Deal Details

Charles River will fund the acquisition with available cash and credit facility. The transaction, expected to close in Q2 2018, is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. MPI is expected to be reported as part of Charles River's Discovery and Safety Assessment segment.

Strategic Benefits

  • The agreement will enhance Charles River's position as a leading global early-stage CRO by strengthening its ability to partner with clients across the drug discovery and development continuum.

  • The acquisition aligns with the Company's strategy to expand its biotechnology client base. Also, MPI will add ototoxicity and abuse liability capabilities, and expand Charles River's existing capabilities in general toxicology and specialty toxicology, including ophthalmology, juvenile toxicity, molecular biology, and surgery as well as medical device testing.

  • MPI will provide safety assessment infrastructure to support Charles River's current demand and future growth needs. The addition of MPI will also enhance the Company's ability to achieve its long-term growth goals and generate attractive financial returns through profitable revenue growth and meaningful accretion to non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS).

Financial Specifics of the Agreement

The acquisition price implies multiples of 11.7x non-GAAP earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) based on MPI's estimated 2017 results, and approximately 10.5x non-GAAP EBITDA based on the estimated 2018 results including operational synergies. The acquisition is expected to add $170 million to $190 million to Charles River's 2018 consolidated revenue based on the anticipated timing of the close, and $260 million to $280 million to 2019 consolidated revenue.

The transaction is expected to be accretive to non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.25 in 2018 and approximately $0.60 in 2019. The Company expects to generate operational synergies as a result of the acquisition, with benefits totaling $13 million to $16 million by the end of 2019. Items excluded from non-GAAP earnings per share are expected to include all acquisition-related costs.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as the exclusive financial advisor to Charles River. Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is acting as Charles River's transactional legal counsel and Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP is acting as antitrust counsel. Jefferies LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. are acting as financial advisors, and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is serving as transactional legal counsel to MPI.

On January 11, 2018, the Company acquired KWS BioTest, a CRO specializing in in vitro and in vivo discovery testing services for immuno-oncology and inflammatory and infectious diseases, for approximately £15 million (approximately $20 million) in cash. The addition of KWS BioTest enhanced Charles River's discovery expertise, with complementary offerings that provided the Company's clients with additional tools in the active therapeutic research areas of oncology and immunology.
