We see management’s actions and the reference to its achievements of the measures made on the portfolio as a bit disconnected. On one hand, Lanxess has great liquidity in a crisis situation since the spin-out from Bayer and, on other hand, it highlighted a more balanced portfolio and lower exposure to the automotive industry. However, it was a smart move to sponge up cash. The Q1 figures came in above our expectations and beat the street’s estimates.
