Milan, July 31, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Industrie De Nora S.p.A. (the “Company” or “De Nora”) – Italian multinational listed on the Euronext Milan, specialized in the electrochemical industry and leader in sustainable technologies and in the green hydrogen industry – met under the chairmanship of Federico De Nora, approved the Half-Yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at June 30, 2025 (subject to limited audit).
Paolo Dellachà, Chief Executive Officer of Industrie De Nora, commented:
“The first six months of the year unfolded in a complex and continuously evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, marked by growing market volatility and new sources of global uncertainty. In this scenario, our business model – built on a strong competitive positioning and broad geographic and sector diversification – has proven highly resilient, enabling us to achieve significant growth in both revenues and operating margins.”
“The Water Technologies business remains a key driver of our growth, supported by global structural trends such as water scarcity, regulatory developments and increasing environmental awareness. The Pools line, in particular, has continued its highly positive trend, marking five consecutive quarters of double-digit growth and exceeding our expectations, thanks to the reference market fundamentals. We are actively pursuing new opportunities for external expansion as well, and especially in the Water Technologies Systems space, with the aim of strengthening our positioning along the value chain and delivering integrated solutions ever closer to end customers. The Electrode Technologies and Energy Transition business have also performed in line with our expectations.”
“The results achieved in the first half strengthen our confidence in the growth trajectory outlined for the year. De Nora Group has a long-term vision based on the resilience of its industrial model and its ability to seize opportunities offered by the energy transition and the increasing focus on water resources. In this context, the revenue guidance for 2025, as previously communicated in March, is confirmed, with expected growth at a low single-digit rate compared to 2024. The solid performance in terms of profitability achieved in the first six months of the year also allows us to upgrade the guidance on the Adjusted EBITDA margin, now forecasted in the range between 17% and 18%, compared to the previous indication of 17%.”
