McBride plc (LSE:MCB) signed a binding offer to acquire Eurotab SA from the shareholders for €40 million. McBride plc (LSE:MCB) signed a binding offer to acquire Eurotab SA from the shareholders for €40 million on April 2, 2026. A cash consideration of €40 million (£34.5 million) will be paid by McBride plc, subject to customary closing adjustments. The enterprise value for the Proposed Acquisition is dependent on Eurotab's closing 12 month EBITDA at completion. It is currently anticipated that this will result in an enterprise value of €38.2 million plus a payment of €1.8 million for acquired tax losses. The enterprise value will be subject to customary closing adjustments to determine the final purchase price. The Proposed Acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings per share in the first full year of ownership and will raise overall Group margins, adding approximately 0.5 percentage points to the Group's EBITDA margin, and moving the Group towards the 10% target set at the 2024 Capital Markets Day. The Proposed Acquisition is expected to generate attractive returns well in excess of the Group's cost of capital. The consideration will be financed through the Group's existing banking facilities, with the Group's net debt to EBITDA ratio expected to be slightly above the Capital Markets Day target of 1.5x for approximately one year post completion. The Proposed Acquisition is in line with the Group's growth strategy and is anticipated to further strengthen McBride's position as a leading detergent producer in Europe.
In accordance with applicable French legal requirements, the acceptance of McBride's offer is subject to the completion of information and consultation procedures with the French employees and employee representative bodies of the Eurotab Group. Subject to the completion of those procedures, it is anticipated that the parties will enter into the final sale and purchase documentation. The transaction would also be subject to certain other conditions to completion. The anticipated purchase price represents an underlying EBITDA multiple of 5.2x or 4.6x net of the value of acquired tax losses which the Group expects to use over time. When adjusting for conservative synergies the underlying EBITDA multiple equates to 3.1x. The Proposed Acquisition will close between June 2026 and the end of the first quarter of the Group's 2027 financial year. Annonce • Mar 11
