Solvay to sell its stake in RusVinyl 



Brussels, March 3, 2023 - 17:45 CET

Solvay announced that it has agreed on final terms to sell its 50% stake in the RusVinyl joint venture to its joint venture partner Sibur.  Upon completion, the divestment will represent another important milestone in the transformation of Solvay’s portfolio, and will mark the final step in the Company’s strategy to exit its cyclical global polyvinyl chloride (PVC) operations.

The agreement is based on a purchase price for Solvay’s 50% stake of around €430 million. A capital loss of around €175 million will be recognized on completion mainly reflecting the crystallization of historic currency translation balances.

The completion of the transaction is expected to take place towards the end of the first quarter 2023.

Solvay FIRST LOOK: 4Q25 soft but in line with consensus, cautious FY26...

4Q uEBITDA dropped by c. 30% organ. and was in line with CSS and c. 5% below our forecast. FY26 uEBITDA guidance of € 770-850m represents a 4-13% y/y decline and is at midpoint c. 2% below consensus and 7% below our forecast. The dividend policy (stable to increasing from a € 2.43 base) looks increasingly generous as the FY26 FCF will not be enough to service the dividend and will hence push up leverage from the current 1.8x. Despite the attractive dividend yield (c 9%), the tough market conditi...
