Cabot carbon black corporate profits increased by 30% year-on-year

近日，据外媒报道，卡博特公司旗下生产橡胶用炭黑等产品的补强材料部门在2024财年第一财季(即2023年10月1日至12月31日)的业绩表现亮眼。该部门的销售额为6.41亿美元，略有下降，但其盈利(息税折旧摊销前利润，即EBITDA)却同比大增31%，至1.46亿美元(约合人民币10.50亿元)。同时，息税前利润(EBIT)也实现了37%的同比增长，达到1.29亿美元。

This gratifying achievement of profit growth is mainly due to the "higher pricing and improved product portfolio" in the 2023 customer agreement, which effectively improves profit margins. In addition, a 2% increase in global sales also contributed positively to the improvement of EBITDA. This increase reflects growing demand for Cabot products in Asian and European markets.

As a leading carbon black supplier, Cabot has been committed to improving product quality and optimizing product portfolio. The company said it expects EBITDA to continue to grow in the second quarter due to continued improvements in pricing and product mix and "moderate" growth in sales.
