On February 28, 2026, the Middle East conflict escalated once again following military strikes by the USA and Israel on targets in Iran. The resulting uncertainty led to increased volatility in the financial and commodity markets and, consequently, to rising prices for chemical products. Due to the close link between crude oil and energy prices on the one hand, and the cost structure of the chemical industry on the other, collateral price increases for chemical products, as well as higher procurement costs for energy- and raw material-intensive precursors, are likewise expected. In addition, higher energy prices may impact transportation, logistics, and production costs. The Group is continuously monitoring the further development of the geopolitical situation as well as the commodity and sales markets and will take appropriate risk management measures as necessary. At the time of preparing the financial statements, the financial impact on the Group could not yet be reliably quantified.
