PRT Offshore is based in Houston, Texas, and is the only company
to provide a complete Hook-to-Hanger™ solution enabling
comprehensive well completions, interventions, and decommissioning
services from surface to subsea. Its unique system is designed to
allow customers to access the wellbore safely and efficiently, all
while reducing personnel on board.
The acquisition will enable Expro to expand its portfolio of
cost-effective, technology-enabled services and solutions within
the subsea well access sector in the North and Latin America (NLA)
region and accelerate the growth of PRT Offshore’s surface
equipment offering in the Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA) and
Asia Pacific (APAC) regions.
Michael Jardon, Expro Chief Executive Officer, said: “This is an
exciting day for both PRT Offshore and Expro as we strengthen and
expand our subsea well access technology offering while continuing
to deliver value to our customers across the life of their
wells.
“Our subsea well access portfolio has a well-established global
footprint, especially in the ESSA and APAC regions. We believe this
will offer significant growth opportunities for PRT Offshore in
these attractive markets. Simultaneously, Expro plans to leverage
PRT Offshore’s strong position in deepwater offshore well
completion and intervention across the NLA region to provide
integrated solutions to our customers.
“We look forward to building on our 40-year track record in
subsea and welcoming the skilled PRT Offshore team to the Expro
family.”
PRT Offshore President Patrick Placer commented on the
acquisition: “We are looking forward to embarking on this next
phase of our journey with Expro. This agreement is an exciting
development for PRT Offshore as we integrate our technology,
solutions, and expertise with Expro’s market-leading subsea well
access portfolio.
“We are excited to continue our best-in-class responsiveness and
service quality, as well as leverage the resources of a more robust
platform. Our employees, vital and valued, are at the forefront of
this transaction, and we are committed to fostering their growth
and success in this new chapter. Building on the foundation we have
created, this acquisition will open new opportunities for growth,
innovation, and success for our company, customers, and
employees.”
PRT Offshore employs approximately 90 people across Texas and
Louisiana in the US.
The total consideration to be paid at closing is approximately
$106 million, including $62 million of cash and $44 million of
newly issued Expro shares. Potential additional consideration will
be based on PRT Offshore’s financial performance during the four
quarters following closing. Excluding possible cost and revenue
synergies, total consideration is expected to be approximately 4.0x
PRT Offshore’s estimated 2023 and 2024 Adjusted EBITDA.
RBC Capital Markets is serving as exclusive financial advisor to
Expro and Womble Bond Dickenson is acting as legal counsel on the
