On its Investor Day 2018, Alsea established a guidance for 2018-2023, which has now been moved to 2019-2022, and adjusted considering the macroeconomic context and changes in the Company (M&A activity and divestments).

For 2019-2022 Alsea is projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 15% for sales, driven by a 6 to 7 percent organic growth, in addition to a similar figure for consolidated same store sales. This factors in divestments of some units and brands in our portfolio.

With respect to EBITDA, the Company expects a CAGR from 2019-2022 above 16.5%, with a margin close to 15%, driven by the improved performance of our European operations following expected synergies and efficiencies.

In line with Alsea's commitment to provide investors attractive returns, for the period ending in 2022 we are forecasting a CAGR EPS growth above 25%, and to close 2022 with a ROIC of 13.5% and a ROE of 16%, with an accumulated dividend of $3.90 pesos per share over these 4 years, factoring in the postponement of this year's dividend.

By following and executing its business plan, the Company is confident that it will achieve these objectives set for 2022. Alsea will continue focusing on sales growth, operating efficiencies, and thereby seek to generate value for its shareholders.
