Earnings Call: H2 2021

May 27, 2021

Good morning, everyone. I'm Martin Dunwoody, the Director of Investor Relations at Johnson Matthey. Welcome to the London Stock Exchange this morning and our full year results presentation. Unfortunately, we don't have a live audience here today, but hopefully, we will be able to see each other soon. We have a presentation followed by Q and A, as usual, with our Chief Executive, Robert MacLeod our Chief Financial Officer, Stephen Oxley and our sector Chief Executives for Clean Air and Efficient Natural Resources, Jen Brackett and Jane Tooogood. And with that, I will hand over to our Chief Executive, Robert MacLeod. Thanks, Martin, and good morning, everybody. And I hope you're all very well. To start with, I'm very pleased that we have today delivered a robust set of results. In the context of a global pandemic, where some of our key end markets saw significant volatility, This is a testament to the efforts of everyone across JM. After a challenging first half, we saw a strong recovery through the second half, and it's pleasing to report that this momentum has continued into the current year. More so than ever, Over the last 12 months, we've worked to support each other, keep everyone across JM safe and well, while continuing to deliver for our customers and driving significant changes across JM, which will enable growth going forward. As the world moves at pace to solve Urgent challenges such as addressing climate change, improving air quality, enabling the transport and energy transitions, Decarbonizing chemicals production and creating a more circular economy, JM has never been more relevant. At our core is our world class expertise in metals chemistry, and we are leveraging that to develop sustainable solutions to solve these challenges. We have clear strategies for our businesses. We will capitalize on tighter legislation in the coming years to grow our Clean Air business. And Joan will also detail the levers we can pull to ensure that we will generate at least £4,000,000,000 of cash in the coming 10 years as Clean Air's markets mature. We're also strongly positioned to win in a net zero world and are well positioned to benefit from the push for decarbonization and increased circularity. This will drive growth in efficient natural resources as well as in battery materials and hydrogen. However, to manage the transition in our end market successfully, Our business needs to be agile to take advantage of the fast changing world around us. That's why we're creating a more focused and efficient business and promoting our high performance culture to set us up for success. This will save costs and drive clear accountabilities. And at the same time, we're actively managing our portfolio to ensure that we focus on businesses where we have clear competitive advantage. Across all of JM, we're really excited to be playing our role in the transitioning to a more sustainable future, helping our Customers achieve their ambitions. We've also recently announced our own new sustainability goals, as I'll explain on the next slide. As you'll see throughout this presentation, we have a growing number of solutions to help achieve our vision of a cleaner, healthier world. But at the same time, we need to be doing our bit by decarbonizing our own operations and supply chains. We've set ourselves some ambitious targets and we've committed to being net 0 by 2,040. Alongside this, we've outlined science based targets, An absolute reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions of at least 33% and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20%, both by 2,030. These will be challenging, but by moving to renewable energy, improving our plant operations to minimize processed greenhouse gases And working with our supply chain partners to reduce their emissions, we can achieve this. And furthermore, through our asset renewal program, We will be reducing our dependence on natural gas by switching to alternative energy sources such as hydrogen as they become available. And it's pleasing to see that our efforts are being increasingly recognized by our stakeholders. And I'll talk more about our strategy shortly, But first, let me hand over to Stephen to introduce himself and give you the financial highlights. Stephen? Thank you, Robert, and good morning, everyone. I joined Johnson Matthey in April, which was straight after year end. So you can imagine it's been a pretty hectic few weeks. But I do know JM well from my time at KPMG when Johnson Mathew was previously a client. And what's great about JM, which is really why I'm here, is not only the opportunity to help transform the company, but also to genuinely provide solutions that will help transition to a more sustainable, greener and healthier world. I'm going to start by looking at my priorities for the company. Firstly, it's ensuring that JM just executes on the basics, doing what we say we'll do, continuing to improve our controls, our systems, delivering efficiencies and improving our cash generation. Secondly, we need to move quickly to commercialize our great science and capture value from it. That means JM being more focused, More discipline in our investments and being more agile and moving at pace to drive growth. And we'll do that with a strong grip on our balance sheet and a clear disciplined allocation of our capital to prioritize investments in growth, both organic and bolt on, and to continue to pay a sustainable dividend, after which we'll consider the return of any excess capital. Let's begin by looking at this year's financial highlights, where we've delivered a robust performance throughout the pandemic. It's been a year or 2 halves. Following a challenging first half, our end markets recovered strongly, particularly for clean air and helped by higher precious metals prices. And our second half operating profit was up 30%. This momentum has continued with a strong exit rate into the current financial year where we're performing well. We're continuing to run our businesses better. Our efficiency initiatives are on track, delivering £66,000,000 in the year, with more to come from our manufacturing footprint. And despite higher precious metals prices, we've delivered significant reductions in working capital and generated improved Free cash flow of £305,000,000 We ended the year with lower net debt at £775,000,000 down by over £300,000,000 from last year. And we proposed a final dividend of 50p per share, making it 70p for the year as a whole. Now let's go into the financials in more detail, starting with sales, which were down 5% over the full year for the group as a whole. The impact of COVID-nineteen was mostly felt in our first half and particularly in Clean Air, where sales were impacted by customer shutdowns and by weaker demand. In the second half, demand recovered strongly with total sales up 11%. And I'll go through sales for each of our sectors in detail shortly. But first, group underlying operating profit that was down 5% for the year. The impact of COVID-nineteen was partially offset by the benefit of higher metal prices. We incurred higher corporate costs that include the impact of bonuses payable this year compared to a very low base for 2020. Again, second half profits were significantly stronger, up 30% year on year with a strong recovery in clean air as well as the benefit of those metal prices. Turning to our sectors in more detail. Our Clean Air business was most affected by the pandemic. We saw demand weaken, and our customers temporarily closed plants, which led to a weaker significantly weaker first half performance. Whilst there's been volatility in demand, we saw a strong recovery in the second half with sales up 16% over the previous half year. And for the year as a whole, sales were down just 7%. In light duty, we outperformed global auto production due to increased value from tire legislation, tighter legislation in Europe, in China and in India. And in heavy duty, The Americas and Europe performed in line with the depressed market, whereas in Asia, we outperformed, benefiting from the value uplift driven by China 6, which is now about 25% of the way through its adoption. Looking at U. S. Heavy duty and the Class 8 truck cycle, where JM is the market leader. We did begin to see that market recover in Q4 with continued strength today. The bars on the right hand side of the chart here show the quarterly progression of Clean Air sales. You can see the full impact of the pandemic at the start of the year with a strong recovery