By GlobalDataMeanwhile, Breedon anticipates that the transaction will enhance its earnings in the first full year of ownership.
Breedon CEO Rob Wood said: “As a high-quality aggregates and concrete business that has grown at pace, organically and through acquisitions, with a strong management team and deep local knowledge, BMC’s culture and values are fully aligned with the Breedon business model.
“The acquisition is expected to be earnings enhancing for shareholders while allowing Breedon to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet to pay dividends and make further bolt-on acquisitions across each of our platforms as opportunities arise.”
Moelis & Company is serving as the financial advisor to Breedon for this acquisition while Morrison & Foerster has provided legal advice to the company.
