LUMIBIRD PRESENTS ITS NEW STRATEGIC PLAN

The LUMIBIRD Group (FR0000038242 - LBIRD), the European leader in laser technologies, presents its new strategic plan at its Capital Market Day. The Group confirms its objectives of an organic compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 8% by 2026, and an EBITDA margin at least 500 basis points higher than in 2023.

The company's growth objective is underpinned by its key positioning in buoyant markets, particularly in Defense/Space, Ophthalmology, Medtech, Environment, Topography and Security. This dynamic is reinforced by an ongoing policy of innovation, enabling Lumibird to offer new products and open up new market segments.

The profitability target is underpinned by the major industrial investments made over the past three years, in areas such as fibre manufacturing (fibre draw tower, France) and laser diodes (France and Italy). This strategy of integration and verticalization is increasing the proportion of components produced in-house.

Increased capacity at the production units in France, Sweden and Slovenia will also enable to plan for future growth. without significant additional investment.

The Group is also continuing to restructure its organization, with a view to supporting business growth while keeping rising costs under control.

This performance should be achieved against a backdrop of a return to a normative level of investment, allowing for improved free cash flow generation.

« The road travelled since Lumibird's creation in 2017 has demonstrated our ability to deliver growth in our markets and offer our customers innovative products. The last 3 years of strong investment should enable us to pursue this strategy of growth and innovation, while improving our financial performance through increased verticalization and an optimized organization. » says Marc Le Flohic, CEO of Lumibird.
