Commenting on today’s results, Olivier Rigaud, CEO, stated: “Corbion had an excellent start to 2025. I am pleased to report on this strong quarter with positive volume/mix and organic Adjusted EBITDA growth, as well as positive free cash flow. Corbion provides essential, natural solutions to meet customers’ preservation and nutrition needs, and the Q1 results highlight the resilience of our businesses.
In Functional Ingredients & Solutions, we delivered volume/mix growth in all three businesses (Food, Biochemicals, and Lactic acid to the PLA JV), and we are seeing the results of our efficiency and cost-management measures translating into improved margins to greater than 12%.
In Health & Nutrition, we delivered volume/mix growth across all three businesses (Nutrition, Biomedical polymers, and Pharma), with Adjusted EBITDA margins exceeding 30% for the business unit overall.
As we navigate the macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainty, we continue to execute on our strategy and remain on track to deliver our 2025 guidance on all forecasted metrics, including volume/mix, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.”
