Our operational business developed well overall in the first quarter of 2025 despite a lack of global economic impetus. Thanks to higher demand and the continued focus on cost discipline, adjusted EBITDA improved considerably year-on-year.

The Evonik Group's sales fell 1 percent to €3,777 million. Looking at the organic change in sales, higher volumes were offset by falling selling prices. The 1 percent drop in Group sales resulted from the sale of the Superabsorbents business effective August 31, 2024, while slightly positive currency effects lessened the reduction.

Adjusted EBITDA improved by 7 percent to €560 million, principally because of higher volumes and continued cost discipline. The adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 14.8 percent, compared with 13.8 percent in the prior-year period.

The adjustments contained expenses for structural measures, especially for the ongoing projects to optimize individual businesses and the sale of a small investment of the Nutrition & Care division. The other special items mainly related to the reversal of asset impairments in the Nutrition & Care division. The prior-year adjustments of -€14 million were mainly in connection with the sale of the Superabsorbents business in August 2024. The financial result improved to -€29 million due to a reimbursement of interest on taxes. Income before income taxes, continuing operations increased by 19 percent to €270 million thanks to the improved business performance. Income taxes were only €34 million. The reasons for this included taxes relating to other periods, lower foreign tax rates, and tax-free income. Net income rose by 49 percent to €233 million.
After adjustment for special items, adjusted net income was 40 percent higher at €275 million. Adjusted earnings per share increased from €0.42 in the prior-year period to €0.59.

a Continuing operations.
As of January 1, 2025, Evonik split parts of the Infrastructure division into cross-site technology and site-specific infrastructure activities. The infrastructure activities at the large sites in Marl and Wesseling in Germany are now operated on a stand-alone basis and remain in the Infrastructure division, along with the Performance Intermediates business line. Other, smaller sites, which often only serve individual business lines, were allocated directly to the chemicals divisions. The cross-site technology activities are now managed in a newly established function within the Enabling functions.

In the Specialty Additives division, sales grew by 1 percent to €923 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by a slight increase in volumes and positive currency effects, while selling prices were slightly lower than in the prior-year period.
Products for the paints and coatings industry performed well and volumes were significantly higher; sales were therefore considerably higher than in the prior-year period. Sales of crosslinkers increased along with demand. Sales of oil additives also increased due to higher volumes worldwide. Additives for polyurethane foams and consumer durables reported lower sales than in the prior-year period as a result of lower volumes.

Prior-year figures restated.
Adjusted EBITDA rose 1 percent to €201 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.9 percent, the same level as in the prior-year period (Q1 2024: 21.8 percent).

In the Nutrition & Care division, sales increased by 12 percent to €1,007 million in the first quarter of 2025, mainly as a result of higher volumes.
Business with essential amino acids (Animal Nutrition) posted higher sales as a result of a considerable rise in volumes and a compensation payment due to the termination of a supply agreement by a customer. In the Health & Care business, sales were boosted principally by stronger business with active pharmaceutical ingredients (Drug Substances), whereas there was a volume-induced reduction in sales of care products.

Prior-year figures restated.
Adjusted EBITDA improved 35 percent to €197 million. This mainly resulted from a considerable rise in volumes, cost savings from optimization of the business model for Animal Nutrition, and the compensation payment due to the termination of a supply agreement by a customer. The adjusted EBITDA margin rose significantly, from 16.2 percent in the prior-year period to 19.6 percent.

Sales in the Smart Materials division were around the prior-year level at €1,098 million in the first quarter of 2025 as volumes and selling prices were virtually unchanged.
Overall, inorganic products registered slightly higher demand at stable selling prices. Sales were slightly lower as a result of lower precious metal prices. In the Polymers business, sales increased due to higher volumes and slightly better prices.

Prior-year figures restated.
Adjusted EBITDA was €149 million, 7 percent below the prior-year figure, which contained royalty income. The adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 14.6 percent in the prior-year period to 13.6 percent.

In the first quarter of 2025, sales in the Infrastructure division were €708 million, 15 percent lower than in the prior-year period, which still contained sales from the Superabsorbents business, which was sold in August 2024. Adjusted EBITDA also decreased by 8 percent to €61 million due to the change in the portfolio. The adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 7.9 percent to 8.6 percent.
Compared with the first three months of 2024, the cash flow from operating activities, continuing operations increased by €7 million to €385 million. The free cash flow improved by €68 million to €195 million, mainly due to lower cash outflows for investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment.

The cash outflow for other investing activities mainly related to the purchase of current securities. The cash inflow from financing activities came principally from the issue of a green bond.
Net financial debt was €3,058 million, a decrease of €195 million compared with December 31, 2024. This was mainly due to the positive free cash flow.

