Free Cash Flow Conversion (1)
2021E (%)
Being asset light helps us to generate
strong free cash flow that is in line
with specialty formulators.
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.
