Helloworld Could Lift EPS Sharply by Acquiring Webjet -- Market Talk

Dow Jones11-21

2210 GMT - Travel agency Helloworld could lift its EPS by 10%-15% by acquiring Webjet, before accounting for any savings from combining the businesses, Shaw & Partners says. Helloworld is offering A$0.90/share for the roughly 83% of Webjet that it doesn't already own. This implies Webjet's equity is worth some A$353 million. Shaw assumes Helloworld uses debt totaling A$200 million to help fund the takeover. "Revenue synergies include better cross-sell of Webjet's existing airline-only customers, and we estimate potential cost synergies of around A$6.6 million," Shaw says. It adds that Helloworld could boost its EPS by more if it uses less debt and more cash to fund the deal. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
