As part of Advantage’s simplification efforts, the company has reduced its stake in Advantage Smollan Limited, a joint venture with the Smollan Group operating in Europe, from a majority stake of under 60% to a minority position of 49.6% in exchange for cash and other considerations.
Advantage’s resulting stake preserves a substantial interest in the European business and access to its future growth potential. Financially, the move will de-consolidate Advantage Smollan’s revenue and international cash holdings (approximately $30 million) while leaving adjusted EBITDA contribution to Advantage largely unchanged. On an annualized basis, the transaction is anticipated to reduce Advantage’s reported revenue by approximately $400 million and improve its adjusted EBITDA margin by approximately 100 basis points. In addition, Advantage expects to benefit from an operational perspective via a reduction in back-office activities such as accounting and systems management.
“While we continue to view our international business as a long-term growth lever and our investment to be strategic, we believe this change in ownership better aligns with our management of the international business and allows us to prioritize efforts on our core businesses in North America,” said Dave Peacock, Chief Executive Officer, Advantage Solutions. “We are happy with the outcome financially and excited to continue partnering with the Smollan Group as a minority shareholder in our joint venture going forward.”
Additional changes to Advantage’s international business include:
Advantage will continue to realize growth from international markets via its ongoing large minority stake in Advantage Smollan, its direct minority stake in the Smollan Group and through its wholly owned operating businesses, which include its private-brand and experiential services business units that operate in more than a dozen countries. Advantage also continues to directly operate a large business in Canada.
