Success for the company revolves around the ability to generate significant cost savings, which will reduce the impact of heavy capex spend on the transformation plan, and separation costs. Even prior to the transaction, the group generates solid FCF, and hopes to further optimize working capital, estimated to increase cash by up to CHF 136m (€124m) in the next 18 to 24 months. Some execution risk remains, however it’s been well noted that the sponsors have a good track record on spinouts.
