Evonik Industries AG is already today publishing the following preliminary
figures for the second quarter of 2024 and adjusting its outlook for the
financial year 2024.

Based on preliminary, non-audited figures, Evonik expects an adjusted
EBITDA* of EUR578 million in the second quarter of 2024 (Q2 2023: EUR450
million). The current market expectation is EUR531 million (Vara Research
analyst consensus as of May 29, 2024).

As there was still no broad-based macroeconomic recovery, company-specific
factors in particular led to this positive development: In addition to
continued strict cost discipline, good volume development in Specialty
Additives, as well as a price recovery in Animal Nutrition and lower
production costs were drivers of the sequential increase.

Based on this development, Evonik is raising its outlook for adjusted
EBITDA* as follows: The company now expects adjusted EBITDA* for the
financial year 2024 to be between EUR1.9 billion and EUR2.2 billion (previously:
EUR1.7 - EUR2.0 billion).

Following a slight decline in the first quarter, sales in the second quarter
were, based on preliminary figures, at just above EUR3.9 billion and thus
around the level of the previous year (Q2 2023: EUR3.9 billion).

Evonik Industries AG will publish final figures for the second quarter of
2024 on August 1, 2024, as planned.
