HCLT entered into a deal to acquire the complete stake in GEOM, except for
the 58% stake the latter owns in 3DPLM Software Solutions, a JV with Dassault
Systemes.
As a consideration for this acquisition, HCLT will issue 10 shares for every 43
shares of GEOM, effectively valuing it at ~USD190m at current prices.
Dassault Systemes would wholly own 3DPLM, in exchange for which GEOM
shareholders will receive one listed redeemable preference share of INR68 per
share held, with a 7% pa preferential dividend.
2% revenue accretion, 10bp margin dilution for HCLT
In 9MFY16, GEOM (excluding 3DPLM)’s revenue totaled USD104m, and EBIT
margin stood at 8.2%. Assuming continuity of the current revenue rate and
EBIT margin sustainability at 13.5% in 3QFY16, the acquisition would add ~2%
to HCLT’s revenue and result in an EBIT margin dilution of 10bp.
While the acquisition would be accretive to earnings by 1%, the flow down to
EPS gets negated by ~1% equity share dilution.

The acquisition would strengthen HCLT’s capabilities in engineering services,
primarily PLM consulting, mechanical and manufacturing. Engineering services
has been the company’s key strategic focus area, contributing 19% to total
revenue. As part of the deal, 2,606 workers would be onboarded across 13
global delivery locations including the US, France, Germany, Romania, India
and China.
HCLT recently announced the acquisition of Volvo’s external IT business, which
registered LTM revenue of USD190m. Furthermore, GEOM lends access to
another set of top clientele that can further augment growth. In fact, HCLT’s
potential to enhance its large client base appears the strongest on paper.
The company would gain access to 60 customers due to this acquisition,
primarily in automotive (45% of revenue), industrial (22%) and aerospace
(10%). GEOM’s clientele includes some marquee names such as Chrysler, Ford,
John Deere, Aerolia and Pratt & Whitney, among others.
