Novonesis Reveals Ambitious Growth Strategy Towards 2030
New Strategic Vision for 2030
Novonesis has recently unveiled its ambitious ‘GROW’ strategy, aimed at propelling the company through significant growth and innovation until the year 2030. This strategy underscores a firm commitment to accelerating core business operations while making substantial reinvestments to ensure sustainable long-term growth.
Expected Growth and Financial Targets
The company projects an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in organic sales of 6-9% by 2030, driven primarily by increasing sales volume and improvements in synergy, as well as a consistent annual price contribution between 1-2%. The projections include plans for both Food & Health and Planetary Health Biosolutions divisions, indicating strong growth is expected across the board, with emerging markets likely to outpace developed ones.
Innovative Financial Outlook
Alongside sales targets, Novonesis anticipates an adjusted EBITDA margin of around 39% by 2030. This aligns with the company’s strategy to invest significantly in innovation and market strategies to fuel both short- and long-term growth. The expected adjusted return on invested capital (ROIC) excluding goodwill aims to reach approximately 16% by 2030, up from 8.3% in 2024, showcasing a strong commitment to financial efficiency and performance.
Market Adaptation and Responsiveness
Novonesis emphasizes its unique position in the biosolutions market, leveraging significant capabilities that allow it to tailor solutions to diverse customer needs. This positioning is rooted in a profound understanding of customer requirements, exceptional innovation, and a strong operational scale that delivers robust and economically feasible biosolutions. As global trends shift toward sustainable practices, the company recognizes an increasing demand for innovative biosolutions.
Targeting New Opportunities
The expansion strategy includes exploring new opportunities in high-potential areas such as Biopharma Processing Aids, Future Fuels and Chemicals, and Functional Food Proteins. By entering these sectors, Novonesis aims to tap into the vast untapped potential and solidify its market presence.
Investment Strategy and Principles
The firm has outlined a clear investment strategy that enhances its growth trajectory. Initially, capital expenditures (Capex) will be relatively high to support ongoing growth, coinciding with investment in a new ERP system and sustainability initiatives. Over time, Capex is expected to taper off to a more manageable high-single-digit percentage of sales.
Clear Financial Goals
The company aims for a targeted net debt/EBITDA ratio of around 1.5x, integrating this approach into a robust capital allocation policy that anticipates returning 40-60% of adjusted net profit as dividends to shareholders. This balance between growth investment and providing returns reflects Novonesis' strategic foresight.
Future Plans and Communication
The comprehensive strategy will be elaborated on during an extended conference call, scheduled to delve deeper into these plans. Slides and further insights will be made available to provide clarity and foster a deeper understanding of the company's intentions.
