Neste Corporation is a global leader in renewable fuels and oil refining, specializing in sustainable solutions and renewable products, operating primarily in the energy sector with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2024, Neste faced significant challenges due to geopolitical and economic uncertainties, resulting in weaker financial performance. The company’s financial results show a substantial decline in EBITDA and earnings per share, with increased leverage and a reduced dividend proposal. Despite these setbacks, Neste’s Renewable Products segment saw an increase in sales volumes, particularly in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Neste’s main financial metrics reveal a drastic reduction in comparable EBITDA, which fell to EUR 1,252 million from EUR 3,458 million the previous year. The Renewable Products segment faced pricing pressures due to increased competition and an oversupply in the market, impacting sales margins. The Oil Products segment also experienced a drop in refining margins and sales volumes, influenced by a major turnaround at the Porvoo refinery.
Looking ahead, Neste aims to improve its financial performance through a performance improvement program targeting EUR 350 million in EBITDA improvements by 2026. The company remains committed to maintaining its investment-grade credit rating and its strategic growth investments, particularly in renewable fuels, despite the challenging market outlook for 2025. Management has outlined plans to focus on cost competitiveness and operational efficiency to navigate the ongoing volatile market conditions.
