Bayer reported a net loss of €963 million in the third quarter, down from €4.18 billion a year earlier, driven by improved performance in its agricultural and pharmaceutical divisions, while confirming its 2025 guidance.
The company’s revenues rose 0.9% to €9.66 billion on an adjusted basis, with EBITDA before extraordinary items up 20.8% to €1.51 billion. Net financial debt slightly declined to €32.71 billion.
