higher at €780 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was driven by an improvement in selling prices, along with a slight increase in volumes. However, the increase was held back by currency effects.

Essential amino acids posted stable sales. While demand remained good and selling prices increased, exchange rates had a negative effect. There was good demand for health and care products, resulting in higher sales in the health & care business. Active ingredients, especially for cosmetics applications, continued their positive development. Pharmaceutical applications had a slightly weaker start to the year for project-related reasons, but this is expected to be more than offset in subsequent quarters.

Sales Nutrition & Care

Adjusted EBITDA advanced 21 percent to €143 million thanks to higher selling prices and active cost management. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly from 15.8 percent in the prior-year period to 18.3 percent.

a Capital expenditures for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment.

In the Smart Materials division, sales rose 6 percent to €909 million in the first quarter of 2021. This was driven by higher volumes and the initial consolidation of PeroxyChem (from February 2020) and Porocel (from November 2020). The improvement was held back by slightly lower selling prices and negative currency effects.

Looking at inorganic products, our business with silicas for tires benefited from a global economic upturn. Demand for products for the hygiene and care sectors and environmental applications remained robust. Our catalysts business benefited from the initial consolidation of the Porocel business, which was acquired in November 2020. Overall, inorganic products generated higher sales than in the prior-year period. In the polymers business, high-performance polymers registered good demand from the automotive industry. Our polyamide 12 powder for 3D printing also posted higher sales.

Sales Smart Materials

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4 percent to €173 million, driven mainly by volumes. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.0 percent, which was around the prior-period level.

Sales fell 1 percent to €580 million in the Performance Materials division in the first quarter of 2021. Higher prices and negative currency effects almost canceled each other out.

Sales of C4 products increased as demand picked up and selling prices rose. The development of the superabsorbents' business was held back by lower production as a result of storms.

Sales in the Technology & Infrastructure division declined by 8 percent to €169 million in the first quarter of 2021, principally due to weaker demand for services by external customers at our sites. Adjusted EBITDA declined by 15 percent to €29 million, mainly as a consequence of higher energy supply costs.

12 QUARTERLY STATEMENT Q1 2021 EVONIK

Financial condition

The cash flow from operating activities increased by €197 million to €494 million, principally because of the improved operating performance and lower tax payments. While cash outflows for investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment were basically unchanged, the free cash flow increased by €199 million to €312 million.

Cash flow from other investing activities -100 129
Cash flow from financing activities -169 -73
Change in cash and cash equivalents -156 368

The cash inflow of €129 million from other investing activities mainly resulted from the sale of current securities. The cash outflow for financing activities of €73 million mainly related to the repayment of financial debt.

Net financial debt was €2,704 million, a decrease of €182 million compared with December 31, 2020. This was mainly attributable to the high free cash flow.

On April 20, 2021, Moody's altered Evonik's rating from Baa1 with a negative outlook to Baa2 with a stable outlook. Standard & Poor's rating is still BBB+ with a stable outlook. Both are still solid investment grade ratings.

In the first quarter of 2021, additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (capital expenditures) totaled €130 million, which was below the prior-year figure of €198 million. In principle, there is a slight timing difference in cash outflows for property, plant and equipment. The biggest individual project is the construction of a production complex for the specialty polymer polyamide 12, which started in 2019. This facility is scheduled to come on stream in 2021.

Expected development

Progress with vaccinations to protect against coronavirus and expectations that the pandemic will subside should result in a clear global economic recovery in 2021. However, the global economic situation is still dominated by considerable uncertainty: while the accommodating monetary and fiscal policies around the world will likely be continued and should support the economic recovery, there are various risk factors such as the conflict between China and the USA as well as ongoing geopolitical tension and inflation risks. We have increased our forecast for economic growth in 2021 from 4.4 percent to 5.0 percent, mainly due to the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in the USA.

