Kemira organizes a virtual Capital Markets Day for investors and analysts today,
President and CEO
"Since the last Capital Markets Day in 2017, Kemira has significantly improved profitability. We have taken a lot of action to strengthen the foundation and we are confident Kemira is now a fundamentally stronger company. As a sign of this, Kemira's Board of Directors has approved the company's updated financial targets as well as the dividend policy: we are now aiming at an operative EBITDA margin of 15-18% and over-time increasing dividends to our shareholders.
Looking ahead, we have three key future focus areas: looking for above-the-market growth opportunities organically and inorganically as well as capitalizing on the opportunities arising from the growing sustainability trend, all the while maintaining profitability within the updated operative EBITDA margin range of 15-18%.
In terms of profitable growth, we see opportunities to grow both in Industry & Water as well as in Pulp & Paper. We also see interesting growth opportunities on the sustainability side as sustainable chemical solutions are expected to play an even larger role in our customers' businesses in the future. Our objective is to become the leading provider of sustainable chemical solutions for water-intensive industries in the future and support our customers on their sustainability journey. This will mean building a more biobased product portfolio in the years to come by allocating investments to biobased products. Our goal is to grow our biobased revenue from 100 MEUR today to over 500 MEUR in 2030."
