Wacker Chemie AG / Forecast Change 
WACKER Raises its Forecast for Fiscal Year 2021 
Munich, June 16, 2021, 16.30 p.m. CEST - Following the sustained positive performance of its business, Wacker Chemie AG 
("WACKER") is raising its full-year guidance for sales and EBITDA. The company now expects full-year 2021 sales of 
around EUR5.5 billion (2020: EUR4.69 billion). Previously, WACKER had assumed sales growth in the low double-digit 
percentage range. Group EBITDA for 2021 is expected to be between EUR900 million and EUR1.1 billion. Previously, WACKER had 
expected EBITDA to rise by 15 to 25 percent year-on-year (EUR666 million). For Q2 2021, WACKER expects sales of around 
EUR1.5 billion and EBITDA between EUR300 million and EUR350 million. 
The ongoing positive development of polysilicon prices and the continuously strong demand in WACKER's chemical business 
are the reasons for the higher expectations. At the same time, however, higher raw material prices and negative 
currency effects are expected to weigh on EBITDA with more than EUR300 million (previous forecast: more than EUR200 
million). The current forecast takes this development into account.
