We are factoring in the likelihood of a large acquisition in the short- to- medium term. Although this potential move would probably releverage the group, we take comfort from both Prysmian’s cautious financial policy and its good track-record for integrating large-size companies (such as Draka). In addition, the group has the financial firepower to undertake such an acquisition, with its low adjusted net leverage of 1.9x, strong liquidi-ty, and robust cash generation. From a strategic view, a large deal would make Prysmian an undisputable, large-scale leader with potentially less concentration on the European, African and Middle East market (67% of group’s revenue) in the event of an acquisition outside Europe.
