Context
Royal DSM has reached an agreement to acquire the Erber Group, specifically its specialty animal nutrition and health businesses, Biomin and Romer Labs. Two smaller units of the Erber Group (Sanphar and EFB, representing 7% of sales) are excluded from the transaction. This acquisition provides DSM with a market-leading entry into mycotoxin risk management and expands its portfolio of high-value "Eubiotics" (gut health) solutions. The transaction is debt-financed and is expected to be earnings-enhancing in the first year.
ERBER GROUP, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2020, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN premium to the 10.1x average currently observed in the AgriFood sector.
