Clariant has decided to provide the full set of financial figures only twice a year. Group sales were up +1% to CHF1,478m as volumes rose +3% and EBITDA pre one-offs went up +11% to CHF229m. For 2016, management expects to generate growth in local currencies as well as progress in operating cash flow and the EBITDA margin before one-offs, which is confirmation of the guidance given earlier this year.
