Sud Sivaji, CEO of Aperam, commented: “I am proud to report Q3 results for 2026, the best Q3 performance in 4 years. This performance in the context of the seasonality and the weak demand in Europe reinforces our hard work as we invest in expanding Aperam beyond Europe and beyond stainless production. A key goal of this transformation shines through in our benchmark cash performance – building businesses which aim to deliver at a structurally higher cash conversion ratio, as an integrated value chain. Our net financial debt continued to decrease even in Q3 and we are well on course to meet our deleveraging target for the end of 2027.”
