Solvay - Separation should lead to re-rating Syensqo

• We have tweaked our EBITDA estimates by 1-2% towards the low-end of the FY23 guidance range to reflect increased signs of macro-economic weakness.• The flagged one-off separation/restructuring charges were higher than we had anticipated and there has also been an additional PFAS settlement in the US. • Our 2024E SOTP now arrives at EUR 143 p/s (was EUR 148 p/s). This can be broken down in EUR 112 p/s for Syensqo and EUR 31 p/s Solvay 2.0. We remain positive on the separation as we see significant room for a re-rating of Syensqo
