BOORTMALT

Acquired by

TEMASEK, UNIGRAINS & TEREOS

BELGIUM Food Processing / Ingredients REV 250M - 500M EUR

Context

Axéréal has completed a €150 million capital increase for its subsidiary Boortmalt. The funding was provided by an international consortium including Singaporean sovereign wealth fund Temasek, agri-food specialist Unigrains, and the cooperative group Tereos. While Axéréal remains the majority shareholder through its cooperative members, this fresh capital is earmarked for international development beyond its European stronghold. The primary strategic goal is to establish production zones in Africa and Asia to follow the global growth of the brewing industry. This transaction highlights the attractiveness of the malting industry, characterized by high barriers to entry and strong demand from emerging markets.

BOORTMALT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2016, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the AgriFood sector (10.6x).
