(Alliance News) - Senior PLC on Thursday said it has acquired Spencer Aerospace Manufacturing LLC, a Valencia, California-based maker of high-pressure hydraulic fluid fittings for use in commercial and military aerospace applications.

Senior, a Hertfordshire, England-based maker of engineering components, will pay USD60 million in cash, half now and half in 12 months, plus up to USD40 million more in milestone payments based on Spencer's financial performance. Senior said the acquisition will be funded from its existing borrowing facilities.

The purchase is expected to be completed in the third quarter and is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first full year of ownership, Senior said.

Spencer is expected to book earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of at least USD1 million in 2022, on revenue of at least USD12 million. The US company is seeing strong growth, Senior said, and the final earnout milestone would be payable upon Spencer's annual revenue reaching USD40 million.

"While we already have some fluid fitting expertise within Senior, our customers have been strongly encouraging us to increase our presence in this area and our combined expertise and market reach will allow us to respond decisively and rapidly grow associated revenues," said Senior Chief Executive Officer David Squires.

Senior shares were up 1.0% at 129.10 pence early Thursday in London.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst's estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock's fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn't. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
