Acquisition of McLaren Software Group
IDOX plc (AIM: IDOX, 'IDOX' or the 'Company'), a leading
independent supplier of software and services to the UK public
sector, has acquired McLaren Software Group Limited (McLaren) for
GBP1.0m in cash.
McLaren is a leading supplier of engineering document management
and control applications serving many leading international
companies in industries including oil & gas, mining, utilities,
pharmaceuticals and transportation.
McLaren had revenues of GBP6.4m for the year ended 31 December
2009, with an operating profit of GBP0.4m and a loss before
taxation of GBP1m resulting from the pre-acquisition capital
structure. Net liabilities at completion are expected to be
GBP1.3m.
The acquisition of McLaren extends IDOX's core skills in
planning and building documents management into the related area of
engineering drawings. This will provide IDOX with the opportunity
of broadening its activities into complementary UK and
international markets in both the private and public sector,
particularly where the management of complex engineering systems
interacts with regulatory oversight.
Richard Kellett-Clarke, IDOX CEO said:
"The acquisition of McLaren adds valuable new products and
markets to the IDOX Group.
The McLaren team have built an impressive installed base and a
world-class reputation for engineering document management
applications.
"As part of the IDOX Group, McLaren will benefit from additional
resources and complementary technical and marketing skills that
will enable it to maximise opportunities in the specialised markets
it serves."
