Summary | How we see it
Difficult year behind us… now in right shape for a positive run
► Underlying earnings growth: boosted by investment & cost reduction
► EPS: enhanced through current share buy back activity
► Sustained cash generation
► Potential consolidation activity requires careful balance sheet management
‒ €100m share buy back to complete July 2016‒ Leverage to be maintained around 1.4x in FY17‒ Absent a deal, surplus cash will be returned in FY17‒ Absent a deal, guidance of 2x leverage dividend cover by FY18 unchanged
