"The transaction offers strong value creation for shareholders with $120m of synergies by year 4, backed by Veolia's solid track-record, and current EPS accretion from year 2," the acquirer said.
The company will fund this transaction, to be closed in mid-2026, through its financial resources and debt.
Post transaction, the Group's hazardous waste revenue is projected to reach EUR 5.2 billion with an EBITDA margin of 17%.
