Performance Overview
- The company reported a challenging quarter, significantly impacted by external disruptions, particularly in the PVC business, which faced supply chain constraints and pricing pressures.

- Profitability was severely affected, with EBITDA declining 28% YoY. This was primarily due to losses in the PVC business, stemming from higher input costs (VCM) and lower realization prices.
