Tensar Financials Revealed
Tensar’s 2021 EBITDA was approximately $60 million according to CMC, which is around 7.5% of CMC’s Fitch-calculated fiscal 2021 EBITDA of $806 million. The acquisition size is significant but the majority of earnings will continue to be generated from CMC’s steel production. Fitch believes the Tensar acquisition will benefit overall EBITDA margins as the company has significantly higher margins compared with CMC. Fitch expects CMC’s total debt/EBITDA to peak around 2.0x in fiscal 2022, pro forma the transaction, and views the acquisition as neutral to CMC’s credit ratings. CMC expects the acquisition to close in the first half of the 2022 calendar year with a purchase price of $550 million.
