诺力昂宣布2018年销售额及利润增长

诺力昂（前阿克苏诺贝尔专业化学品）发布2018年业绩报告，宣布全年销售额及调整后的EBITDA（息税折旧摊销前利润）增长。

销售额增长2%，反映了价格和产品组合带来的效益，但部分销售额被略低的销量所抵消。在扣除汇率影响的情况下，销售额增长6%。

调整后的EBITDA（息税折旧摊销前利润）增长4%，这主要是得益于价格/组合效应以及生产力提升项目。

“这组财报结果是稳健可靠的，”诺力昂首席执行官Charlie Shaver表示。“我们预计2019年销售额将继续保持个位数增长，这反映了更好的产品组合和原材料价格影响所带来的持续效益。在价格管理和成本改进计划的推动下，息税折旧摊销前利润也是积极的。“

2018年的大事件包括凯雷财务集团和GIC收购阿克苏诺贝尔专业化学品业务，并于10月成功成立为新公司诺力昂，随之持续投资增长项目，其中包括瑞典松兹瓦尔的Expancel微球扩产，以及中国宁波的过氧化二异丙苯产量翻番。

“我们作为一家新的独立而专注的专业化学品公司开始运营，深受客户的认可，”Shaver补充道。“我们正在加快增长计划以充分发挥潜力，利用我们的全球足迹和产品组合来获得市场增长。此外，我们将更加注重创新和协作，以提供真正满足客户需求的可持续解决方案。“

Nouryon reports growth in revenues and adjusted EBITDA for 2018

May 1，2019

Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals) reported growth in revenues and adjusted EBITDA in its full-year 2018 financial results.

Revenues were up 2%, reflecting price and product mix benefits, which was partially offset by slightly lower volumes. Excluding currency effects, revenues were up 6%.

Adjusted EBITDA was up 4%, mainly due to price/mix effects as well as productivity improvement programs.

 “This is a solid set of results,” said Nouryon CEO Charlie Shaver. “We expect low single-digit growth in revenues to continue in 2019, reflecting the ongoing benefit of better product mix and pass-through of raw material prices. The EBITDA outlook is also positive, driven by price management and cost improvement programs.”

Highlights for 2018 included the successful launch of Nouryon following the acquisition of the company by The Carlyle Group and GIC in October, and continuing investments in growth projects. These include an increase in Expancel microspheres production at Sundsvall, Sweden and a doubling of dicumyl peroxide capacity in Ningbo, China.

“We've had a great start to operating as a newstandalone, focused specialty chemicals company and received a strong receptionfrom customers,” Shaver said. “We are accelerating our growth plan to reach our full potential, leveraging our global footprint and product portfolio to capitalize on market growth. In addition, we will sharpen our focus on innovation and collaboration to provide the sustainable solutions that truly meet our customers’ needs.”
