Happy Belly Food Group ( (TSE:HBFG) ) has provided an announcement.
Happy Belly Food Group has completed the sale of its wholly owned cereal and oatmeal subsidiary Holy Crap Foods for C$1 million in cash plus working capital adjustments, converting what management called a non-core asset into capital for restaurant expansion. The company highlighted that the transaction implies an estimated 10x EBITDA multiple and said the proceeds will support near-term store openings and franchise growth as it doubles down on its QSR-led strategy.
As part of the strategic shift away from consumer packaged goods and toward quick-service restaurants, Happy Belly has appointed veteran corporate lawyer Matt Appleby to its board, while long-time director Kevin Cole has stepped down after helping shepherd the CPG vertical. The board changes are intended to bolster governance and capital markets expertise as the company pursues QSR growth and potential franchising opportunities across its portfolio brands.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:HBFG) stock is a Buy with a C$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Happy Belly Food Group stock, see the TSE:HBFG Stock Forecast page.
