**ORION S.A.** 

**Exhibit 99.1**

**<u>Orion S.A. Reports Full Year 2025 and Fourth Quarter Earnings</u>**

**HOUSTON—**February 17, 2026—Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC), a specialty chemical company, today reported full year 2025 Net sales of $1.8 billion in 2025, a 4% decrease from the prior year, consisting of a 7% decline in price, including the pass-through effect of lower oil prices, offset by a 2% increase in volume and favorable foreign currency translation. Historically high levels of lower-tier tire imports into the Western Hemisphere and persistently soft demand in key industrial end-markets including transportation and polymers pressured our results, particularly in the second half of 2025. In response, Orion has focused on mitigating actions, including cost rationalization, inventory reduction and other optimization efforts. The company generated a consolidated Net loss of $70 million, including the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $81 million recognized in the third quarter, and Adjusted EBITDA of $248 million. We delivered operating cash flow of $216 million and free cash flow of $55 million for 2025.

Orion reported fourth quarter Net sales of $412 million, representing a 5% year over year decline due to a 4% decline in volume and a 6% decline in price, primarily due to the pass-through effect of lower oil prices, partially offset by 4% favorable foreign currency translation. The fourth quarter was impacted by historically high levels of tire imports into the Western Hemisphere and soft demand across key Specialty Carbon Black end markets, most notably transportation and polymers. Intensified mitigation actions during the fourth quarter included the rationalization of production from certain assets and working capital efforts. For the fourth quarter, Orion reported a Net loss of $21 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $55 million.

Considering the current backdrop and macro uncertainty, Orion is taking additional steps intended to deliver stable earnings and to generate cash that will be used for debt reduction, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Reducing growth capital expenditures ("capex") to align with emerging end-market growth prospects

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Focused maintenance spend on reliability of our highest-contributing assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusting our cost structure to better reflect the current demand environment while maintaining the ability to respond as demand recovers

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing key Specialty Carbon Black segment qualification activity, prioritizing near-term profit generation opportunities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Amended credit agreement, ensuring ample liquidity and sufficient headroom on leverage ratio

**<u>Other Highlights</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A near record safety performance globally in 2025, nine times better than chemical industry average

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Improved plant reliability by 200 basis points in 2025, driven by manufacturing excellence initiatives

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Awarded Platinum rating by EcoVadis, placing Orion in 99<sup>th</sup> percentile of companies assessed during 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Extracted $69 million of cash from working capital in 2025, helping deliver full year free cash flow of $55 million

"Orion achieved 2025 Net sales of $1,807 million and $248 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2025. Although down year over year, this was better than contemplated in our most recent guidance, as year-end destocking activity and customer production curtailments were not as pronounced as anticipated. I am particularly proud of our team's agility in driving free cash flow,

which reached $55 million, despite lower year over year earnings and still elevated capex," stated Corning Painter, Chief Executive Officer.

"While transient fundamental headwinds have affected our financial results and outlook," continued Painter, "Orion has progressed on several impactful initiatives during 2025 that will ensure the company is well positioned in the future. Operating discipline enabled global safety performance well into the industry's top quartile. Manufacturing excellence programs have progressively boosted plant reliability and helped drive improved on-time customer delivery metrics. Advancements in these areas enabled reduced inventory levels and will allow us to further optimize our maintenance expenditures."

"Internal efforts facilitated a significant cash release from working capital in 2025's second half, which was a key contributor to our positive free cash flow generation for the full year. Focused programs in working capital, coupled with a significant reduction in capital expenditures, will enable another year of positive free cash flow in 2026. This is our number one financial priority and commitment," added Jon Puckett, Chief Financial Officer.

**Specialty Carbon Black**

Our Specialty Carbon Black segment's fourth quarter results continued to be impacted by broad industrial end-market softness, underpinned by macro uncertainty. Volumes decreased 12% year over year reflecting lower demand in the Americas and Asia

**ORION S.A.** 

Pacific ("APAC") regions, partially offset by higher demand in our Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region. While net sales decreased 5% year over year, segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% driven by favorable product mix, as well as positive timing and favorable foreign currency translation.

**Rubber Carbon Black**

Our Rubber Carbon Black segment's fourth quarter results continued to be impacted by lower tire production rates in key Western markets, resulting primarily from elevated levels of lower-tier tire imports and soft freight tonnage. Volumes declined 1% year over year, with lower demand in EMEA and America regions being largely offset by gains in other regions. Net sales decreased by 5% year over year, primarily due to the pass-through effect of lower oil prices, partially offset by favorable pricing. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 22% year over year, primarily due to the pass-through effect of lower oil prices and unfavorable regional mix.

