Reports Q4 revenue $573M, consensu $590.63M. President and Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Gliklich commented, “Element Solutions demonstrated the resilience and quality of its businesses in a challenging 2023 for the electronics industry. We delivered on our through-the-cycle commitment to outperform our end markets, preserve profitability and generate strong cash flow. Though sales and volumes declined, through proactive cost management and prudent pricing discipline, we saw no degradation in our margins. We seized the market dislocation to enhance our value proposition in the highest end of the electronics industry with two highly strategic acquisitions. We also grew free cash flow 12%. Overall, through organic and inorganic investment, we positioned the business to benefit disproportionately from a recovery in our core markets. Fourth quarter results demonstrate that recovery is underway. Our circuitry and semiconductor businesses returned to organic growth, and overall, we delivered adjusted EBITDA growth of 11%.”
