    • Net income from total operations at €5,849 million (2017: €75 million), including discontinued operations at €5,814 million (2017: €46 million)
    Full-year 2018:

    • Adjusted operating income at €798 million (2017: €905 million) impacted by adverse currencies, higher raw material costs and lower volumes, not yet fully offset by pricing initiatives and cost-saving programs;
    • ROS excluding unallocated costs, at 10.6 percent (2017: 10.6 percent); ROI4 at 12.6 percent (2017: 13.9 percent);
    • Final dividend proposed of €1.43 per share (post consolida­tion)

    "2018 was a landmark year for AkzoNobel as we completed the sale of the Specialty Chemicals business and began returning the vast majority of proceeds to our shareholders," AkzoNobel CEO Thierry Vanlancker said. "Despite strong headwinds, we made good progress on delivering our Winning together: 15 by 20 strategy with an increased business return on sales at nine percent in the fourth quarter compared to 8.4 percent last year and 10.6 percent in the second half of the year versus 9.2 percent in the same period in 2017.

    "We're now a focused paints and coatings company and are channeling all our experience, energy and passion into being recognized as the reference in our industry," the CEO said. "We continue to invest in growth and in 2018, we made multiple bolt-on acquisitions, including Fabryo in Romania, Xylazel in Spain, Colourland Paints in Malaysia and the AkzoNobel Swire Paints joint venture in China. These deals will help accelerate our momentum as we continue to build AkzoNobel into an industry leader.
     
    "Another highlight was the introduction of our Paint the Future startup challenge," Vanlancker added. "It's designed to combine our global scale, know-how and expertise with the ingenious solutions of startups and scale-ups in the dynamic world of paints and coatings, making sure AkzoNobel is the reference when it comes to open innovation."

    AkzoNobel in € millions Q4 2017 Q4 2018 Delta% Delta% CC1
    Revenue 2,283 2,308 1% 4%
    Adjusted operating income3 178 181 2%  
    ROS excluding unallocated costs2 8.4% 9.0%    

    Other highlights:

    AkzoNobel launched its Paint the Future startup challenge. 
     
    In December, the company acquired the minority interest share to obtain full ownership of the AkzoNobel Swire Paints joint venture. A month earlier, AkzoNobel acquired Colourland Paints (Malaysia).
     
    To celebrate the delivery of Boeing's 787th 787 aircraft, AkzoNobel's "base coat/clear coat" system was used as part of a one-off design painted onto the landmark plane, which was ordered by China Southern Airlines. Boeing also hit another milestone recently, delivering its 1,000th new aircraft to have been painted with AkzoNobel's Aerodur 3001/3002 paint system.
