January–March 2026 Interim Report
Kemira’s Q1 was challenging. The market environment remained weak and the war in Iran increased uncertainty and accelerated inflation. As a result, both revenue and profitability decreased year-on-year. While the market volatility is expected to continue, Kemira is taking measures to mitigate the impacts of the demand softness and the increased cost base, to get profitability back on track and in line with the target range.
