On May 7, 2015, the Company announced that it priced an
underwritten offering of 1,530,435 shares of its common stock at a
price of $3.00 per share. Including the over-allotment, gross
proceeds are expected to be approximately $5.3M and net
proceeds $4.7M.
22
As part of the offering, ARI disclosed estimates for its fiscal third quarter
ending April 30, 2015. The Company estimates revenue for the quarter will be
in the range of $10.1 million to $10.3 million and earnings per share (EPS) in
the range of $0.01 to $0.02. This unaudited preliminary financial data is
based on the Company’s estimates and subject to completion of the
Company’s final closing procedures.
ARI intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to invest in or to
acquire, from time to time, businesses that align with ARI’s core acquisition
strategy, to repay the outstanding balance of $1,750,000 on its line of credit
which was incurred in connection with its recent acquisition of the assets of
TASCO Corporation, thus making it fully available for additional transactions,
and for general corporate purposes.
TASCO Corporation (“TASCO”), a leading provider of business
management, point of sale and other software exclusively
designed for automotive tire and wheel dealers (“T&W”).
23
TASCO is expected to add $2M to ARI’s FY16 revenue numbers. We also
expect TASCO to be profitable and cash flow positive, and ARI expects the
transaction to be accretive to its FY16 EBITDA.
Consideration for the transaction was $1.75M cash paid at closing and
$800,000 of equity (242,424 shares of ARI Common Stock) issued at closing.
There is also a $200,000 cash payment on the anniversary of the transaction
subject to set-off and a working capital adjustment.
The acquisition was funded through our Line of Credit with Silicon Valley
Bank and cash from operations.
The acquisition of TASCO consolidates two industry-leading business management software platforms cementing ARI’s position as the most complete technology provider in the T&W market. This will result in an immediate increase in market share and we expect it to serve as a catalyst for growth allowing current customers and prospects to benefit from our expanded product portfolio.
Tire Company Solutions, LLC (“TCS”), a leading provider
of software, websites and marketing services designed
exclusively for automotive tire and wheel dealers.
24
TCS is expected to add $5M to ARI’s FY15 revenue numbers and
projects that the transaction will produce $6M in incremental revenue
over the next 12 months. Also, TCS is profitable and cash flow
positive, and ARI expects the transaction to be accretive to its FY15
EBITDA.
ARI paid approximately $4.2 million in cash at closing subject to a
post-closing adjustment based upon a target closing net asset value.
ARI agreed to pay a $3.0 million seller note, and $1.9 million in equity
(619K shares of ARI common stock), as well as an additional “earn-
out” to be paid contingent upon specified revenue goals.
The acquisition was funded through a combination of refinancing our
Senior Debt with Silicon Valley Bank, our Line of Credit and cash
from operations.
