The effect of the production adjustment on EBITDA is expected to be in the amount of up to 80 million euros.
“In the current weak market environment, which is further intensified by the continuing Chinese import bans on the standard potassium chloride product, adjusting production is a difficult decision, but the right one,” says Alexa Hergenröther, CEO of K+S's Europe+ operating unit.
“Irrespective of this, we are continuing to work hard on implementing the ongoing measures to increase product quality at the Bethune plant in Canada and to strengthen operational excellence at the German sites,” Hergenröther continued.
On November 14, the company will publish its Q3 results. K+S will then substantiate the range of earnings for the full year 2019.
