Zebra Technologies agrees to buy Elo Holdings for $1.3 billion in cash and credit facility
Zebra Technologies signed an agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Elo Holdings from Elo Investors, L.P. for about $1.3 billion, subject to customary adjustments. The purchase is expected to be funded with cash on hand and financing from Zebra's credit facility, and closing depends on HSR antitrust clearance and other conditions. The filing does not report earnings, so the deal's effect on shareholders depends on its eventual closing and integration.
Key points
- Purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion, funded by cash on hand and Zebra's credit facility
- Elo has annual sales of approximately $400 million, according to the press release, and is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings upon closing
- Expected to generate an incremental $25 million of annual EBITDA through synergies by year three
- Transaction may close on or before August 3, 2026, or February 3, 2027 if extended; the company expects it to close in 2025
