Lindab International AB :Lindab announces a new strategy and new financial targets
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Lindab presents today a brief overview of the strategy 2015-2020, which means a
long-term re-positioning to generate greater value for more stakeholders and to
extend Lindab's share of the value chain. The strategy builds on internal
strengths and unique opportunities to take advantage of global trends, notably
regarding solutions within the ventilation area.
Lindab's President and CEO, Anders Berg, comments:
"We have a solid platform to build on. Last year we restructured the
organisation into a flat, matrix organisation, which has resulted in quicker
decision paths, stronger customer focus and a holistic view that benefits the
entire Group. At the same time, we have strengthened our financial position,
creating more headroom for growth, both organic and through acquisitions. With
this in place, it is now time to roll out the new strategy in order to further
advance our market positions and to ensure that we reach our new financial
targets."
The period for achieving the financial targets extends over one business cycle.
Growth: Our annual growth rate shall be 5-8 percent, as a combination of organic
and acquired growth.
Profitability: Our operating margin, EBIT, shall amount to 10 percent.
Capital structure: The ratio of long-term seasonally adjusted net debt to EBITDA
is not to exceed 2.5.
Dividend policy: Dividends to shareholders are to normally comprise 30 percent
of profit after tax, taking into account Lindab's financial position,
acquisition needs and long-term financing needs.
The strategy will presented in conjunction with the interim report an audiocast
telephone conference to be held at today 10.00 a.m. (CET). To participate,
