Reliance Worldwide Corporation has consented to secure Holman Industries, a manufacturer and distributor of branded plumbing and watering products in Australia, for $160 million.
RWC said the cost reflects multiple times how much Holman’s LTM EBITDA before collaborations, with the obtaining expected to be EPS accretive from the principal entire year of ownership.
Sales of stormwater fittings, PVC pressure fittings, and other “water-out” plumbing products account for roughly half of the company’s revenue. These products focus on drain, waste, and vent solutions. Holman’s leftover incomes are created by deals of watering items including hose frameworks, fittings, timers, and garden products in retail and equipment.
The company has created deals of $192 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $22.9 million in the 12w months finished 31 December 2023.
RWC assessed that Asia Pacific net deals for the ongoing monetary year finishing 30 June 2024 will increment by roughly $50 million, mirroring Holman’s part-period contribution.
Wally Edwards, founder of Holman, has consented to stay with the business for two years following the acquisition.
“Product innovation coupled with high levels of customer service have been instrumental in driving Holman’s growth. This is strongly aligned with RWC’s approach to growing its business.
The acquisition of Holman provides RWC with immediate and substantial access to the Australian water-out segment, allowing us to strengthen our overall offering and be an even better partner to our core plumbing wholesalers in Australia. Entering the water-out market is a strategic priority in each of our three regions. While we have looked at other opportunities globally, Holman marks our first foray into this end market. We expect it will help lead and catalyse our approach in other markets globally,” said the CEO of RWC, Heath Sharp.
