The second -quarter performance of multinational enterprises is generally good

Recently, a number of international chemical companies such as BASF, Tao, Klaine, Disman, PPG, Corning, Bayer have released performance reports in the first half of this year and the second quarter. The report shows that despite factors such as weak European demand, severe interference in the global new crown pneumonia, and adverse currency converts, the sales performance of these companies has generally achieved continuous growth, and the overall trend has remained in a good trend.

Most enterprises have achieved bright performance

Judging from the second quarter report of the above chemical enterprises, most of the performance is very eye -catching, but some companies have been negatively affected by various economic factors.

On July 11, BASF announced the preliminary data in the second quarter of 2022. BASF's sales in the second quarter increased by 3.2 billion euros year -on -year, reaching 23 billion euros, an increase of 16.3%.

On July 21, Dao announced the financial report in the second quarter of 2022 stating that net sales were 15.7 billion US dollars, an increase of 13%year -on -year, and all operating sectors and regions increased. All areas outside the Asia -Pacific region have achieved net sales by 3%month -on -month.

Colene continued to operate business sales by 29%in the first half of 2022 to 2.563 billion Swiss francs. In the first half of the year, EBITDA's profit margin pre -amortization (EBITDA) profit margin has increased from 16.5%to 17.0%. For the outlook for 2022, the Colene Group is expected to have a strong growth performance. The annual sales of 5 billion Swiss francs are expected to increase profit margins in a challenging geopolitical environment.

Some enterprises have also been affected by factors such as geopolitical conflict and epidemic, and some data have declined. On July 20, the Dutch coatings giant Akzunobel reported in the second quarter of 2022 that revenue was 205 million euros, an increase of 46.61%year -on -year; net income attributable to shareholders was 106 million euros, a year -on -year decrease of 59.38%. Van Dirui, CEO of Akzunobel, said that under factors such as epidemic and European decorative paint DIY channel reserves, Akzonor's second quarter performance was obviously affected. At present, customer demand has returned to the right track in June.

Koschuang's second quarter of 2022 was generally stable, with sales increased by 18.9%year -on -year to climb to 4.7 billion euros. This is especially due to the higher sales price. In the second quarter, EBITDA's profit margin decreased by 33.0%, mainly due to the significant growth of raw materials and energy prices and decline in sales. However, the rise in sales prices offsets the impact of rising costs. Compared with the strong second quarter of last year, net profit in the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 55.7%year -on -year.

Demand steady mergers and acquisitions continues

Since 2022, although the macroeconomic performance is average, cross -border enterprises have not been interrupted. Major enterprises continue to implement their own midterm operation plans.

Earlier this year, Klein, headquartered in Switzerland, sold its pigment business to pigment producer SK Capital at the price of 805 million Swiss francs to the pigment producer Hugbach Group and a private equity company; Akoma announced plans to acquire Polimeros Speciales, Polimeros Speciales; Han Gao announced the acquisition of Shiseido's Asia -Pacific professional hairdressing business. On July 28, Yinglix and Sinopec signed three joint venture cooperation agreements, with a total value of about 7 billion US dollars. Yinglix said that these agreements are expected to achieve a total annual production capacity of 7 million tons and create about $ 10 billion in sales each year. In addition, Daedal Energy acquired some shares of Clearway.

While increasing investment and project expansion, international chemical enterprises have continued business transformation, acquisition and sale. The first case was that Disman and Finnie announced that it had reached a business merger agreement to establish a leading innovative partner in the field of nutrition, beauty and health. After the merger, it will become the largest company in global flavors. It is reported that the annual revenue after the merger will reach 11.4 billion euros, and it is expected that the merger is finally completed in the first half of 2023. Prior to this, Disman announced on May 31 that it had reached an agreement to sell Disman's engineering material business to Anhong Capital and Langson with a corporate value of 3.85 billion euros. After deducting transaction costs and capital gains, Disman is expected to receive a net cash of about 3.5 billion euros. The sale is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.
