In light of the challenging conditions of a dynamically changing world, an EBITDA margin before exceptional items of 14.7% for the year under review should be considered a success and represents a further improvement over the previous year. However, the gap to the target range of 16% to 19% cannot be closed without additional value generation, which will take place by using the company’s established five-pillar strategy: increasing profitability, repositioning of the portfolio, adding value through sustainability, fostering innovation and R&D as well as intensifying growth.
