CLEVELAND, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TransDigm
Group Incorporated (NYSE: TDG) announced today that it has entered
into a definitive agreement to acquire PneuDraulics, Inc.
("PneuDraulics" or "the Company") for approximately $325 million in cash. The purchase price includes
approximately $107 million of tax
benefits to be realized by TransDigm over a 15 year period
beginning in 2015. TransDigm expects to finance the acquisition
through existing cash on hand.
Located in Rancho Cucamonga,
California, PneuDraulics employs approximately 275 people.
The Company manufactures proprietary, highly engineered aerospace
pneumatic and hydraulic components and sub-systems for commercial
transport, regional, business jet and military applications. Nearly
100% of the revenues are proprietary. Aftermarket content accounts
for approximately 35% of the revenues, while commercial aerospace
content accounts for approximately 85% of the revenues.
W. Nicholas Howley, Chairman and
CEO of TransDigm Group Incorporated, stated, "PneuDraulics is a
long standing manufacturer of proprietary, sole source products
with established positions on a number of high use platforms,
strong aftermarket content and an outstanding reputation. The
highly engineered products will allow us to expand our content on a
number of substantial platforms, including Boeing 787 and Airbus
A350. PneuDraulics fits well with our consistent product and
acquisition strategy. As with all TransDigm acquisitions, we see
opportunities for significant value creation."
The acquisition, which is expected to close before the end of
fiscal year 2015, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary
closing conditions.
