Wacker Chemical Co., Ltd.'s sales and profits in the second quarter of 2023 decreased due to the continued severe market environment. The current period's sales amounted to 1.75 billion euros (2022: 2.17 billion euros), a year-on-year decrease of 19%. The main reasons for the decline in this performance are the lower sales prices and reduced sales volume, and the exchange rate effect also has a negative impact on sales. However, compared to the previous quarter (1.74 billion euros), sales for the current period increased by 1%.
