For its 1Q 2010, the Silcea segment of Rhodia SA has reported net sales of €187 M (€142 M for its 1Q 2009) and recurring EBITDA of €43 M (€3 M). Rhodia Silcea produces high performance silicas for tires, rare earth-based materials to serve the automotive emissions reduction, lighting and electronics markets, and diphenols for flavours and fragrances markets. Silcea reported a record level of recurring EBITDA. This performance was mainly driven by a strong demand momentum across its three segments with volumes up by 39% year-on-year as well as solid pricing power. In 2Q 2010, Silcea's activity is expected to remain robust.
