N/A
Singapore, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HomesToLife Ltd (NASDAQ: HTLM) (“HomesToLife” or the “Company”), the holding company of one of the leading home furniture products retail chains in Singapore, today announced that it has entered into a definitive sale and purchase agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with New Century International Homes Pte Ltd (“New Century”) to acquire 100% of equity interests in HTL Marketing Pte Ltd (“HTL Marketing”), a leading B2B procurer and supplier of premium upholstered sofas and leather materials for sofa manufacturing (the “Acquisition”). The Company expects that the Acquisition will enable HomesToLife to leverage HTL Marketing's international network and customer base to access extensive global market opportunities, generate numerous synergies in sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution, and drive substantial growth in both revenue and profitability. Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, in exchange for acquiring HTL Marketing, HomesToLife Ltd will issue to New Century 75,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), which will be subject to two-year lock-up restrictions. HTL Marketing, based in Singapore, procures upholstered sofas from various factories located in China, India, Vietnam and Italy, and exports its products to about 50 countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America through a broad network of sales partners and retailers. In fiscal year of 2024, HTL Marketing achieved sales of US$330 million, of which Europe, Asia-Pacific, U.S. and Canada accounted for 59%, 28%, 8% and 5%, respectively. In fiscal year of 2024, HTL Marketing recorded a profit after tax (PAT) of US$11 million, had positive cash flow from operating activities of $19 million and zero gearing, each in accordance with its local accounting standards. HTL Marketing is wholly owned by New Century, which is, in turn, wholly owned by Golden Hill Capital Pte Ltd., a Singapore-based investment holding company wholly owned by Mr. Phua Yong Pin and Mr. Phua Yong Tat, who are co-founders, directors and controlling shareholders of both HTL Marketing and HomesToLife. HTL Marketing and HomesToLife are related parties. According to Ms. Phua Mei Ming, HomesToLife’s chief executive officer, the Acquisition is expected to provide a significant uplift to the Company’s top-line performance, which it expects to grow from US$4 million in 2024 to the range of US$250 million to US$280 million in 2025. HomesToLife's 2025 bottom line is also expected to be “significantly bolstered” by the acquisition, said Ms. Phua.  For 2026, said Ms. Phua, HTL Marketing is expected to contribute revenue in the range of US$350 million to US$400 million and a profit after tax in the range of US$15 million to US$20 million.  "Today’s acquisition is a significant milestone in our company's growth journey," she added. "By joining forces with HTL Marketing, we have made HomesToLife into a major furniture entity with the resources to capitalize on lucrative growth opportunities, minimize risk from any emerging trade disruptions, and achieve long-term success in the global marketplace."  “We look forward to integrating HTL Marketing's operations and leveraging its expertise to fuel further growth and value creation for our shareholders.” Acquisition Details After receiving non-binding transaction proposal regarding the Acquisition from New Century in December 2024, given the fact that the proposed Acquisition constituted a major related party transaction, the board of directors of HomesToLife established a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate the fairness of the proposed Acquisition in the interests of HomesToLife and its shareholders. The Special Committee had the exclusive power and authority to, among other things, evaluate and negotiate the proposed Acquisition on behalf of the board of directors and HomesToLife and approve or reject the proposed Acquisition. The Special Committee consists solely of independent directors of HomesToLife. The Special Committee engaged Kroll, LLC as its independent financial advisor and Loeb & Loeb LLP as its legal advisor in evaluation and negotiation of the proposed Acquisition and the Sale and Purchase Agreement with New Century. Kroll, LLC has provided a fairness opinion to the Special Committee that the purchase consideration of 75,000,000 Ordinary Shares of HomesToLife is fair from a financial point of view to HomesToLife. On May 5, 2025, the Company’s board of directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, unanimously approved the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Acquisition. The Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. It is currently expected to close during the second quarter of 2025.
