PARK LAWN INCREASES ITS PRESENCE IN THE SIOUX CITY METROPOLITAN AREA

Park Lawn Corp. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of Christy-Smith Funeral Homes located in Sioux City, Iowa. The Christy-Smith acquisition expands Park Lawn's footprint in the Sioux City, Iowa, metropolitan market through the addition of two stand-alone funeral homes and is anticipated to close in mid-October, 2023, following the receipt of regulatory approval.

"We are excited for the opportunity to further expand our operating position in the Sioux City metropolitan area through the strategic acquisition of Christy-Smith," said J. Bradley Green, chief executive officer of Park Lawn. Mr. Green continued: "These businesses will complement our recent Meyer Brothers acquisition and further our operational synergies in the market. We look forward to welcoming the Christy-Smith team into the Park Lawn family."

Highlights of the transaction include:

  • The addition of two stand-alone funeral homes;
  • The transaction represents 217 calls per year and is expected to be financed with funds from Park Lawn's credit facility and available cash on hand;
  • Following the closing and integration of the transaction, the Christy-Smith acquisition is expected to add approximately $437,391 (U.S.) in adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) annually;
  • For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2022, Park Lawn had adjusted EBITDA of $74,948,868 (U.S.) and net earnings of $25,124,765 (U.S.).
  • The agreed upon purchase price multiple for the transaction is within Park Lawn's publicly stated targeted adjusted EBITDA multiple range for its historical transactions.
