Acquisition completion

Porvair plc ("Porvair" or the "Group"), the specialist filtration, laboratory and environmental technology group, announces that on 14 July 2023 it completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of two businesses, Ratiolab GmbH and Ratiolab Kft. (together "Ratiolab"), following receipt of Hungarian regulatory approval.

As previously announced, Ratiolab GmbH, located outside Frankfurt, sells a wide range of laboratory consumables in Europe and the Middle East. Ratiolab Kft., located close to Budapest, manufactures laboratory consumables in an 8,000m² facility, the freehold of which is included in the acquisition. Ratiolab has annual external revenues of around €12 million. The transaction is expected to be earnings neutral (after acquisition costs) in 2023, and earnings enhancing thereafter.

The Board believes Ratiolab will fit well into the Group's Laboratory division, offering a complementary product range and adding European manufacturing capabilities, injection moulding expertise, and routes to market.
