In the course of executing its strategic agenda, Evonik will optimize its global processes and cost structures in administration and sales. The aim is to permanently save €200 million per year, which will be fully reflected in earnings as of 2021.
 
“We want to build a best-in-class specialty chemicals company,” said Christian Kullmann, chairman of the Executive Board. “That also requires bringing our costs in line with our aspiration.” Cost savings are to be achieved in the management holding, the four segments and the regions, and will make a contribution to reaching the target EBITDA margin of 18% to 20%.
 
For the year 2018, Evonik already has identified savings measures of €50 million, which will permanently relieve the overall cost base. 
 
“In light of our free cash flow generation, our efforts in 2018 will initially concentrate on measures, which can be implemented quickly and will not cause major one-off costs,” explained Ute Wolf, CFO of Evonik.
