63% : The company develops silicones, silicon products and carbon solutions by combining natural raw materials, renewable energy and human ingenuity.
49% : Ferrosilicon prices in the EU are improving due to the implemented safeguard measures on imports of certain ferroalloys, but this has not yet impacted the division's results.
49% : Elkem had cash and cash equivalents of NOK 3 806 million as at 31 December 2025, and undrawn credit lines of more than NOK 6 000 million. Trade regulations and protective measures are likely to continue affecting Elkem's markets, contributing to ongoing uncertainty.
48% : Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was NOK 890 million, down 24 per cent from the corresponding quarter last year.
