Dustin Capital Markets Day 2019

Dustin hosts a Capital Markets Day today at the Logistics Center in Rosersberg. The focus of today is to provide a detailed review of the company's strategy and market position, as well as to present an update on what the company has achieved so far in the five-year plan presented on the Capital Markets Day two years ago. At the same time, it is communicated that the financial targets are unchanged.

The overall ambition is that Dustin, in line with the company's unchanged financial targets (see below), will continue to drive organic growth of 8 percent over a cycle, supplemented with 3-5 acquisitions per year, and reach an adjusted EBITA margin within the target range of 5-6 percent. Profitability will, over time, primarily be strengthened through an increased proportion of services sales and recurring revenues, as well as continued bolt-on acquisitions of companies niched towards selected areas. Furthermore, the company expects that a continued expansion of private label products, a more balanced mix between customer groups and segments together with previously announced automation of the warehouse will contribute positively.

The company presents an updated approximation for private label products to reach a total annual profit contribution of around SEK 90 million in three years. Dustin also expects its initiatives within managed and cloud-based services to generate recurring revenues of around SEK 1.5 billion in the 2021/22 fiscal year. Furthermore, a picture of Dustin's strong position online and how this develop the overall business is given. In addition, the acquisition strategy together with the company's good financial position and low capital requirements are highlighted.

- We have a favourable position and a clear objective to deliver in accordance with our financial targets and our communicated five-year plan. This is ensured through our investments made for future increased service sales, changed customer needs and a strong and efficient organization, says Thomas Ekman, President and CEO of Dustin.
