Ashland Q3 Sales $497M, Adj. EBITDA $109M; Reaffirms FY26 Outlook

AI Summary

Ashland Inc. announced preliminary third-quarter fiscal year 2026 results, with sales increasing 7% to $497 million and net income of $16 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 4% to $109 million, primarily due to lower Specialty Additives and Intermediates earnings, despite growth in Life Sciences and Personal Care. The company reaffirmed its full-year sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance but revised its adjusted EPS outlook to low-to-mid-single digit growth due to a higher tax rate.
