Clariant AG-REG reported a 16% drop in Q1 EBITDA to 160.2 million Swiss francs ($205.44 million). The result missed analyst expectations of 162 million francs as geopolitical conflict disrupted the catalysts business. Rising input costs and demand volatility in the Middle East are pressuring margins for energy-intensive chemical producers.
