BASF CEO Markus Kamieth: "The timing is right"



Management's consolidation message underpins Parmantier & Cie.'s positive
BASF-Evonik investment case



Frankfurt am Main, 28 October 2026. BASF CEO Markus Kamieth's statement that
the timing is right for European chemicals consolidation reinforces
Parmantier & Cie.'s view that a BASF-Evonik combination could create a
stronger global specialty-chemicals platform.



Three investment highlights



Strong Q3: BASF's EBITDA before special items increased 14.9% to EUR1.64bn;
core-business EBITDA rose 48.9% to EUR1.63bn. Full-year EBITDA guidance
increased to EUR7.4-7.8bn.



Compelling combination potential: Parmantier's illustrative 2029 scenario
delivers approximately EUR11.8bn combined EBITDA and around 2x net
debt/EBITDA, including pensions, potentially creating further acquisition
flexibility subject to cash generation and credit discipline.



Agricultural Solutions: The EUR27.3bn base-case enterprise valuation offers
substantial portfolio and deleveraging potential.



Recommendations remain BASF Buy, target EUR61; Evonik Hold, target EUR21.



Kamieth also reaffirmed financial discipline and that acquisitions are
optional, not mandatory. His remarks support the strategic thesis, not
confirmation of a transaction.
