The company confirmed its outlook for the year, stating that while the global environment remains challenging and volatile, Arkema is on track to deliver its FY’26 guidance of a slightly higher year-on-year EBITDA at constant FX.

Chairman and CEO, Thierry Le Hénaff, commented on the results, “In a complex macroeconomic and geopolitical context, Arkema delivered a solid performance in the third quarter, benefiting from its balanced geographical footprint, its strong positioning in fast-growing specialty applications and strict operational discipline. I would like to sincerely thank our teams for their ongoing commitment and their agility, which are critical to making a difference in this environment.

“We do not expect the external conditions to ease in the coming months, and we will continue to focus on the elements under our control, including all the initiatives which will make us stronger in the long run.

“The resilience of our current performance highlights the consistency of Arkema’s journey and the relevance of its deep transformation over the past 20 years towards Specialty Materials, focused on our three core capabilities of creating, bonding and protecting materials. Looking ahead, I am convinced that we have all the foundations in place to continue to grow and enhance our profitability, building on our solid asset base, cutting-edge technologies and strong innovation potential.”
