Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, completed the sale of its Specialty Vehicle Technologies Segment (“Club Car”) to the global private equity firm Platinum Equity. Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX), implemented throughout the divestiture process, enabled the company to over deliver on its commitment to complete the sale by the third quarter of 2021.
The all-cash transaction, valued at $1.68 billion (approximately 12.1x 2020 Specialty Vehicle Technologies Segment Adjusted EBITDA), materially reduces Ingersoll Rand’s net leverage to <1.0x and provides significant capital flexibility. The company will use the capital to create long-term value for stockholders, including significant organic and inorganic investment into core, sustainability-oriented, mission-critical flow creation technologies and industrial solutions supported by long-term growth trends.
In addition:
The Specialty Vehicle Technologies Segment is not included in the company’s 2021 guidance that was reviewed during Q1 earnings call on April 29, 2021.
Results from the Specialty Vehicle Technologies Segment will be reported in discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2021 and comparable prior periods will be recast on a consistent basis.
