Commenting on today’s results, Olivier Rigaud, CEO, stated: “We achieved solid results in the first nine months of 2025, reflecting the fundamental strength of our businesses. Q3 volume/mix results were in line with previously provided indications against the high comparable results in Q3 2024 for both segments. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased, both in YTD and Q3 terms by +240bps and +110bps, respectively. Thanks to strong progress in our cost-reduction initiatives and lower prices for some key inputs, along with our continued emphasis on operational efficiency, we've achieved higher YTD margins in both segments.

The Functional Ingredients & Solutions segment maintained sales momentum driven both in YTD and Q3 results. As anticipated, pricing was slightly down for the segment mainly attributable to the pass-through pricing mechanism in Lactic acid to the PLA joint venture.

In Health & Nutrition, we delivered excellent growth in Adjusted EBITDA despite the decline in volume/mix in the quarter, mainly due to the high comparable in Q3 2024— particularly in the Nutrition business’s sales to aquaculture. The Pharma business showed positive sales growth due to increased volume/mix in year-to-date and Q3. Strong volume/mix growth in Health & Nutrition is anticipated in Q4, more than compensating for the Q3 decline.  

Based on the strong YTD results published today, we maintain our full-year 2025 guidance. Based on the visibility into our current orderbook in Q4, we expect volume/mix growth to be in the range of +3-5%.

FY25 adj EBITDA increased by 27% organically and was close to our and consensus forecasts. FY26 guidance of a c. 100bps adj EBITDA margin improvement to around 17% is no surprise (KBCS 16.7%, CSS 16.9%). We remind that Corbion is conducting a strategic review on PLA which we believe will most likely result in an exit of Corbion, while still remaining the lactic acid supplier to the buyer. Biochemicals will be de-emphasized, which will put the growth focus on food preservation and formulation, al...

Dynamic Top Pick List Update February 2026: Removing ASMi; Adding UCB

After today's changes (ASMi out, UCB in), we maintain a balanced approach in our Dynamic Top Pick List, with a particular emphasis on value stocks that have been overlooked. Our defensive holdings are overweight, including real estate, which stands to benefit from lower interest rates. We remove ASMi from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent share price performance has driven the valuation meaningfully ahead of fundamentals. Since early December, FY27 diluted EPS expectations have risen by a...
