Kemira Oyj, Inside information, June 10, 2026 at 2.45 p.m.
Kemira lowers its profitability outlook for 2026 due to increased raw material and transportation costs resulting from the prolonged war in Iran. The negative impact of rising costs on Kemira’s second-quarter financial performance has been greater than previously expected. Kemira has mitigated the impact of cost increases through price hikes, but their effect comes with a delay and has so far been lower than anticipated due to weak demand in the company’s most significant customer industries.
Kemira now expects revenue for 2026 to be between EUR 2,600 and 3,000 million and operative EBITDA to be between EUR 400 and 500 million in 2026. Previously, Kemira estimated revenue to be between EUR 2,600 and 3,000 million and operative EBITDA to be between EUR 470 and 570 million. The background assumptions for the outlook have also been updated.
