    BASF announces its third-quarter results

    On October 9, BASF released preliminary data for the third quarter of 2020 and its full-year forecast: sales in the third quarter fell by 5% to €13,812 million, and net income was minus €2,121 million
    .

    BASF said sales fell by 5 percent to €13,812 million in the third quarter, compared to €
    14,556 million in the same period of 2019, due to unfavorable currency effects.

    BASF believes that the third quarter of 2020 was better than expected
    .
    EBIT before special items amounted to €581 million, above analysts' consensus forecast, but still below €1,056 million
    in the prior-year quarter.
    EBIT before special items increased by €355 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020 and €226 million
    in the second quarter of 2020.

    EBIT before special items of the BASF Group decreased year-on-year, mainly due to weaker
    earnings due to continued margin pressure in the Upstream Chemicals & Materials segment.
    Nutrition & Care, Agricultural Solutions, Industrial Solutions and other business areas also earned less than in the prior-year quarter
    .
