Regulatory press release

Lindab's divestment of Astron Building Systems has received anti-trust approval

Lindab International
Read the release

In September, Lindab signed an agreement for the divestment of Business Area Building Systems, which is Lindab's division for steel buildings sold under the Astron brand. The buyer is the French construction company Groupe Briand. The acquisition is subject to anti-trust approval in Russia, which has now been obtained. The closing process has thus been initiated.

In 2020, Astron's sales amounted to SEK 946 million, which corresponded to approximately 10 percent of Lindab's total sales. The adjusted operating margin was 5.9 percent. The business area employed 692 people at the end of 2020.

The decision and agreement for the divestment resulted in that Building Systems from the end of the third quarter 2021 is reported as asset held for sale/discontinued operations. During the quarter one-off items and restructuring costs of SEK -432 m were reported due to the divestment, of which SEK -380 m was related to impairment of goodwill. Final effect related to the divestment is determined at the change of ownership and will be reported in the annual statement. The one-off items and res­tructuring costs are mainly not affecting cash flow. The purchase price will primarily be offset against the business cash and cash equivalents and advances from customers. The transaction is therefore, not expected to have any larger impact on Lindab's total cash flow.
