Jen­op­tik has suc­cessfully com­ple­ted acqui­si­tion of TRIOPTICS GmbH: Com­pany will be an addi­tio­nal key pil­lar of the Light & Optics Division

With the clo­sing on Sep­tem­ber 24, 2020 JENOPTIK AG (FSE: JEN / ISIN: DE000A2NB601) has suc­cessfully com­ple­ted the acqui­si­tion of the first tran­che of 75 per­cent of the Ham­burg-based optics spe­cia­list TRIOPTICS, which had been anti­ci­pa­ted for the third quar­ter. All con­di­ti­ons pre­ce­dent rela­ting to the tran­sac­tion have been ful­fil­led and all neces­sary offi­cial appr­ovals for the take­over have been obtai­ned. Jen­op­tik will take over the remai­ning 25 per­cent of shares from the owners after ful­fil­ling defi­ned suc­cess cri­te­ria on Decem­ber 31, 2021. It is plan­ned to estab­lish TRIOPTICS’s busi­ness within our Light & Optics Divi­sion as a fourth, new stra­te­gic busi­ness unit.
As alre­ady sta­ted the enter­prise value equa­tes to a com­bi­ned 2021e EV/EBITDA mul­ti­ple of 10.4. Both par­ties to the con­tract have agreed not to dis­c­lose details of the purchase price.

Ste­fan Trae­ger, Jen­op­tik Pre­si­dent & CEO: “Due to its high pro­fi­ta­bi­lity and strong free cash flow gene­ra­tion, TRIOPTICS will con­tri­bute signi­fi­cantly to Jenoptik’s ear­nings alre­ady in the cur­rent fis­cal year with the initial con­so­li­da­tion start­ing on the day of clo­sing. Sub­stan­tial syn­er­gies are expec­ted not only from the expan­ded tech­no­lo­gi­cal know-how, but also from the expan­sion of lea­ding mar­ket posi­ti­ons and the inten­si­fied coope­ra­tion with important glo­bal Tier 1 com­pa­nies. The com­ple­men­tary port­fo­lios will allow to offer a broa­der range of mea­su­ring sys­tems, as well as pro­duc­tion faci­li­ties for sen­sor solu­ti­ons and opti­cal micro­com­pon­ents, which over the long term might be reflec­ted in eco­no­mies of scale and thus reve­nue syn­er­gies worth more than 50 mil­lion euros”.

Jen­op­tik will pro­vide fur­ther details regar­ding the finan­cial impact of the acqui­si­tion on net asset, finan­cial and ear­nings posi­tion of the Group with the report­ing of the annual results 2020 in March, 2021.
