This presentation contains statements concerning the future performance of the Sartorius and the Sartorius Stedim Biotech Groups. These statements are based on assumptions and estimates. Although we are convinced that these forward-looking statements are realistic, we cannot guarantee that they will actually materialize.

This is because our assumptions harbor risks and uncertainties that could lead to actual results diverging substantially from the expected ones. It is not planned to update our forward-looking statements.

Throughout this presentation, differences may be apparent as a result of rounding during addition.

  • In 2021, acquisitions projected with no significant profitability effect on the Group and BPS, plus ~0.5pp for LPS
  • CAPEX ratio ~15% (FY 2020: 10.3%); accelerate and extend capacity expansion especially in BPS due to growth expectations
  • Net debt to underlying EBITDA is projected at slightly below 2.5 (2020: 2.6)

2025 ambition - increased baseline and organic growth

  • Initial 2025 group sales revenue targets were based on an estimated 2020 group revenue of €2bn, based on the mid-term guidance of 2012
  • Expectation was to double the revenue target to €4bn within 5 years
  • Actual 2020 Group revenue was approx. €2.3bn; with the overachievement being mainly driven by BPS
  • The new mid-term target of €5bn in revenue reflects both the elevated baseline and future growth prospects
  • Continued strategy is to achieve the targets primarily through organic growth; acquisition to contribute underproportionally
  • The increase in the profitability outlook is due to economies of scale and also reflects the assumption of acquisitions to be initially dilutive
