Financial targets

Financial ambition

Inwido’s financial ambition is to increase operating EBITA by at least 10 percent annually.

Financial target - Sales growth

Inwido´s objective is to exceed growth in our current markets through organic growth, as well as selective acquisitions and initiatives in Europe.

Comments

In 2019, net sales decreased by 1 percent, while organic growth was -4 percent. Our assessment is that Inwido had organic growth in the Nordic region in line with the market as a whole.

Outcome 2019

Financial target - Profitability

Inwido’s profitability target is an operating EBITA margin of 12 percent. Inwido may not achieve the profitability target during years when the market trend is weaker. In such cases, we will undertake measures to further enhance profitability, which we have been successful with in the past.

Comments

The operating EBITA margin was 9.7 percent (9.9) for the year. The slightly lower margin is mainly due to reduced sales, primarily in Sweden and Finland, which was partly offset by improved efficiency and cost savings achieved.

Outcome 2019

Financial target - Capital structure

Inwido’s net debt in relation to operating EBITDA shall, excluding temporary deviations, not exceed a multiple of 2.5.

Comments

Net debt to operating EBITDA decreased to 2.2 times (2.7). The decrease in net debt in relation to operating EBITDA compared with the previous year is mainly explained by successful working capital efforts.

Outcome 2019

Financial target - Dividend

Inwido aims to pay its shareholders an annual dividend that corresponds to approximately 50 percent of net profit. However, Inwido’s financial status in relation to the target, cash flow and future prospects shall be taken into consideration.

Comments

The Board of Directors of Inwido AB withdraws the dividend proposal, due to the spread of the Coronavirus.The background is the considerable uncertainty that exists as a result of the effects of the spread of Covid-19. At present, it is impossible to assess how long-lasting or serious the situation and its effects will be, which is why it is important that the company’s financial position is as strong as possible for potential future challenges and opportunities.

Outcome 2019

Net debt to operating EBITDA

One of the key ratios in respect of the capital structure is nebt debt in relation to operating EBITDA (LTM). Inwido’s net debt in relation to operating EBITDA shall, excluding temporary devations, not exceed a multiple of 2.5.
