Recipharm (Buy, TP: SEK155.00) - Acquisition and share issue

Recipharm has announced a new carve-out transaction in its European operation. In our view, the transaction has an attractive price multiple of EV/EBITDA of c5.3x and should be accretive to sales and margins. At the same time, the company announced a directed share issue of cSEK500m to finance the transaction. Our back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that the transaction and financing are accretive by c5% at the EPS level. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and have increased our target price to SEK155 (SEK140).
