Clariant further improves profitability based on better demand and reduced cost base

Clariant · Q2 sales up 20% in local currencies and 18% in CHF as global economic activity continued to rebound year on year
· Q2 operating income before exceptional items rose to CHF 211 million compared to CHF 69 million a year ago and CHF 183 million in the first quarter, mainly driven by higher sales volumes
· Q2 operating income margin before exceptional items reached 11.1% compared to 4.3% a year ago
· Q2 cash flow from operations amounted to CHF 33 million from CHF 184 million in the previous year given a volume-related temporary increase in inventories and trade receivables
· Outlook: Against the backdrop of an anticipated softening of the global economy, Clariant expects lower sales growth in the second half of the year with demand remaining solid. Clariant guides for sales growth in the high-single digit percentage range and an operating margin before exceptionals for the full-year above 8%.
