Italy’s De Nora posts 16% growth in nine-month core profit, hikes 2025 guidance

(Reuters) -Italy’s Industrie De Nora said on Tuesday its adjusted core profit rose 15.9% to 124.4 million euros ($145.1 million) in the first nine months of 2025, as the electrochemical group raised its margin guidance for the full year.

The company expects its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation margin to be around 19% this year, having previously said the key profitability metric would land between 17% and 18%.

“Operating margin showed particularly strong performance, supported by high operational efficiency – linked to the Energy Transition business – and a favorable production mix,” CEO Paolo Dellachà said in a statement.

“In particular, the Pools line reported a 30% revenue increase year-on-year, making a decisive contribution to the overall improvement in profitability,” Dellachà added.

The company’s shares were automatically halted from trading at 1212 GMT after they gained more than 9% following the results.
