April – June 2026 Interim Report
In Q2, Kemira’s operating environment continued to be challenging. While revenue remained at the previous year’s level thanks to M&A driven volume growth, profitability suffered from the increased raw material and logistics costs resulting from the Iran war. As a consequence, the operative EBITDA margin declined to 16.1%. Measures have been taken to mitigate the impacts of the slow demand and the increased cost base, to ensure Kemira’s competitiveness in a volatile and soft market.

Growth drivers
Water and renewable solutions are at the heart of Kemira.

While we aim to accelerate growth in these areas, we continue to take excellent care of our base business.
