Orion S.A.
Orion S.A. reported weaker first-quarter 2026 results, moving from a profit to a net loss as margins compressed, especially in its Rubber Carbon Black business. Net sales slipped to $459.5 million from $477.7 million, while net income swung to a loss of $9.9 million, or $(0.18) per share, from earnings of $9.1 million, or $0.16 per share, a year earlier.
Gross profit fell to $79.2 million from $98.1 million as unfavorable product and regional mix, lower contractual pricing, and timing of raw material cost pass-through more than offset slightly higher volumes. Adjusted EBITDA declined 30.4% to $46.1 million, driven by a 53.4% drop in Rubber Carbon Black Adjusted EBITDA to $19.0 million, partially offset by a 6.7% increase in Specialty Carbon Black Adjusted EBITDA to $27.1 million.
Operating cash flow turned negative at $(12.4) million, and free cash flow was $(48.5) million as Orion invested $36.1 million in capital expenditures, including its new La Porte conductive plant. Net working capital rose to $353.5 million, reflecting higher receivables, and total liquidity stood at $192.3 million with $50.5 million of cash and $141.8 million available under its revolving and ancillary credit facilities.
Orion S.A. reported first quarter 2026 results with net sales of $459.5 million, down 4% from the prior year as lower oil prices reduced formula pass-through pricing despite slightly higher volumes. The company posted a net loss of $9.9 million versus a prior-year profit of $9.1 million and generated Adjusted EBITDA of $46.1 million, down from $66.2 million.
Seasonal working capital needs and higher crude oil prices drove operating cash use of $12.4 million and free cash outflow of $48.5 million. Net debt was $965.3 million, resulting in a net leverage ratio of 4.2x trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. Despite these headwinds, Orion raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $170 million to $210 million, up from $160 million to $200 million, citing earnings resilience in a higher oil price environment and a strong order book.
