TXT has announced an agreement to acquire an Italian financing software company for an enterprise value of €7.6m. This marks the first acquisition since TXT Retail was sold and diversifies the offering for the banking and finance business, adding software to what is predominantly a services offering. We estimate the deal should be earnings accretive (+11% FY18e EPS, +23% FY19e) and will revise our estimates on completion.
