Corbion FIRST LOOK: 3Q EBITDA +44%, FY guidance upped but still looks cautious

3Q24 adj EBITDA jumped by 44% and was c. 4% above our estimate and 5% above consensus, supported by cost savings and an acceleration of organic growth. FY adj EBITDA growth guidance is upped from >18% to 22-25% which seems conservative with our and consensus forecasts even higher (at +30% and +28%). Although the recent track record has been more volatile than expected, the strategic choices made recently (sticking to PLA, a disciplined investment approach on Algae, a much increased FCF focus) make sense. We appreciate Corbion for its leading position in lactic acid and consider valuation to be attractive. Accumulate & € 26 TP kept.
