Corbion FIRST LOOK: FY23 results & FY24 guidance in line with CMD statements

FY23 results were fully in line with the preliminary figures that were already released at the end of January, and also the earlier given FY24 guidance of at least 15% adjusted EBITDA growth for the Core operations excluding stranded costs linked to the Emulsifiers divestment was reiterated. Although the recent track record has been more volatile than expected, the strategic choices made and explained in the recent CMD (sticking to PLA, a disciplined investment approach on ao Algae, a much increased FCF focus) make sense in our opinion. We still appreciate Corbion for its leading position in lactic acid and consider valuation to be attractive. We maintain our Accumulate rating and € 26 target price.
