Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Acquisition StrategyEssentra has announced a small bolt-on acquisition, buying US-based Device Technologies for an initial consideration of US$6.7m, which is seen as a sensible deal at a decent price.
Growth StrategyM&A is a key element of the group's growth strategy, indicating potential for more acquisitions in the future.
Valuation And Growth PotentialThe business has been acquired on an attractive multiple (6.6x EV/EBITDA), suggesting good value.
Bears Say
Geographical Growth ImpactThe healthy growth came with a negative mix (Turkey growth greater than Western EU growth) and this drives downgrades for future forecasts.
Margin ImpactGrowth has been higher in lower-margin areas, and this negative mix impact will likely result in consensus EBITA moving lower.
Regional Growth DiscrepancyThe negative mix impact from Turkey growth over Core EU growth will likely have a margin impact this year and next.
