Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has achieved recognition from the European Commission's 'Innovation Radar' as a 'Key Innovator' for pioneering the production of circular carbon black from 100% pyrolysis oil derived from end-of-life tires. This sustainable alternative to fossil oil-based carbon black marks a significant breakthrough in circular manufacturing.
The recognition stems from Orion's participation in the EU-funded BlackCycle project, a Michelin-led initiative involving seven industrial partners and five research organizations. The project aimed to develop innovative processes for manufacturing new tires from end-of-life tires.
Building on this success, Orion has launched the 'Clean Carbon Black Research and Development Project,' supported by a €6.4 million grant from the German government and European Union. This initiative focuses on developing climate-neutral processes for producing carbon black from alternative carbon sources.

Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) reported its Q4 and full-year 2024 financial results. For Q4 2024, net sales decreased 7.3% to $434.2 million, while net income increased by $12.3 million to $17.2 million. Full-year 2024 showed net sales of $1,877.5 million (down 0.9%) and net income of $44.2 million (down $59.3 million).
The company maintained rubber profitability despite soft demand, while specialty segment showed 11% year-over-year volume growth. Orion repurchased approximately 2% of outstanding shares in 2024. The company faced challenges including soft Western tire production levels and foreign exchange headwinds.
Notable incidents included a criminal scheme resulting in $55.7 million in fraudulent wire transfers. For 2025, Orion provided Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $290-330 million and Adjusted EPS guidance of $1.45-1.90.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has signed a long-term supply agreement with Contec S.A. for tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) to produce circular carbon black for tire and rubber goods customers. The partnership with Warsaw-based Contec helps Orion diversify its TPO sources.
TPO-based manufacturing represents the only circular technology advancing to industrial production for high-quality active carbon black. The process involves exposing end-of-life tires to high temperatures to create feedstock for virgin carbon black production. Notably, Orion stands as the sole company that has produced circular carbon black using 100% TPO feedstock, demonstrating that their circular products can substitute virgin carbon black in various applications.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) announced preliminary unaudited financial results for FY2024, expecting adjusted EBITDA to fall slightly below the guided range of $305-$315 million. The shortfall is attributed to multiple factors: foreign exchange impacts from a strengthening dollar, one-time costs from a workforce reduction plan, weaker Rubber segment volumes in Q4, and less favorable Specialty segment mix.
The company has initiated a cost reduction plan, reducing non-plant workforce by ~6%, which is expected to yield approximately $6 million in annualized cost savings in 2025. Management attributes the Rubber segment weakness to pressure on Western tire production due to elevated imports from Southeast Asia and China, along with year-end inventory adjustments from key customers.
Despite these challenges, Orion expects modest growth in 2025, building on structurally improved returns. The company will report Q4 and full-year 2024 results after market close on February 19, 2025.
Orion S.A. (NYSE: OEC) has announced its participation in the upcoming Baird Global Industrial Conference in Chicago on November 14. The company's leadership team, including CEO Corning Painter, CFO Jeff Glajch, and VP of Investor Relations Chris Kapsch, will attend the event. Painter is scheduled to deliver a presentation from 10:50 AM to 11:20 AM CST. Interested parties can access the presentation through the 'Events and Presentations' section on Orion's investor relations website.
