News CRH rumoured to be circling Boral

CRH rumoured to be circling Boral

Australia: National press in Australia has reported that the Irish building materials giant CRH has approached Boral regarding a possible takeover. CRH snapped up US$6.5bn of assets from Lafarge and Holcim in 2015 following their merger to become LafargeHolcim, and it consequently became the third-largest building materials supplier by market value internationally.

The speculation comes amid market expectations that Boral could be broken up if a takeover does not unfold soon. Suitors have looked at Boral before but a deal has never eventuated. The company’s market value is US$3.9bn, so it could be within the grasp of a cash-rich strategic player or private equity firm from overseas. Three years ago Boral was worth more than US$4.8bn.

Meanwhile, Australia's devastating recent bushfires have affected Boral’s Berrima plant in New South Wales, likely leading to lower production and margins. This was due to extended leave for staff and road closures.
