Investor Day 2026 summary
14 Oct, 2026Strategy and value creation
March 2025 plan focuses on Growth, Operations and People; six consecutive quarters of broad-based growth followed product launches and stronger commercial execution.
Margins are up ~300 bps versus two years ago, market share has increased in most core categories, and a stronger product pipeline supports a higher medium-term outlook.
Next phase deepens EBS, accelerates launches and share gains, expands productivity, and maintains disciplined capital deployment; employee engagement improved in three consecutive annual surveys.
Commercial execution, manufacturing productivity and G&A efficiency improved; over 50% of management roles are filled internally.
Financial performance and capital allocation
Medium-term outlook raised to 2%-5% core growth, 5%-8% adjusted EBITDA growth, 7%-11% adjusted EPS growth and ~100% free cash flow conversion.
Underlying growth is 3%-4% excluding Spark deferrals, channel inventory normalization and tariff-related pricing; EBITDA growth is ~2x revenue growth, with another 1-2 points of EPS growth and 1:1 cash conversion.
2025 core sales growth was 6.5% and FCF conversion was 114%; $1.1B cash and 0.7x leverage, with $282M returned to shareholders and a $300M repurchase authorization through 2028.
Nearly $1B of annual procurement spend is addressable, with $10M of expected 2026 savings; pricing contributed ~$100M over three years.
Capital priorities remain organic investment, M&A and shareholder returns; debt priorities include extending duration, diversifying instruments and staggering maturities.
