Briefing
Ashland's financial results for Q3 2021 were announced.
Ashland reported sales of $637 million, up 11% year-over-year, with net income of $80 million. Strong demand was partially offset by weakness in hand-sanitizer ingredients and Avoca. Global supply-chain and logistics disruptions also limited the company’s ability to meet all customer demand.
- Sales reached $637 million, an 11% increase from the prior-year quarter.
- Net income was $80 million, translating to $1.29 per diluted share.
- Income from continuing operations was $87 million, or $1.40 per diluted share.
