  • The decrease was primarily driven by reduced purchases of cosmetic ingredients by Ashland Specialty Ingredients (ASI), attributed to tariff and geopolitical concerns in Asia, leading to customers opting for lower-cost local products and ASI managing excess inventory.
  • Despite the overall decline, the company saw increased sales in pharmaceutical (10%) and medical products (6%) during the first nine months of 2025, and is pursuing initiatives like expanding Renacidin®'s formulary inclusion and new marketing agreements for personal care products to boost future revenue.
