Outlook for 2025 (published on October 24, 2025)
Revenue:
Kemira’s revenue is expected to be between EUR 2,700 and EUR 2,950 million in 2025 (reported 2024 revenue: EUR 2,948.1 million).
Operative EBITDA:
Kemira’s operative EBITDA is expected to be between EUR 510 and EUR 580 million in 2025 (reported 2024 operative EBITDA: EUR 585.4 million).
Assumptions behind the outlook (updated):
The continued global economic uncertainty is expected to result in softer volume demand in Kemira’s end-markets. The uncertainty is expected to impact the packaging and pulp market in particular, while the water treatment market is expected to grow in all regions. In a weaker macroeconomic setting, the raw material environment is expected to remain rather stable as a whole. The outlook assumes no major disruptions to Kemira’s manufacturing operations, to the supply chain or to Kemira’s energy-generating assets in Finland. The outlook assumes the US dollar to remain approximately on the same level as in the end of Q2 2025.
Earlier on July 10, 2025, Kemira issued a profit warning and downgraded its outlook for 2025. Read the entire release here.
