SYMINGTON'S - INTERSTING POTENTIAL SYNERGIES
- Symington's has a distribution platform for products across the UK regions, which is utilized at c.70% of its capacity and which could be used for the distribution of Newlat's Food Pasta & Bakery category.
- The distribution opportunities are supported by the Symington's strong relationship with the UK's most important retailers.
- Newlat will internalize the production of the Birkel Minuto instant noodles range, marketed in Germany, hence improving margins on such products. Thanks to Symington's know-how, it will be possible to enlarge the Birkel Minuto range and offer a unique and wide product range to German retailers.
- Symington's is purchasing circa GBP 7mn of pasta as raw materials. Newlat Food has c.40% of spare capacity and the industrial knowledge to cover all recipes and formats.
- Symington's introduced its products to the US many years ago and it is today sold in Walmart. This relationship could be further levered with the offer of Newlat Food products.
- The optimization of the capacity could leave one of the Symington's production plants free to become a pure pasta production plant.
-
Cost synergies amounting to a total of € 10 million are estimated to be realized by the end of 2022.
-
Total consideration (post-adjustments) of GBP 53 mln as a Free Cash/Debt EV for 100% shares and voting rights of Symington's Limited.
- No theoretical dilution for Newlat Food Shareholders.
- Valuation is reduced post-synergies.
