Sales declined by an expected 25% in the second quarter of 2023. This was mainly driven by considerably lower prices and volumes; negative currency effects also contributed to the sales decline, the company said in a statement. EBIT before special items declined 57% compared with the strong prior-year quarter, BASF said. Net income reached an expected EUR 499M, below the figure in the prior-year quarter.
