Strategic Rationale and Impact on GUD
Strategic rationale
> Rationale for the combination of GUD and Breville is compelling
Enhanced international expansion opportunities
� Economies of scale �
-
Potential to accelerate growth in international markets (e.g. North America) utilising Sunbeam’s product platforms and the Breville distribution capability
-
Optimisation of product sourcing and other operational initiatives expected to be available through merged economies of scale
Improved product � development capability
- Potential to co‐ordinate product development functions with a view to enhancing the product offering of the Merged Group
Potentially significant � operational efficiencies
- Depending on the extent to which GUD controls Breville, there may be opportunities to combine certain back‐office functions which may provide cost reduction opportunities to the Merged Group
Page 13
Impact on GUD
Neutral to slightly positive impact on GUD’s earnings per share on a pro forma basis for the financial year ended 30 June 2009, assuming GUD obtains a 50.1% ownership position in Breville
- Excludes benefits from implementation of operational initiatives post‐ acquisition
> Strong consolidated gearing and leverage metrics[1]
-
FY2009 pro forma gearing (ND / ND + E) of approximately 30%[2]
-
FY2009 pro forma net debt / EBITDA of 1.2x
-
FY2009 pro forma EBIT interest cover of 6.3x
Page 14
-
Finance costs have been adjusted to exclude non‐recurring losses relating to interest rate swap contracts which were closed out by GUD during the financial year ended 30 June 2009 given the significant volatility in interest rates during the period. Although Breville did not close out interest rate swap contracts during the year, the non‐recurring portion of the interest rate swap contracts, as disclosed by Breville has been adjusted in the pro forma income statement for consistency with GUD
-
FY2009 pro forma consolidated gearing would be approximately 30% assuming a 50.1% ownership position and approximately 26% assuming a 100% ownership position.
Opportunities for value creation
> If GUD does not reach the 90% compulsory acquisition threshold under the Offer:
-
GUD intends to explore value creation opportunities that provide mutual benefit to shareholders of both companies
-
May include the consideration of the formation of a strategic alliance in relation to certain business functions
-
Operational and financial benefits may to be limited while GUD and Breville are operating as separate companies
