EnPro Industries, Inc. (NPO - Free Report) yesterday completed the divestment of its business unit, Compressor Products International, Inc., for $195 million. The other party to the transaction was Glasgow, UK-based Howden Group.
The divestment deal was signed between the parties on Oct 12, 2021.
Yesterday, EnPro’s shares gained 2.63%, ending the trading session at $109.15.
Howden Group provides products for handling air and gas as well as related services. Product offerings include fans, heaters, compressors, blowers and steam turbines. It serves multiple industries, including cement, gas processing, marine, chemical, oil & gas, food and beverage, power generation, transportation, and specialty gases.
Inside the Headlines
The divested Compressor Products business provides products and related services for reciprocating compressors. The business serves customers in the oil & gas, and petrochemical industries. Before divestment, the business was part of EnPro’s Engineered Materials segment. The segment’s revenues totaled $234.2 million in the first nine months of 2021, marking an increase of 16.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Presently, EnPro’s Engineered Materials segment comprises Garlock Pipeline Technologies and GGB. While the former provides pipeline customers with mechanic solutions, the latter provides polymer-bearing solutions.
For EnPro, the divestment price of $195 million represents 10.4x adjusted LTM earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). It intends to utilize the net proceeds of $170 million from the divestment to lower debts and funding the buyout of NxEdge. The acquisition was completed this November for $850 million.

The divestment is in sync with EnPro’s initiatives to concentrate on businesses related to industrial technology. Its focus is mainly on improving operations in photonics, food and pharma, semiconductor, and aerospace industries.
In addition to the above-mentioned divestment, EnPro completed the divestment of its polymer components business to Edgewater Capital Partners in September 2021 and the bushing block business to Melma Group in December 2020. EnPro also sold STEMCO’s Air Springs business to an associate of Turnspire Capital Partners in November 2020.
EnPro divested Crewson brake adjuster and Motor Wheel brake drum businesses of the STEMCO division in September. The other party to the transaction was Hendrickson USA, LLC. In January, EnPro sold its Fairbanks Morse to private equity firm Arcline Investment Management.
Zacks Rank, Estimate Trend and Price Performance
EnPro presently has a market capitalization of $2.3 billion and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). It is poised to gain from buyouts and divestments, solid product offerings, and pricing actions. Cost inflation and supply-chain woes are concerning.
In the past three months, EnPro’s shares have gained 27.5% against the industry’s decline of 1.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EnPro’s earnings is pegged at $5.48 for 2021 and $6.80 for 2022, reflecting growth of 0.2% and 12.8% from the respective 60-day-ago figures. The consensus estimate for the fourth quarter has decreased 5.7% to $1.15 during the same timeframe.
Highest Returns for Any Asset Class
It’s not even close. Despite ups and downs, Bitcoin has been more profitable for investors than any other decentralized, borderless form of money.
No guarantees for the future, but in the past three presidential election years, Bitcoin’s returns were as follows: 2012 +272.4%, 2016 +161.1%, and 2020 +302.8%. Zacks predicts another significant surge in months to come.
