Nobia acquires Rixonway Kitchens in the UK

Nobia acquires Rixonway Kitchens, a large kitchen supplier in the UK market, leading in the social housing segment. The acquisition strengthens Nobia's position on the UK kitchen market and enables realisation of synergy effects. Nobia has agreed with August Equity LLP and the management of Rixonway Kitchens, regarding the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares of Rollfold Holdings Limited, the parent company of Rixonway Kitchens. The transaction has been completed and, accordingly, is not subject to any conditions. The purchase price consists of an up-front consideration of GBP 31 million, on a cash and debt free basis, and a variable cash consideration of a maximum of GBP 3 million. The variable payment is conditional upon the business performance and the key management will remain in operation until at least March 2016. “The acquisition of Rixonway Kitchens is part of our growth strategy to expand to markets and segments that complement Nobia’s existing businesses. We double our market share in the UK project market, which provides new opportunities for value creation for Nobia’s shareholders,” comments Morten Falkenberg, President and CEO of Nobia. Through synergy effects in primarily sourcing and operations, Nobia expects the acquisition to have a positive effect on Nobia’s operating margin and earnings per share from 2015, with full effect in 2017. As a result of the acquisition, Nobia’s net debt increases by the amount of GBP 31 million.
