[#FinancialResults] We achieved a solid growth in our second-quarter results evidenced by a strong EBITDA margin in a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment. "Arkema delivered a good financial performance in the second quarter, highlighted by a strong EBITDA margin at 18% while the economic environment remained challenging, in line with previous quarters and with no clear signs of market recovery. Once again, our teams mobilized to strictly manage costs and working capital, and to successfully carry out our key industrial projects. Beyond the figures, we are particularly pleased with the growth in adhesives and in the Coating Solutions segment’s downstream activities, as well as with the ramp-up of PIAM in Asia. We have also made solid progress in the new polyamide 11 unit in Singapore, stated Thierry Le Hénaff, Chairman and CEO of Arkema. In the second half, our focus will remain on the completion or ramp-up of our key projects and on the strict management of our operations. The closing of the recent acquisition of Dow's flexible packaging laminating adhesives business expected in the fourth quarter will also constitute an important milestone for the Group. At the end of the year, Arkema will have thus completed a unique set of major attractive projects, most of them already fully financed. Going into 2025, we will leverage those investments in order to deliver significant earnings growth." Arkema.
