TRANSPORTATION
Sky is carrying headlines that the co is in "advanced talks to acquire 70% shareholding in Menzies that it does not already own".
- Menzies is a British logistics co - InPost took a 30% stake in it for £49.3m last year. Based on that price remaining stake would be £115m.
- Co had £141m of cash on hand at the end of June that it could draw down on first (FCF is positive). Earnings are trending positively (Q2 EBITDA +32%) aided by strong parcel volume growth in Poland and international markets. It is helping it naturally delever - co reporting leverage down from net 2.7x to 1.95x at June.
