This results in a renewed increase in the expected EBITDA to €700 million to €800 million (previous forecast: €500 million to €600 million, in each case including the forecast one-off gain associated with the REKS transaction of about €200 million). In the previous year, EBITDA was €267 million.
"We expect a continued improvement in prices and demand for fertilizers, as well as a strong industrial business in the further course of the year. Our production is also running at full speed and we have reduced our costs. We are therefore in a position to once again increase our earnings forecast for 2021," says Dr. Burkhard Lohr, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of K+S Aktiengesellschaft.
The completion of the antitrust review of the REKS joint venture is now expected in the fourth quarter of 2021 (previously: summer 2021).
K+S will publish its complete Half-Year Financial Report on August 12, 2021.
