Further information on Waterlogic Plc:
Waterlogic Plc (AIM: WTL.L) is a leading manufacturer and global
distributor of mains attached point-of-use ("POU") drinking water
purification and dispensing systems designed for environments such
as offices, factories, hospitals, hotels, schools, restaurants and
other workplaces.
Waterlogic was one of the first companies to introduce POU
systems to Europe and has been a leader in the POU market in terms
of product design and quality, the application of new technologies
and in sales and service. Waterlogic has an extensive and expanding
independent global distribution network in place, reaching 48
countries across five continents.
Waterlogic products are currently being sold in North and South
America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa. Waterlogic's
leading markets are Western Europe in particular, Norway, Denmark,
Germany, France, UK and the US. Of the 1.5 million new
installations in the business-to-business market between 2005-2010,
approximately 73% incorporated POU technology of which Waterlogic
had a 26% market share.
The Directors believe that the movement away from bottled water
coolers to POU water dispensers is set to continue its current
trend as a result of cost, convenience, health benefits and
environmental considerations.
Waterlogic's Firewall ultra-violet ("UV") technology is one of
the most effective water purification technologies for POU water
dispenser applications currently on the market and is the only
technology certified as being able to guarantee 99.9999% pure water
100% of the time, a fact which has been confirmed by over 5,000
physical tests in independent laboratories. The innovative Firewall
technology incorporates a highly-specialised, compact UV system in
the faucet/tap, which ensures that water passes through the UV
system immediately before it is dispensed into a cup. This point of
differentiation for Firewall is unique in the POU market.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2010, the Group
generated revenues and adjusted EBITDA of US$68.3 million and
US$11.4 million, respectively, and had approximately 500,000
machines installed as at 31 December 2010.
Immediately prior to the Placing, the Company had 49,328,295
ordinary shares in issue, comprising 2 initial subscriber shares,
48,995,000 ordinary shares issued by the Company as part of a Group
re-organisation and a further 333,293 shares issued prior to
Admission. Accordingly, the number of Ordinary Shares in issue
immediately after Admission will be 77,604,157.
