CMD 2025 summary20 Nov, 2025

Strategic direction and priorities

  • Launched Focus 2030 strategy to become the global leader in cigars by 2030, emphasizing consumer centricity, portfolio simplification, and investment in people, data, and digitalization.

  • Three strategic priorities: stabilize machine-rolled cigars, accelerate handmade cigars, and grow nicotine pouches, with a focus on value chain optimization and market share gains.

  • Portfolio simplification underway, focusing on four power brands in each major category and reducing SKUs by 50% in machine-rolled cigars and smoking tobacco.

  • Investments concentrated in high-growth areas, especially U.S. handmade cigars and European nicotine pouches, with retail expansion and digital transformation as key enablers.

  • Commitment to a more consumer-centric, data-driven, and digitally enabled organization.

Financial guidance and capital allocation

  • Ambition to achieve at least 11% ROIC, low single-digit EBIT CAGR, and DKK 1.2 billion in free cash flow by 2030, with 2025 targets of DKK 9.1-9.2 billion net sales and EBITDA margin of 19.5-20.5%.

  • New payout ratio-based dividend policy (40%-60%), with flexibility based on leverage and performance; share buybacks remain a priority.

  • CapEx expected at DKK 300-400 million annually, with lower investment in 2026 to prioritize deleveraging to 2.5x.

  • DKK 200 million cost improvement program planned, targeting all cost lines, with details to follow.

  • Retail expansion in handmade cigars and growth in nicotine pouches underpin financial targets.

Business developments and operational changes

  • Machine-rolled cigars: focus on stabilizing supply, simplifying portfolio, and regaining 2 percentage points of market share in core European markets.

  • Handmade cigars: aim to grow U.S. market share from 13% to 15% by focusing on four power brands, production optimization, and expanding retail footprint.

  • Nicotine pouches: XQS is the core brand, targeting Sweden and the U.K., with ambitions to reach over DKK 400 million in net sales in 2025 and 20% market share in Sweden by 2030.

  • Ongoing evaluation of insourcing nicotine pouch production, but current focus is on commercial growth and market expansion.

  • Divestments of non-core businesses and continued selective acquisitions planned, with all transactions required to be ROIC enhancing.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
