The Biggest Value EBags Can Bring to Samsonite is E-Commerce Expertise; FVE Intact Post-Acquisition
Why does Samsonite want to acquire a small, loss-making e-commerce platform that also sells non-Samsonite-owned brands? We think the answer is for acquiring e-commerce talent, especially those with travel products and bags experience. EBags will only have a small impact on Samsonite’s earnings (no impact in 2017 and 2% higher pretax profit in 2018). We raised Samsonite’s total sales in 2017 by 2.5% but reduce pretax profit margin from 11.6% to 11.3% to account for eBag’s contribution.
