 Aryzta to sell businesses in North America, Latin America as part of strategic plan19 DEC 2020Baked goods manufacturer Aryzta[SWX:ARYN] said it plans to sell off its businesses in North America and Latin America as part of a new strategic plan that will see it focusing on its European and APAC markets. The company said it has received a large number of expressions of interest for various parts of its portfolio following the appointment of financial advisers in November to review its portfolio. Press release:ARYZTA is pleased to update the market about the next steps of its strategic plan. The Board would like to thank shareholders for the overwhelming support at the AGM held on 15 December. Shareholders elected a strong, unified new board with robust bakery, financial, governance, and turnaround expertise. The Board looks forward to implementing the new strategic plan and creating sustainable value for all shareholders and stakeholders.The Board collectively believes that ARYZTA is a fundamentally solid business with dedicated employees, well-invested assets, and leading market positions, serving the world’s most successful retailers, QSR, and food service companies. Our plan focuses on reshaping our core business and core markets to “best-in-class” performance for the bakery sector, our food quality, and our customer experiences and relationships.ARYZTA has had a tumultuous few years. It is clear from the feedback from all our stakeholders (shareholders, customers, suppliers, lenders, and employees) that it has been a painful, uncertain and destructive period for all. The newly formed Board is committed to bringing this chapter in ARYZTA’s history to a close. The last three months have confirmed shareholders’ desire to get ARYZTA finally back on track and our two-part plan is already in the process of being executed. First, the preparation for the disposal of selective businesses to reduce the company’s indebtedness is in progress. Secondly, we have taken the first steps to improve the remaining business’s performance to at least peer-equivalent operational and financial metrics.  Concerning the disposal of selected businesses, financial advisers were appointed in November to assist in this process. Furthermore, ARYZTA has received a high number of expressions of interest for various other parts of its portfolio.The Board now confirms that our strategy is to focus on our Europe and APAC markets and to dispose of our businesses in both North America and Latin America. Our engagement with interested parties for these businesses is progressing well and we have already communicated this to our key customers in these regions. As outlined previously, we expect to secure sufficient proceeds to significantly reduce debt levels over the next six to nine months. We will also ensure that we have a smooth transition plan in place in North America and Latin America to safeguard the interests of our customers and employees, our service levels as well as, our product standards. We will update the market on progress in due course. Regarding our plans to improve the operational performance of the remaining Europe and APAC businesses, the preparations for implementation are well-advanced. By the end of 2021, we expect to secure at least a 25% reduction in central overhead costs as we move to a multi-local, lean, and more agile business model. The process to remove central costs has already started as we simplify operations and make local and country management responsible for all their costs and profit delivery targets. This will also result in improvements  in our customer engagement experience through faster decision-making, shorter new product innovation lead times, improved customer service, and enhanced quality control responses.ARYZTA’s FY 2019 EBITDA margin of 9% was the lowest among its European peer group - with the best performance some 60% higher at 16.5% (Company-sourced analysis of European peers). ARYZTA has scale and capability advantages that support our minimum target to improve our EBITDA margin run rate to the peer median level (c.12.5%) by simplifying our business and moving to a multi-local model. We expect that this will be achieved within the next two years.ARYZTA operates in growing markets and many of its European competitors are mid-sized privately owned businesses with succession issues. Once we have improved our performance and reduced our debt levels, ARYZTA will have the potential to actively participate in this likely market consolidation process. We also envisage a return to sustainable organic growth over the next two to three years as our locally empowered business model improves its innovation power and new contract win rate. The imminent rollout of COVID-19 vaccines significantly improves the FY 2021 prospects for a strong recovery in our foodservice financial performance, which has been severely negatively impacted by the ongoing range of government restrictions across all our markets. The Board remains confident that our strategy of simple, practical, and prudent measures will enhance value for all of ARYZTA’s stakeholders.

As a result of such progress, the VERAISON SICAV Engagement Fund has reduced the shareholding (SIX disclosure of today). The engagement has developed very positively since the position was built up in March 2020, with a performance of over 100%. In addition to contributing previously missing competencies (industry expertise and finance) in the Board of Directors, the necessary simplification of the business model was initiated and a credible plan for the company's continued independence was launched. The positive developments have revived the confidence of new investors and existing analysts. Thanks to the focus on a core region by means of divestments, debt will be reduced and the continued independence of the company will be secured. The renewal of the Board of Directors was achieved in two steps and is an essential prerequisite for the successful development of Aryzta in the future.VERAISON is not participating in the speculation about a possible takeover. We are convinced that the Board of Directors protects the interests of all shareholders in connection with a takeover bid in accordance with its fiduciary duties. We are pleased with the significant progress and remain invested.Kind regards,The VERAISON-Team

 Aryzta bidder Elliott unlikely to face rivals despite shareholder concerns about offer price02 DEC 2020Even as Aryzta [SWX:ARYN] investors gripe about its offer price, Elliott Management is unlikely to face a credible rival bidder in its attempt to take the Swiss-Irish baked goods company private, two sources familiar with the situation told this news service.Elliott confirmed its CHF 0.8/share indicative offer for the Swiss bakery last month (23 November). This price was in turn rejected as too low by shareholders Cobas Asset Management, Valorvento and Lodbrok Capital, as reported. Cobas further called on the board to not help Elliott with funding arrangements and urged impartiality from board members on the offer, as reported.Despite these protests, another bidder is unlikely to best Elliott, one of the sources said. He pitched to private equity funds far and wide, he said, but found none wanting to exceed Elliott’s bid. Aryzta’s indebtedness – in October it reported EUR 1.05bn (CHF 1.14bn) in net debt, dwarfing its CHF 641m market cap – is another deterrent, he said. Elliott’s bid puts Aryzta’s equity value at CHF 735m.Talks with Elliott are “far advanced” and the “main show”, the other source said.Meanwhile, Aryzta is pressing on with a hoped-for EUR 600m-800m in piecemeal disposals, for which it has mandated Houlihan Lokey and Alantra, as reported. This is the route preferred by Cobas and fellow activist Veraison Capital; last summer, both pushed for the firm to avoid a full takeover and instead realise value by disposing of individual assets.Rothschild, which last summer advised Aryzta as it entertained a takeover and dealt with Cobas’s and Veraison’s ultimately successful campaign to install new board members, is still working for the board on Elliott’s whole-of-company proposal, both sources said.Lodbrok wants to further shake up the company’s board by having shareholders vote on approval of each board member separately, rather than as a whole board, at the 15 December AGM, as reported. Aryzta is paying scant attention to this demand, one of the sources said.Elliott and Aryzta declined to comment.by Deane McRobie in London

Yo creo que lo mejor para tu salud y para la de los miembros de este hilo es que vendas tu participación en Cobas y si aún te quedan ganas de value te vayas a AzValor o Magallanes, seguro que los foreros de otros hilos te recibirán con los brazos abiertos =)
