Outlook and guidance
Financial objectives: annual EBITA growth CAGR above 15%, return on equity above 20% and net debt/EBITDA below 3x.
Acquisition discussions remain relatively high and prospects for further acquisitions are considered favourable; a strong balance sheet and low leverage support acquisition capacity.
Specialty Pharma’s margin is expected to strengthen as new launches and existing products entering additional markets contribute a larger share of sales.