**Specialty Carbon Black**

Our Specialty Carbon Black segment's full year results were impacted by soft global industrial activity, particularly in transportation and polymer markets, underpinned by macro uncertainty including lack of clarity around global trade policy, partially offset by favorable mix. Volumes decreased 5% owing to lower demand across all regions and some impact from operational issues early in the year. Segment Net sales decreased 4%, primarily due to the pass-through effect of lower oil prices and reduced volumes, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency translation. Adjusted EBITDA of the Specialty Carbon Black segment decreased 14%, primarily due to lower demand across all regions.

**Rubber Carbon Black**

Our Rubber Carbon Black segment's full year results were impacted predominantly by lower tire production rates in key

------

**ORION S.A.** 

Western markets, resulting from elevated levels of lower-tier tire imports and soft freight tonnage. Volumes increased 4% primarily due to higher demand in the Americas and APAC regions, partially offset by lower demand in the EMEA region. Net sales decreased 3%, primarily due to the pass-through effect of lower oil prices, partially offset by higher volume and a favorable foreign currency translation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20%, primarily due to unfavorable customer and regional mix, as well as the unfavorable effect from the pass-through of lower oil prices. Those were partially offset by higher volume.

**Cash Flow**

For the full year 2025, we generated $216 million of operating cash flow and $55 million of Free cash flow after $161 million of capital expenditures. We finished the year with net debt of $921 million and, based on a trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA of $248 million, a net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.7x.

**Outlook**

"As we enter the new year, key Rubber segment tire customers continue to operate at subdued rates in the wake of a surge in imports last year. And while inventories across Specialty end markets appear lean, we are yet to witness a pronounced uptick in demand. Considering these current conditions, Orion is establishing a full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $160 million - $200 million and a free cash flow guidance range of $25 million - $50 million. Pricing outcomes from our negotiations for this year's supply agreements coupled with flat to slightly lower volumes are the primary factors contributing to the bridge to 2026 earnings levels. Encouraging leading indicators, including an ongoing inflection in tire import data and the potential for recovery from the freight industry's trough, are not contemplated at our guidance range midpoint. Lower capex and working capital efforts will help drive positive free cash flow despite these current EBITDA expectations," Painter concluded.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include those factors detailed under the captions "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995" and "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in Note Q. *Commitments and Contingencies* to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements regarding contingent liabilities, including litigation. It is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement - including those in the "Outlook" and "Quarterly Business Segment Results" sections above - as a result of new information, future events or other information, other than as required by applicable law.

**Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We present certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP or the accounting standards of any other jurisdiction and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures, see section *Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures* below.

These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to Adjusted EBITDA, Free cash flow and adjusted earnings per share as

Net income (loss) ("Adjusted Diluted EPS").

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Income from operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items (such as, restructuring expenses, Goodwill impairment, Loss (recovery) due to misappropriation of assets,

net, etc.) plus Earnings in affiliated companies, net of tax. We define Free cash flow as *Net cash provided by operating activities* less *Net cash used in investing activities*. We define Net Debt as Total Gross debt less Cash and cash equivalents. We define Net Leverage Ratio as Net Debt divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EPS, adjusted for stock-based compensation, non-recurring items (such as, restructuring expenses, Goodwill impairment, Loss (recovery) due to misappropriation of assets, net, etc.), intangible assets amortization, foreign exchange rate impacts and an estimated tax effect on add back items, divided by Weighted average number of diluted ordinary shares.

Our operations are managed by senior executives who report to our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the *chief operating decision maker* ("CODM"). Adjusted EBITDA is used by our CODM to evaluate our operating performance and to make decisions regarding allocation of capital, because it excludes the effects of items that have less bearing on the performance of our underlying core business. We use this measure, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing our business. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures and taxation positions or regimes, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful additional basis for evaluating and comparing the current performance of the underlying operations.

We believe our non-GAAP measures are useful measures of financial performance in addition to Net income, Income from operations and other profitability measures under GAAP, because they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. In addition, we believe these non-GAAP measures aid investors by providing additional insight into our operational performance and help clarify trends affecting our business.

Other companies and analysts may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, so making comparisons among companies on this basis should be done carefully. Non-GAAP measures are not performance measures under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as substitutes for Net sales, Net income, Income from operations, Gross profit and other GAAP measures as an indicator of our operations in accordance with GAAP.

With respect to Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow outlook for 2026, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, significant legal settlements, tax and regulatory reserve changes, restructuring costs and acquisition and financing related impacts.
