Synthomer (LSE:SYNT) posted a rise in earnings for the first half of 2025, with EBITDA increasing by 5.4% in constant currency. This growth was supported by internal efficiency measures and a strategic emphasis on specialty products. However, revenue declined by 9.8%, affected by market volatility and tariff adjustments that dampened customer demand.
During this period, Synthomer completed the sale of William Blythe and advanced its ongoing transformation efforts, which include consolidating manufacturing sites and expanding its divestment program. The company remains committed to innovation and targeted capital investment, particularly focusing on sustainable products and growth opportunities in the Middle East, while managing geopolitical and trade-related uncertainties.
While Synthomer faces challenges from weaker financial results and bearish technical signals, its strategic initiatives offer a foundation for improved financial stability and investor confidence. The company will need to deliver further operational improvements to enhance its financial position and market valuation.
