Rexel announces it has reached agreement to acquire Mayer, a major distributor of electrical products and services in the Eastern part of the USA, further building up its presence in the world\u2019s leading market for electrical supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, founded in 1930 and owned by the Collat family, Mayer operates 68 branches in 12 states, with a strong presence in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania. It counts 1,200 employees and generated turnover of USD1.2bn over the last 12 months through end-August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on an Enterprise Value of USD456m, the transaction is projected to be accretive to Rexel\u2019s Earnings Per Share in year 1 and value-creating in year 2, fully in line with the Group\u2019s commitment, notably thanks to targeted synergies of c.1.5% of acquired sales as of year 2. The transaction will leave Rexel\u2019s indebtedness ratio significantly below 2.0x EBITDA on a proforma basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe acquisition of Mayer will allow Rexel to expand its footprint in North America, the biggest market in the world for electric supplies and a key pillar of our strategy. The two companies\u2019 strengths in the regions where Mayer operates are very complementary and should allow for a smooth integration. We are impressed by the quality and reputation of Mayer\u2019s team and are looking forward to starting to work with them, under the leadership of Jeff Baker, CEO of Rexel USA. This transaction is fully in line with both the strategy and the financial objectives announced at our February Capital Markets Day.<\/em>\u201d
