Sdiptech raises acquisition targets
Today, Sdiptech AB (publ) announces that the company is updating its annual acquisition target, from SEK 90 million in acquired profit growth, to SEK 120–150 million. The updated financial target applies from 2021 and until further notice.
Sdiptech's business model is to create value growth by acquiring and developing profitable niche companies that contribute to more sustainable, efficient and safe societies. The company's acquisition targets are carefully calibrated to drive good profit growth towards a manageable financial risk from time to time, based on the development phase in which the company is in. The updated acquisition target reflects this. Sdiptech's other financial targets remain the same.
“Sdiptech's overall goal is to increase profits through both organic growth and acquisitions. As we grow, both in size and capacity, we can increase our acquisition target. So far this year, we have added approximately SEK 105 million in added EBITA through acquisitions. With more geographical markets, interesting segments and a strong acquisition organisation, I feel both confident and proud to be able to raise our acquisition target”, says Jakob Holm, CEO of Sdiptech.
Sdiptech's financial goals:
- Organic earnings growth: An average annual organic EBITA growth of 5–10 percent (unchanged).
- Acquired earnings growth: On an annual average basis, acquire companies with a total EBITA of SEK 120–150 million (updated).
- Capital structure: Financial net debt in relation to adjusted EBITDA on a rolling 12-months basis shall not exceed 2.5 times (unchanged).
