Swallowfield has acquired Brand Architekts, a highly profitable portfolio of beauty & personal care brands with excellent growth potential. This is a transformational deal, establishing critical mass in SWL’s owned brand portfolio, one of its 4 key strategic pillars, and strengthening growth prospects. It is paying £11m (£8m new equity) for the business which enhances EPS by 29% and materially enhances EBITDA margins (c10% by FY’19) and cash generation. The additional scale and growth suggests potential to become a £100m revenue/£10m EBITDA business in the future.
