CUSTOMERS DRIVE REVENUE SYNERGIES
Revenue synergy opportunities in excess of $50MM by 2025
The complementary aspects of our combined businesses are unquestionable.
Our free cash flow supports
shareholder value creation through
investing in R&D for organic growth,
completing bolt-on acquisitions, and
returning cash to shareholders via our
dividend program and opportunistic
share repurchases.

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.
