IMCD Short-term revisions in light of the uncertainty

In this note we adjust our numbers to reflect the increased uncertainty which results in lower organic growth for FY25 and FY26. While the Gross Profit margin remained robust, OpEx was well above expectations across all regions. Due to these dynamics we lower our forecasted FY25 EBITA by 6% to € 548m. Furthermore, we dive into the divergence with Azelis as this stood out in 1Q25. Our adjustments result in a lower valuation of € 147 per share. Given the upside we maintain our Accumulate recommendation.
