Corbion - Sales missing, EBITDA beating, SBB+spec div

Q1-23 sales missed expectations but the key KPI, volume mix was in line. EBITDA beat by 3% thanks to a very strong performance in Human & Health. Corbion maintained its guidance, but announced a EUR 20m share buyback and EUR 0.10 special dividend. Despite this extra cash-out it maintained the leverage guidance, illustrating company's confidence on cash generation.  We reiterate our Buy rating and TP of EUR 28
