Commenting on today’s results, Olivier Rigaud, CEO, stated: “We
achieved solid results in the first nine months of 2024, reflecting
the fundamental strength of our business. I am happy to report
sustained growth in both volume/mix and Adjusted EBITDA, along with
strong, positive free cash flow generation. Our restructuring
program has advanced well, contributing to improved margins. With
this strong performance, highlighted by significant Adjusted EBITDA
growth, we, today, upgrade our full-year 2024 guidance.
We saw continuation of the positive momentum in Functional
Ingredients & Solutions with strong volume/mix growth in our
Food segment, whilst the softness of some Biochemicals markets
persists. In line with earlier guidance, pricing has been lower as
a result of price reductions following input cost relaxation. In
Health & Nutrition, we are experiencing robust double-digit
growth in both sales and Adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by the
Nutrition segment (Omega-3 DHA in aquaculture and pet nutrition).
In Q3, we have seen double-digit growth in all our segments:
Nutrition, Biomedical polymers and Pharma.
The ramp-up phase of our new circular lactic acid plant in
Thailand is underway. Lactic acid from the new Thai facility has
been successfully qualified and supplied to the joint venture for
the production of PLA.”
