Ashland — Apr 30, 2025 release

The completed portfolio optimization initiative and accelerating cost savings programs are expected to enhance business mix and improve profitability throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Based on these factors, Ashland now projects full fiscal year sales in the range of $1.825 billion to $1.9 billion and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $400 million to $420 million .   “Looking ahead, while macroeconomic conditions are challenging with limited visibility, our end-markets generally demonstrate resilience. Operating primarily in consumer-led staple markets provides inherent stability. However, demand trends have been more challenging than anticipated, influenced by the disrupted geopolitical and economic climate, as well as specific customer weaknesses. While tariff uncertainty remains high, we are focused on mitigating downside and capturing upside. To navigate this uncertain environment, we are acting with prudence and discipline, concentrating on our controllable factors to maximize results. Looking to the longer term, our strategic priorities guide our focus. We remain committed to advancing growth catalysts and strengthening the competitive position of our core businesses. We are confident in our long-term fundamentals and portfolio resilience. Ashland is taking decisive actions to navigate near-term challenges effectively and position the company for sustainable growth and enhanced profitability. I look forward to sharing more insight during our earnings call tomorrow morni
