Entity A is significantly smaller than B in terms of revenue and would not impact LOP's revenue to the same extent. However A earns a noticeably better gross profit margin at 26% as opposite to 17% for B. A's margin is closer to LOP's and would have a less unenthusiastic impact. It maybe suggests that A has targeted a similar market to LOP, whereas B has focussed on income at the expense of margin - high volume / low margin strategy. On the other hand, it could indicate that the two entities categorize costs differently between cost of sales and other functioning costs - especially when we consider the difference in net profit margin. Entity B earns an improved net profit at 11% and would have less impact on LOP's net margin. A's figure of 9% emerge very low with its GP at 26%. It could be that this is a minor entity and not able to take benefit of economies of scale, has high fixed costs or has poor cost control. A has high gearing and the associated finance costs are also include an impact on net profit.
The gearing of A would have a important consequence on the results of LOP as gearing is at 65% as opposed to B's gearing of 30% and LOP's 38%. However when we consider this mutually with the available lending rates, it perhaps propose that the management of A have shrewdly capitalised on low lending rates and funded the entity through exterior finance. The low gearing of B however, probably gives room to increase borrowing if necessary in the future.
The P/E ratio is a vital ratio for investors and LOP's ratio would be unfavourably affected by either acquisition. A's P/E ratio is significantly lower than B and LOP but it is difficult to make an evaluation of the applicable risk of the entities when they are judged by different markets.
