(Reuters) - German chemicals distributor Brenntag on Wednesday forecast lower core earnings for 2023, as it expects the uncertain and challenging macroeconomic environment to keep weighing on its performance.
The company targets annual operating earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in a range of 1.60 billion to 1.80 billion euros ($1.69 billion to $1.90 billion), compared with the 1.81 billion euros it reported for 2022.
