Incap acquires Lacon which has production sites in Germany and in Romania. Lacon has customers in defence, railway and medical technology sectors which could be hard to get on organic basis. Acquisition price is EUR 50m indicating EV/EBIT of ~12x in 2025E we calculate (Incap EV/EBIT 2025E 8.6x, Sector median EV/EBIT 12x 2026E). Lacon offer even ~30% revenue growth for Incap. However, Lacon’s revenue growth could be negative in 2025 y/y as was the case in 2024. Lacon's EBITDA margin has been 9-10% in 2023-25E (Incap 15%). The transaction will be financed with cash and a bank loan of EUR 30m. Regardless Incap's and Lacon's organic growth could be negative in 2025E, the transaction offers more defence related business and could be positive trigger for the equity story.
