Lindab's revised financial targets

Lindab is hosting an Investor Day at Operaterassen in Stockholm, today 14 June 2010. The programme included presentations of the updated strategy and vision, as well as the latest sales performance. One of the final items on the agenda was the revision of the financial targets, presented by CFO Nils-Johan Andersson.

Lindab's strong starting position and revised strategy have formed the basis in determining the following financial targets:

• Growth: 8% per year (organic)
• Operating margin: 14% (EBIT)
• Net debt-equity ratio: 0.8 - 1.2 times
• Dividend policy: 40 - 50% of net profit

Nils-Johan Andersson, CFO, comments:

"We are increasing our growth target with regard to organic growth from the previous 6 percent to 8 percent annually. This is based upon our updated strategy with focus on profitable growth, while at the same time demand is currently at a low level. Since we expect a gradual improvement in the market in the coming years, we judge this goal as being ambitious, yet realistic."

"We estimate that Lindab will once again be able to reach an operating margin of 14 percent EBIT under good economic conditions. Lindab has implemented comprehensive savings that will increase the profitability of the company when the volumes return. The updated strategy will also bring greater focus on profitable core products, resulting in an improved product mix."

"The target for the net debt-equity ratio has been reduced from the interval 1.0 - 1.4 times to 0.8 - 1.2 times which reflects historic levels."
