www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=EMR

The Announcement

Emerson views this acquisition as a step to harness the growing temperature management requirements in the food retail and restaurants, in light of rising labor costs and the proliferation of locations where fresh foods are prepared and served. Emerson stated that this acquisition strengthened its ability to meet the evolving need of cold chain customers, hence delivering consistent and safe control of food and other temperature-sensitive products.

According to Emerson, Cooper-Atkins is highly complementary to its global cold chain business, which includes the ProAct Services portfolio for supermarkets and the Cargo Solutions business, which delivers real-time perishable cargo tracking and monitoring services. Cooper-Atkins’ portfolio of food quality maintenance will help Emerson expand its cold chain portfolio of products and services for producer, retail, industrial, and transportation customers.

The Company’s market-leading compressor technologies, controls, and connected solutions help optimize energy consumption and operational performance in assets that power supermarket, refrigerated shipping operations, and food services. Cooper-Atkins is a privately-owned Company with about 150 employees and operates across Ohio, Florida, and Singapore. The acquisition is expected to close within the next 60 days and is subject to multiple regulatory approvals.

Other Announcements

Prior to this announcement, on December 04, 2017, Emerson announced the completion of the acquisition of Paradigm, a leading provider of software solutions for the oil and gas industry. Emerson found Paradigm complementary to its Roxar software business, hence creating a comprehensive Exploration and Production (E&P) software portfolio offering. Paradigm is headquartered in Houston and operates through more than 500 employees globally. According to Emerson, Paradigm and Roxar together were well-suited to help customers achieve performance by elevating efficiency, reducing costs, and improving their return on investment (ROI) within new and established reservoirs.

On November 28, 2017, Emerson announced that it withdrew its proposal to acquire Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) for $225 per share, due to the latter’s Board of Directors’ unwillingness to participate in a potential merger. According to Emerson, Rockwell Automation’s Board rejected their offer, which would have delivered about $30 billion of value to Rockwell Automation’s shareholders. The Company additionally stated that it was committed to returning capital to shareholders through its strong and growing dividend and its share repurchase program. The Company stated that its shares were an attractive investment opportunity, and accordingly, it would accelerate the repurchases over December 2017 to buy back up to $1 billion over the next 12 months.

Dividend Declared

On November 02, 2017, Armada Hoffler announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.19 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth quarter dividend will be paid in cash on January 04, 2018, to stockholders of record on December 27, 2017.

Armada Hoffler’s indicated dividend represents a yield of 4.91%, which is substantially above the average dividend yield of 3.79% for the financial sector. The Company has raised dividend for three consecutive years.

Dividend Insights

Armada Hoffler has a dividend payout ratio of 76.8%, which means that the Company distributes approximately $0.77 for every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts’ estimates, Armada Hoffler is forecasted to report earnings of $0.43 for the next year compared to the Company’s annualized dividend of $0.76. One of the primary reasons for the difference between earnings and an annualized dividend is that Armada Hoffler is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), structured by law to distribute at least 90% of earnings. Moreover, since REITs generate income from owning portfolios of investment real estate, they are likely to have higher depreciation charges.

Since depreciation is a non-cash charge, it does not directly impact the ability of dividend the companies can distribute. For this reason, Fund from Operations (FFO) is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization to earnings and subtracting any gains on sales which then provides a better picture of any company’s profitability and capacity to pay and to sustain dividends. For instance, Armada Hoffler reported net income of $10.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. On the other hand, the Company posted normalized funds from operations (“FFO”) of $15.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to Normalized FFO of $13.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The FFO indicates that the Company should be able to comfortably cover its dividend payout.

As of September 30, 2017, Armada Hoffler had cash and cash equivalents of $19.72 million compared to $21.94 million available as of December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $493.5 million of total debt outstanding, including $58.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Approximately 47.6% of Armada Hoffler’s debt had fixed interest rates or were subject to interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2017. After considering LIBOR interest rate caps with strike prices at or below 150 basis points as of September 30, 2017, 100% of the Company’s debt was fixed or hedged. The Company’s strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain the dividend distribution for a long period.
