Corbion FIRST LOOK: 3Q EBITDA in line despite weak top line, FY guidance kept

3Q top line was a bit weaker than expected whilst 3Q adjusted EBITDA increased by 11% organically and was in line with our and consensus expectations. Corbion still expects organic EBITDA growth of over 25% which translates into c. €207m when taking into account the expected negative $ effect (KBCS & CSS €206m). We continue to appreciate Corbion for its market leadership in lactic acid and growth opportunities within the existing portfolio (food adjacencies, omega-3) whilst looking ahead to the upcoming CMD (20 Nov). We reiterate our Accumulate rating with € 26 TP.