from Q2. The business has had a good start to the current financial year with April showing a strong performance and with continued strength in end market demand. However, we are seeing the auto supply chain struggling with a number of shortages, including microchips, So we do expect some volatility through the course of this year. Overall, Clean Air operating profit was down just 8% year on year. And the work to consolidate our manufacturing footprint is well underway. And with volume recovery, our second half margin of 13.6% is moving back towards pre pandemic levels. In Efficient Natural Resources, sales were broadly flat. The two main drivers here were a strong performance in PGM Services, offset by a weaker performance in Catalyst Technologies. In PGM Services, our refining and trading businesses benefited from higher average PGM prices that made a net contribution of around £80,000,000 as well as benefits from a more volatile price environment. In CT, we saw good sales growth in our first fills business as new hydrogen and ammonia plants came on stream. Recurring catalyst sales were lower. Here, our methanol catalyst business declined in comparison to a strong performance in the prior year with the phasing of customer change outs. And some of our end markets were impacted by weaker demand affected by the pandemic, particularly in formaldehyde and additives. In licensing, sales were also down as we saw delays on new plant builds also because of the pandemic. However, we have a strong pipeline of projects, and we signed 10 new licenses in the year, thereby locking in future catalyst sales. We've also started to recognize our first income from our new technologies, including catalysts used in the production of sustainable jet aviation fuel and from low carbon blue hydrogen projects, both of which point to a really exciting future. Underlying operating profit for the sector grew by 6%, primarily as a result of the metal price benefit in the year. And our margin expanded to 25.4%. Moving now to Health. Despite COVID, sales grew in both our generics and Innovator business. This included sales from our API products pipeline of around £60,000,000 In generics, sales grew 11%, primarily driven by new agreements for the supply of opioid addiction therapies. Our Innovators business grew 3% as we saw increased demand from Gilead, where we supply the active ingredient for TRIDELVY used in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer. In markets in new markets, sales declined 6%. In fuel cells, we continue to see strong demand, with sales up 24% in the year to $41,000,000 Growth was driven by increased demand from our automotive customers, particularly in Asia. Sales to auto customers have now doubled since the prior year and now represent around half of all fuel cell sales. We expect further rapid growth in fuel sales, and Robert will talk further about our recent wins. We also saw sales growth in Life Science Technologies, a business that provides advanced catalysts to the pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals markets. New market sales were offset by lower sales in battery systems and medical device components, which were both impacted by the pandemic. Our sales decline includes the disposal of 2 small non core businesses in the second half. And I've included a note in the results release to say that we're making some small changes to our reporting segments for FY 'twenty two. These will provide you with greater transparency of our new markets, Green Energy businesses and separately, our value businesses, which are noncore as we continue to focus on our growth opportunities. And as we move further down the income statement, finance charges were broadly in line with the prior year. We've worked hard to reduce the amount of metal required within our business, and this is now starting to come through in lower finance costs. The underlying effective tax rate was 16.3%, slightly higher than last year and affected by the mix of profits. Underlying EPS was down 9%, reflecting the lower underlying operating profit. Our reported Our GAAP operating profit was impacted by £171,000,000 of impairment and restructuring charges associated with the initiatives to transform JM into a more effective and efficient company. £91,000,000 of the charge was for noncash asset write downs. The majority of the spend relates to the restructuring of Clean Air and the rationalization of its manufacturing footprint. Our efficiency initiatives are on track. Our active program delivered £37,000,000 of benefit this year, with annualized savings of £110,000,000 expected by the end of fiscal 'twenty four. And these are in addition to the previous program that is now complete. Some of you will know that I have a strong dislike of perpetual exceptional restructuring charges, So only expect these when we announce a major change to our operations. Our balance sheet is strong With net debt to EBITDA of 1.2x, slightly below our target range of 1.5x to 2x. We've delivered this great outcome by further reducing working capital with our refining backlogs now running at historically low levels. Looking at Precious Metal in particular, Our actions reduced backlogs by £581,000,000 before the impact of increased volumes and higher metal prices, leaving us broadly flat for precious metal working capital overall. We've also made good progress with our non precious metal working capital that was down by £196,000,000 although some of this is timing and will reverse. The value of our metal leases, which are held off balance sheet remained flat. So looking at FY 'twenty two. Assuming our end markets remain robust, we expect to deliver low to teens growth in underlying operating performance at both constant currency and assuming constant metals prices. Current exchange rates indicate a headwind of around £25,000,000 to operating profit. And then on metal, we've indicated that should high prices remain, Especially for rhodium and palladium, we would expect a significant additional benefit of up to £120,000,000 Of course, sustained higher metal prices will also result in higher working capital and net debt, which, as Joan will describe in a minute, we are working hard to moderate and limit the impact on our cash flow. And finally, CapEx, where I want to give you some more color. In the coming year, we expect CapEx to be up to GBP 600,000,000 as we continue to invest in our strategic capital projects to drive future growth. These include our continued investment in Battery Materials, which is on track and in line with previous expectations and which Robert will come to in a minute. In Efficient Natural Resources, We're investing in our PGM refineries, both our new refinery at Royston in the UK and the renewal of our asset base to improve the resilience and efficiency of this business and to increase our refining capacity. We're also investing more in hydrogen to take advantage of our leading positions in fuel cells and green hydrogen and the strong growth that we expect in these markets. And with that, I'll hand back to Robert. Thank you, Stephen. So you've seen our performance in the year. Now let's talk about the exciting opportunities that will drive our future growth. As we said before, our vision is for a cleaner, healthier world, not just today, but for future generations. Throughout our history, we have helped to address some of the world's complex challenges. And as the world builds back greener following the pandemic, Our capabilities have never been more relevant. There's an urgent need for more sustainable solutions to address climate change and our technology is central to this. Joan and Jane will shortly talk you through our plans for clean air and efficient natural resources, Strong cash flow generation in clean air and exciting growth in Catalyst Technologies given the move to an awards net 0 world. But in Health, We continue to make progress with our new product pipeline, as Stephen outlined. But although you are aware that we've commenced a strategic review of our health business, and we're doing that now given the compelling range of other opportunities we have across the group. And we have a significant opportunity in both battery materials and hydrogen, as I'll talk to you shortly. And at the heart of all of this is science and complex metal chemistry. So I'll now hand over to Joan and Jane, who will talk through what we're doing in clean air and then Efficient Natural Resources. Joan? Thank you, Robert, and good morning, everyone. It's really great to be here