Thomas Eldered, CEO:
Accelerating towards our targets
“The good performance we saw in the second quarter has continued and further improved. Today I’m therefore pleased to report our strongest ever third quarter. Net sales increased 26 per cent over the previous year with a good contribution from the newly acquired inhalation business. Organic growth was 11 per cent and we see strong growth across all three business segments and in all geographies where we operate.
EBITDA increased 87 per cent and in addition to acquisitions we report good contributions from serialisation, newly expanded capacities and our global development services. For non-lyophilized injectables I’m still not satisfied with the performance, but we are making progress on our improvement plan. Stock building in preparation for Brexit in our UK inhalation business generated approximately 10 per cent EBITDA increase.
EBITDA-margin in the normally weak third quarter increased significantly to a very satisfactory 15.7 per cent, whereof 1.3 percentage points was due to new accounting standards.
As earlier in the year we report strong cash flow and good cash conversion. Despite high sales growth we continue to keep working capital almost flat. With limited capex this translates into continued de-leveraging where we are now at a level which will allow us to make acquisitions going forward.
We are clearly benefitting from our global reach and our competitive value proposition to customers as we are taking leadership in selected markets. Our objectives and strategies remain unchanged. We will continue to build powerful, long lasting partnerships with strategically important customers, in addition to adding further technologies and differentiating businesses, based on customer needs.”
