Steel & Tube Holdings Limited (NZX: STU) confirms the settlement today of the acquisition of the assets and

business of Perry Metal Protection, Perry Grating and Waikato Sand Blasting.


The total acquisition price is $43.3m, with a potential additional payment of up to $6m based on the financial

performance of the assets over a 2-3 year period, post-acquisition. Payment of both the initial acquisition price

and any performance payment is 70% in cash (bank borrowing) and 30% in newly issued equity. In line with

this, 15,476,755 shares have been issued today. The acquisition price represents a 3 year historical EBITDA (pre

NZ IFRS16 Leases) multiple of 5x.


Perry Metal Protection is New Zealand’s largest and only ISO certified hot dip galvanising business. In addition

to the galvanising business (90% of the earnings of the operations to be acquired), the transaction also

includes smaller grating and sandblasting businesses. The acquisition is expected to be earnings accretive from

day one and adds 1.5 cents per share in earnings in the first 12 months.


CEO of Steel & Tube, Mark Malpass, said: “Steel & Tube is already a leading provider of steel and metal

products and solutions in New Zealand. With the addition of Perry Metal Protection’s expertise and nationwide

galvanizing services, our customers now have access to a seamless, end-to -end steel solution, from sourcing

and processing to premium corrosion protection solutions.


“Our customer bases are highly aligned, providing cross-selling opportunities. Steel & Tube’s national branch

and freight network also add value, significantly expanding the drop-off service for galvanising customers.

Perry Metal Protection has a reputation for delivering durable, high-quality galvanizing services that enhance

the longevity and performance of steel products, and we are excited to welcome them to the Steel & Tube

group.”

Hot Dip Galvanising

Protects steel from corrosion, extends life of steel up to 7x

MAKE

Galvanizing maximises

durability, reuse and

recycling

USE

Durable coating that

can last around 7x

longer than uncoated

steel

RE-USE

Easily dismantled for

reuse in multiple life

cycles. The coating

stays with the steel

component in its next

life cycle

RE-MAKE

Repurposing of

products is often

possible without

regalvanising

RECYCYLE

Steel and zinc can be

recycled together

without loss of

properties if the long

life of galvanized steel

eventually ends

•Provides a thick, durable and uniform zinc coating that

protects steel for decades

•Excellent for harsh outdoor, industrial or coastal

conditions

•Hot-dip process coats internal surfaces, essential for

structural integrity

•Once galvanised, steel requires little to no maintenance

•Higher initial cost but lower life-cycle cost due to long life

and no repainting

•Common in infrastructure projects where a 50+ year

lifespan is expected

•Once the coating has been consumed, the item can be re-

galvanized and returned to service for the same period

time yet again

•Approximately half of worldwide steel production goes to

replacing rusted steel

7

•High value service and products, in line with Steel & Tube’s investment strategy

•Provides earnings consistency throughout the cycle

•Market leading position in hot dip galvanising
