2023 Capital Markets Day
Material growth and efficiency opportunity; ambitious 2026
financial targets.
Elementis plc ("Elementis" or the "Group"), will hold a Capital
Markets Day for analysts and investors, at 2pm today.
The day will be hosted by Paul Waterman, Chief Executive
Officer, and will include presentations from the wider management
team, as well as practical demonstrations focusing on recent
innovative technologies and products.
New ambitious 2026 Group performance objectives
- Adjusted operating profit margin of 19%+
- Three-year average operating cash conversion above 90%
- Return on capital employed (excluding goodwill) above 20%
The 19% target operating margin will be achieved through our
growth and efficiency programmes based on current market
conditions, whilst a modest recovery in the demand environment
could see the margin rise above this level.
The presentation will include an update on our Innovation,
Growth and Efficiency strategy, and will detail the programmes
expected to deliver material growth, savings and margin
improvements.
It will also cover progress on our sustainability strategy,
highlighting continued focus on innovative solutions, which are
delivering material benefits to our customers and the wider
environment.
Growth platforms - $90 million above market revenue growth by
2026
Following the sale of Chromium earlier this year, Elementis is a
higher-quality, less-cyclical, specialty chemicals business.
The Group has two focused businesses, Performance Specialties
and Personal Care, with attractive growth opportunities across a
wide range of market segments in which we operate.
Going forward we will be focusing on seven growth platforms and
deliver $90 million of above market revenue growth by 2026. This
will be driven by innovation, utilising our advantaged
technologies, benefiting from key industry trends.
Efficiency platforms - $30 million annual cost savings by
2025
We continue to drive towards a more efficient business, that
reflects the simplified structure of Elementis post Chromium
disposal. Elementis is executing its Fit for the Future efficiency
programme, which will deliver $20 million cost savings by 2025. It
will involve up to 190* redundancies, from moving roles to lower
cost locations and outsourcing of back office transactional roles.
As part of this programme we are setting up a new global support
base and R&D lab in Porto, Portugal.
A further $10 million annual savings by 2025 will come from
supply chain optimisation and procurement savings.
Paul Waterman, CEO of Elementis, said:
"Today, we are excited to share an update on our strategy,
focused on innovation and growth across seven growth platforms,
which will deliver $90 million above market growth by 2026.
Furthermore, we have two efficiency programmes underway, leading to
$30 million cost reduction by 2025.
The combination of improved performance, strong cash generation
and continuing leverage reduction will support attractive,
sustainable shareholder returns.
I look forward to welcoming investors and analysts to our
Capital Markets Day, to share our passion for Elementis and our
ambition for the future."
