Insights

Financial Analyst

The sale of High Mountain Door & Trim (HMDT) for $17 million represents a significant transaction for 1847 Holdings, especially considering the company's total market cap of just $315,251. The sale price at more than double the original purchase price demonstrates strong value creation, despite HMDT's recent net loss of $2.3 million.

The unit's financial performance shows some concerning metrics - while generating $30 million in revenue, it posted an operating loss and required significant adjustments to reach positive EBITDA of $2.8 million. The sale multiple of approximately 6x adjusted EBITDA appears reasonable for the industry. The transaction provides important liquidity for 1847 Holdings, though investors should note that a portion will be reinvested rather than returned to shareholders.

M&A Specialist

This divestiture demonstrates textbook private equity value creation - buying an undervalued asset, improving operations and selling at a premium. The inclusion of a working capital adjustment in the sale terms is standard but important, as it protects the buyer from potential cash flow manipulation. The sale to Builders FirstSource, an industry leader, likely commanded a better multiple than a sale to a smaller strategic buyer or financial sponsor would have achieved.

The timing appears opportunistic given HMDT's recent performance challenges, suggesting skilled negotiation to achieve the premium price despite operational headwinds. The $17 million exit provides strong validation of 1847's business model and acquisition strategy.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 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 provided further detail on the previously announced, successful sale of High Mountain Door & Trim Inc. ("HMDT"), a division of 1847 Cabinets, to Builders FirstSource, Inc., the largest U.S. supplier of building products, prefabricated components, and value-added services to the professional market segment for new residential construction and repair and remodeling. The Company reports it completed the sale for approximately $17 million, more than double the original purchase price.

Based in Reno, Nevada, and founded in 2014, HMDT specializes in finished carpentry products and services. The sale agreement includes a working capital adjustment and other standard terms. 1847 plans to reinvest part of the proceeds to continue its strategy of identifying, operating, and selling undervalued assets.

Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, "This transaction is a key milestone for 1847, exemplifying our model of enhancing asset value prior to sale. The capital generated will reinforce our financial foundation, support new growth initiatives, and enable potential acquisitions that align with our value creation strategy. The fact we sold this business for $17 million further highlights the significant disparity between the market valuation of 1847 and the true value of our portfolio, underscoring 1847 as a compelling investment opportunity."

For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024, HMDT recorded preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $30.0 million, net loss of approximately $2.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.8 million (see reconciliation to GAAP below).

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.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million for the trailing twelve months ended Q3 2024. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, earnings as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful by enhancing the readers' ability to understand the Company's operating performance. The Company's management utilizes EBITDA as means to measure performance.
