2019 Performance Review
Substantial Opportunity Ahead
While Agilent has delivered solid business performance over the last five
years, we believe there is substantial opportunity for further improvement
Significant Margin Expansion
■ Management is targeting 50 to 70bps of annual margin expansion over next few years
■ We estimate >800bps margin opportunity based on best-in-class peer
■ Agilent's increasing attach rates on higher margin service contracts and consumables
should be a strong embedded driver of margin expansion over time
Balance Sheet Optionality
Underlevered balance sheet provides capital deployment flexibility
Net debt / EBITDA <1x vs peer average of ~3x
We believe Agilent's current valuation represents a discount to intrinsic value and does
not fully reflect the company's high-quality business model, increasing mix of recurring
revenue, strong long-term growth potential and significant margin expansion opportunity
