New financial targets from Vattenfall's owner
Vattenfall's owner, the Swedish state, announces new proposed
financial targets for the company. The new targets will be decided
at an extraordinary general meeting on 12 December 2017.
Vattenfall's financial targets relate to profitability, capital
structure and the dividend policy, intending to ensure value
creation and a market rate of return. The current targets were set
in November 2012.
The energy sector transformation has continued since 2012,
whilst electricity prices have remained at historically low levels.
Vattenfall has moreover shifted focus to fossil free energy
production, in line with the new company strategy to power climate
smarter living and becoming fossil free within one generation.
The proposal for new financial targets (current targets within
brackets):
Capital structure:
FFO/adjusted net debt of 22-27 per cent (22-30).
Net debt/equity ratio is removed (50-90 per cent).
Profitability target:
Return on capital employed of 8 per cent (9).
Dividend policy:
The dividend should amount to 40-70 per cent of profit after tax
(40-60).
