Facts and Valuation Guesstimate!!!
(1) SPNG announced they will be purchasing Dicon, which according to the company supplied them with roughly half of their products. By purchasing their supplier, not only have they gained control of important patented technology, but they will be able to reduce their cost structure by being the supplier of their own goods.
Assuming SPNG was previously purchasing half of their products from Dicon and their projected revenues are $190 Million in FY 2010 and assuming a 54% gross margin, they would have paid roughly $44 Million to Dicon in CGS. Assuming Dicon operates at 50% Gross Margins, this means SPNG will save $22 Million in CGS.
However, we need to also add in plant and overhead costs from Dicon, which I estimate to be $18 Million. The net result is an increase in net income of $4 Million through the purchase of Dicon.
(2) Mgmt intends to buy back stock such that o/s shares drops to 500 Million.
