Lonza Group AG on Tuesday provided new midterm financial targets and said it will continue to pay a dividend of 25% to 40% of its net income, but anticipates no extraordinary capital return as it will prioritize investment opportunities.
隆沙集團股份公司週二提供了新的中期財務目標，並表示將繼續支付淨收入的 25％ 至 40％ 的股息，但預計不會產生非凡的資本回報，因為它將優先考慮投資機會。
The Swiss life-sciences company, which is holding its capital-markets day later on Tuesday, said it has updated its 2024 outlook and expects sales at a constant exchange rate to grow in the low teens, while its core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin is projected to be in the range of 33% to 35%.
這家瑞士生命科學公司週二晚些時候持有資本市場日，表示已經更新了 2024 年的前景，並預計在低青少年以固定匯率的銷售額將增長，而除利息，稅收，折舊和攤銷利潤率之前的核心盈利預計將在 33％ 至 35％ 的範圍內。
The company said capital expenditure should reach around 25% of sales this year and will remain elevated until it returns to the high teens by 2025.
該公司表示，資本支出今年應達到銷售額的 25％ 左右，並將繼續提高，直到 2025 年恢復到青少年。
In a presentation released ahead of its capital-markets day, Lonza said the capital distribution to shareholders will be limited as it sees a lot of investment opportunities ahead and foresees "no extraordinary capital return."
在資本市場日之前發布的演講中，龍沙表示，股東的資本分配將受到限制，因為它將看到很多投資機會，並預見「沒有非凡的資本回報」。
