Elektron Technology plc
(AIM: EKT, "Elektron", the "Company" or the "Group")
Sale of Carnation Designs
Elektron Technology plc, the global technology group, has completed the sale of the business and assets (excluding trade debtors) of Carnation Designs ("CD"), to Ring Automotive Limited for a total gross consideration of approximately GBP0.23 million cash. Elektron has retained CD's trade debtors and creditors which should realise a further GBP0.1 million in net cash once settled. CD is a manufacturer of electrical management solutions for the specialised emergency and commercial vehicles markets.
In the year ended 31 January 2016 the business of CD traded as a brand within Elektron Technology Limited ("ETUK") with sales of GBP1.83 million and 'Brand Contribution' of GBP0.4 million. Brand Contribution is an internal measure of profitability before the allocation of certain Group pooled costs such as finance, information technology and human resources. After making a deduction for a fair share of these costs the Board estimates CD's operating profit to be GBP0.1m for the year ended 31 January 2016. The total gross consideration represents the approximate net value of the CD assets being transferred.
In the seven months to 31 August 2016 CD saw a fall in revenues to approximately GBP0.75 million (seven months to 31 August 2016: GBP0.98 million) and its contribution was not material to the Group.
The cash proceeds will be used by Elektron for working capital purposes.
As previously announced, the sale is part of the Group's rationalisation of its portfolio, focusing its investment on the core segments of Connectivity, IMC (Instrumentation, Monitoring and Control) portfolio and Checkit. Elektron is continuing to transform its business, building a technology led company through its strategy of innovation, streamlining operations and investing in infrastructure, people and capabilities.
