蘇伊士集團今天宣布，與長期的合作伙伴新創建集團有限公司（簡稱“新創建集團”）簽署協議，收購新創建集團在大中華地區與其所有共同合作業務的非控股權益。通過此次收購，蘇伊士集團將壯大其在大中華地區的業務規模，并簡化其在大中華地區的業務運營架構。交易完成后，蘇伊士集團將持有蘇伊士新創建和蘇渝兩家公司100％股權。
強化在大中華地區這一重要增長市場的業務，已是蘇伊士集團多年以來的戰略重點。蘇伊士集團在大中華地區的投資，憑借其技術和聲譽，特別是其備受認可的合作伙伴文化，成為大中華地區環境服務的領導者。蘇伊士集團相信憑借其在大中華地區的規模以及專利技術和創新解決方案, 將為其在亞太地區的業務增長帶來巨大潛力。
此次收購符合“塑造蘇伊士2030”戰略計劃所明確部署的選擇性資本組合輪換目標。優化的集團架構將提升集團贏得大型和高附加值項目的能力，為利益相關者創造更大價值。
交易合計對價約為6.93億歐元1。以此對價收購新創建集團持有的非控股權益的相對應蘇伊士新創建和蘇渝企業價值估值為17億歐元，其中負債凈額為1.5億歐元。在2019年，這兩家公司合計稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤約1.93億歐元以及凈收入約1.13億歐元。該等交易將可增加蘇渝的聯營公司收入，同時減少蘇伊士新創建的少數股東權益，從而增厚經常性凈收入與經常性自由現金流。
作為全資擁有的業務，蘇伊士在未來幾年加速其收入和利潤增長的能力會被提升。
蘇伊士集團首席執行官康宇就此交易表示：
“逾40年來，蘇伊士集團憑借深厚的合作伙伴文化和特有的技術專長，在亞洲持續不斷地開發出創新且高附加值的解決方案，以支持此地區的可持續發展。
今天，通過收購新創建集團在蘇伊士新創建的非控股權益以及蘇渝的50%間接股權，蘇伊士集團再次堅定其在該地區投資的承諾，與當地政府、中國以及跨國企業一起，開發對氣候、自然環境要素和生活質量帶來積極影響的可持續解決方案。借此, 集團繼續鞏固其在亞洲環境服務領域領導者的地位，憑借其專業知識和技術, 使其贏得高附加值項目的獨特能力。盡管這是我們與新創建集團合作關系一個階段的結束，但我們兩個集團依然有意繼續探索其他方式的合作。
此次收購標志著我們蘇伊士2030戰略的資產輪換計劃中的又一里程碑。通過增加我們的收益，這將有助蘇伊士集團對最具價值的業務和最具增長潛力的地區進一步重新定位。”
蘇伊士新創建
2017年，蘇伊士集團將其在中國內地和港澳臺的所有水務和固廢業務整合, 并與其長期合作伙伴新創建集團成立合作公司蘇伊士新創建。此后, 蘇伊士集團持有蘇伊士新創建58％的股權, 并行使全面管理權。
今天宣布從新創建集團收購剩余42％的股權，是體現蘇伊士集團對該地區長期承諾的新一步。通過此舉措，蘇伊士集團致力于亞洲地區的發展，并鞏固了在該地區領先環保企業的地位，以把握新機遇并贏得高附加值項目。
蘇伊士集團在亞洲利用其專業知識與各地合作伙伴共同發展已有多年，每天旗下9,000名員工在30多個城市運營70多個水務和固廢項目。截至今天, 蘇伊士集團于中國為超過2,500萬居民提供供水服務。例如在重慶，蘇伊士新創建每天為220萬居民和工商業客戶提供先進的解決方案。在固廢資源管理方面，集團在過去幾年也大大擴展了其在該地區的業務，尤其是香港最大的固廢資源管理運營商，并在中國內地和臺灣運營著7座危廢處理設施。
除了提供服務之外，蘇伊士集團一直致力于對社會和經濟產生積極影響，特別是通過提供支持循環經濟和可持續發展優先事項的解決方案。
蘇渝
2015年，蘇伊士集團和新創建集團通過雙方持股比例為50/50的合作公司蘇渝，與重慶水務資產公司簽署合作協議，共同成立德潤環境。
德潤環境持有重慶水務集團50.04%的股權和重慶三峰43.86%的股權，是中國水務和固廢綜合業務的領先集團和投資平臺, 有助大力加速重慶地區創新解決方案的開放和實施。
收購新創建集團在蘇渝的50％間接股權后，蘇伊士集團將持有德潤環境25.1％的股權。通過增加其所有權，蘇伊士集團正加強與重慶水務資產公司的承諾和合作伙伴關系，也將與地方政府以及合作伙伴攜手合作，繼續開發和實施先進的解決方案，以優化對水和污水處理的管理。
該交易須經監管機構批淮及滿足慣常性交割條件，預計將于2021年第一季度完成。
SUEZ expands footprint in China with the acquisition of the non-controlling interests in its Chinese operations SUEZ NWS and Suyu
• SUEZ announces agreement to acquire NWS' non-controlling stakes in all their common businesses in Greater China for c. €693m [1]
• Acquisition will enhance SUEZ’s ability to win large-scale and high value-added contracts in a key growth market
• The purchase price values SUEZ NWS and Suyu at an Enterprise Value of c. €1.7bn
• The transactions will be immediately accretive to Recurring Net Income and Recurring FCF
• Transactions expected to close by the end of Q1 2021 [2]
SUEZ announces today that it has signed agreements with its historic partner NWS Holdings Limited (NWS) to acquire NWS’ non-controlling stakes in all their common businesses in Greater China. Through these acquisitions, SUEZ will enhance its scale in Greater China and simplify the structure of its operations in the region. Upon completion of the transactions, SUEZ will hold 100% of both SUEZ NWS and Suyu.
