Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
NGVT wrapped the sale of North Charleston CTO refinery assets and most Industrial Specialties to Mainstream.
Ingevity receives $110M at closing, with up to $19M in contingent consideration tied to future performance.
It is aligned to NGVT's move to exit CTO assets and focus on Pavement Technologies.
Ingevity Corporation (NGVT - Free Report) has announced the completion of the divestiture of its North Charleston Crude Tall Oil (CTO) refinery assets and the majority of its Performance Chemicals Industrial Specialties product line to Mainstream Pine Products, LLC. According to the terms of the all-cash deal, Ingevity receives $110 million at closing, with the potential for $0–$19 million in contingent consideration subject to future business performance milestones and customary adjustments.
This marks a critical step in simplifying and streamlining Ingevity’s business to become the best-in-class specialty materials company. The strategic move will enable Industrial Specialties to continue to perform well under Mainstream’s ownership. The pivotal move in reshaping Ingevity’s portfolio is consistent with its action to exit its remaining CTO-based product lines and retain its Pavement Technologies business along with other lignin-based dispersant products, reinforcing its commitment to sharpen its focus on higher-margin, specialty applications.
The CTO refinery assets that are included in the divestiture are co-located within Ingevity’s Performance Chemicals manufacturing facility in North Charleston, SC. The transaction enables Ingevity’s portfolio optimization strategy and reallocation of capital and resources more effectively toward higher growth.
NGVT’s shares have gained 57.9% over the past year compared with the industry’s 0.8% growth.
