Corbion - CMD: less sales growth, more EBITDA and FCF

For the coming years Corbion continues to see strong EBITDA growth and is focusing on FCF which should bring down leverage. However, volume/mix growth is targeted at 2-6%, CSS and we are at the high of this range.  Q4 sales came in below expectations, but EBITDA and FCF above resulting in a lower than expected leverage. On balance, some mixed feelings, but at this stage bringing down the leverage is key. Buy maintained. Corbion is part of our preference list
