De La Rue - Withdrawal from subscale activity
De La Rue has announced it is selling its International ID Solutions business for £42m. Following the loss of the UK Passport Contract last year, the remaining activities lacked critical mass in a consolidating sector and disposal to Assa Abloy has been deemed to be the most favourable solution. The deal will be earnings dilutive as the passport contract winds down and by the end of FY20 there will be no contribution from ID Solutions from FY21. Our EPS for FY21 is reduced by 8% to 31.9p.De La Rue provides governments, central banks and businesses with a range of security products, software solutions and services that underpin the integrity of trade, personal identity and the movement of people and goods. Co. has three segments: Currency, which provides printed banknotes, banknote paper and polymer substrates and banknote security components; Identity Solutions, which involves the provision of passport, ePassport, national ID and eID, driving licence and voter registration schemes; as well as Product Authentication and Traceability, which produces security documents, including authentication labels, brand licensing products, government documents, cheques and postage stamps.
