54 2019 Outlook Outlook: near term delay vs stepped-up targets

Umicore currently expects recurring EBIT for the full year 2019 to be in a range of € 475 million to € 525 million.

Developments in Catalysis and Recycling are positive and both business groups are expected to grow earnings vs 2018.

The Energy & Surface Technologies business group is facing challenging market conditions, resulting in delays of 12 to 18 months in the development of its cathode material sales compared to the stepped-up expectations communicated in 2018. E&ST earnings in 2019 are expected to be below the record levels of 2018.

In 2020 Umicore currently expects significant growth in revenues and earnings but below the stepped-up expectations communicated in 20181.

1Umicore indicated in Febr 2018 that it had identified a potential to exceed its original 2020 earnings ambition of appr. € 500 million for the year 2020 by some 35% to 45%. 56 Key Investment Considerations Key investment considerations
