AkzoNobel (ISIN NL0013267909) reported EUR 2.538 billion in revenue for the third quarter of 2026, while organic sales grew 2.00 percent. The company also kept its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance at EUR 1.47 billion, according to the AkzoNobel release dated October 21, 2026.

Margin progress meets softer volumes

Adjusted EBITDA rose to EUR 388 million in Q3 2026 from EUR 385 million a year earlier, a 0.78 percent increase. The adjusted EBITDA margin reached 15.30 percent, up from 15.10 percent in the third quarter of 2025, while reported operating income was a loss of EUR 73 million compared with a loss of EUR 29 million.

The operating result was affected by the deconsolidation of Russian operations and the divestment of the Pakistan business. Pricing remained the key support: organic sales growth of 2.00 percent reflected pricing gains that offset weaker volumes, according to the Investing.com.
