Wacker Chemie AG: WACKER Lowers Full-Year Outlook

Munich (pta014/18.07.2025/14:03 UTC+2)

Munich – Based on today's latest estimates, Wacker Chemie AG (WACKER) expects key financial performance indicators for 2025 to be lower than previously predicted. This is due to the ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, which is resulting in weak demand among customers in numerous segments. This situation is compounded by the unfavorable development in EUR/USD exchange rates since the beginning of the second quarter and the expectation that the current exchange rate level will remain unchanged. As far as polysilicon is concerned, the company had also expected the trade policy related uncertainties in the US market for solar polysilicon to be resolved over the course of the year, allowing demand to recover. This development has so far not materialized.

In detail, WACKER's expectations are now as follows:

Group sales outlook for 2025 is now in the range of €5.5 billion to €5.9 billion (previous guidance: €6.1 billion to €6.4 billion). Full-year EBITDA is now expected to reach between €500 million and €700 million (previous guidance: €700 million to €900 million). The current average market expectations put Group sales at €5.8 billion and EBITDA at around €670 million (source: Vara Research, July 16, 2025). The company now expects to report a more or less balanced net cash flow (previous guidance: positive, significantly higher than in the previous year).
