Insights
The acquisition by 1847 Holdings LLC of a millwork, cabinetry and door manufacturer represents a strategic move in their expansion within the construction supply chain. The financial details disclosed, including the revenue and EBITDA multiples, are significant metrics. A purchase price of 3.2x EBITDA is below the industry average, which often ranges from 4x to 6x for manufacturing firms, suggesting a potentially value-accretive deal for 1847 Holdings. Financing the transaction entirely through debt could leverage the company's balance sheet, but it also depends on the interest rates and terms of the debt. If favorable, it could enhance earnings per share and return on equity without diluting current shareholders.
The decision to keep the newly acquired entity separate from 1847's existing operations under the Signature Home Craft brand indicates a strategic move to diversify market exposure and reduce risk. The focus on commercial, mixed-use and high-density residential markets could tap into different demand cycles compared to SHC's residential focus, potentially stabilizing revenue streams. Furthermore, the western US construction market has been showing resilience and growth, which may provide a favorable environment for the acquisition to thrive. However, the integration of the new acquisition and the management of two distinct brands will require careful strategic planning to avoid cannibalization and maintain brand integrity.
The acquisition's timing coincides with a period of economic recovery where construction activity is expected to grow, especially in the western US. The almost one year's worth of contracted backlog provides a short-term revenue visibility, which is encouraging. However, the long-term success of this acquisition will depend on broader economic factors such as interest rates, which affect borrowing costs and the overall health of the construction sector. The use of debt financing amidst rising interest rates could pose a risk to the company's profitability if not managed properly. The acquisition could also be seen as a counter-cyclical move, preparing 1847 Holdings for the next upswing in construction activity.
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC ("1847" or the "Company") (NYSE American:EFSH), a holding company specializing in identifying over-looked, deep value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today announced the execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire a large, established millwork, cabinetry and door manufacturer based in Las Vegas, NV.
The Las Vegas-based target generated approximately
"This is a very attractive acquisition for our Company," commented Ellery Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings. "We have strong industry insights into the western US market for construction and the end market demand for cabinets, doors and millwork in particular. We intend to keep this transaction separate from our existing cabinet operations under the Signature Home Craft (SHC) brand. We see these as two separate paths for independent value creation, with SHC focused on residential, and the new target focused on commercial, mixed-use, and high density residential."
"We negotiated compelling transaction terms, and we believe we can successfully complete this transaction without a need to raise any additional equity at this time. We see this as a uniquely accretive opportunity that we believe will drive shareholder value," concluded Mr. Roberts.
About 1847 Holdings LLC
1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American:EFSH), a publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings' investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses it views as "solid" for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings' ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.

All forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future economic performance, taking into account the information currently available to it. These statements are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to us, that may cause our actual results, performance or financial condition to be materially different from the expectations of future results, performance or financial position.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation
This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release is adjusted EBITDA of the proposed acquisition target described above (the "Target"). The financial measures are not audited and are subject to change in connection with the audit of such numbers.
The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management, however, believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP, although unaudited, may provide a more complete understanding of the Target's results and may facilitate a fuller analysis of Target's results. Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of results and to illustrate the results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliation described in the next paragraph. Furthermore, the economic substance behind our decision to use such non-GAAP measures is that such measures approximate the Target's controllable operating performance more closely than the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
As noted above, the non-GAAP measure is adjusted EBITDA of the Target, which is net income adjusted for the items described in the table below.