today. What I want to do is to give you some color around how I think about Clean Air and its strategy. Clean Air is a really great business. It's had several decades of good growth and profitability underpinned by very strong social purpose. We see further growth in the coming years from new regulation in China, India, Europe and possibly the Americas. But our market will mature at some point as vehicles electrify. And in a maturing market, you need to be very smart about where you play, How you win and the skills and capabilities you need to manage the maturity curve. You need to think about the market scenarios They could develop and understand that you're and be sure you're agile enough to deliver consistent performance in any of them. When I joined, I spent time with our employees, customers and regulators to really get under the skin of the business. And this has helped us sharpen the strategy. It's not a wholesale change. It's rather a pivot to drive specific focus on where we play, How we win and which skills and capabilities we need to generate the most value for our stakeholders. Our strategy is differentiated depending on the segment, and you can see the rough split of our business from the chart. In diesel, we're the leader. The technology is harder and more complex than it is in gasoline, And this really plays to our strengths. We have strong positions today in both light and heavy duty. The heavy duty market has longevity given that the move to electrification there is harder and further away than it is in passenger cars. Light duty diesel will electrify more quickly. We're focused on retaining our share in both segments, and we will bring specific focus to driving efficiency as they respectively mature. In gasoline, our strategy is to be selective. It's a huge market. It's more competitive And it's also more intensive in terms of working capital. So we're targeting the highest return business In the parts of the market where we know we can be a technology leader or be differentiated in terms of supply or service. It's important to note that Clean Air strategy goes beyond how we win in Clean Air. It's really about how we win across Johnson Mathew, Particularly, how we help build new businesses like fuel cells and battery materials. We've got decades of experience in automotive and longstanding customer relationships. So it's our job to be Johnson Mathew's ambassador to the automotive industry. We open the right doors for fuel cells and battery materials. We get everyone in the room to hold the right conversation, So we can give our customers the best solution as they evolve their powertrains. I won't spend too long on this slide. I want to quickly show you the various market scenarios that we see for powertrain evolution. In the center is our 2,030 base case and to the sides, you'll see scenarios for faster and slower electrification. Versus our last guidance, our base case is updated to reflect recent market developments, including Faster adoption of battery electric vehicles and a decline in the light duty diesel fraction in Europe. You will also note that in the fast electrification scenario, we took a very prudent view of how the market size would look, And we held it at $90,000,000 because we really wanted to pressure test our ability to perform. We've run a model against every scenario, and we're comfortable we know how to pull the right levers in each of the cases outlined So that we deliver consistent cash performance across our scenarios. Now let's have a look at what those levers are. First off, Clean Air will continue to see good profit growth. We will continue to see the overall market size recover in the Coming years. We've also got value uplift coming from China 6 in heavy duty from Euro 6 DF And this gives us top line growth, modest top line growth to the middle of the decade. Post that, we anticipate seeing combustion engines Klein, but we will generate profit growth with China 7 and Euro 7. With a change in administration in the U. S, there is also a good chance we'll see more legislation there. New legislation is a great thing for us because it raises the bar. It means there are challenging technical hurdles to overcome. For example, some of the new legislation being talked about could require an 80% reduction in particulates And an 80% reduction in NOx in the heavy duty diesel segment. Our technology leadership will enable us to capture value as we develop solutions to these new challenges. So we will continue to invest in R and D through the course of the new legislation. As market matures, we'll further increase our focus on driving efficiency and cash flow. We absolutely need to be best in class on costs, and we have a number of levers that we can pull. We're delivering a number of excellence programs and also driving very rigorous management of our overheads in line with our volumes. Our footprint offers exciting opportunities for us. Our newest plans are completely standardized and there are a step change in efficiency versus our old assets. We now have 5 of these world class manufacturing plants, 2 in Europe, 2 in Asia and 1 in America. And this gives us a truly global, efficient yet flexible network, Which can absorb the growth and also offer us consolidation opportunity as our market matures. In fact, we've already started to consolidate some of the older capacity in Europe into our new plants, and we're seeing the benefits. Our final strategic investments are now substantially complete. Our big spend is behind us, which means we target CapEx at around £50,000,000 per annum. And to frame this number for you, We've spent around £135,000,000 per annum over the last 3 years on average. We've also looked really hard at how we manage working capital to support the driving of cash flow. Our new global supply chain team is in place and they're helping us to optimize inventory. We're also resetting customer terms Where needed, so that we appropriately share risk. But it's not these levers in isolation that's important. It's how we manage them across the different scenarios. In the more extreme case where we see faster electrification, We can pull our efficiency levers harder and faster. For example, looking at our network of 16 plants And consolidating it faster to drive out costs more quickly. This gives us confidence that we'll Deliver attractive cash generation, that's more than £4,000,000,000 over the next 10 years under our range of scenarios. Assuming stable metal prices, we expect to deliver this £4,000,000,000 In broadly equal increments, so approximately €400,000,000 per annum. Thank you for listening. And from here, I'm pleased to turn it over to Jane Toogood, who's going to talk to you about the very exciting Opportunities we have in Efficient Natural Resources. So Jane, over to you. Thank you, Joan. So good morning, everyone. Today, I want to tell you why efficient natural COVID-nineteen has been an extraordinary challenge for society as a whole. What we've seen is a step change in the desire to create a more sustainable future for our planet. As the world builds back greener, JM's technology is at the heart of this revolution, and we've seen a huge acceleration in the demand for our sustainable technologies. These are solutions that we already have or are developing, and it's brought forward their adoption by multiple years. This growth builds on our strong foundations and leading positions across the sector. We are the world's leading refiner of Platinum Group Metals And a leading supplier of catalyst and process technology in the chemicals space. We've many decades of experience developing our technology and working together with customers to apply it, building those strong and trusted relationships. And we'll continue to grow from this strong base in areas like methanol and ammonia. As the transition accelerates, Tomorrow's world is going to need new solutions, which will be about decarbonization and circularity, and we'll be Applying our sustainable technologies to enable these as this is at the heart of what we do, and I'll come on to explain our role in both of these. Looking at decarbonization. 