Ingersoll Rand to Acquire ILC Dover to Expand Presence in Life Sciences

  • Attractive upfront purchase multiple of approximately 17x 2024E Adjusted EBITDA, supported by Adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid-30s and a three-year historical organic revenue CAGR in the mid-teens, which are both immediately accretive to the Precision and Science Technologies (P&ST) segment.
  • Adds new technologies for life science applications including innovative powder and liquid single-use solutions for biopharma and pharma, and niche solutions for the design and production of silicone, thermoplastic, and specialty rubber components for medical devices, with approximately 75% of revenue from consumable, like-for-like replacement or recurring revenue streams.
  • Expands Ingersoll Rand's addressable market by more than $10 billion, to a total of approximately $65 billion, in highly fragmented market segments with significant and sustainable growth tailwinds.
  • Increases access for existing Ingersoll Rand life science solutions through established direct channel and strong customer connectivity in biopharma, pharma, cell and gene therapy, and related life science end markets, supported by iconic, premium life sciences brands.

Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, has entered into an agreement to acquire ILC Dover (“ILC”) from New Mountain Capital, LLC, a leading growth-oriented investment firm with approximately $50 billion in assets under management. The deal includes an upfront cash purchase price of approximately $2.325 billion and an earnout tied to the achievement of select operating efficiency metrics in 2024. At its maximum payout, the earnout increases the 17x upfront purchase multiple by less than one turn.

ILC is a world-leader in the design and production of highly innovative solutions for biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, and medical device markets as well as a leading supplier for the space industry. ILC has a 75-year heritage of innovation and commitment to expanding its product portfolio of mission-critical applications. ILC serves its global customer base across 11 engineering and production facilities located in North America, Europe, and Asia, with more than 2,000 team members.

In connection with this acquisition, Ingersoll Rand will establish a life sciences platform within its P&ST segment, consisting of ILC plus Ingersoll Rand’s life science-focused brands including Thomas, Welch, Zinsser Analytic, Tricontinent, Air Dimensions, and ILS. Corey Walker, ILC President and CEO, will lead the life sciences platform and join the Ingersoll Rand leadership team, reporting to Vicente Reynal, chairman and chief executive officer. This platform will have approximately $700 million in revenue and will enable Ingersoll Rand to further focus its growth and investment in life sciences, a key strategic area for the company. Current P&ST segment leader Santiago Arias Duval will continue to report to Reynal and lead a second platform within P&ST consisting of the remaining P&ST businesses, which represent approximately $1 billion in revenue.

“This acquisition is the next phase of our long-term vision to expand into higher-growth end markets like life sciences. I am incredibly excited to partner with Corey and the outstanding team at ILC, whom we’ve admired for their innovative products and decades of experience in life sciences, to enhance our presence in key workflows and applications,” said Vicente Reynal, Ingersoll Rand chairman and CEO. “We see many opportunities to leverage ILC’s established market positions and brands, including the ability to attach Ingersoll Rand’s existing liquid handling technologies and positive displacement pumps to ILC’s single-use solutions in key biopharma and pharma production processes. Through ILC, we will get access to approximately 1,000 customers in the broader life science and healthcare sectors, where we can leverage our demand generation capabilities to drive incremental growth in other Ingersoll Rand product lines like compressors. Working together, we will continue to drive sustained growth, lead customer value and innovation, and maximize value creation.”

“I am very proud of our team’s passion for innovation, commitment to world-class quality, and overall dedication to our customers during a period of rapid growth,” said Corey Walker, ILC president and CEO. “I’m excited to combine the Ingersoll Rand and ILC Life Science portfolio of products that allow us to serve our customers from the discovery phase in the laboratory to the commercial production of life saving therapies. ILC Dover’s direct channel access coupled with Ingersoll Rand’s proven growth and efficiency tools will allow us to accelerate our ability to serve customers across their workflows.”

“Since we acquired ILC in early 2020, we have made substantial investments to support and drive growth. ILC significantly increased its manufacturing capabilities and cleanroom capacity while also driving meaningful operational initiatives to better serve its customers,” said Andre Moura, managing director at New Mountain Capital. “We would like to thank Corey Walker and his management team for the successful partnership. Under Corey’s leadership, the business materially expanded its product set, including its portfolio of flexible, single-use solutions for sterile and aseptic manufacturing processes. We see a strong fit between Ingersoll Rand and ILC, and we are confident that Ingersoll Rand is the right partner for its next stage of growth.”

This acquisition is immediately accretive to Ingersoll Rand’s growth and margin rates. ILC’s revenue has grown at a mid-teens CAGR organically over the last three years and is expected to reach almost $400 million in revenue in 2024E, with mid-30s Adjusted EBITDA margins. Through the deployment of Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) and organic growth enablers like Demand Generation Excellence (DGX), Ingersoll Rand expects to achieve a ROIC in the high single digits by year three of its ownership. This acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in Q2 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to supplement, and not substitute, the financial information provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures related to 2024 guidance have not been provided due to the unreasonable efforts it would take to provide such reconciliations due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for acquisitions-related expenses, restructuring and other business transformation costs, gains or losses on foreign currency exchange and the timing and magnitude of other amounts in the reconciliation of historic numbers. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

“This acquisition is the next phase of our long-term vision to expand into higher-growth end markets like life sciences."
