DSM 2Q adj EBITDA up 5%, slightly better than expected, FY guidance kept
2Q adj EBITDA was 1% better than CSS and 2% above our forecasts, while FY guidance is maintained. We remind that DSM is preparing to merge with Firmenich, which we consider to be a good strategic fit. The combination will enlarge the portfolio with a leading position in fragrances and strengthening the offering in food and beverages by adding ao Firmenich's expertise in taste. DSM-Firmenich will be a global powerhouse with a well-balanced portfolio and solid growth prospects. The gradual realization of € 350m adjusted EBITDA synergies should support earnings momentum in the coming years, while the proposed merger structure allows to keep a solid balance sheet. We maintain our Accumulate rating and € 190 target price.Royal DSM is engaged in the creation of products and services in Life Sciences and Materials Sciences.
