Waste Management, Inc. (WM - Free Report) and Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. yesterday announced revision of terms of the definitive agreement per which all outstanding shares of the latter will be purchased in cash by a subsidiary of Waste Management.
Notably, shares of Waste Management have gained 3.7% over the past three months, compared with the 7.1% decline of Advanced Disposal shares and 8.4% decline of the industry both belong to.
Still a Multibillion Dollar Deal
The revised value of the deal is $30.3 per share, representing total enterprise value of $4.6 billion, including around $1.8 billion of Advanced Disposal’s net debt. The deal’s previous value, when announced on Apr 15, was $33.15 per share, representing total enterprise value of $4.9 billion including around $1.9 billion of Advanced Disposal’s net debt.
Waste Management plans to fund the acquisition through a combination of credit facilities and commercial paper, and is checking other long-term financing modes as well.
It is one of the largest solid-waste company acquisitions and Waste Management’s largest acquisition in more than a decade.
Additionally, Waste Management and Advanced Disposal announced a definitive agreement per which GFL Environment (GFL - Free Report) will purchase a combination of their assets for $835 million in order to satisfy all of the divestitures expected to be required by the U.S. Department of Justice. Both the transactions are anticipated to be completed by the third quarter of 2020.
Benefits to Waste Management
The company continues to expect more than $100 million in annual cost savings and capital expenditure synergies, and significant cash flow growth from the transaction.
The acquisition will add complementary assets and customer base, helping Waste management strengthen its footprint in North America.
Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