1 of the areas we block such as hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, So it's vital in the production of hydrogen, methanol and ammonia, which help to make many of the products we all use every single day. Around 40% of major primary chemicals production come from the Syngas value chain. So this is relevant today and will remain relevant tomorrow. However, these value chains need to be decarbonized. Catalysts in segments such as hydrogen, methanol and ammonia. Importantly, Our feedstocks, our technologies are feedstock agnostic, so we can grow in a decarbonized world. We have deep expertise in fine tuning the process technology and the catalysts to work better with varied feedstocks. Just as importantly, we can adapt the processes in collaboration with our customers to help them decarbonize their production. For example, by improving efficiency, improving and incorporating renewable energy into the processes, Switching to hydrogen fuel with potential pull through for our hydrogen technologies and integrating with carbon capture. In the future net zero world, customers will be producing these chemicals with green feedstocks, Incorporating green hydrogen and using renewable energy, so called e chemicals. For instance, Using green hydrogen to produce green ammonia and other green chemicals. With the growth of the hydrogen economy, Ammonia and methanol will be increasingly important as potential hydrogen carriers, ways to transport green hydrogen between where it's produced and where it's used. Not only can we help customers decarbonize their existing processes, But as they shift to these new paths, we have the technology to enable them. An example of this is the Hari Onu Green Methanol Plant Being built in Chile. Given the increasing desire from our customers to decarbonize and produce chemicals in a sustainable way And that there are hundreds of plants globally in the Syngas value chain using our catalysts and process technologies. We are confidently targeting catalyst technologies to deliver high single digit growth over the medium term. So to summarize, we have the technologies the world needs, And we have the long standing and trusted customer relationships. We are a leader in these areas, and it's at the heart of this transition. We're a leader in circularity. Our Platinum Group Metal Recycling business is the largest globally, And it's more than twice the size of our nearest competitor. We're already playing our part in increasing the recycling of scarce critical materials And reducing carbon intensity. In fact, a gram of recycled platinum group metal contains around 50x less Embedded carbon, the newly mined metal, so it makes sense to reuse and recycle where possible. But PGM recycling is not the only technology of today. It will be critical going forward as many of the sustainable technologies Such as fuel cells and electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen needs scarce metals such as platinum and iridium. Our technologies will enable lower carbon intensity, the security of supply of these scarce but critical materials that our customers need, and it will give them the confidence of knowing that their raw materials come from a sustainable and a reputable source. We'll build upon our existing expertise to help our customers in designing to recycle so that their products are more easily recycled, Promoting further closed loop circularity. We'll also apply our expertise in new settings and are ideally placed to expand into fuel cells recycling And battery materials recycling with lithium, nickel and cobalt. So you've heard today that we are well positioned for a net 0 world, but we are already seeing our technologies beginning to be used today in this transition. And you can see here a few examples of projects already being commercialized. Our leading blue hydrogen technology already has a pipeline of around 15 projects globally, Which has the potential to support our growth with licensing and engineering fees of, say, around £60,000,000 for a blue hydrogen plant, Around twice the size of high net Phase 1 and roughly £5,000,000 of catalyst refills every 3 to 4 years once the plant is running. We're involved in the recent Harouni project being developed in Chile with Siemens and Porsche for e fuels with our technology Enabling the production of e methanol in the process. And you've heard us mention before, our technology is being used in the production of sustainable aviation fuel from waste. We're also actively developing further solutions, and we'll see growth coming from recycling As we expand into with the expected level of growth in the market, supply of locally sourced cathode materials will be in deficit if we look at capacity announced to date. So it's vitally important for the market that we continue to move at pace to address this opportunity. Our customers and supply chain partners tell us about the importance of creating a fully sustainable battery ecosystem, which is what the ultimate consumer is demanding. And we have made good progress on our progress across each of these areas, starting firstly with customers. As we said before, the testing and development timeline for our customers is quite long, and we would expect to be in the full sale testing stage for up to about 2 years. But we're pleased with our progress as we continue to move through the development funnel as we expected. Our materials continue to in 3rd party Wildcat Discovery Technologies. These are positive developments, giving us further and continued confidence in our materials. And in addition to support more advanced testing and customization, we recently opened our 2nd state of the art battery technology center, which is in Oxford. These centers allow us to work with customers more closely, more advanced testing facilities and increased capacity to start construction later this year. This plant, like our plant in Poland, will be powered solely by renewable energy. And to make sure we protect the local environment, It will use an innovative waste treatment solution to treat sodium sulfate, a common byproduct of cathode materials production. And we've also secured the long term sustainable supply of critical materials, including nickel, cobalt and lithium hydroxide, gyrmium related, But the technologies, customers and manufacturing processes for them are very closely aligned to our other Syngas related routes that Jane described. That said, like this year, going forward, we will provide detail of our total sales to the hydrogen market to give you an idea of the scale of our overall hydrogen offering. And we're seeing strong momentum in these businesses and I'll take you through each of these in turn. It's where the clever chemistry is. The membrane in particular helps with durability, a key performance metric for OEMs. But as well as improving performance, we're also working hard on the cost down roadmap. The market is growing really quickly and the outlook is very positive, in line with or potentially even ahead of the guidance that we gave last September in our hydrogen seminar, namely a catalyst coated membrane market in 2,030 of around £1,000,000,000 or more than £10,000,000,000 per annum in 2,040. On the customer front, we're working with many of the leading fuel cell players, including Doosan, as well as Refire and Sinu FuelCell, the only 2 Chinese government approved system integrators. And most recently, we signed a development agreement and a long term supply agreement commencing in 2022 with a major German automotive supplier for the supply of next generation catalyst coated membranes into the global automotive market. The customers that I've mentioned are all system integrators or stack manufacturers. And as such, they will be targeting more than 1 OEM each, giving us access to a wide number of potential downstream customers and ultimately demand. But having said that, of course, we're also working with a number of OEMs directly as well. So we're seeing lots of activity in the market, and this is evident from our strong customer pipeline, which includes around 10 major truck and automotive OEM platforms due to launch from 2022 to 2025. And to support this demand, we've doubled our capacity in the year to around 2 gigawatts across the U. K. And China. And given the opportunities ahead of us, We're already planning major expansion beyond this. So we're well on track to delivering a business that will have sales of around £200,000,000 by 2020 this year in our green hydrogen business. That's being the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water using renewable energy. Our focus is on the development and manufacture of catalyst coated membranes for PEM electrolyzers. We've been testing our products with a number of the leading electrolyzer manufacturers with very good feedback on our performance. And we're seeing that paying off already with one of these players, with the recently signing of a memorandum