In the second quarter of 2015, we improved our sales and earnings despite lower growth in some markets and continuing volatile raw material prices.
"In the first half of 2015, our earnings matched the level of the first half of the previous year – in line with our full-year outlook,” said Dr Kurt Bock, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE at the Half-Year Press Conference. Sales of BASF Group in Q2, 2015 grew by 3% to €19.1bn yr-on-yr. Sales volumes grew by 2% yr-on-yr. This was predominantly through a sharp increase in volumes in the Oil & Gas segment. All segments recorded positive currency effects.
