Today we announced our half-year results: Group revenues for the first half of the year amounted to € 1.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA amounted to € 393 million. In recent months, short- and medium-term growth projections for the electric vehicles market have been scaled back substantially, significantly affecting Umicore’s Battery Materials business. Today, we share the elements of how we are adjusting to this new reality. In the coming months, we will continue to thoroughly reassess our Battery Materials activities, always in close alignment with our customers and partners. We are shaping a new way forward and will share the outcomes during a Capital Markets Day in Q1 2025. Our foundation businesses continue to provide strong cash flows and returns, evidenced by their robust performance over the first half of this year. This solid base enables us to bridge the current headwinds while we reposition us to seize new opportunities. Read the full press release here: https://umico.re/gxi
