There are 41m shares outstanding x $93 share price = $3.8bn market cap. Net debt will change following the sale of the HHI business. Pro-forma for that divestiture, SPB should have net cash of $740m [$2.76bn net debt less $3.5bn net proceeds] for an enterprise value of ~$3.1bn.

2️⃣

2021 EBITDA was $392m and management thinks they can grow from there in FY2022 — 8x EBITDA multiple or lower.
