Posted by on Aug 5th, 2026

Synthomer (LON:SYNT – Get Free Report) released its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported GBX (4.30) EPS for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Synthomer had a negative net margin of 9.03% and a negative return on equity of 16.66%.

Here are the key takeaways from Synthomer’s conference call:

  • First-half results exceeded expectations: continuing-business revenue rose 5.1% in constant currency, EBITDA increased 13%, EBIT grew nearly 42%, and EBITDA margin expanded 80 basis points to 10.1%.
  • The company raised its full-year 2026 outlook to slightly above market expectations, citing recurring specialty-product growth, cost savings, improved free cash flow, and year-end covenant leverage expected at 4.0x–4.35x versus 4.9x at June.
  • Synthomer reported progress toward a more specialty-focused portfolio, including strong demand for data-center intumescent coatings, oil-and-gas drilling additives, medical adhesives, and sustainable products; three additional divestment processes could generate approximately £150 million–£200 million of proceeds.
  • All three divisions delivered volume and revenue growth, while CCS EBITDA rose 33% and Adhesive Solutions continued its transformation program; however, the company expects the roughly £6 million benefit from second-quarter market disruption, particularly in NBR, not to recur in the second half.
  • Adhesive Solutions lost approximately €10 million of gross margin from intermittent reliability issues at facilities in the Netherlands and Texas, although management expects both problems to be resolved during the third quarter; finance costs are also rising, with full-year income-statement interest expected at £73 million–£75 million.
