Management commentary
•
•
Significant growth in free cash flow,
driven by higher earnings and improved
NWC offset by higher tax payments.
-
NWC reduction at the end of 2022 was
driven by lower freight rates and lower
activity levels. We have also optimised
processes, especially related to the GIL
business.
Gearing ratio will increase as EBITDA
declines in 2023. We maintain our target
of staying below 2.0x.
Weighted average duration of corporate
bonds, committed loans and credit
facilities was 8.3 years at year-end
2022.
ROIC at a very satisfactory 25.1% for
2022 also impacted by the strong
growth in earnings.
