Dr. Ilham Kadri, CEO

"The third quarter saw us deliver a resilient margin and strong free cash flow generation in a challenging macroeconomic environment. Our strong value proposition, and continued focus on what we can control drove another quarter of sequential EBITDA margin improvement. In addition, we have continued to execute our pure play specialty strategy with the recently announced divestment of the Oil & Gas business at an attractive valuation.

"For the balance of the year we continue to see a slower recovery in volumes and have adjusted our full year outlook accordingly, broadly aligned with consensus expectations.

"Finally, it has been the privilege of my career to serve Syensqo and its exceptional people for the past seven years. Together, we raised our ambitions, navigated crises, accomplished the historic demerger with Solvay, and launched one of the industry's most innovative specialty companies. I want to express my deepest gratitude to every team member, whose dedication and belief made this transformation possible. As Syensqo steps boldly into its next chapter, I thank you for your passion, resilience, and the spirit of exploration that continues to shape our shared future. With deep gratitude for the trust and partnership of the investor and analyst community, the best is yet to come."

2025 Outlook

For the fourth quarter, we expect macroeconomic and demand weakness to continue across most of our end markets given evolving tariff and geopolitical dynamics. Over the course of the year, these external factors have seen customers adapting to broader demand uncertainty. For example, we see a slower recovery in Electronics volumes in the second half of the year, as customers manage their shorter-term inventories. In addition, we now expect the previously flagged destocking at a major civil aerospace customer to continue throughout 2025. Nevertheless, strong underlying demand in both civil aerospace and space & defence applications is expected to support strong growth in Composite Materials in 2026 and beyond.

We continue to benefit from cost saving initiatives and are accelerating initiatives to further strengthen our foundations for longer-term growth, targeting more than €200 million of run rate savings by the end of 2026. As demonstrated in our strong third quarter performance, cash flow generation remains a key area of focus and we will continue to take actions to mitigate volume uncertainty.

Our full year 2025 outlook, which also takes into account a further strengthening of the Euro against our major trading currencies, is now as follows:

  • Underlying EBITDA of approximately €1.25 billion
  • Capital Expenditures to be below €600 million
  • Free Cash Flow of approximately €325 million

From a cashflow perspective, 2025 includes outflows related to the separation from Solvay and the final year of material investments related to the expansion of the Tavaux site in France, which are not expected to repeat in 2026.

Net sales of €1.52 billion in the third quarter of 2025 were 7% lower on a reported basis, or 3% lower on an organic basis, versus the third quarter of 2024, in a challenging market environment. This decrease was primarily due to lower volumes in Specialty Polymers, partially offset by higher volumes in Technology Solutions.

On a sequential basis, underlying EBITDA decreased by 3% as higher underlying EBITDA in Specialty Polymers and Oil & Gas, as well as cost savings were offset primarily by lower underlying EBITDA in Novecare. Underlying EBITDA in Technology Solutions and Aroma Performance was unchanged.

Net sales bridge (€ million) Underlying EBITDA bridge (€ million)

Gross profit of €484 million in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by 15% on a reported basis versus the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by lower year-on-year gross profit in Specialty Polymers and Novecare.

On a year-on-year basis, gross margin of 31.9% in the third quarter of 2025 contracted by approximately 310 basis points. This was primarily due to lower gross margin in Specialty Polymers and Novecare. Sequentially, gross margin was unchanged.

Underlying EBITDA of €326 million in the third quarter of 2025 declined by 13% on a reported basis, or 10% organically versus the third quarter of 2024 driven by lower year-on-year gross profit as described above, partially offset by lower year-on-year operating expenses, underpinned by ongoing cost saving initiatives.

Underlying EBITDA margin of 21.5% in the third quarter of 2025 contracted by approximately 140 basis points or 170 basis points organically, versus the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower volumes in Specialty Polymers and unfavourable input costs in Novecare, partially offset by lower Corporate & Business segment expenses.

