Outlook

The first quarter of 2025 recorded an increase in profitability compared to the same period of the previous year. This was thanks to both the recovery of the US fiber for carpet sector and the increase in sales of ECONYL® products, despite higher energy costs.

The early achievement of the target of 60% of ECONYL® products on fiber turnover confirms the strong market appreciation for sustainable products.

The order intake suggests a positive trend for the fibers for carpet and the polymers product lines. However, some weaknesses remain in the textile fiber sector.

Regarding the pressure on markets due to tariffs and duties, the Company does not identify direct impacts on its activities while continuing to monitor the development of the trade war for indirect impacts on demand.

The targets defined in the business plan remain confirmed and the Company is committed to achieving them.
