    Danone Agrees to Sell Stonyfield to Complete WhiteWave Acquisition

    Stonyfield generated about $370 million in sales in 2016.

    04.03.17
    In order to facilitate the closing of its WhiteWave Foods acquisition, Danone has reached an agreement in principle with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to sell its Stonyfield business in the months following the closing of the deal. 

    The company said the move is expected to allow for closing to occur soon and will allow Danone to proceed the integration and reap the full benefits of the announced synergies.

    The divestiture of Stonyfield does not impact the strategic rationale or financial benefits of the WhiteWave acquisition, according to Danone. Stonyfield generated approximately $370 million in turnover in 2016, according to Danone. As part of this announcement, Danone reconfirmed the value creation expected from the transaction, which includes:
    • Significant run-rate EBIT synergies of $300 million by 2020;
    • Improvement of Danone’s full year like-for-like sales growth profile by an extra +0.5% to +1%;
    • Accretion of EBIT margin from 2018; and
    • Solid EPS accretion from 2017 and above 10% based on run-rate synergies.

    Danone CEO Emmanuel Faber said, “This is a good outcome as it addresses the DOJ’s concerns and enables Danone to shortly begin to capture the benefits of the combination, and the value creation announced last July.”

    “WhiteWave is expected to accelerate Danone’s 2020 profitable growth journey, drive strong value creation and deliver attractive financial benefits, including an above 10% EPS accretion based on run-rate synergies. Through this perfect match, we will bring together complementary portfolios, including some of the fastest growing, health-focused categories that are strongly aligned with long term consumer trends. The combination will allow us to develop a world-leading dairy and plant-based food and beverage portfolio, with a full spectrum of better-for-you offerings, including protein-rich, organic, non-GMO and nutrient-dense choices. With this wider variety of great tasting products, we will reach more consumers and be able to play in more meal occasions and consumption moments like snacking and on-the-go. This acquisition will drive both our business performance and our Alimentation Revolution as we offer healthier and more sustainable eating and drinking options for consumers.”

    Through the WhiteWave transaction, Danone will strengthen and expand its position in resilient growth markets. Danone will notably double the size of its North America business to more than $6 billion in turnover, allowing the company to become a Top 15 Food & Beverage company in the U.S. and the number one in refrigerated dairy (excluding cheese) in this key strategic geography. The transaction also offers the potential to broaden Danone’s reach across geographies through new high growth categories in the future.

    “While as part of our agreement with the DOJ, we have made the strategic decision to divest our Stonyfield business, we are proud of all that we have accomplished together,” Mr. Faber
    added. “We are committed to finding the right partner to support Stonyfield growth journey in the future. In doing so we will attract more competition and capital into the U.S. organic segment, creating an opportunity for it to grow even faster.”
