- EPC最近會跌那麼多主要是因為併購後債務增加、併購金額高(EPC近期市值1.82B,歷年營收約2.23B,但Harry's營收才285m,EPC卻花1.37B併購Harry's)、市場怕併購失敗…
- According to the press release issued byEdgewell, the company has struck a deal whereby it will acquire personal carecompany Harry’s in exchange for $1.37 billion. The transaction in question will consist largely of cash,worth $1.085 billion. The rest of the deal, $285million, will be in the form of Edgewell shares. As aresult of this transaction, the investors in Harry’s will end up owning 11% ofthe combined firm. This is, by all accounts, a significant move by Edgewell,the maker of Schick, when you consider that the company’s entire marketcap, following a 15.8% decline in response to thisdevelopment, is only $1.82 billion.
- Clearly, the market is not too enthusiastic overEdgewell’s decision. To see why, we need only look at the sales of both firms.Last year, revenue generated by Edgewell totaled $2.23 billion. This year, on the other hand (no significant public data is offeredfor last year), Harry’s will generate sales of around $325 million. This is a significant disparity in terms of salesalone, but it becomes clear precisely why this existswhen you consider the performance of both firms over an extended period oftime.
