Rhea-AI Summary
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has completed upgrading its air emissions control technology at all four of its U.S. carbon black plants, marking the biggest sustainability-related initiative in the company’s history. Despite challenges such as contractor issues, COVID-19, and supply chain disruptions, Orion finished ahead of some competitors. The company is now focusing on investing in profitable growth, reducing debt, and returning value to shareholders. However, with a slower recovery in end markets and downtime as a result of the EPA project, the company expects 2023 results to land at the lower end of its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $330 million to $340 million. While demand is recovering, it is building slower than expected in many markets. Orion projects a fourth year in a row of earnings growth in 2024, with a similar rate to 2023, which was a mid-single digit EBITDA increase.
