Solvay held a webinar for the investment community on its Performance Chemicals
business
Brussels, June 25, 2024, 5.45 pm CEST
Solvay's management today held a webinar (https://www.solvay.com/en/investors/financial-calendar-events-
presentations/webcasts-podcasts-presentations) on its Performance Chemicals segment, which includes the Silica, Special Chem and Coatis business units. These activities produce additives and ingredients that are essential to the daily lives of the people.
Management set out how Solvay's Performance Chemicals segment (40% of Solvay 2023 net sales) shares common value creation drivers with Solvay's other business units from a Commercial, Innovation, Quality of Assets or Supply Chain perspective.
Furthermore, the webinar demonstrated the proven track record and resilience of cash generation of the Performance Chemicals business, delivering EBITDA growth of more than 4% and an average cash conversion ratio above 70% over the past 5
years. This was driven by:

  * Exposure to end-markets with strong megatrends
  * Leveraging a group of business lines with either global or regional
    leadership
  * Maintaining leadership in process innovation and applying strict cost
    discipline
  * Operating a group of less Capex intensive business lines when compared to
    Solvay's Basic Chemicals segment
