Halma plc ('Halma' or the 'Group')
Acquisition
Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies
focused on growing a safer, cleaner and healthier future for
everyone every day, today announces that it has acquired IZI
Medical Products, LLC (IZI).
Headquartered in Maryland, USA, IZI is a designer, manufacturer
and distributor of medical consumable devices which are mainly used
by interventional radiologists and surgeons in a range of acute,
hospital-based diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. IZI's three
primary markets are products for Image Guided Surgery,
Interventional Oncology and Interventional Spine procedures (see
"Further Information on IZI" at the end of this announcement).
The initial consideration for IZI is US$153.5m (approximately
GBP138m), on a cash- and debt-free basis, and will be paid in cash
and funded from Halma's existing facilities. When adjusted for tax
benefits with a net present value of approximately US$11m
(approximately GBP10m), the net initial consideration is
approximately US$142.5m (approximately GBP128m). An additional
consideration of up to US$14.5m (approximately GBP13m) is payable
in cash, based on IZI's growth in the year to 31 March 2023.
IZI's unaudited revenue for the 12 months to 31 March 2022 was
US$32.9m (approximately GBP30m), with Return on Sales substantially
above Halma's target range of 18-22%. IZI will be a standalone
company within Halma's Healthcare sector, led by its current
management team.
Greg Groenke, Chief Executive Officer of IZI Medical Products,
commented: "Our purpose is to improve patients' lives with
physician-led innovation. This vision aligns to Halma's when it
comes to improving quality of care delivered by healthcare
providers. Many physicians started using our technologies in
medical school and have continued to do so throughout their
careers. Joining the Halma group will take IZI Medical Products to
the next level, adding R&D, commercial and international growth
opportunities that will help us in our journey to advance
healthcare for patients worldwide."
Andrew Williams, Group Chief Executive of Halma, commented: "IZI
further extends our Healthcare sector into products supporting
minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions,
principally cancer. IZI's growth is supported by the higher
incidence of health conditions in ageing populations, improved
screening and diagnostics enabling earlier treatment of disease,
and expansion into adjacent applications through innovation."
