Element Solutions Inc reported strong top-line growth but lower GAAP earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net sales rose to $840.0 million from $593.7 million, driven by 10% organic growth plus metals pass-through and two acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $162.3 million from $128.4 million, with margin improving to 27.8%.
GAAP net income declined to $56.0 million from $98.0 million, largely because the prior-year period included a $72.1 million gain on the sale of MacDermid Graphics Solutions and current results reflect higher interest expense. The company closed the $493 million Micromax and $367 million EFC acquisitions, funded mainly with new term loans and revolver borrowings, pushing total debt to $2.16 billion and cash to $177.3 million. Operating cash flow was a $66.6 million use of cash, mainly from higher working capital tied to rising metals prices and volume.
