Jarden Reportedly Tapped for Incitec Pivot Fertiliser Sale Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX:IPL)'s freshly appointed management has brought in a new investment bank to handle the sale of the distribution arm of its fertiliser business as looks to clear the decks and focus on its future as a mining explosives play. The move to break up the fertiliser unit and sell off the distribution arm was first flagged by DataRoom and announced when the company delivered its annual result on 11 November 2024. It came as the company wiped $941 million off the valuation of the Australian Incitec Pivot fertiliser division. The bank being added to the ticket is Jarden. The move comes as new boss Mauro Neves de Moraes takes over. UBS and Macquarie Capital have previously made efforts to sell the fertiliser business and Macquarie still has a role. This time, though, it appears that the group is motivated to move it off its books and look to a future focused on its more successful commercial explosives operation Dyno Nobel, so it is expected to take a realistic approach to price. Former Incitec Pivot management held out for top dollar when trying to sell its fertiliser unit twice before, and opposed a business break-up. Most buyers were keen to buy the distribution arm and few were interested in taking on the more problematic manufacturing operation. But now, with distribution available separately, the sale process is likely to involve plenty of competitive tension. Australian listed trade buyers like Elders Limited (ASX:ELD) and Ridley Corporation Limited (ASX:RIC) and global strategics like The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS), CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CF) and Nutrien Ltd. (TSX:NTR), which has a major Australian presence, will be going head to head with private equity firms like Pacific Equity Partners and BGH Capital, which have been sounded out by investment bankers in recent months. It's clear the market is in favour of the decision, with shares closing higher, despite a thumping $311 million loss and an overall $1 billion writedown to the fertiliser unit. The writedown included $100m for its US operations Most of the rest was linked to the Australian manufacturing operations. The sale process will get going in earnest early next year. The book value is now $414.3 million, compared to more than $1 billion in the past. Private equity in the past has put forward offers of less than $500 million for the fertiliser business, but that was when manufacturing was also part of the picture, although they will be still keen to snap up the operation at an opportunistic price.

Incitec Pivot to Revive Fertiliser Business Sale Campaign The $6 billion listed industrials group Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX:IPL) is set to announce a revived sale process for its fertiliser business when it reports annual earnings on November 11, 2024 and is prepared to break up the division, valued at $1.1 billion. It confirms earlier reports in DataRoom that a fresh sale process would start in 2025 with private equity funds such as Pacific Equity Partners positioning to buy the business. Incitec Pivot is increasingly keen to distance itself from the fertiliser business and carry on as a pure-play explosives and industrial chemicals manufacturer, and has signalled this to investors. It has tried to sell the business before. There has been some informal interest from strategic players, with suggestions that groups such as Ridley or Nutrien may be keen to buy Incitec Pivot's distribution assets. Strategic buyers include Nutrient, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CF) and The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS). Incitec Pivot held talks with Indonesia's Pupuk Kaltim for a sale of the unit earlier this year for a price thought to be more than $1 billion, but there was no deal. Morningstar says the fertiliser unit accounts for about a third of the stock's fair value - which means it comes in at about $1.2 billion. The sale comes as KPMG has been tapped to sell smaller rival Wengfu Australia. Wengfu distributes fertiliser along the east coast, with assets in Brisbane, Newcastle, Geelong, Portland and Adelaide. Market sources say that it is expected to sell for between $50 million and $80 million. However, if it sold for a similar price to the Incitec Pivot unit it would be closer to $200 million. Its parent company is Guizhou Phosphate and Chemical Group. The understanding is a data room is open. There are three overseas buyers but no domestic interest. The deal is likely to be completed in the first half of 2025. Reported Earnings • Nov 11

PEP Reportedly May Look at Incitec Pivot Arm Pacific Equity Partners is believed to be positioning itself to weigh a purchase of the fertiliser arm of Australian listed industrials group Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX:IPL) when it returns to the market. The understanding is that Incitec Pivot is believed to be formally re-launching the sale process for its chemicals unit next year, given the volume of deals currently unfolding in the market attracting buyout funds. DataRoom reported that BGH Capital has been reconsidering the business and recently had some informal talks after it put in an opportunistic offer of about $400 million the first time it was up for sale, so it appears that this time around, private equity could be dominating the field. Some market observers suspect that with the latest developments, the group is becoming increasingly keen to distance itself from the business and carry on life as a pure play explosives and industrial chemicals manufacturer. It comes after a couple of previous formal attempts to sell the unit through sales campaigns, and it's likely existing advisers Macquarie Capital and UBS would be running the auction. Incitec Pivot held talks with Indonesia's Pupuk Kaltim for a sale of the unit earlier this year for a price speculated to be over $1bn, but they did not result in a deal. Sydney-based PEP has been active in the Australian market of late, considering plenty of acquisition opportunities including the Healius diagnostic imaging unit, aged care business Opal, Guardian Childcare and Education, I-MED and Waste Services Group. It comes as it weighs options, including a possible sale or equity injection for its $2bn Zenith Energy. Duyuru • Oct 14
BGH Capital Reportedly Eyes to Acquire Fertiliser Unit of Incitec Pivot As BGH Capital continues to eye up acquisition opportunities, one of the more interesting targets it has turned its attention back to is understood to be the fertiliser unit of Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX:IPL). The Melbourne-based private equity firm looked at the unit when it was placed up for sale by Macquarie Capital and UBS before the global pandemic hit in 2020. However, it was only ever interested in offering up to $400 million, far below the company's price expectations that were closer to $1 billion, say sources. But it is understood that those around the company have been paying a visit to private equity shops in the past few months after calling off a sale to Indonesian buyer Pupuk Kaltim. However, the market chatter is that while BGH is understood to have revisited the opportunity, it's not thought to have been fully convinced it is an opportunity worth pouncing on. DataRoom reported last month that there was activity once again around the $6 billion Incitec Pivot with some expecting the fertilisers business to be broken up and sold off in parts. Nutrien would be the obvious buyer, while Elders may look along with Ridley, but they would likely only want its distribution operations rather than the manufacturing arm, which is now only a small part of the business and is mainly involved in the blending process of fertiliser rather than manufacturing it from scratch. When it was previously on the market, parties put in offers for parts of the fertiliser business, hoping to cherry pick assets such as its up-country blending facilities. Morningstar says the fertiliser unit accounts for about a third of its fair value estimate on the stock or about $1.20 per share, which puts a value on the unit at about $1.2 billion. Duyuru • Oct 08

Yara Reportedly Tipped to Buy Incitec's US Plant Yara International ASA (OB:YAR) is being tipped as the most likely buyer of Incitec Pivot Limited (ASX:IPL)'s $2.2 billion Waggaman manufacturing plant in the US. Other possible buyers include Canadian chemical company Nutrien or even Orica, but sources say they're less likely. Incitec Pivot announced on November 15, 2022 it would delay the spin-off of its fertiliser division and was planning to sell Waggaman, which has faced challenges. DataRoom understands that a trade group is already in talks to buy the manufacturing facility. Yara was said to be one of the parties looking at the Incitec Fertilisers chemicals unit when it was up for sale before the pandemic. Incitec Pivot opted to shelve the sale process and this year announced it would embark on a demerger. It was understood that offers did not meet price expectations, thought to be about $700 million. When delivering its results on November 15, 2022, Incitec Pivot said it had received multiple approaches from credible buyers of its Waggaman ammonia plant in Louisiana. A review of its options for full or partial sale of the plant would push back Incitec's plan to split off its fertiliser and explosives businesses by six to 12 months, Incitec said at the time.
