    Question

    Abigail Eberts asked about the long-term EBITDA margin outlook for the Performance Materials segment, particularly in a more volume growth-oriented environment, beyond the 2025 guidance.

    Answer

    Interim CEO Luis Fernandez-Moreno clarified that the company expects Performance Materials to deliver 50% EBITDA margins in 2025, supported by favorable vehicle mix trends and productivity gains. He projected that longer-term, margins could settle in the high 40s due to potential new competition in China post-2028, but the near-term outlook remains strong.
