XP Power - Rounding out the portfolio

With the acquisition of Glassman High Voltage, XP continues in its quest to expand its product portfolio to include high-voltage and high-power products. The acquisition should help XP to further penetrate key accounts, as well as adding new customers. XP is paying £31.8m in cash, funded by extending the company’s credit facility, and expects the deal to be earnings enhancing in FY18. We increase our FY18 and FY19 normalised EPS forecasts by 3.6% and 6.1% respectively. We forecast a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.8x at end FY18, well below the company’s 2.0x ceiling.
