Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the median of other
selected chemical / specialty
companies.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
