Leonardo DRS, the US defence subsidiary of Italy's Leonardo, has agreed to sell its Global Enterprise Solutions (GES) satellite communications business to Luxembourg-based SES for USD450 million, the two companies announced on 22 March.
Leonardo DRS said the divestiture will enable it to focus on strengthening its core capabilities through organic growth and possibly acquisitions. Those core areas include sensing, electronic warfare and cyber, network computing, force protection, and electrical power and propulsion.
“While the DRS GES business has flourished, Leonardo DRS has shifted its portfolio focus, and selling it now makes the most business sense,” Leonardo DRS CEO Bill Lynn said.
Through the aquisition, SES will bolster its ability to integrate its 70 communications satellites with customer networks. It will also gain about USD250 million in annual revenue and about USD40 million of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA).
