The target is a steel stamper selling to U.S.-based customers in the HVAC and heavy truck industry. We are under an exclusive LOI to acquire the company. It has good margins, and operates as a twin-plant maquiladora serving large multinationals with all its sales under contracts in USD. With sales of $33M USD and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7M USD, this 2023 is estimated to exceed $4.8MM USD. The opportunity has multiple arbitrage, fundamentals, and leverage potential with banks in the US.
The LOI considers a TEV $20MUSD plus an Earnout of $7.5MM USD. Indicative US Debt of $7MUSD is available. And we are looking for $13 MUSD of equity. The target is under the IMMEX maquiladora twin plant regime with 0% VAT at invoicing and single-digit corporate tax rate. We are in the pre-due diligence process, to later include specialized firms such as EY or KPMG for due diligence.
