Ratos AB: Ledil refinanced - Ratos to receive EUR 18m

PRESS  RELEASE  6 February 2017     Ratos subsidiary Ledil, a leading global provider of secondary optics for LED lighting, has been refinanced. Ratos will receive a dividend of approximately EUR 18m for its holding of 66%. The refinancing was enabled by strong profitable growth and the business's favourable performance.

Ledil is a Finnish leading global provider of secondary optics for LED lighting. The products are sold by the company's own sales force as well as through agents and distributors in Europe, North America and Asia. Ratos acquired Ledil in 2014 and the company has since then demonstrated continued strong growth and development of its operations. For the first nine months of 2016, sales amounted to approximately EUR 29m (24), equivalent to growth of about 22% and an EBITA margin of about 32%.

"Ledil has continued to demonstrate good organic growth driven by strong demand in all of its major markets. The company's continued positive outlook, its strong financial position and stable cash flows have facilitated a refinancing and dividend, while we retain a balanced capital structure in the company for further growth," says Daniel Repfennig, Senior Investment Manager at Ratos.

Ratos will receive approximately EUR 18m as a dividend to be paid in February. Ratos's consolidated book value for Ledil will be adjusted downward by a corresponding amount. The refinancing will have no impact on the Ratos Group's results. Ratos's holding in Ledil is 66% and Ratos's net invested capital amounts to SEK 460m before dividends are paid. Following the refinancing, approximately 40% of Ratos's initial investment has been repaid.
