    Successful companies thrive on #change. This has always been true. But it is particularly true in these volatile times. We need to stay flexible and keep a positive #mindset. In #Q1, we hit the EBITDA before special items that analysts were expecting. At today’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, I will be talking about navigating uncertainty. And how we at BASF have set the course for long-term value creation. Curious? Tune in here: https://lnkd.in/dY_EJiBR #WinningWays #ilovebasf

    To gain more insights into our Q1 2025 results, please check the presentation from today's conference call for analysts and investors, shared by our CFO, Dirk Elvermann. #BASFreport #BASF_ASM

    This morning, we published our Quarterly Statement for Q1 2025. BASF held its position in an increasingly challenging environment. EBITDA before special items was at about the level of the prior-year quarter and was in line with average analyst estimates.   During our conference call for analysts and investors, I also discussed BASF’s manufacturing footprint and strategy in light of the recent market developments around the U.S. tariff announcements. We have production assets in all key regions worldwide. We produce locally for the local markets. This has always been an advantage for BASF, and especially in these challenging times it makes us more resilient than others and differentiates us from competitors.   In Europe and North America, around 90 percent of BASF’s sales are generated with products manufactured in the respective region. In the United States, more than 80 percent of BASF’s sales in 2024 came from products manufactured in the country. In Asia Pacific and South America, the share was around 80 percent in 2024. This high proportion of local production is the reason why the direct impact of tariffs on BASF is likely to be limited.   However, we must also consider indirect impacts resulting from market uncertainty and changes in demand from our customers in industries such as automotive and consumer goods. It remains difficult to assess the full impact of the current tariffs and counter-tariffs on BASF’s business at this point in time.   In light of the volatile situation, the assumptions published in the BASF Report 2024 regarding the global economic environment in 2025 remain unchanged for the time being. The BASF Group’s forecast for the 2025 business year also remains unchanged.   To gain more insights, please refer to the presentation from today’s telephone conference for analysts and investors, which I held together with Christian Jutzi. You can also find further information on the first quarter 2025 results on our IR website at https://lnkd.in/eeRvHnsv.   #BASF #BASFreport #investorrelations

    23 Nisan 1920’de Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi kurularak egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız milletin oldu. Bu tarihi adım, yalnızca bir meclisin kuruluşunu değil, umut dolu nesillerin de temelini simgeliyor. Ulu Önder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün tüm dünya çocuklarına armağan ettiği 23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramımız kutlu olsun! #BASF #BASFTürkiye #23Nisan

    Why Latin America? Why the EU-Mercosur agreement? For Michael Heinz, Member of the Board of Executive Directors at BASF and Vice Chairman of LADW, the answer is clear: Free trade with a region that shares our values and is committed to sustainable growth benefits both sides – especially in today’s geopolitically challenging times.   And for BASF, Latin America is much more than just a market: 💡 A hub for innovation 🔋 A production powerhouse 🌎 A service center for the entire Americas – helping BASF reach 670 million people.   From Uruguay to Colombia to Mexico, it's a key region for talent pipelines and investing in next-generation solutions, especially in agriculture 🌱.   🤝 But to unlock even more potential, we need: Stability. Collaboration. And the right frameworks – like the EU-Mercosur agreement.   That’s why Latin America matters. That’s why this partnership matters. Watch the full insights here.   #WhyLatinAmerica #Trade #Sustainability #Innovation #BASF #EUMercosur #GlobalCooperation
