This article provides more perspective and insight into what it means for IGL. The opportunity is fantastic for IGL to materially grow shareholder value over the medium term.

“The acquisition of AFI adds event, exhibition, fabric printing and signage capabilities to IVE for the first time. The timely announcement comes as retail stores begin to reopen their doors once more and businesses look to schedule events. The integration of ADG and AFI into IVE commences in November.”

“AFI brings complementary services to IVE’s already extensive offering, presenting a compelling proposition to its existing 2,800 clients and the wider market”.

“The combination of ADG and IVE’s existing capabilities will create by far the most sophisticated and advanced retail display offering in the country. From the breadth and depth of our combined capability, right through to our impeccable environmental and sustainability credentials, this expanded retail offering will be unmatched in Australia”

I think this means IGL will be able to cross-sell these new capabilities and services to its own 2,800+ clients, providing an even wider offer to its clients, and likewise IGL offering its services to ADG and AFI clients. The wide ranging capabilities will allow it standout for its competitors.

If some existing clients gradually start to take up these new services, I expect this to have a greater earnings accretion than what they’ve conservatively estimated today (not to mention the cost synergies to be extracted, as some as mentioned on here today).

Very exciting times!
