Deal rationale and strategic fit
Trèves is the global No. 4 in automotive acoustics and thermal management, with FY2025 revenue of ~EUR 720 million, ~4,600 employees and 26 production sites in 15 countries.
Trèves adds powertrain, trunk, acoustic and thermal-management products, complementing strengths in body and interior products.
The acquisition supports the Level Up strategy by adding manufacturing and customer coverage in Romania, Morocco and Brazil, reaching 1.5 million additional vehicles.
Combined R&D capabilities are expected to support joint launches and innovation, including recyclable monomaterial carpets, EV-related technologies and sustainable materials.
Financial terms and conditions
Upfront consideration is EUR 40 million: EUR 7.5 million in cash and EUR 32.5 million in newly issued shares; share value is based on the 90-day average price before transfer.
Earn-out of up to EUR 24 million may be payable based on EBITDA improvements and synergies realized by 2029; total consideration is capped at EUR 64 million.
Trèves family and Fonds Avenir Automobile will receive shares subject to a three-year lock-up.
Consideration implies ~3.1x EV/EBITDA post-synergies; enterprise value is more than EUR 300 million, including the earn-out.
A CHF 200 million senior unsecured term loan supports operations, refinancing and working capital; closing net debt/EBITDA is projected at ~2.0x, with a medium-term target below 1.5x.
Synergies and expected cost savings
Annual synergies are expected to exceed CHF 50 million, ramping up in 2027–2028 and fully effective by 2029; implementation and restructuring costs are estimated at CHF 60 million.
Levers include procurement scale, increased in-house sourcing and base-material capacity, SG&A consolidation, and manufacturing footprint optimization and utilization.
EPS accretion is expected from 2028; Trèves is profitable at EBITDA and EBIT level, with a 6%–8% EBIT margin corridor expected after synergies.
