Irish building materials giant CRH has completed its acquisition of US residential fencing and railing company Barrette Outdoor Living for $1.9 billion (€1.87 billion).
The company announced the purchase of Barrette Outdoor Living from Canadian private equity firms TorQuest Partners and Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec on Monday.
The deal, first announced in June, was paid for with cash of $1.85 billion and about $40 million of capitalised lease liabilities.
At the time, CRH chief executive Albert Manifold described Barrette, which is headquartered in Ohio, as “an excellent addition” to the company. CRH said the deal represents an acquisition multiple of 10 in terms of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation pre-synergies.
