Solvay Conference call feedback

Below are the highlights from the conference call. Key takeaway for us is the negative impact from phasing out thermal insulation and third party energy supplies activities as well as dissynergies on the 2023 baseline EBITDA for the separated companies, which will require us to lower our forecasts. Despite this, we maintain our BUY rating as we still believe the upcoming separation will be an important catalyst to unlock shareholder value and we consider valuation to be very attractive.
