Element Solutions Inc is a global specialty chemicals technology company serving electronics, automotive, industrial and energy end-markets. In 2025, it generated $2.55 billion in sales, with about 70% from its Electronics segment and 30% from Specialties.
In February 2025, the company sold its MacDermid Graphics Solutions flexographic printing plate business for $320 million, recording a $66.5 million gain. It is also expanding through acquisitions, including EFC Gases & Advanced Materials for approximately $369 million plus a potential earn-out, and Micromax for approximately $500 million, both closing in early 2026.
The company emphasizes customer-driven innovation, spending $67.6 million on research and development in 2025, and reports stable, recurring revenue from consumable chemistries. It operates with about 5,200 employees worldwide, roughly 79% of sales coming from outside the U.S., and highlights regulatory, competitive, currency and acquisition-related risks.
Element Solutions Inc reported 2025 net sales of $2.55 billion, up 4% reported and 6% organically, with strong growth in its Electronics segment offset by declines in Specialties after divestitures. Full-year GAAP net income was $191 million, down 22%, while adjusted EBITDA rose to $548 million.
GAAP diluted EPS was $0.79 versus $1.00 in 2024, but adjusted EPS increased to $1.49 from $1.44. In Q4 2025, net sales grew 8% to $676 million, yet net income fell sharply to $6.2 million as margins tightened and other expenses increased, although adjusted EBITDA improved 5%.
The company issued 2026 guidance for adjusted EBITDA of $650–$670 million and adjusted EPS growth in the mid to high teens. It reshaped its portfolio by selling MacDermid Graphics Solutions for about $320 million and acquiring EFC for about $369 million and Micromax for about $500 million, funded partly with $450 million of add-on term loans and a new $500 million revolver.