On a sequential basis, underlying EBITDA margin expanded by approximately 40 basis points as higher underlying EBITDA margin in the Materials segment was partially offset by lower underlying EBITDA margin in the Performance & Care segment.

Summary of Cash Flow and Net Debt

Cash flow from operating activities totaled €331 million in the third quarter of 2025 versus €210 million in the third quarter of 2024. The year-on-year improvement was primarily driven by higher working capital-related cash inflows and the compensation from Edison following a decision of the International Chamber of Commerce Tribunal, partially offset by lower year-on-year profitability.

Cash conversion was 76% on a rolling 12-month basis.

Free cash flow to shareholders totaled €250 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to €27 million in the third quarter of 2024. This included €140 million of capital expenditure, comprising €58 million of growth capital expenditure and €82 million of sustenance capital expenditure. Capital expenditure in 2025 was 34% lower than the comparable period in 2024.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled €1,329 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025.

Q3 2025 underlying EBITDA to Free cash flow bridge (€ million)

Underlying net financial debt amounted to €2,063 million at the end of September 2025, versus €1,859 million at the end of 2024 and €2,222 million at the end of June 2025, resulting in a leverage ratio of 1.6x and a gearing ratio of 25%. The increase in underlying net financial debt versus the end of 2024 was primarily driven by shareholder returns (dividend payment and share repurchases) and separation costs, partially offset by positive free cash flow.

Glossary

  • Cash flow from operating activities, or Operating cash flow are those generated from/(used by) the principal revenue-producing activities of the Group and other activities that are not investing or financing activities
  • Cash conversion Is a ratio used to measure the conversion of EBITDA into cash according to the formula ((Underlying EBITDA +/- Changes in working capital - Sustenance Capex) / (Underlying EBITDA). Sustenance capital expenditure includes capital expenditures for maintenance, for the implementation of the One Planet strategy and for Digital Transformation initiatives (excluding the ERP Rebuild Capex) as well as payment of lease liabilities
  • EPS is earnings per share
  • ERP Rebuild Project Costs: This significant multi-year project aims at the harmonization of the ERPs used by the Syensqo Group and at implementing new technologies that will position the Group for sustained growth and efficiency. It will generate costs and capital expenditures over the next 4-5 years
  • Free cash flow to Syensqo shareholders: Free cash flow after payment of net interests, coupons of perpetual hybrid bonds, dividends to non-controlling interests and capital injections and capital reimbursements from/to non-controlling interests. This represents the cash flow available to Syensqo shareholders, to pay their dividend and/or to reduce the net financial debt.
  • Gearing ratio: Underlying net debt / (underlying net debt + Equity Hybrid bonds in equity)
  • Net financial debt: Non-current financial debt + current financial debt cash & cash equivalents other financial instruments. Underlying net debt reclassified as debt 100% of the hybrid perpetual bonds, considered as equity under IFRS. It is a key measure of the strength of the Group's financial position and is widely used by credit rating agencies
  • Organic growth: growth excluding scope changes and forex conversion effects. The calculation is made by rebasing the prior period at the business scope and forex conversion rate of the current period
  • Return on Capital Employed (ROCE): the ratio between underlying EBIT (before adjustment for the amortization of Purchase Price Allocation - PPA) and capital employed. Capital employed consists of net working capital, tangible and intangible assets, goodwill, rights-of-use assets, investments in associates & joint ventures and other investments
  • Underlying figures adjust IFRS figures for the non-cash Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) accounting impacts related to acquisitions, for the coupons of perpetual hybrid bonds classified as equity under IFRS but treated as debt in the underlying statements, and for other elements to generate a measure that avoids distortion and facilitates the appreciation of performance and comparability of results over time
  • Underlying net financial charges include the coupons on perpetual hybrid bonds (accounted as dividends under IFRS, and thereby excluded from the income statement)