Enhancing SUEZ’s presence in Greater China, a key growth market, has been a strategic priority for many years. SUEZ’s investments in Greater China, carried out notably through an acknowledge partnership culture, have allowed the Group to emerge as a leader in environmental services in the region based on its technology and reputation. SUEZ believes that there is significant potential to leverage its scale in Greater China and its proprietary technology and innovative solutions to drive growth in Asia-Pacific.
These acquisitions are in line with the selective capital redeployment targets identified in the Shaping SUEZ 2030 strategic plan. The optimized Group structure will enhance the Group’s ability to win large-scale and high value-added contracts and to create more value for its stakeholders.
Consideration for the transactions amounts to approximately c. €693m1. Consideration for NWS’ stakes thus values SUEZ NWS and Suyu at an Enterprise Value of c. €1.7bn, of which c. €150m is net debt. In 2019, the two combined entities generated c.€193m EBITDA and c.€113m Net Income. The transactions will be accretive to Recurring Net Income and recurring FCF from completion, both by increasing the income from associates as regards to Suyu and reducing the minority interests as regards to SUEZ NWS.
As wholly owned businesses, SUEZ’s ability to accelerate growth in revenue and earnings in the coming years is enhanced.
Commenting on the transaction, Bertrand Camus, CEO of SUEZ, said:
“For more than 40 years, SUEZ, with a strong partnership culture and unique know-how, has been developing its innovative and high value-added solutions in Asia to support sustainable urban development in the region.
Today, through the acquisition of NWS' non-controlling shareholding in SUEZ NWS and indirect 50% interest in Suyu, SUEZ reaffirms its commitment in the region to invest and develop, alongside local authorities as well as International and Chinese industries, sustainable solutions with a positive impact on the climate, natural capital and quality of life. With this operation, the Group continues to strengthen its position as a leader in environmental services in Asia whose expertise and technology give it a unique ability to win high value-added contracts. Although this ends one phase of our relationship with NWS, we intend to continue to explore other ways of the two groups working together.
These acquisitions mark yet another landmark in the asset rotation plan of our SUEZ 2030 strategy. Accretive to our earnings, they further reposition SUEZ towards the most value-creating activities and geographies offering strong growth potential.”
SUEZ NWS
In 2017, SUEZ combined all the Group’s waste and water activities in mainland China, Macau, Hong-Kong and Taiwan by establishing a joint-company, SUEZ NWS, with its historic partner NWS. Since then, SUEZ held a 58% stake in SUEZ NWS and assumed full management.
The acquisition of the remaining 42% stake from NWS announced today is a new step in SUEZ’s long-term commitment in the region. Through this operation, SUEZ pursues its development in Asia and reinforces its position as a leading environmental company in the region to seize new opportunities and win high value-added contracts.
With over 70 water and waste contracts in more than 30 cities, operated daily by 9,000 employees, SUEZ has already been developing for many years its expertise in Asia with its local partners. As of today, over 25 million people receive SUEZ water supply services in China, in cities such as Chongqing where SUEZ NWS is serving 2.2m inhabitants daily and commercial customers and bringing cutting-edge solutions. In Waste, the Group has also considerably expanded its presence in the region over the last few years, notably being the largest waste management supplier in Hong-Kong and operating 7 hazardous waste treatment facilities in mainland China and Taiwan.
In addition to providing services, SUEZ has always shown a strong commitment to generate positive social and economic impact notably through solutions supporting the circular economy and sustainable development priorities.
SUYU
In 2015, SUEZ and NWS signed, through their 50/50 joint venture Suyu, an agreement with Chongqing Water Assets to jointly create Derun Environment.
Derun Environment, through its 50.04% shareholding in Chongqing Water Group and 43.86% in Chongqing Sanfeng [3] , is a leading Group in Water and Waste activities in China and an investment platform to significantly speed-up the development and implementation of innovative solutions in the Chongqing area.
Following the acquisition of NWS' indirect 50% stake in Suyu, SUEZ will now own 25.1% of Derun Environment. By increasing its ownership, SUEZ is reinforcing its commitment and partnership with Chongqing Water Assets. SUEZ will continue to develop and implement cutting-edge solutions to optimize water and wastewater treatment management, in partnership with the municipality and its partners.
The transactions, which are expected to close by Q1 2021, are subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
