COMMENTARY
Polygon regularly works with lower working capital than recently acquired companies enabling
synergies through best-practice sharing
Increased capital expenditure in recent years has been offset by the significant increase in EBITDA,
resulting in Free Cash Flow margin having nearly doubled since 2014
When looking at Free Cash Flow before growth capex, the margin has also improved from 2014
