Development#
A condensed summary per reporting period as running text: what changed operationally, which drivers management names, how earnings and cash flow developed. Methodology
FY2026
In fiscal year 2026, Evonik Industries AG generated revenue of – million and reported adjusted EPS of – 32. First-quarter revenue was 3,427 million, with sales down 9% year-over-year as a 5% currency headwind and a 3% organic decline weighed on results; adjusted EBITDA of €475 million slightly exceeded expectations, supported by a late-March volume uptick 26. Second-quarter revenue rose to 3,893 million, with sales up 11% year-over-year on higher volumes and prices; adjusted EBITDA of €630 million came in ahead of expectations, primarily driven by strong Advanced Technologies segment performance, and H1 free cash flow of €232 million improved significantly from €16 million in H1 2025 29. Following the second-quarter beat, Evonik raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook considerably to €2.0-2.2 billion and lifted its sales guidance to around €15 billion, while extending the Evonik Tailor Made efficiency programme through 2029 targeting an additional 3,200 FTE reductions 29 31.
FY2025
Full-year revenue totaled 14,069 million, weighed down by FX headwinds, non-core divestitures, and weaker industrial demand that intensified through the middle quarters of the year 136 21 24. Adjusted EBITDA reached approximately €1,874 million for FY2025, meeting the revised full-year guidance of approximately €1.9 billion issued in Q3 25. The full-year operating result was a loss of 420 million 136, burdened in part by a €170 million impairment charge on the Oxeno C4 business recorded in Q3 24. Full-year free cash flow amounted to 695 million 136, supported by a strong Q4 recovery driven by decisive net working capital management 25. Net financial debt stood at 3,670 million at year-end 136, and Evonik introduced a new dividend policy of €1 per share for fiscal 2025 alongside a 40-60% payout ratio for subsequent years 25.
FY2024
Evonik Industries AG generated full-year 2024 revenue of 15,157 million euros and reported adjusted EBITDA of €2,065 million, up 25% year-over-year with broad-based growth across all divisions 17. Free cash flow reached 873 million euros in FY 2024, corresponding to a 42% cash conversion rate, well ahead of the prior year 17. The company launched the Evonik Tailor Made reorganization program in Q1 2024 targeting €400 million in savings, and completed the divestiture of the Superabsorbers business on August 31, 2024 15. Net debt at year-end stood at 3,735 million euros, while the dividend was maintained at €1.17 per share for FY 2024 17. A new two-segment group structure with Custom Solutions and Advanced Technologies was announced, set to take effect in Q2 2025 17.
FY2023
Evonik Industries AG reported group sales of EUR 15,267 million in FY2023, down 17% year-over-year as volumes declined across most divisions and selling prices fell, particularly in Animal Nutrition and Performance Intermediates 9. Adjusted EBITDA fell 33% to €1,656 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin declining to 10.8%, finishing within the revised guidance range of €1.6 to 1.8 billion despite €50 million in exceptional headwinds in Q4 7 9. The group recorded a net loss of EUR 452 million compared to net income of €540 million in the prior year, primarily driven by impairment losses totaling €736 million on assets including Animal Nutrition facilities and Silica 9. Free cash flow of EUR 801 million was broadly stable year-over-year with a record cash conversion rate of 48%, supported by improved net working capital management and disciplined capital spending 9. In response, Evonik executed a €250 million contingency savings program, divested the Lülsdorf site, and launched the Evonik Tailor Made reorganization targeting an additional €400 million in savings by end-2026 8 9.
