Q2 2023 Energy and NaOH Market Prices Analysis
Lenzing keeps cautious optimism for second half of 2023
Lenzing expects improving operating performance leading to increased EBITDA for H2 2023
Slow but continued demand recovery accompanied by raw material and energy cost decreases in H1 2023
Whilst visibility remains restricted, further upside is expected in H2 2023 compared to H1 2023:
Recently completed expansion projects and conversions to specialties expected to significantly contribute
⚫ EUR > 70 mn global cost reduction program and measures to strengthen sales activities with further
positive impact
Costs are expected to further decrease, however, at slower rate
• Stable demand in pulp (incl. co-products) and nonwovens expected, low visibility in textile fiber sales
Assuming a continued market recovery in the current financial year, the Lenzing Group keeps expectation
of EBITDA in 2023 to be in a range of EUR 320 mn to EUR 420 mn
