Shawcor Sells its Lake Superior Consulting Business
September 06 2022 - 6:30AM
Shawcor Ltd. (“Shawcor” or the “Company”) (TSX: SCL) announced that
it has sold its Lake Superior Consulting (“LSC”) operating unit to
a private investment group, including members of LSC management, in
a transaction generating approximately C$8 million in gross
proceeds. The LSC business, reported within the Company’s Pipeline
and Pipe Services (“PPS”) segment, offers engineering, consulting
and field inspection services to the US onshore pipeline and
broader energy infrastructure markets. It generated revenue of
approximately C$59 million with neutral adjusted EBITDA during the
full year of 2021 and generated revenue of approximately C$26
million with an adjusted EBITDA loss of C$1 million during the
first half of 2022. Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce
the Company’s existing indebtedness.
“This sale further demonstrates Shawcor’s
strategic ongoing commitment to create an optimized business
portfolio, prioritizing the development and delivery of
differentiated, high value solutions in support of industrial and
critical infrastructure end markets,” said Mike Reeves, President
and CEO of Shawcor. “I would like to express my gratitude to the
employees of LSC for their many contributions to Shawcor and wish
them great success under their new ownership.”
With the completion of this transaction, the
Company’s PPS reporting segment now consists of two operating
units: the Pipeline Performance Group business, which provides
pipeline coating solutions; and the Integrity Management business,
which provides non-destructive testing solutions to the US onshore
and global offshore markets.
