Umicore SA on Friday said that profit rose in the first half and
it updated its full-year guidance.
The Belgium-based materials technology and recycling company
posted net profit of 400 million euros ($474.9 million) in the
period, from EUR91 million a year earlier.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization came in at EUR762 million from EUR376 million.
Revenue, excluding metals, was EUR2.15 billion from EUR1.56
billion a year earlier.
Umicore said it expects adjusted earnings before interest and
taxes to slightly exceed EUR1 billion in the full year. It had
previously forecasted adjusted EBIT to approach EUR1 billion. As
previously announced, adjusted EBIT is expected to be lower in the
second half compared to the first half, which benefited from an
increase in precious metal prices.
The outlook for the second half includes effects from the
planned maintenance shutdown in Hoboken, Belgium, and the impact
semiconductor shortages.
At 0750 GMT, shares trade 2.1% higher at EUR53.84.
