Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
CMC closed a $675M purchase that broadens its construction solutions portfolio with higher-margin revenues.
The transaction is immediately accretive and is expected to generate $5M-$10M in synergies by the third year.
CMC's combined acquisitions support plans to build a major U.S. precast platform with up to $30M synergies.
Commercial Metals Company (CMC - Free Report) recently declared that it has closed its previously announced deal to acquire Concrete Pipe & Precast, LLC ("CP&P") from Eagle Corporation and ECPP, LLC. The addition of CP&P will expand CMC’s early-stage construction solutions portfolio.
Details of Commercial Metals’ CP&P Buyout Deal
CP&P is a provider of precast concrete solutions that serves the Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic regions of the United States and is wholly owned by Eagle Corporation and ECPP. It has strong, stable margins and cash flows and is part of a large and attractive industry.
CMC acquired CP&P for a cash purchase price of $675 million.
The acquisition of CP&P creates a scalable platform for CMC in a fragmented industry with strong profit margins. The market conditions for the precast suppliers provide Commercial Metals a long-term runway for self-directed organic and inorganic growth.
The deal is projected to be immediately accretive to CMC’s earnings per share and free cash flow. By the third year of completion, annual run-rate synergies from the transaction are expected to be between $5 million and $10 million, primarily related to optimization initiatives.
The CP&P deal will advance CMC's core business by adding a complementary revenue stream with higher and more stable margins. The precast business requires less capital than the company’s traditional steel operations. This will result in stronger cash flow generation.
CMC’s Focus on Portfolio Optimization
Commercial Metals inked a deal to acquire Foley Products Company for a cash purchase price of $1.84 billion. This deal will provide CMC with an immediate platform scale in a strategically attractive industry.
The company expects to close this deal by the end of 2025. The acquisition of Foley and CP&P will position Commercial Metals as a leading player in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions, which will operate one of the largest precast concrete platforms in the United States.
CMC has identified operational annual run-rate synergies of $25 million to $30 million from Foley and CP&P by year three, with additional synergies expected to be recognized in upcoming years.
