Aperam Reports 2025 Results Amid Challenging Economic Conditions

Aperam released its financial results for 2025, highlighting a stable shipment performance with 2,287 thousand tonnes, nearly matching the previous year's figures. However, the company faced a decline in sales and profitability. Sales dropped by 2.8% to EUR 6,080 million, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased to EUR 339 million from EUR 356 million in 2024.

Financial challenges were evident as net income fell sharply to EUR 9 million from EUR 231 million the previous year. Despite a strong cash flow of EUR 422 million, the acquisition of Universal impacted free cash flow negatively by EUR 167 million. Aperam's net financial debt increased to EUR 978 million by year-end.

Looking ahead, Aperam anticipates a higher EBITDA in Q1 2026, despite expecting increased financial debt due to seasonal working capital needs. Strategic initiatives remain a focus, with the successful completion of the Leadership Journey® Phase 5 and the launch of Phase 6 targeting further operational improvements.
