The earnings call highlighted strong performance in the foundation businesses, significant cost-saving measures, and a strong liquidity position.

The reduction in dividends also reflects the overall cautious stance in the face of market uncertainties.Company Guidance
During the call discussing Umicore's full-year 2024 results, key financial metrics were shared, including a group revenue of €3.5 billion and an EBITDA of €763 million, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 22%.
