CAPITAL MARKETS DAY
Tate & Lyle, a global provider of ingredients and solutions
to food, beverage and industrial markets, will over the next two
days update investors on its strategic progress at its Capital
Markets Day in Hoffman Estates, Illinois and Lafayette, Indiana.
The Capital Markets Day will highlight:
-- Focused business delivering strong performance over the last three
years
-- Programmes underway to accelerate business performance: 'Sharpen,
Accelerate, Simplify'
-- Delivery of US$100m productivity benefits over 4 years
-- Growth expected to accelerate over time
It will confirm that the Group's outlook for the year ending 31
March 2019, as communicated on 24 May 2018, is unchanged, being
that growth in earnings per share1 in constant currency is expected
to be in a mid-single digit range, albeit towards the lower end due
to energy and transport cost inflation in North America and a
strong year of Commodities performance in fiscal 2018.
Nick Hampton, Chief Executive, said:
"Tate & Lyle has a strong value proposition anchored in our
ability to help our customers take sugar, calories and fat out of
food, and in the strength of our North American Primary Products
business. We work with our customers to help consumers across the
world make healthier and tastier choices when they eat and
drink.
By focusing on our three priorities of 'Sharpen, Accelerate,
Simplify' we believe we can realise the growth potential of our
business and, over time, grow earnings per share, improve organic
return on capital employed, and deliver strong cash generation to
support our progressive dividend policy.
We have a clear direction, a strong financial position and a new
leadership team which is driving greater pace and a dynamic culture
of partnership, agility and execution across the business."
Outline of the event
The Group will reaffirm its commitment: to growing its Food
& Beverage Solutions business driving revenue growth and margin
accretion; to manage its Sucralose business for cash; and in
Primary Products to optimise product mix to underpin stable
earnings and cash flow delivery. It will also provide more details
and insight into its three programmes to accelerate business
performance:
-- Sharpen our focus on our customers where our new category-led
approach increasingly enables us to work with our customers
more
closely and provide solutions in their key consumer
categories.
-- Accelerate portfolio development by delivering greater pace of
new product development, increasing our focus on external
partnerships
and alliances, and taking a more active approach to
acquisitions.
-- Deliver greater productivity by simplifying the business and
the way we work to generate US$100m in productivity benefits
over four
years. Examples of productivity initiatives will be illustrated
during
the tour of our corn wet mill in Lafayette, Indiana.
The new leadership team, with its diversity of experience and
knowledge, has the capabilities and commitment to deliver on these
priorities, and deliver earnings growth over time.
Presentation materials together with an audio recording will be
available on the Company's website at
www.tateandlyle.com/investors-hub shortly after the event.
