Elementis is a global specialty chemicals business providing innovative solutions for some of the biggest challenges facing industries and companies today. Our business model is built on differentiated premium assets, an innovation focus, clear growth opportunities and strong cash generation.

1- Differentiated premium assets

The fundamentals of our business are strong, focused on high quality, high margin activities in Personal Care and Performance Specialties. These premium performance additives businesses are centred on long duration and differentiated resources, including the only hectorite clay mine in the world in California, and high quality talc deposits in Finland. Together with our unique technology and market leading formulation capabilities, these create compelling competitive advantages.

2- INNOVATION FOCUS

Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Leveraging our capabilities in rheology, surface chemistry and formulation, we help our customers respond to their biggest challenges through deep partnerships, ongoing technical support and consistent quality, service and delivery. We are customer driven, solutions focused and fast moving. This focus drives our growth and returns.

3- GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES SUPPORTED BY STRUCTURAL GROWTH TRENDS

Across our premium performance additive businesses, we see over $100m of revenue growth opportunities supported by structural megatrends. In Personal Care, we are well positioned to serve the growth of premium cosmetics in Asia and demand for natural skin care ingredients. In Performance Specialties, our technologies enable the creation of more environmentally friendly industrial coatings and higher performance decorative paints. In addition, the need to reduce vehicle emissions and single use plastic consumption will drive demand for our talc based additives.

4- STRONG CASH GENERATION

Strong cash generation is a hallmark of Elementis. Looking forward, we target operating cash conversion of at least 90% and, supported by our Innovation, Growth and Efficiency priorities, this will facilitate sustained reinvestment for organic growth, financial deleveraging and, in due course, the reinstatement of dividend payments to shareholders. Our medium term financial leverage target is under 1.5x net debt/EBITDA, compared with 2.2x* today, and delivery of this target is anticipated to drive significant shareholder returns.