of understanding with Plug Power for the supply of key components across the value chain for the production of green hydrogen. And we are delighted to be collaborating with Plug Power, one of the leading players in the hydrogen market globally and look forward to working together as we accelerate the commercialization of this technology. And with our existing manufacturing capacity here in the UK, we can already work on world scale projects. And we can rapidly scale up to multi gigawatt capacity as demand increases. This is exciting progress, and we anticipate 1st commercial sales from this business in 2022. In Blue Hydrogen, you've already heard from Jane where we are, further advanced. And so as you can see, things are coming along well in our hydrogen business. We have a significant opportunity over the next decade as this market comes towards us. And given our leading technology and customer traction, we're strongly positioned to benefit. So taken together Across our hydrogen offerings, we would expect to grow from the $100,000,000 of sales that we have today to at least $300,000,000 by 2025 or up to $500,000,000 if the market moves forward more quickly, which it well could. So before we move to Q and A, let me wrap up. In a world that's moving to a more sustainable future with net zero at its core, JM has never been more relevant given our strong portfolio of sustainable solutions. And at the same time, we set ourselves our own new ambitious sustainability targets. We have a multitude of growth opportunities in the short, medium and long term. We're continuing to focus our portfolio to concentrate on these exciting growth opportunities, and we're investing at pace. We delivered a robust performance with good cash generation in the last And looking forward, this year has started well, supported by strong momentum in our key markets that have continued to recover well. And as you've heard today, this means we expect to deliver low to mid teens underlying operating performance this year before taking account of the benefit of higher current metal prices. At least £4,000,000,000 of cash from clean air in the coming 10 years. High single digit growth in Catalyst Technologies in the medium term, all alongside our longer term growth opportunities to scale up our hydrogen and battery materials businesses. So that concludes our presentation. Thank you very much for your time listening. And with that, we'll be very happy to take your questions. We have the first question from the line of Tom Rickettsworth from Citi. Can we turn the volume up a little bit? It's hard to hear. Yes. The first question is from the line of Tom Riggersworth from Citi. Please go ahead. That's much better. Thank you. Tom, good morning. Good morning, Robert and team. Thank you very much for the presentation. Three questions, if I may. Firstly, you've given us your CapEx assumptions for your £4,000,000,000 of cash flow generation from Clean Air. But I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit further about the assumptions on the shape of the market over that 10 year period, Just so we can kind of get some barometer of the conservatism of the assumptions made. Second question, if I may, A little bit more near term focus, we can see that ENR lost £84,000,000 of sales largely due to the COVID. Does that Recover rapidly into the FY 'twenty one, 'twenty two and do you then grow on top of that £84,000,000 in that timeframe. And my third question is, you clearly state Wildcat Technologies has validated your ELNO. But could you just elaborate for us as to what that means? Is there approval? Does that Is that prerequisite for some customers? Does that give you access to a broader market, plus maybe without having about Wildcat Technologies approval. Thank you. Thank you, Tom. So look, we'll go through those three questions. And I'll And the first one, Joan, if I may, just a little bit more color around the scenarios. Yes, absolutely, Tom. Great question and thank you. So look, the way I think about the $400,000,000 the $400,000,000 or the $4,000,000,000 was an at lease number, and it's a number we feel we can achieve Across the range of the scenarios that we laid out on the slide. So if I think about the most aggressive, which is fast electrification, We're assuming a market in light duty of $90,000,000 whereas the center cut view of the market at that point in time would be North of 100, maybe 110. We're assuming LDD comes down to 5% in Europe. And what that means is Light duty diesel passenger cars essentially are gone, and that 5% really represents export from Europe to other markets where LDD is Probably still relevant. Battery electric vehicles at 40% is a very aggressive assumption. The center cut of the market is somewhere more like 20% or 25. So I think our at least 400 is pressure tested against that faster electrification scenario, which is Prudent upon prudent upon prudent. And when I think about the shape of the market, when you look at all the information that's out there, Talks with our customers, etcetera, people, the center cut would be more the scenario that we've modeled at the base case, and you can see the numbers They are on the chart. So I hope that's the color you were looking for, Tom. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks, Joan. Jane, near term on Catalyst Technologies, do you want to answer Tom's question there? Thank you, Tom. So I think the question was a little bit To ENR, actually, in the near term in total. And of course, we don't give guidance at the sector level. I think we've covered that at the group level. But the markets have been recovering at different rates. I think if you look back at last year, of course, what we saw was that the PGM Services business continued working throughout the pandemic, and we actually continued our plants running, and we saw Good demand for those metals through the year. We expect that to continue. And with the Catalyst Technologies, of course, we did have the hit from the pandemic, and we would expect to see That's come back, but it does vary, of course, by location and by, of course, the sorts of technologies that are there. So I think we would expect it to come back quite quickly. And lastly, on Wildcat Technologies, no, it's not a prerequisite To get any sort of approval or validation by Wildcat Technologies. It's just another independent outfit, who test lots of other companies' competitors' materials. And so it's for us to benchmark our materials versus others. The testing that really matters is the testing that happens within with our customers, the OEMs and the cell manufacturers, which is separate from Wildcat, although sometimes some OEMs do use Wildcat Technologies as well to do some of their testing. So it's really further validation of our materials and how we are benchmarking versus our competitors. Thank you for your question. We have another question from the line of Andrew Scott from UBS. Please go ahead. Yes. Good morning, everybody. Andrew Stock, UBS. So a couple of questions. The first one is going back to the €4,000,000,000 Cash flow guidance. And here, please, Joan, correct me if I'm wrong on the maths. But If I'm assuming your cash flow guidance is ex tax, ex group interest costs, it sort of implies a run rate of high 400s for EBITDA for Clean air for the long term. And that's about $50,000,000 higher than you were doing pre COVID. So on the face of it, that looks ambitious. And I'm just interested in some of the levers you mentioned, market share in gasoline, The value uplift, for example, from Euro 7 and of course, cost savings. I'm interested in the Weighting or the pecking order of those levers, what do you see as the most important factor in lifting your long term EBITDA From pre COVID. And again, I'm happy to be corrected on the basic maths. That's the first question. 