Our forecast is based on the following assumptions:

  • Economic development: 5.0 percent (previously: 4.4 percent)
  • Euro/US dollar exchange rate: US\$1.20
  • Internal raw material index: higher than in the prior year

Sales and earnings

Evonik still anticipates that sales will be between €12.0 billion and €14.0 billion in 2021 (2020: €12.2 billion). The growth divisions will benefit further from the resilience and quality they demonstrated in the coronavirus crisis and continue their long-term growth trend. In light of the positive start to the year overall, a strong first quarter, and the positive outlook for the second quarter, we are giving more detailed guidance for adjusted EBITDA. We now expect adjusted EBITDA to be between €2.1 billion and €2.3 billion, compared with our previous guidance of between €2.0 billion and €2.3 billion (2020: €1,906 million).

We expect the development of the chemical divisions to be as follows:

Despite the challenging conditions, in 2020, the Specialty Additives division was able to maintain its business performance at the pre-crisis level. This year, the division will once again benefit from its attractive business model, with high demand for customized, mission-critical solutions for customers. We therefore expect that this division's earnings will be slightly above the prior-year level (2020: €857 million).

For the Nutrition & Care division, we assume that the structural growth trend in our resilient end-markets will continue. We expect business in the consumer goods, nutrition, and healthcare areas to develop positively without cyclical exposure. Overall, we anticipate that this division's earnings will be well above the prior-year level (2020: €560 million).

In the Smart Materials division, we anticipate an unchanged, positive development in hygiene, personal care, and environmental applications. Moreover, this division should benefit from the ongoing recovery in the automotive and coatings end-markets. The PeroxyChem and Porocel acquisitions will also have a positive effect on sales and earnings. Overall, we expect earnings to be significantly higher year-on-year (2020: €529 million).

The Performance Materials division should report higher volumes than in the previous year and a significant improvement in margins. Overall, we assume that earnings in this division will be substantially above the low prior-year level (2020: €88 million).

The expected increase in raw material prices could have a slightly negative impact on the growth divisions; however, it should have positive effects for Performance Materials. Therefore, it should be balanced out overall across our portfolio.

The return on capital employed (ROCE) is expected to increase slightly year-on-year in 2021 (2020: 6.1 percent).

Financing and investments

We expect cash outflows for investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment to be around €900 million (2020: €956 million).

For the free cash flow, we expect the cash conversion rate1 to reach the previous year's very good level of approximately 40 percent (2020: 41 percent; free cash flow: €780 million). This will be driven by the following positive factors: our high investment discipline, focused management of net working capital, and bonus and tax payments at an unchanged low level.

Restatement of prior-year figures

Restatement in the segment report

Effective July 1, 2020, the executive board of Evonik Industries AG introduced a new corporate structure. The new chemicals divisions—Specialty Additives, Nutrition & Care, Smart Materials, and Performance Materials—are more balanced in terms of size and profitability. Moreover, clearer alignment to the technology platforms allows more selective management. As part of this, employees from the research and development units in the chemicals divisions were transferred to the support functions, which were reported in the Services segment until December 31, 2020. At the same time, the administrative functions were optimized.

The Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Middle East & Africa regions were combined on July 1, 2020, so they can operate as one region in the future and respond to the upcoming challenges.

The goodwill and identified hidden reserves relating to former acquisitions of shares in Evonik Operations GmbH (Evonik Operations), which were previously reported in "Corporate, consolidation" in the segment report, have been allocated among the segments on a pro rata basis since December 31, 2020.

Effective January 1, 2021, the executive board of Evonik Industries AG further optimized the functions that support the executive board and the operating divisions. The executive board now decides on the allocation of resources and evaluates earnings power at the level of the Technology & Infrastructure division, which was previously part of the Services segment and is therefore now a reporting segment. This division provides technology and infrastructure services for the chemical industry and drives forward production-related innovation and digitalization. At the same time, the support functions formerly bundled in the Services segment have been combined with the former corporate functions to form enabling functions with global responsibility for supporting the executive board and the operating divisions.

The prior-year figures have been restated.
