Origin Enterprises plc hosts its 2019 Capital Markets Day

Sets out five-year ambition

8 May 2019

Origin Enterprises plc ("Origin" or the "Group"), the agri-services group, is hosting its 2019 Capital Markets Day ("CMD") today at the London Stock Exchange Building in London, UK. The CMD will run from 10:00 BST to 14:00 BST.

The CMD presentation is available on the Investor Relations section of the Origin Enterprises website from 10:00 today. http://www.originenterprises.com/investor-centre/

Over the course of the 2019 Capital Markets Day, the Group will outline its ambition and strategy to grow Group Operating Profit substantially by 2023. Origin will also outline a number of medium-term growth targets which the Group is committed to delivering over the next five years.

Medium term ambition

Given the strength of the Group's balance sheet, Origin is well positioned to capitalise on future growth opportunities and deliver long term sustainable returns to shareholders through a combination of organic growth and selective M&A.

The five-year ambition which will be outlined at the CMD is as follows:

 
 Key performance indicator                      Metric 
 Five-year average organic Operating Profit 
  growth (excluding JVs), constant currency, 
  FY19 to FY23                                  3% to 4% 
                                               ------------ 
 Five-year average total Operating Profit 
  growth (excluding JVs), constant currency, 
  FY19 to FY23                                  5% to 9% 
                                               ------------ 
 Annual return on invested capital              12% to 15% 
                                               ------------ 
 Annual free cash flow conversion ratio         70% to 100% 
                                               ------------

Dividends

Origin intends to resume a progressive dividend policy with a longer-term aim of reducing the payout ratio towards 35%.
