Why did Solvay report a wider net loss in Q2 2026 despite revenue growth?

Solvay's net loss widened to $120 million in Q2 2026 primarily due to $89 million in pre-tax expenses related to debt restructuring negotiations and asset restructuring activities, which significantly offset the positive impact of an 8% year-on-year increase in net sales to $845 million.

What was Solvay's adjusted EBITDA performance in Q2 2026, and what does it indicate about its underlying operations?

Solvay's adjusted EBITDA rose to $81 million in Q2 2026 — a $39 million (93%) increase year-on-year — indicating strong improvement in core operating performance, even as one-time restructuring costs drove the reported net loss higher.
