Margin Protection

In the Specialty segment, 2025 adjusted EBITDA rose 6.4 % YoY to $26.6 million despite a 12 % volume decline. OEC has introduced a 25 % price hike and a variable surcharge across Specialty customers to shield margins against cost pressures from supply‑chain disruptions and feed‑stock volatility linked to the Middle‑East conflict. The strategy couples price actions with production‑line rationalization across the Americas and EMEA, aiming to stabilize service levels and absorb fixed costs if volumes remain flat or decline.
