Strategy 2030 financial targets

By 2030, GF targets sales of CHF 4.2–4.5 billion incl. acquisitions, while organically we expect growth of 4-6% per year with the following financial targets:

  • EBITDA margin of 16-18% and EBIT margin of 13-15%
  • FCF / EBITDA conversion ˃50%
  • Return on invested capital (ROIC) of 21-26%

With an estimated capital deployment capacity of CHF 1.8–2.0 billion over 2025–2030, GF will maintain a strong focus on growth investments, while aiming to reduce its net debt-to-EBITDA ratio to around 2.0x and distribute a steadily increasing dividend to its shareholders.
