Specialty Chemicals Energy Storage Adjusted EBITDA measures Albemarle's reported adjusted EBITDA for the Energy Storage segment.

Albemarle reported $697.2 million of Energy Storage adjusted EBITDA in 2025, down 8% from 2024.

Why it matters

Adjusted EBITDA connects lithium pricing and volume with segment-level operating profitability under Albemarle's management reporting framework.

Investor caution

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP, issuer-defined measure. Lower lithium pricing, joint-venture earnings, input costs, restructuring savings, commissions, and currency all affected the 2025 result.

Connect segment net sales, year-over-year sales growth, management-attributed pricing and volume effects, and adjusted EBITDA across Energy Storage, Specialties, and Ketjen.

How the model fits together
  • Energy Storage price, volume, and profitability: Energy Storage net sales and sales growth connect the segment's top-line outcome with management-attributed pricing and volume effects, while adjusted EBITDA shows how those drivers translated into profitability. Albemarle identified unfavorable pricing primarily in battery- and tech-grade lithium carbonate and hydroxide sold under index-referenced and variable-priced contracts, so the bridge should not be treated as a standardized lithium benchmark.
  • Ketjen price, volume, and profitability: Ketjen net sales and sales growth combine higher volume, primarily in FCC, with a small favorable pricing contribution, while adjusted EBITDA adds catalyst-segment profitability. Equity earnings, currency, and other operating factors also affected results, so volume and pricing are not a complete earnings reconciliation.
  • Specialties price, volume, and profitability: Specialties net sales and sales growth combine higher volume with unfavorable pricing in lithium specialties that was partially offset by favorable pricing in bromine and derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA adds profitability context while preserving the segment's mixed-chemistry exposure and issuer-defined non-GAAP boundary.
