Oslo, 19 March 2026

Scope Ratings has today resolved Elkem's rating status, and affirmed its issuer rating at BBB- and assigned a Negative Outlook.

Scope Ratings states that Elkem's affirmed issuer rating is supported by unchanged financial risk profile, offsetting its lowered business risk profile. The Negative Outlook stems from weak 2025 results paired with limited deleveraging provided by the Silicones divestment.

Elkem remains committed to an investment grade profile, targeting further cost and debt reductions to sustain robust financial metrics.  

The rating report from Scope is attached.
