Acquired 80% Stake Upfront with Intent to Purchase Remaining 20% by Early 2027

WEST ORANGE, N.J., Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bel Fuse Inc. (“Bel,” or, “the Company”) (Nasdaq:BELFA and Nasdaq:BELFB), announced today that it has closed the previously announced majority stake acquisition of Enercon Technologies, Ltd. (“Enercon”) from Fortissimo Capital based on an enterprise value of $400 million. Bel has acquired an 80% stake upfront for $320 million (subject to customary adjustments), plus up to $10 million of potential earnout payments for the 2025-2026 period, with the intent to purchase the remaining 20% by early 2027 based on future EBITDA performance. The transaction was funded through utilization of cash on hand of approximately $80 million, with approximately $240 million provided through incremental borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Enercon is a leading supplier of highly engineered power conversion and networking solutions to military and aerospace markets globally. Enercon is headquartered in Netanya, Israel with manufacturing sites also located in North America and India. The company typically operates as the sole supplier of its products, providing robust and reliable solutions across air, land and sea applications. The full business has LTM Q3 2024 sales of $115 million with gross profit margin of 47%.

This acquisition allows Bel to extend its product portfolio supporting the aerospace and defense markets to include power solutions, with clear potential cross selling opportunities in the future. Bel’s manufacturing footprint expands further into India and the U.S. with new manufacturing capabilities and a talented group of engineers based in Israel. Enercon will operate independently under the Bel Power and Solutions segment.
