About this video

Kemira Oyj reported its Q2 2025 results on July 18, 2025, delivering solid profitability in the face of continued market softness and unfavorable currency movements. Revenue for the quarter fell 5% year-over-year to EUR 693.4 million, attributed to declines in Packaging & Hygiene Solutions and Water Solutions, while Fiber Essentials remained stable. The company cited declining sales prices and volumes as well as the weakened US dollar as key drags on performance, though sales volumes increased sequentially compared to Q1 2025. Operative EBITDA decreased by 6% to EUR 131.8 million, with a margin of 19.0%. Profitability gains in Water Solutions and Fiber Essentials were offset by a decline in Packaging & Hygiene Solutions. Operative EBIT dropped 11% to EUR 83.4 million (margin of 12.0%). Earnings per share (diluted) were EUR 0.35, down from EUR 0.40 in Q2 2024. Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 63.8 million, compared to EUR 109.4 million in the prior year period. During the quarter, management launched a profitability improvement program in Packaging & Hygiene Solutions to address sustained challenges in that segment. Across the business, effective cost control and resilient margins highlighted the flexibility of Kemira’s operating model. 2025 Outlook: Kemira revised its full-year guidance as ongoing demand softness—especially in packaging and pulp customer industries—and currency headwinds persist. The company now expects 2025 revenue between EUR 2,700 and 2,950 million, and operative EBITDA between EUR 510 and 580 million, both reflecting a more cautious view compared to earlier guidance.