a Excluding derivatives, excluding the liabilities for rebate and bonus agreements.
The increase in financial debt resulted mainly from the issue of a green bond with a nominal value of €500 million and a tenor of five years. The annual coupon is 3.25 percent. Evonik has therefore already covered its financing needs for fiscal 2025, including the redemption of a conventional bond of the same amount that matures in September 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, capital expenditures for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment amounted to €133 million (Q1 2024: €157 million). In principle, there is a slight timing difference in cash outflows for intangible assets, property, plant and equipment. Current major projects include the construction of a production facility for pharmaceutical specialty lipids in Lafayette (Indiana, USA), the expansion of production capacities for SEPURAN® membranes in Austria, and the construction of an aluminum oxide plant in Japan.
Our expectations for global economic conditions in 2025 have deteriorated since the beginning of this year. Since the economic situation entails extremely high uncertainty, we now assume lower global GDP growth of 2.2 percent year-onyear in 2025.1 This growth forecast depends, above all, on the future US economic and trade policy and possible retaliation by trading partners, so it could still prove too optimistic. The introduction or expansion of import duties will hold back growth in all regions, especially North America, and could also cause a renewed rise in inflation in the USA. In addition, the uncertainty relating to trade policy is affecting the stability of the global financial markets. Given the challenging budget conditions in most economies, no significant economic impetus is expected to come from fiscal policy. Moreover, economic growth potential is being held back by structural challenges such as high global debt, the real estate crisis in China, and high energy costs in Europe.
In 2025, the economy could be supported by last year's interest rate cuts and possible further reductions in interest rates. Consumer spending could benefit from the improvement in financing terms and, in Europe in particular, from a renewed rise in real wages and the continued robustness of the labor market. The planned additional spending on infrastructure and defense in Germany is unlikely to have a direct effect on economic growth in 2025.
In view of the very high volatility caused by trade policy developments, we expect that in 2025 the prices of the specific raw materials used by Evonik will be similar to the 2024 level.
Our forecast is based on the following assumptions:
The economic background became more challenging in the first months of 2025. While the prolonged phase of low growth impetus and weak demand is continuing in key end-markets, additional uncertainty is now coming from the increasingly protectionist US trade policy. There is therefore a risk of a further downward trend, especially in the second half of the year. Accordingly, we have reduced our assumption for global economic growth: It will be clearly lower than in the previous year.
Irrespective of these external factors, Evonik is continuing to work on its success in 2025. As in previous years, this is supported principally by our strong focus on cost discipline, with far greater attention now being paid to structural improvements. The Evonik Tailor Made restructuring program and the optimization programs in the operating businesses are increasingly delivering savings. In addition, our global alignment, our position in attractive niches and our innovation growth areas, and the increasing utilization of production capacities completed in recent years will have a positive effect. Last but not least, in the first half of the year, earnings will be supported by the price trend in the Animal Nutrition business, which is better than had been anticipated at the beginning of the year.
1 Forecast by S&P Global of April 15, 2025.
Consequently, Evonik still expects adjusted EBITDA to be between €2.0 billion and €2.3 billion in 2025 (2024: €2,065 million). In 2025, the return on capital employed (ROCE) is expected to improve further compared with the previous year (2024: 7.1 percent).
Evonik reorganized its operational chemicals business as of April 1, 2025. This will be reflected in the external reporting from the second quarter. These operations are divided among two segments, Custom Solutions and Advanced Technologies, which will be managed in a more differentiated manner in the future. Moreover, Evonik split the former Technology & Infrastructure division into cross-site technology and site-specific infrastructure activities as of January 1, 2025 (so this change is applied in this report on the first quarter). At the large sites in Marl and Wesseling in Germany, the infrastructure activities are now operated on a stand-alone basis and form the Infrastructure division. Performance Intermediates will be part of this division until its planned sale. Further, smaller sites, which often only serve individual lines, have been allocated directly to the respective businesses and thus to the chemicals divisions. The cross-site technology activities are now managed in a newly established function within Enabling functions and reported as "Others."
In 2025, the Additives business in the Custom Solutions segment will continue to benefit from its specific customer solutions, which are geared to improving product properties and sustainability profiles. Following a significant improvement last year, growth is expected to be slightly lower this year due to the macroeconomic slowdown. In the Health & Care business, our system solutions for active cosmetic ingredients should continue their strong, above-average, and profitable growth. We will also deliver further batches of our innovative rhamnolipids (biosurfactants) to our customers from the new production plant in Slovakia, which came on stream last year. Overall, we anticipate that this segment's earnings will rise considerably yearon-year (2024: €978 million).
For most businesses in the Advanced Technologies segment, we expect the prolonged phase of weak demand in our markets to continue in 2025. In light of the anticipated sustained growth in the market for our high-performance polymers, the Organics business should benefit from the continued ramp-up of new capacities. For the Animal Nutrition business, we still expect to see a slight normalization of prices for essential amino acids in the second half of the year, despite the better-thanexpected trend in the first half of the year. This depends on the start-up of new production capacities by competitors. Since the market will continue its solid, long-term volume growth, higher volumes, supported by our extended production capacities in Singapore, should partially offset the potential price erosion. Additionally, we will further optimize our cost positions in the various businesses in this segment. Overall, we anticipate that earnings in the Advanced Technologies segment will be around the prior-year level (2024: €1,023 million).
For the Infrastructure segment (including Performance Intermediates) and Others, we forecast a year-on-year reduction in earnings in 2025 (2024: €64 million). We assume that the savings measures introduced will have a positive effect on both Infrastructure and Others. However, this is likely to be overshadowed by the weak demand at Performance Intermediates.
Evonik is still planning cash outflows for investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment of €850 million in 2025, similar to the previous year (2024: €840 million). This keeps us below the long-term average and strikes a balance between focused investments in future growth and disciplined spending.
Thanks to this disciplined approach and the good earnings growth, Evonik consistently generates a high absolute free cash flow and thus an attractive cash conversion rate. We will continue this in 2025. We anticipate that the cash conversion rate will again be around our target of 40 percent in 2025 (2024: 42 percent; absolute free cash flow: €873 million). The improved operating result and slight net working capital inflows should make a positive contribution to free cash flow. By contrast, negative contributions will come from higher bonus payments for the successful performance in 2024.

As of January 1, 2025, Evonik split parts of the Infrastructure division into cross-site technology and site-specific infrastructure activities. The infrastructure activities at the large sites in Marl and Wesseling in Germany now operate on a stand-alone basis and remain in the Infrastructure division, along with the Performance Intermediates business line. Further, smaller sites, which often only serve individual business lines, have been allocated directly to the respective businesses and thus to the chemicals divisions. The cross-site technology activities are now managed in a newly established function within the Enabling functions. The prior-year figures have been restated accordingly.
