\u00a9 Reuters. BAE Systems to acquire Ball’s aerospace business for $5.55 billion<\/span>
\n<\/i>\n<\/div>\n

BAE Systems (OTC:) agreed to a deal to purchase Ball Corp.’s (NYSE:) aerospace business. This move is expected to improve margins and earnings per share in the first year after completion.<\/p>\n

The acquisition will be funded using new external debt and existing cash resources. The purchase price represents a transaction multiple of around 13 times the estimated 2024 EBITDA after accounting for tax benefits and cost synergies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe complementary cultural fit of Ball Aerospace and BAE Systems and their combined position as a pure play aerospace and technologies company will leverage Ball’s recent investments in talent and facilities located across the country and centered in Boulder, Broomfield and Westminster, Colorado, to provide a multi-dimensional platform for vital national defense, intelligence, and science hardware, software, and space-based assets,\u201d said Daniel Fisher, chairman and chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

The deal is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2024. BAE Systems will pay a termination fee of $100 million to Ball Corp. if the transaction is canceled.<\/p>\n

The aerospace business is projected to generate revenues of around $2.2 billion and an adjusted EBITDA of about $310M in 2023.<\/p>\n

Separately, Ball announced its intention to use share repurchases and quarterly dividends to increase value for shareholders.<\/p>\n

Ball shares rose 5% in early Thursday trade on the news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
