Record Results: Synthomer reported a record year in 2021, with sales up 47% to £2.3 billion and EBITDA doubling to £522 million, led by exceptional demand in Performance Elastomers.
NBR Normalization: NBR margins and volumes, which spiked during the pandemic, have now returned to normal levels, with destocking expected to continue into the first half of 2022.
Strategic Acquisitions: The Eastman Adhesive Resins (Adhesive Technologies) and OMNOVA acquisitions were highlighted as transformational, enhancing growth platforms and geographic reach.
Strong Cash Flow & Balance Sheet: Free cash flow more than doubled to £300 million, helping reduce net debt to £114.2 million and leverage to 0.3x EBITDA at year-end, positioning the company well for further investments.
Capital Allocation & Outlook: CapEx is guided to £130 million in 2022, focused on maintaining flexibility and supporting growth, while leverage is expected to rise temporarily to 2.5x post-acquisition and then return to target range (1–2x) within 12–24 months.
Outlook: Management expects a gradual normalization in NBR and continued growth across other divisions, with early signs of margin stabilization and an encouraging start to 2022, especially in margins.
