Sasol Surpasses FY26 Performance Targets Amid Global Market Volatility

Secunda Operations in Southern Africa reached a five-year production high, bolstered by the successful implementation of the destoning project and increased natural gas availability. While the company celebrated operational gains, leadership emphasized a renewed commitment to safety following two fatalities earlier in the year. Internationally, the chemicals business saw a strategic reset, with the American division benefiting from stable production and higher market pricing. Adjusted EBITDA for the International Chemicals segment is projected to surpass the initial guidance range of US$375 million to US$450 million.

Strategic progress continues with the expansion of renewable energy capacity, now exceeding 500 MW, and a new investment in specialty alumina production in Brunsbüttel, Germany. To address global supply constraints for n-paraffin and linear alkylbenzene, the firm is restarting its previously mothballed production unit in Augusta, Italy. Looking toward the upcoming fiscal year, Sasol plans to maintain its group hedging programs against currency and oil price volatility as it prepares for the full financial results disclosure on 1 September 2026.
