Sensata Technologies To Acquire Schrader International

Schrader is expected to generate approximately $550 million in revenue in 2014.

ALMELO, Netherlands & DENVER, Colo. – Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. announced that its wholly owned indirect subsidiary Sensata Technologies B.V. has reached agreement to acquire the Schrader group of companies from Madison Dearborn Partners LLC for a total enterprise value of $1 billion.  
 
Schrader is a global leader in tire pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS). Sensata is a leading global supplier of sensing, electrical protection, control and power management solutions with operations and business centers in 11 countries. The transaction provides TPMS and additional low-pressure sensing capabilities that address large and fast-growing sensing markets and adds to Sensata’s leading sensing position. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2014.
 
Schrader is headquartered in Denver, Colo., and has sales and engineering offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Japan and South Korea. Manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Brazil and China. Schrader employs 2,500 people globally, including more than 300 engineers. Schrader is expected to generate approximately $550 million in revenue in 2014.
 
Schrader pioneered TPMS for global OEMs, a safety feature now standard on all cars in North America and growing globally in Europe and Asia. Fuel economy and safety regulations in each region are driving the rapid adoption of TPMS and Schrader has obtained more than 50 percent market share in these regions.
 
"The acquisition of Schrader extends Sensata’s leadership position in pressure sensing and provides further access to a rapidly growing $2 billion low-pressure sensor market where the largest current opportunity is in TPMS," said Martha Sullivan, Sensata Technologies president and CEO. "Additionally, Schrader’s expertise in MEMS sensing, wireless communications and ASIC design will be highly complementary; we are excited to welcome this talented team into Sensata’s global organization."
 
"Today is an exciting day as we move into the next phase in the evolution of Schrader. The addition of Schrader to Sensata’s product portfolio makes sense strategically and operationally; we are aligned on our plans to continue to grow the business," said Hugh Charvat, Schrader chairman, president and CEO. "I would like to thank Madison Dearborn Partners for their partnership over the past few years. Their commitment and advice have helped us surpass our ambitious goals."
 
"The purchase price represents less than a 10 times multiple on estimated 2015 stand-alone EBITDA," added Paul Vasington, Sensata Technologies CFO. "While we expect Schrader to be 13 cents to 16 cents dilutive to adjusted earnings per share in 2014, we expect Schrader to be 18 cents to 21 cents accretive in 2015, provide 50 cents to 55 cents of accretion after integration and debt pay-down and provide an additional 18 cents to 22 cents accretion when China ramps adoption of TPMS."
 
Barclays Bank PLC and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. have committed to provide debt financing to support the transaction. Centerview Partners acted as financial adviser and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP acted as legal adviser to Sensata Technologies. Barclays, Citigroup and Guggenheim Securities LLC acted as financial advisers and Kirkland & Ellis LLP acted as legal adviser to Schrader International.