2nd question is a bit more straightforward, Probably one for Stephen. So you've released GBP 1,700,000,000 through payables in the last 2 years. You've effectively had a cash cost of $1,000,000,000 of receivables, so it's an impressive $700,000,000 net. How do you see that net developing Over the course of the next 12 to 24 months. Thank you. Okay, Andrew. Thanks very much indeed for your questions. Joan, do you want to have a go at the clean air question around cash flow and the levers? Yes, I'm happy to do it. Let me start With the levers that we have in front of us, the most lucrative lever is the footprint consolidation. We feel Very good about that. We have 16 plants. Of those 16 plants, 11 of them are older, less efficient assets and 5 of them are very new, very standard assets. And our new assets are not an order of magnitude better than our old assets, but they're multiples better. So you can do the math on that and think every time we consolidate down our smaller plants into our bigger ones, we're in a much, much better place. So That's very attractive. Overhead, supply chain, all these things, those are all degrees of increments, but we feel very comfortable that Collectively, our efficiency programs will give us a good chunk of money. We have no doubt about that. And the value uplift is We feel very strongly it's there. The world needs another round of legislations. We feel comfortable we'll see something in Europe, China, etcetera. And if you look at what China 6 did for us or what India 6 did for us, it was a multiple of the number of parts in the car, the bricks in And it really did raise the overall profit and the value of the business for us. Look, I we may need to take the maths offline because I'm not I entirely followed and Robert can jump in and help me here. But the way I think about the math is, we're spending About $85,000,000 less in capital per year going forward than we had the 3 years prior. We're working Super hard on working capital and inventory. So at stable metal prices, you'd give yourself back $50 or more there. And so your underlying profit number, plus the 50,000,000 plus the 85,000,000 we feel very comfortably, easily gets us To $400,000,000 So that's how I've thought about it. And if that's not clear, we're happy to follow-up with Martin later. Yes, I think that was clear for me, Joan. I hope it was clear for you, Andrew. But I think rather than going through the maths now, it'd probably be better A follow-up with IR later, if that's all right. So on the working capital, thank you. Yes, I think it's a really impressive performance over the last few years. And in fact, we came in with a lower net debt number than we were expecting by a little way. And that, of course, is After absorbing a whole bunch of higher metal prices that came through, particularly in the second half of the year. So how have we done that? We've talked about the backlog reduction in our refineries, and we've talked about precious metal working capital in Joan Business in Clean Air Also being managed really tightly. And on the non precious metal, you've seen that come down a little bit, and we'd hope to maintain at least some of that. So look, I'm confident that we can maintain the current position. We're not going to let go on that discipline at all. I think we will see a tick up a little bit as a result of the higher metals prices. But of course, we'll work hard, as we've described, to mitigate as much of that as we possibly can. And I think it's clear as well, just to build on that, is with our backlogs In our refineries now at historically low levels, we are not as exposed to the swings in metal prices As we once were maybe a couple of years ago when we had significant backlogs, these higher metal prices would have had a Really significant impact on our working capital. But of course, with backlogs levels much, much, much, much lower, then we're much more robust. Thank you very much. Thanks, Andrew. Thank you for your question. We have the next question from the line of Jarek Bominay from Jefferies. Please go ahead. Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? We can now, yes. Okay, perfect. Thank you for having me on the call. I've got a couple of questions. Perhaps starting with Blue Hydrogen, I understand that you're going to hit your first revenues on the 2 projects, the Hynix and the other one. May I ask What proportion these revenues accounted for the $100,000,000 of total hydro revenues you generated this year? And what contributions should we expect from these 2 projects specifically in 2022? And also when this could be completed? I understand you also have 15 projects in the pipeline. When could you expect I'd suggest by the next set of awards. And maybe on fuel cells, just a quick one. I understand that the bulk of your revenues are generated in China, you already have your fuel cells running in trucks and buses there. Where could we see fuel cells included in vehicles outside of China in Europe and the U. S. Thank you. Fine. Thank you very much for your question. I'm afraid I don't think we're going to give much help for you on blue hydrogen. But Jane, maybe you want to give a little bit of color, but we don't want to go into getting into much detail on every individual project. No. And I apologize because I couldn't hear the very beginning of that. So if you can help me with I can I've got all the piece about the different projects, but perhaps let me just give you a picture about Blue Hydrogen. It's a really interesting time, of course, in the hydrogen market. And blue hydrogen is an essential part of the solution in terms of technology, just as green hydrogen is. We are going to need both of these technologies if we're going to decarbonize in the future. And we're seeing a real uptick in interest, as I described earlier. We have 15 projects in the pipeline. They're at early stages, and this is consistent with what you'll be reading about as you're reading IEA reports and so on. But we're working in those stages. We're at the stage where we usually work extremely closely and confidentially with customers To tailor what they need to really suit the project. And so for that reason, I won't give you any further details about it. I did mention, of course, both the Hynet and Acorn projects, where we've seen some of those first revenues. And they are, again, at an early stage, but There's information about those available. And what we need now are these projects to move to FID so that the world can decarbonize. And I did hear the first question the first part of the question. Look, the we give you the fuel cells component, £40,000,000 of the £100,000,000 The lion's share of the other component is on grey hydrogen. It's catalysts into the grey hydrogen market because as Jane just said, The blue hydrogen market is very, very early stages. We'd expect it to grow rapidly, but it does require, as Jane said, these projects to actually get approved. And it's still fairly early days in the blue hydrogen market. But the grey hydrogen renewal of catalysts will remain and keep going. On fuel cells, yes, we are selling into the Chinese market today. Significant The majority of our sales to the automotive market are into China. We would expect to see that continue to grow over the next few years. I think outside of China, there's a lot of activity in Europe and North America, But it's probably a few years away before you start to see meaningful sales growth here because you've got to develop the whole infrastructure, not just Making a truck or making a bus, you've got to have the hydrogen fuel cell sort of fueling systems as well. So a little bit of time to wait, I think, before we're going to see much growth here in Europe and America. But in the meantime, I think very significant opportunities, particularly in China and other parts of Asia. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your question. We have the next question from the line of Alex Stewart from Barclays. Please go ahead. Hi there. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Can I ask one on ELNO, which you don't talk about so much more? You Jema has always talked about cathode manufacturing being high fixed costs, Operation, even before I know plenty of other people talk about the same thing. You've also talked about wanting to get to 70,000 to 80,000 tonnes of scale in order to get the kind of returns that you were aiming for cathodes. So with all that in mind, Could you just explain the rationale for splitting the 40,000 tonne project into 2 different sites, which presumably come with twice the fixed cost loading. It strikes me that a high fixed cost initiative should aggregate around a fewer number of sites rather than vice versa. I think I got your question. It was really hard to hear you, but I think your It was really around 2 different sites rather than one site. Look, I think There are sometimes efficiencies about having one single site, but of course there are significant risks of 1 single site Because of course then you run the risk of having all your production in one site, which of course the OEMs would be slightly nervous of if something went wrong on a particular site. So I think as you grow this business, you'd always expect to see a number of different manufacturing plants. Now where we are at the moment is as the market has moved forward and as we're developing the market, what's very clear is having That's the sustainable battery ecosystem is absolutely vital. And access to those critical raw materials in Finland It's very attractive to us, and that's why we're going there for our 2nd plant. The diseconomies of having 2 plants Are not material in the whole grand scheme of the overall capital investment. So it's not something I would particularly worry about. Thank you. Thank you, Alex. Thank you for your question. We have the next question from the line of Nicola Tang from Exane BNP Paribas. Please go ahead. Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. Firstly, on CapEx, thanks for the guidance for this year. Could you talk a little bit more about The direction of CapEx for the next few years, when does the spending on ELNO peak? How do we think about The investments in fuel cells from here. And do you need additional CapEx to achieve your net zero Targets on the midterm. And then the second question was just on the health review. Could you just provide a little bit more context about Why now? And what kind of options you're exploring? And on those other value businesses, which you're now calling non core. Are those businesses that you will proactively try to exit from here? Thanks. So I'll answer the second question first, and then Stephen, you can answer the CapEx question. I mean, look, we're not going to really talk go into too much detail about the health It's ongoing. And as I said when I spoke, it's why now is because we've got a tremendous number of very exciting growth opportunities, and we want to make sure that we are really clear on the areas that we're going to focus on for growth. And that's why we're doing a review of the Health business. On the Values businesses, we're very clear again, they're non core, but that's all we're going to say at this stage. Okay. And on CapEx, Beyond this coming year, I guess it's fair to say that there are a number of variables in phasing. And therefore, I would expect a number that is at least £600,000,000 for FY 2023. What maybe I'll do is give you a sort of feel for some of the sort of the Sort of buckets, if you like, in that as they affect this year. And we said this year will be sort of £600,000,000 And there's really three areas of growth that we're looking at that I mentioned. It's the investment in battery materials that Robert's talked about, and we've talked about the timing of the opening of the 2 plants both in Finland and Poland, and therefore, you have a feel for that. The second area is really hydrogen, which we're really excited about. And that's both fuel cells and green hydrogen. The CapEx in this coming year is actually reasonably small, but we'd look to accelerate that rapidly. Don't forget that's a high return on investment business, and it's a modular to agree of CapEx. So we'll accelerate that over the coming years. And then lastly, it's the refineries, where we're looking both to Put down new capacity, particularly in the UK and China, but also to spend money to build the resilience and the efficiency of those businesses that releases working capital and enables us to run those businesses harder. So that gives you a feel. And of the 600,000,000, I'd say that about 2 thirds Support future growth. And the third is what I'd call the maintenance CapEx, just essentially keeping the lights on. So that gives you, I think, a feel for this coming year, and then you can sort of extrapolate some of that forward. Thanks, Stephen. And just to give you an answer on the The net zero, I mean, we can't achieve net zero without spending some CapEx, but all the new plants that we're putting in place will obviously and all the growth that as Stephen has talked about. We'll have net zero embedded and all the sort of targets embedded into those investments at the start. I need an element of retrofitting of things on our existing facilities, but the whole scheme of CapEx for those is relatively modest and we'll be phased over the next few years. Okay, makes sense. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question came from the line of Jean Baptiste Rolland from Bank of America. Please go ahead. Hi, good morning. Thank you for taking my question. I have three questions. The first one on Clean Air. Do you see any upside to your BEV penetration base case of 30%, which you're showing on Slide 23? Looking at the strategy days from Volkswagen and Daimler, it feels like targets are moving towards 60% penetration, both in the Cars and the Truck segment. So I was interested if you could elaborate on that point. Second question around the metal prices profit uplift. The €120,000,000 number It feels a little bit high in the context of, for example, the profits that you realized in full year 'twenty in fiscal year 'twenty. Has there been a significant change in the palladium, platinum and rhodium white that you previously provided for your metal basket? And Massey, just a housekeeping question on your in EBIT bridge, I think you've got 73,000,000 of cost saving left to realize over the next 3 years. I just wanted to make sure, should we assume that these will be broadly split Evenly across over that period. Thank you. Okay. Jonathan, please thank you very much for your questions. Shall we start just go through the order and I'm going to hand these all through these questions over actually. So I'll start with you, Joan, on your EV chart and VW and Daimler. Nice to hand them all over. Okay. Hi, John Baptiste. Good morning. Great question. And I watched the Daimler thing with interest Over the weekend and paid attention to all the customer report outs. Look, my view on it is, I think everyone in the industry, no one can predict the future, Right. We all have different pressure testing scenarios, but we're all trying to make sure that we're prepared for the shift, Whether it goes faster or slower, and we all have different numbers in terms of how we pressure test. When I think about our base Our base case is very much in line with government programs to put in infrastructure. It's very much in line with things like the European Commission Mobility report. And so it does seem to be the middle of where industry thinks it's going to move. And our faster electrification was The equivalent of Daimler's 60% number, it was our pressure test for our P and L of how tough it could get for us. And when you look at LDD, it's 40 some odd, 42% of our business now and we've it's 30% as a fraction today and we've cut it to 5. We've cut it to 5. And we've held a market at $90,000,000 The market today is at $84,000,000 So holding it at 90 In the timeframe that we've outlined is in a very aggressive way to think about it. So I think we're all doing the same thing. I don't think our approach It is any different. It's just that people pressure test their portfolio and their P and L in the way that best suits them. So I feel very good. Our 400 is an at lease number. We get there even in this difficult, faster electrification scenario. And our Customers' pressure test may look slightly different and that's good for them, but we feel very comfortable that our scenario is prudent upon prudent upon prudent and We're prepared to deliver in that scenario. Thanks, Joanne. And the next question, Stephen, on metal prices and then the EBIT bridge, The cost savings. Yes, I'll pick up both of those. So on metal, look, we're in a Volatile and high price environment. And really, that's why we've split the guidance this year to pull out the underlying and then highlight the additional metal benefit. So we've said £120,000,000 net. That number is moving around actually, and we've provided in the back of the deck the current prices. But to give you an illustration, I mean, the rhodium price has dropped 20% in the last 3 weeks. So that's probably why it's slightly lower than you were expecting. So to Let's be clear, there's been no change in our palladium, rhodium basket. That hasn't changed. The mix changed. The mix changed. No. And as we go through the course of this year, obviously, we'll update you on the price impact in those underlying results. So on the EBIT We've delivered and this is the 2nd program. It's an addition to the 1st program. We've delivered £37,000,000 of efficiency Benefit this year, that will reach £110,000,000 by the end of fiscal 2024. I'd assume that, that sort of phases evenly across that period. Worth saying, of course, that