-
Sales of €2.3 billion, down by 7.3% year-on-year:
- Slight volume growth in the 3 Specialty Materials segments (+2.7%)
- Good momentum in certain markets such as structural bonding, sports, automotive and energy
- Negative 8.4% price effect in Specialty Materials, mainly reflecting lower raw material prices and still unfavorable market conditions in upstream acrylics and PVDF
- EBITDA at €350 million, down slightly year-on-year (€367 million in Q1'23), supported in particular by the improving performance of industrial adhesives, high performance polymers and the downstream of Coating Solutions, but impacted by lower PVDF and acrylics prices compared with the high comparison base of Q1'23
- EBITDA margin up slightly to 15.0%, reflecting the dynamic management of selling prices and the benefit of the Group's innovation in higher value-added solutions
- Adjusted net income of €138 million, representing €1.84 per share (€2.17 in Q1’23)
- Recurring cash flow of negative €60 million (negative €21 million in Q1’23), reflecting the usual first-quarter seasonality in working capital
-
Net debt broadly stable at €3,063 million (€2,930 million at
end-December 2023 ) including hybrid bonds and representing around 2x last-twelve-months EBITDA - Full-year 2024 guidance confirmed: the Group confirms its 2024 target of EBITDA estimated at between €1.5 billion and €1.7 billion, with growth weighted more toward the second half of the year, and driven by the ramp-up of major industrial projects and a gradual improvement in market conditions. Second-quarter EBITDA should be slightly up compared with the prior year.

Continuation of the targeted acquisition strategy in adhesives, with the planned acquisition, for an enterprise value of
US$150 million , of Dow's flexible packaging laminating adhesives business (sales ofUS$250 million )
Following Arkema’s Board of Directors’ meeting held on
"In a context in continuity with that of Q4 2023, financial performance was solid and EBITDA close to that of first-quarter 2023.
The start of 2024 was also marked by a significant new milestone for our Adhesive Solutions segment, with the highly value-creative planned acquisition of Dow's adhesives business for flexible packaging. With its leading technologies and top-quality manufacturing facilities, this product line will perfectly complement our offering in high-tech industrial adhesives, as was the case with the acquisition of Ashland’s adhesives two years ago.
Finally, we are continuing our efforts to decarbonize our value chain with the signature of several new green electricity supply agreements."

FIRST-QUARTER 2024 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
At €2,341 million, Group sales declined by 7.3% compared with first-quarter 2023, impacted primarily by a negative 7.2% price effect, which reflects lower raw materials and still unfavorable market conditions in upstream acrylics and PVDF. Broadly stable at a negative 0.2% in an environment of continued weak demand, volumes rose by 2.7% in Specialty Materials, up in each of the three segments, and were down in Intermediates. Certain markets, such as structural bonding, batteries, automotive, energy and sports were well oriented, while construction seems to be stabilizing at a low level. The 1.8% positive scope effect is linked to the acquisition of PIAM in Advanced Materials and, to a lesser extent, Polytec PT and Arc Building Products in Adhesive Solutions. Finally, the currency effect was a negative 1.7%, reflecting essentially the depreciation of the yuan and the US dollar against the euro.
Against a still high comparison base in upstream acrylics and PVDF in first-quarter 2023, Group EBITDA decreased slightly to €350 million (€367 million in Q1'23), supported by improving performances in industrial adhesives, high performance polymers and the downstream of Coating Solutions. The Group's EBITDA margin rose to 15.0% (14.5% in Q1'23) despite the decline observed in upstream acrylics, benefiting from the evolution of the portfolio towards higher value-added solutions and reflecting the dynamic management of selling prices.
Recurring operating income (REBIT) of €202 million (€234 million in Q1’23) included €148 million in recurring depreciation and amortization, up €15 million compared with first-quarter 2023, mainly reflecting the consolidation of PIAM and the start-up of new production units. In first-quarter 2024, the REBIT margin thus amounted to 8.6% (9.3% in Q1’23).
Taking into account a tax rate excluding exceptional items of 22% of recurring operating income, adjusted net income amounted to €138 million (€162 million in Q1’23), i.e.€1.84 per share.
CASH FLOW AND NET DEBT AT
Recurring cash flow of negative €60 million (negative €21 million in Q1’23) included the usual business seasonality of the first quarter. At
Free cash flow was a negative €82 million (negative €46 million in Q1’23), including a non-recurring cash outflow of €22 million related in particular to start-up costs for the
Cash flow from portfolio management operations represented a net outflow of €21 million, corresponding mainly to the acquisition of Arc Building Products. Last year it amounted to a positive €30 million and included the proceeds from the disposal of
As a result, net debt (including hybrid bonds) came in at €3,063 million (€2,930 million at end-2023), and the net debt to last-twelve-months EBITDA ratio was stable compared with the end of last year, standing at around 2x.

Sales in the Adhesive Solutions segment amounted to €680 million, down by 2.6% year-on-year, reflecting a negative 3.7% price effect in a context of decreasing raw material prices, and a negative 1.6% currency effect. The segment’s volumes rose by 1.7%, supported by increased demand in structural adhesives and packaging in all three key regions around the world, with construction activity slightly down. The scope effect was a positive 1.0%, corresponding to the integration of Polytec PT and Arc Building Products.
At €105 million, EBITDA was up sharply by 12.9% compared with first-quarter 2023, and EBITDA margin improved by 210 bps to reach the very good level of 15.4%. This good performance was driven by dynamic pricing management, operational excellence actions, the successful integration of acquisitions and the development of higher value-added solutions.

The information disclosed in this press release may contain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial position, results of operations, business and strategy of
In a context of significant geopolitical tensions, where the outlook for the global economy remains uncertain, the retained assumptions and forward-looking statements could ultimately prove inaccurate.
Such statements are based on management's current views and assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate and are subject to risk factors such as (but not limited to) changes in raw materials prices, currency fluctuations, the pace at which cost-reduction projects are implemented, escalating geopolitical tensions, and changes in general economic and financial conditions.

Information by segment is presented in accordance with
Details of the main alternative performance indicators used by the Group are provided in the tables appended to this press release. For the purpose of analyzing its results and defining its targets, the Group also uses EBITDA margin, which corresponds to EBITDA expressed as a percentage of sales, EBITDA equaling recurring operating income (REBIT) plus recurring depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets, as well as REBIT margin, which corresponds to recurring operating income (REBIT) expressed as a percentage of sales.
For the purpose of tracking changes in its results, and particularly its sales figures, the Group analyzes the following effects (unaudited analyses):
- scope effect: the impact of changes in the Group's scope of consolidation, which arise from acquisitions and divestments of entire businesses or as a result of the first-time consolidation or deconsolidation of entities. Increases or reductions in capacity are not included in the scope effect;
- currency effect: the mechanical impact of consolidating accounts denominated in currencies other than the euro at different exchange rates from one period to another. The currency effect is calculated by applying the foreign exchange rates of the prior period to the figures for the period under review;
- price effect: the impact of changes in average selling prices is estimated by comparing the weighted average net unit selling price of a range of related products in the period under review with their weighted average net unit selling price in the prior period, multiplied, in both cases, by the volumes sold in the period under review; and
- volume effect: the impact of changes in volumes is estimated by comparing the quantities delivered in the period under review with the quantities delivered in the prior period, multiplied, in both cases, by the weighted average net unit selling price in the prior period.
