Prosegur aims to enhance its value proposition

With the listing of Prosegur Cash in the Spanish Stock Exchanges, Prosegur will create a listed pure player in the cash logistics and cash management industry, with the clear purpose of leading the international consolidation process that is expected to take place in an industry with more than 500 players. The global market structure, with over 40% owned by small and midsize local groups, presents ideal characteristics for Prosegur Cash to grow through acquisitions, without compromising on its historical financial discipline.

Since 2011, Prosegur Cash has carried out 18 acquisitions, with combined revenues of c.800 million Euros. The company maintains its intention to be a leading company of the sector and to play an important role in the consolidation of the cash management industry.

Likewise, the offering will promote the growth of the rest of Prosegur's business lines, through the redeployment of part of the funds received in the offering. It will mainly focus on customer growth in the alarms and cybersecurity divisions and investment in new technologies in the rest of the businesses. Prosegur also expects to carry out a partial return of capital to shareholders.

Growth and international development

Prosegur Group's activities in the cash logistics and cash management began more than 40 years ago. Since then, the group's activity in this area has followed a continuous process of expansion. First with development in the Iberian Peninsula, then with expansion into Latin America and in this latest stage by opening up to new geographies. This important development has meant that Prosegur Cash's income has multiplied by eight times between the year 2000 and now.

In 2016, Prosegur Cash continued to develop its growth strategy with the entry into South Africa and the expansion of its operations in Spain, India and Australia. Prosegur Cash has recorded an organic growth of 15.1% in the 2016 financial year. Its sales have increased, in terms of local currency, in all geographic areas and have reached 1,724.3 million Euros.

Prosegur will develop an attractive dividend policy

Prosegur Cash aims to offer its shareholders annual dividends equivalent to at least 50% to 60% of the net profit from the previous year. For 2017, the intention of the Board of Directors is to approve an interim cash dividend in December, the first payment of which would be made in that same month. The proposed dividend policy follows a line that is consistent with the objectives of growth and leverage, with a pay-out ratio backed by strong cash generation and a solid capital structure.
