Corbion Conference call feedback

Below are the highlights from the conference call. We remind that 3Q Core adjusted EBITDA came in below expectations with FY guidance lowered to the low end of the 15-20% growth range. A strategic review on PLA is initiated as well as a restructuring program. Overall, we still appreciate Corbion for the combination of an intrinsically defensive food ingredients business and a market leading technology position (gypsum free LA soon being rolled out), whilst still seeing growth beyond PLA (like in Algae, Biomedical and adjacencies within the food ingredients space). We maintain our Accumulate rating, but given the uncertainty on the PLA outlook we lowered our target price this morning from € 30 to € 26.
