Strategy and targets

Our strategy – Operational Excellence

A decision was taken in 2017 to restructure Eltel in order to focus on areas with a balanced risk level in which it has a leading market position and a high level of expertise, and in which the business model is repetitive and primarily targeted towards service and maintenance. Work to discontinue remaining non-strategic operations is expected to be completed in 2020.

In parallel, a strategy for existing operations has been developed, with a focus on operating profitability. The strategy, which will be implemented in 2019-2021, aims to raise the operating margin by generating customer focus, improving efficiency, measuring and tracking relevant key performance indicators, and simplifying the daily operations of our technicians. Furthermore, the focus is on improving the competence level within the organisation through various forms of training and recruitment.

This will create the foundation for sustainable growth, profitability and shareholder value.

Medium to long-term financial targets

Target
Annual growth 2–4%
EBITA-margin 5%
Cash conversion¹ 95–100% of EBITA
Leverage² 1.5–2.5x net debt/EBITDA

1) Cash conversion is calculated as operative cash flow as a percentage of EBITA. Operative cash flow is calculated as the sum of (a) operating profit before acquisition-related amortisation (EBITA), (b) depreciation and (c) change in net working capital, less (d) net acquisition of properties, plant and equipment (CAPEX).

2) Net debt / EBITDA is calculated as net debt, which is defined as interest-bearing debt consisting of short-term and long-term liabilities less cash and cash equivalents, in relation to EBITDA.
