Domo signs strategic collaboration agreement with AWS for AI solutions
Investing.com -- Loomis (LON:0JYZ) AB has announced the acquisition of Burroughs, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, Loomis US Holding Inc. The initial purchase price for the acquisition is $72 million, with a potential earn-out, on a cash and debt-free basis. This move aligns with Loomis’ previously communicated strategy to expand its ATM and Automated Solutions services by acquiring new capabilities.
Burroughs, a leading player in the industry across the U.S. and Canada, offers a comprehensive range of lifecycle management services for various device types. The company’s services include digital and on-site first- and second-line maintenance for ATMs, smart safes, and kiosks, among others. Additionally, Burroughs provides payment and transaction automation, unattended self-service technology, remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and other connected technologies. The company, which is OEM-agnostic, ensures its services are adaptable to various device types.
With a workforce of approximately 600 employees, the majority of whom are skilled service technicians, Burroughs reported revenues of $107 million in 2024.
Aritz Larrea, President and CEO of Loomis, expressed that the acquisition of Burroughs is a significant step in broadening their services surrounding ATMs and Automated Solutions in the U.S. He stated that the combined forces of the two companies will offer a comprehensive full-service ATM solution, covering both first- and second-line maintenance. This will allow Loomis to provide more services to existing customers, expand its addressable market, capture a higher market share, and position itself for profitable growth.
The initial purchase price of $72 million corresponds to a 6.5x EV/EBITDA multiple on an adjusted basis for year-end 2024 financials. The acquisition, which will be funded through available cash and existing credit lines, will not have a significant impact on the Group’s leverage.
The business will be reported within Segment USA and consolidated into Loomis as of the transaction’s closing. The closing is expected during the second quarter, subject to certain closing conditions. The management team of Burroughs will remain with the company in their current positions.
The acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the Group’s operating profit and the earnings per share of Loomis over time.
