Executive Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Gliklich commented, “Our team continued to execute exceptionally well and delivered another quarter of record results. We are translating the tailwinds in the Electronics market to profitable growth, and seizing the opportunities created by the pace of technological change to gain market share. Demand across AI infrastructure and other high-performance electronics applications drove broad-based double-digit organic growth in each of our Electronics verticals. This growth is the product of several years of focused investment in technology, customer engagement, capacity expansion and operational excellence, which have strengthened our competitive position in the fastest-growing and highest-value areas of the electronics ecosystem. As our customers continue to build capacity and our supply chain continues to bring forward advanced technologies, we are investing alongside them. We are accelerating our own innovation, adding capacity in high-growth product lines and deepening strategic supply chain relationships to continue delivering for our customers and shareholders."

Mr Gliklich continued, "I am particularly proud of this quarter's results considering the risk of distraction from the proposed and subsequently terminated Solstice transaction. Our team did not miss a step. Reinforced by yet another consecutive record quarter, we are moving forward with greater focus, urgency and confidence. Our standalone, independent trajectory has only improved, and, as a result, we are raising our 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to approximately $720 million. This should translate to adjusted EPS growth in excess of 20% for the full year, driven by sustained momentum in Electronics and meaningful contributions from our recent acquisitions. Our formula of operational excellence and prudent capital allocation continues to deliver.”

Miami, Fla., April 28, 2026 -- Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) (“Element Solutions” or the “Company”), a global and diversified specialty chemicals technology company, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Executive Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Gliklich commented, “Element Solutions had an outstanding start to the year. We delivered double-digit organic net sales growth and strong margin expansion while ramping our investments to keep pace with customer innovation. The technical requirements in datacenter hardware and other high-performance electronics keep increasing, and our business is providing ever more critical solutions to challenges in thermal management, power density and advanced packaging applications. Along with the pace of innovation, the pace of activity in the electronics supply chain accelerated in Q1 to support AI infrastructure build-out. Customer orders and their go-forward forecasts increased materially, and our Electronics portfolio's net sales grew 15% organically. We are investing to keep up with the supply chain demands, whether that is inventory to support customer volumes, additional capacity in certain product lines or innovation to remain on the leading edge. Across all of these vectors, our investment is customer-led and supporting durable growth trends. Our largest recent investments - the EFC and Micromax acquisitions - closed this quarter, and their results are tracking favorably to our original plans. More importantly, their teams are settling well into our organization and energized by the opportunities our platform will provide them to better serve their customers.”

Mr. Gliklich continued, “Our organic acceleration in the first quarter gives us confidence in a strong year, despite a more complex macro environment than anticipated. We already see inflationary pressure driven by current geopolitical events and expect increased variance in quarterly earnings driven by swings in metals prices, although those benefitted us in Q1. We have a flexible operating model and a demonstrated track-record of agility, whether that relates to sourcing, pricing or cost management. We are already taking action to preserve our profitability and our ability to service customers. At the same time, the underlying demand in the high-end electronics market remains quite strong. Given the strong positions we have established in the fastest-growing, highest-value niches of these markets and our expectation that we can continue to nimbly manage through current supply chain disruptions, we are raising our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the full year.”

1 Adjusted EBITDA margin is now defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales excluding the value of certain pass-through metals. This change in calculation is also reflected in the prior comparison figures.
