Energy Stock News:
Enterprise Group (TSX: $E.TO) Completes Sale of Calgary Tunnelling &
Horizontal Augering
St.
Albert, AB - March 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Enterprise Group,
Inc. ("Company" or "Enterprise") (TSX:E)
a consolidator of services to the energy sector; focused primarily on
specialized equipment rental, announcing today that it has closed the
previously reported sale of the assets of its trenchless solutions business
unit, Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal Augering (“CTHA”), to a private arm's
length purchaser.
Acquired
in June 2013 for $12.0 million, over the course CTHA generated approximately
$60 million in profitable revenue to Enterprise.
Gross
proceeds of the transaction are $20.6 million pursuant to post-closing working
capital adjustments. All proceeds from this transaction will be deployed
towards reducing Enterprise's debt, placing the Company in the enviable
position of being net debt free.
Enterprise's
corporate structure will allow the utilization of tax losses to offset the gain
on this transaction.
In
a news release dated March 15th that announced full year results to December
31, 2017 the Company provided a breakdown adjusted for goodwill and deferred
taxes, assets in excess of total debt of $51 million or $0.92 per share. The
CTHA transaction improves this position, increasing it to $56 million or $1.01
per share.
Management's
execution of its growth plan bodes extremely well for the future of Enterprise
as well as its shareholders. Management intends to build and grow its three
remaining divisions and acquire additional equipment rental businesses.
There
are a number of acquisition targets currently being evaluated by the Company.
The
paydown of the PNC credit facility will free up the $25 million line for future
acquisition purposes. Management has also been offered a further $15 million
line from a prominent U.S. based non-bank lender for acquisition purposes.
