Umicore Feedback FY25 results conference call

Below are the highlights from the conference call. We remind that FY25 adjusted EBITDA increased by 11% to 847m, slightly above the high end of the 790-840m guidance range (in line with KBCS estimate, 1% above consensus). The company did not give a precise guidance on FY26 although sounded cautious on developments in the EV industry. The strong metal price environment will partly be offset by lower hedging levels for 2026 and maintenance, while new longer term hedges generate additional earnings visibility at very attractive levels for a longer period of time. We maintain our Accumulate rating and € 21 target for now.
