Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the majority of our
chemical peers.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
