Tomra - BREAKING NEWS Tomra kjøper selskap for NZD 66.9M
Børsmelding nå! Den globale matsorteringsgiganten Tomra blir enda større! NZD/NOK 5.72 betyr at oppkjøpet er i størrelseorden 382.7 millioner NOK.
Under onsdagens Q4 presentasjon bet jeg meg merke i at CFO Espen Gundersen sa at man godt kunne betalt ut større utbytte enn foreslått 2.35 NOK pr. aksje for 2017, men vurderte det slik at aksjonærenes interesser ble bedre ivaretatt ved å ha penger på bok i tilfellet det dukket opp interessante prosjekter. Vi skjønner nå at et slikt prosjekt var veldig nært forestående!

TOMRA Systems ASA (TOMRA), through its fully owned subsidiary TOMRA Sorting AS,
has on 26.02.2018 signed an agreement with the owners of BBC Technologies Ltd

Further Expansion within the Global Food Sorting Segment

fruits.

market position and their long-term commitment to customers. We are fully
committed to continue supporting this strategy jointly with BBCs leadership
team and working together to find new ways to further enhance local presence,
aftersales support and technology development. We trust that TOMRA can

Ranstrand, TOMRAs President and CEO
BBC Technologies origins go back to 2000, currently employing around 145 people
across locations in New Zealand, Chile, Europe and USA. About 2,350 BBC
Technologies machines have been sold worldwide. With year-end in December the
company generated a 2017 EBITDA of approximately NZD 10m on total revenue of
approximately NZD 36m.
Joining TOMRA provides BBC Technologies and our customers the perfect platform
to further enhance our technology and service offerings in all corners of the
globe. As a company built by growers for growers, we respect TOMRAs global
market leadership which has been achieved through continuous innovation and
partnership with their customers, consistent with the principles that have
fuelled our own growth at BBC Technologies, says Head of BBC Technologies Geoff
Furniss.

cash and interest-bearing debt. TOMRA will pay the purchase price in cash, and
the transaction will be financed through existing drawing rights.
Closing of the transaction is expected to take place end of February 2018.

Mike Riley, Head of TOMRA Food says: “This acquisition further increases TOMRA’s leadership in grading, sorting, and packaging solutions for fresh, packaged, and processed foods. Following the recent, successful integration of Compac, we are investing more into small fruit and reduced footprint deployments. We are also making large-scale investments to create new value for customers by extracting and analysing data from TOMRA equipment, which is complemented by the Freshtracker platform. This is just one example of how combining the two companies will generate significant new value and transform the industry.
“With an ever-increasing consumer focus on superfoods such as blueberries, the addition of BBC Technologies to TOMRA’s portfolio allows us to better serve the needs of growers and packers. Combined with BBC Technologies, TOMRA now offers the world’s most complete small-fruit sorting and packaging portfolio for large to small pack-houses, and for the growing number of repack and fresh produce distribution centres worldwide.”
Geoff Furniss, Head of BBC Technologies says: “Joining TOMRA provides the perfect platform to further enhance our technology and service offerings in all corners of the globe. As a company built by growers for growers, we respect TOMRA’s market leadership, which has been achieved through innovation and partnership with customers, consistent with the principles that have fuelled our own growth at BBC Technologies.”
“Customers of both companies will see continued dedication to meet and exceed their needs, including new support and service capabilities in all regions globally, so customers are never far from deep expertise. Beyond this acquisition, TOMRA is making other new investments in people, services, and technology to help customers optimise every aspect of their operations,” says Mike Riley.

Flott lokal, lesverdig og megetsigende artikkel fra New Zealand om oppkjøpet.
"There was a drive at ownership levels and within the family to find a better home that's more aligned with the potential the business has," Furniss said.
The company sought a buyer seven months ago, and received a "large number of enquiries".
"We recognise it's an end of a era ... but I think it's exciting. We're a pretty ambitious bunch of people here, we've got big ideas and dreams, and it's nice to find someone we can partner with and chase them down together.
"We've already had commercial benefits, with common customers seeing the relationship as being strong and making additional purchases we wouldn't have otherwise expected. It seen as a really positive sales push."

Så forøvrig webcasten fra Q4 onsdag om igjen i ro og mak i går kveld (så den også direkte, men hadde da annet å gjøre samtidig). Det ble til at jeg ble sittende og smile. Smiler fremdeles. :)

Our Berry Science Program
BBC Technologies has an internal, established and ongoing Berry Science Program which, through years of research, has compiled the most extensive collection of berry samples and data that exists in the world—more than any other university, research institute or competing manufacturer. Our library includes samples and findings from a comprehensive spread of varieties, berry maturities, growing conditions, seasons and weather conditions. By continually validating this research and expanding its scope, we remain at the forefront of our field. This is why we say our machines, are literally built from the berry up.

Selskapet MinterEllisonRuddWatts fremforhandlet kjøpet av BBC Technologies for Tomra.
“We are very proud to have been part of the team helping to broker this significant deal for TOMRA,” says Cameron Taylor.
“The acquisition highlights the success of many New Zealand companies internationally and their appeal as investment opportunities.
“It has been a pleasure working with the TOMRA Food team as they have developed a world leading small-fruit sorting and packaging portfolio for large to small pack-houses, and for the growing number of repack and fresh produce distribution centres worldwide.”

Tenker dette er en kjempedeal som aksjonærene vil få mye glede av. Ja til og med selveste "sjefsbaisseren" når det gjelder Tomra DNB Markets lar seg rive med av oppkjøpet av BBC Technologies:
Tomra meldte mandag kveld at de gjennom datterselskapet Tomra Sorting AS har signert en avtale om kjøp av matsorteringsprodusenten BBC Technologies for 66,9 millioner newzealandske dollar på kontant- og gjeldsfri basis.
DNB mener BBC Technologies har levert imponerende omsetnings- og ebitda-tall, særlig de tre siste årene.
Dette er Tomras andre oppkjøp i New Zealand og vi tror BBC vil gi komplementær teknologi til Tomra med deres spesialitet innen gradering og håndtering av myke frukter. (...). Vi tror også at BBC vil kunne dra nytte av å bli med i Tomras globale plattform og ekspandere sitt globale fotavtrykk videre, skriver DNB Markets.

MinterEllisonRuddWatts fremforhandlet forøvrig også kjøpet av "turnaround caset" Compac, for Tomra. Også det i New Zealand. Under Q4 presentasjonen 21.februar opplyste Tomra at vellykket turnaround allerede er et faktum når det gjelder Compac som nå dermed bidrar positivt i selskapsdriften.
