I read through the entire thread, and I also need to practice using the search function. Thanks for the clear answers

Hello! Our search function seems to be working poorly; I believe it has been mentioned much more often historically. But the assumption has been that Smiths is a significant customer of DT. There’s no factual basis for this, as it’s not a public reference. However, on CMD’s slides, DT stated that 3/4 of the major players in Security CT are the company’s customers, so the probabilities likely support this assumption.   In principle, yes, but since the plan is unknown, it’s impossible to estimate the outcome.  Yes, I believe the pricing power is reasonably good, although there’s always a certain amount of pressure, and price is also a function of volumes. However, DT, in my understanding, faces significantly greater pressure with Medical giants, where volumes are an order of magnitude larger, and there’s more competition. I wouldn’t expect better terms; margins will more likely come from renewable products and, on the other hand, from improving our own cost-effectiveness. This is a business subject to price erosion, but the margin level has been maintained quite well.

I can only find two mentions of Smiths in this thread using the search function. Is Smiths an OEM customer of Deete? If so, one could assume Smiths will invest even more in growth with the new owner, thus benefiting Deete as well. What kind of pricing power does Deete have with such a customer? Smiths is probably also trying to improve its margins by negotiating better terms for itself (when the contract expires),

So, that’s done, probably a good thing for the overall picture. The valuation seems relatively moderate: with the realized result, EV/EBIT 16.3x and EV/EBITDA 12.5x. Not any astounding multiples, but it’s hard to say more precisely without a stronger view on the company’s earnings growth outlook. But let’s just say that in a competitive situation, one might have expected higher multiples - and I guess bids were requested from all relevant parties. For DT, it’s probably good that the matter is progressing and everyday life is approaching. CVC is hardly an ideal buyer compared to an industrial buyer, but it probably doesn’t have much significance. At least they didn’t mention any major plans in the industry, but who knows.

Here is Smiths’ own statement  Proposed Transaction highlights ·          Highly attractive valuation: the enterprise value of £2.0bn represents a multiple of 16.3x headline operating profit of £122m and 12.5x headline EBITDA of £160m for the financial year ending 31 July 2025.

Yep, Hannu, however, owns 2.95% of the company and was already the largest individual owner, after which the threshold for new purchases is likely high. He has a lot of skin in the game. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will show in the end result, but it’s a small positive signal for me at least.

DT reports Q3 results on Oct 30. Q3 will be another weak quarter, while Q4 could be relatively better. DT’s earnings slump this year, but valuation is quite low relative to potential.
