Lassila & Tikanoja to sell its 50% cut in Recoil<br />
The facts: Lassila & Tikanoja has agreed to sell its 50% holding in the joint<br />
venture L&T Recoil to EcoStream, the co-owner of the JV. L&T Recoil‟s<br />
regeneration plant produces raw material i.e. base oil for the lubricant industry<br />
using different types of waste oil. It has a capacity of 60,000 tonnes a year.<br />
Our analysis: The consideration comprises EUR 10m in cash and slightly less<br />
than 20% of EcoStream‟s share capital. The transaction, which the two intend to<br />
complete by the end of Q2, will have a positive cash flow effect of EUR 10m and a<br />
neutral EBIT impact. A similar arrangement was on the table in 2010 already, but<br />
then the parties failed to reach a final agreement. The transaction is conditional on<br />
the completion of the share issue decided by EcoStream‟s <strong>AG</strong>M in April.<br />
Conclusion & Action: L&T Recoil‟s earnings figures are not published<br />
separately, but in recent years the unit‟s performance has been mostly<br />
unsatisfactory. The exit is a significant step in the company‟s restructuring as it<br />
releases capital for the development of core operations, as well as improving<br />
earnings predictability.<br />