you might not necessarily just see that drop straight through. There are all sorts of Costs in the business, so we'll have cost inflation. We may have some price deflation. But it's clearly providing that overall benefit. Okay. Understood. Can I just follow-up on your last point, Stephen, in relation to Because if I do the math and I take the 4 sorry, €504,000,000 that you just printed and take assume for the sake of the argument, A 15% growth underlyingly, that brings me to €580,000,000 And if I assume that you've got €24,000,000 of cost savings That you're going to print then that essentially means that Excluding the cost savings, you've got an incremental profit growth organic, Excluding cost savings, which is about 9%? So it shows that in that guidance, you're essentially saying that you expect to recover roughly Exactly what you lost last year in organic profit, if I'm not wrong. And so my question then is, Why aren't you expecting more given the volumes and the pricing uplift from which you're benefiting in clean air in that In those in the coming year? Thank you. Yes. So look, you take the 504 and then add the low to mid teens on top. That brings you about to what you said maybe a little bit less. Then there is the benefit of the additional amount, but I said that's offset, to a certain extent, by other costs that are coming through. So look, I would say, Jean Baptiste, these are growth costs. So we're investing more in hydrogen, in the fuel cell business, in the green hydrogen business. We're investing more in battery materials. Those are P and L costs. And so when we're giving you the number, which we're talking about low to mid teens, That is a, not surprisingly, a number for the whole group, which includes strong recovery in clean air because, of course, we're not going to have the downturn that we had in the first half of the year we just reported. Recovery of Bidding Catalyst Technologies, as Jane's already talked about, But we're also putting additional investment into our new growth areas, as I mentioned, particularly hydrogen and battery materials. And that's partly offsetting the cost benefits that you're getting. So it's an overall number. The cost savings are in there, But also, you've got to look at the investment costs that are going in as well. Okay, clear. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your question. We have the next question from the line of Keita Nadeshi from JPMorgan. Please go ahead. Hi, Chastity. Yes. Hi. Hi, morning. Good morning. First question was just follow-up on the previous question, but slightly different on guidance. But slightly different on guidance. If I just look at your second half group EBIT, it was 353,000,000 I appreciate there is some seasonality that second half is typically higher than first half. But I mean just Annualizing that C. $50,000,000 EBIT, so why is the guidance so low when I think about the Low to mid teens growth ex the PJM versus what the second half run rate implies. Is there something you think within second half last year, Which is not sustainable. That's the first question. Second question was, I'm just curious of How the last 5, 6 days of rhodium price moderation of almost 20% has impacted that PGM Earnings uplift. So in other words, you are talking about $120,000,000 at yesterday's pricing. What that number would have been as of last week's prices, so we know the kind of sensitivity that we should be aware about. Thanks. Okay. I'm going to ask Stephen to answer the first question, but I'm afraid we're not going to give you the answer So, after the second question in the micro detail, but it would be tens of 1,000,000 higher, but I'm not going to give you the precise number. But it's not 20% reduction in radium is quite a significant impact. So going to the On the first question, Chetan. I mean, you can't take the second half and double it, essentially. There are a whole bunch of moving parts in there, including some stock builds, some seasonality. So you just can't do that. I'll give you a bit of color, though. So the business that's, I guess, has got the most Clean exit rate is Clean Air. So we clearly saw a strong second half. There is seasonality in there. But I think if you took the exit rate on Clean Air and doubled that and then knocked off a little bit, You're not going to be a 1,000,000 miles off, but beyond clean air, there are a lot of sort of moving parts in there. Understood. And can I just just follow-up on corporate line? How are you guys thinking about corporate line this year? Because we saw a sharp increase last Yes. It would be also good to understand what actually is within the corporate line, which is rising so much. Thank you. Do you want to take that one again? Yes. So yes, I mean, the number was up, as I explained, but that was up really just because of the re inclusion, if you like, inclusion The bonuses that obviously weren't there last year. There may be a little bit of build on corporate costs above that this year, That isn't going to be much. And if I think if I look back over time, there has been an increase in corporate cost. But I think what that does is offset costs that are in the business as we look to take activity across the whole organization. So for example, We are investing or spending money on something like procurement at the center that drives underlying benefit and margin improvement across the business. Understood. Thank you. And I think going back to your question about the second half doubling and all that sort of stuff, and as Stephen said, I think There's a series of moving parts. Why don't you have a separate word with IR afterwards and they can go into a bit more detail to But I do think you've got to remember that you had very high metal prices in the last quarter, you had very strong demand in the last quarter. So that's and when we talked about the outlook for next year or the year we're now in, we talked about on average prices for the year. So of course, the Q4, particularly the second half, had higher than average prices. The first half had lower than average prices. And our guidance It's based on the average for the whole year. So that's one of the reasons, but I'll let the IR team go into a bit more detail with you. I have to say, I think our growth rates are going forward do reflect the recovery in the markets and the investments that we're making. So thanks, Chetan, for your question. Thank you for your question. We have the next question from Rob Pace from Morningstar. Please go ahead. Good morning. Yes. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. I had a A couple on Efficient Natural Resources. First one, the licensing business seems to have come back to life this year. So Curious if you have a comment kind of what's changed in the market environment there? And second one on the strategy update, did I don't see much on the catalyst technologies for oil and gas. So any comments on strategic plans for that business? Jane, Fish and Natural Resources, good questions for you, I think. The licensing business, what's changed? And What's going on in Oil and Gas? Thank you. Thanks for your question, Rob. So the licensing business, I think as we described last year, of course, some projects Coming in. So we had 10 licenses that we signed last year. And I've talked already about the pipeline coming on blue hydrogen. So I think there's a very positive sentiment here in terms of our licensing business going forward. For the strategy comment and the whole piece around the Catalyst Technologies and the Oil and Refining Additives, Well, naturally, of course, the oil and refining business, I mean, oil refining business, not PGM Refining, Of course, that was an area that also saw great volatility during last year, and this wasn't excluded in our own business. So we also saw some volatility there. As those businesses recover, then, of course, we'd expect to see that to come back as well. And so we're watching closely the evolution of that. And I think in some ways, there's licensing. Some of the wins come this year because people now have confidence. They've got confidence they can see light at the end of the COVID tunnel. And so they're prepared to think longer term and start investing. So I think part of the reason why What has changed is that sort of people are more confident to start investing in the next wave of capital investments? Thank you. Thanks so much. Any other questions? It's a bit difficult to know on We don't have any other questions, sir. Well, look, that's a good set of questions.
