Olivier Rigaud, CEO of Corbion, comments:

“I am pleased to report a 2023 full year outcome in line with what we indicated in October of last year. This performance was realized in a challenging geopolitical and macro-economic environment. Although we see a sequential improvement in some of our key markets, we have embarked on a restructuring program, designed to achieve significant free cash flow delivery, and enabling leverage reduction. We have developed a simpler, more efficient and focused organization consisting of two business units and will implement appropriate measures to deliver annualized cost savings of around €55 million. The recent announcement of the disposal of our Emulsifier business not only completes a strategic realignment of our portfolio but also contributes to bolstering the balance sheet.”
