Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Percentile = share of the N covered peers reporting that ratio whose value is lower (ties counted half); computed among grepcent-covered companies in SIC industry 2810 Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, not the whole market. A higher percentile means a higher value of the ratio, not a better company. Ratios with fewer than 8 reporting peers are omitted. Latest reported values per company; fiscal periods may differ. Descriptive arithmetic - not a score, rating, or ranking.

Current Forecast for 2026 –

We currently expect consolidated operating income for 2026 to be higher as compared to 2025 primarily due to the net effects of:

higher operating income from our Chemicals Segment in 2026 primarily due to the positive impacts of increased operating rates, higher sales volumes and selling prices, and lower operating costs;
Column 1Column 2Column 3
lower operating income from our Real Estate Management and Development Segment in 2026 due to the wind down of development activities; and
Column 1Column 2Column 3
a non-cash settlement loss of $28.7 million related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan in 2025.

Our expectations for our future operating results are based upon a number of factors beyond our control, including worldwide growth of gross domestic product, competition in the marketplace, continued operation of competitors, technological advances, worldwide production capacity, public health crises, the effect of tariffs, and the impact of economic conditions and geopolitical events on demand for our products or our customers’ and suppliers’ operations, all of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. If actual developments differ from our expectations, our results of operations could be unfavorably affected.
