Strategic transaction worth Euro 23.41 million that strengthens the Leisure channel and the presence in the United States
Sant'Agata Feltria (Rimini), 13 June 2025 - Indel B S.p.A. - a company listed on Euronext Milan of Borsa Italiana, heading a group active in the production of refrigeration and air conditioning systems for the Automotive, Hospitality and Leisure time sectors (pleasure boating and recreational vehicles) - announces that it has today completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the share capital of Indel Webasto Marine Srl (the "Target" or "IWM"), in which it already held a 50% stake. The transaction leads Indel B to hold 100% of the Target, thanks to the purchase of the shareholding held by Webasto Roof & Components SE (the "Transaction").
The total consideration for the transaction amounts to Euro 23.41 million, calculated using a multiple of about seven times the Target company's 2024 EBITDA, adjusted for the net financial position as of 31 December 2024.
The payment of the consideration was settled in full today via bank transfer.
IWM offers a wide range of products, including refrigerators and freezers (both built-in and portable), ice makers, wine coolers, water heaters, and safes for the nautical sector.
The Transaction represents a fundamental strategic step for the Indel B Group, fitting into its path of strategic growth, and allows it to:
strengthen its presence in the Leisure segment, thanks to the complete managerial autonomy of the Target company and the possibility of planning further developments in the sector, including potential projects for growth through external lines;
enhance commercial penetration in the North American market through the subsidiary Indel Webasto Marine USA, which is active and firmly rooted in the United States.
The main economic and financial indicators of IWM, pertaining to the year ended 31 December 2024, are reported below.
