Forward guidance
Visibility continues to be limited as a result of COVID and long lead times for semiconductors and certain components and these factors may affect our organic growth for 2021. We believe, however, that the incremental contribution from the two new acquisitions coupled with continued actions under our global cost savings initiative will bode well for further profitability in the coming year
Tailwinds
- The acquisition of rms Connectors enabled us to increase our market share within the commercial aerospace end market
- rms to be accretive to Bel's EBITDA by June 2021 as operations transition to a nearby Bel facility.
- The acquisition of EOS Power will broaden Bel's power product portfolio with industrial and medical products.
- EOS Power acquisition will extend our manufacturing footprint outside of China with a turnkey operation and will provide access to the fast-growing India market for all of Bel's products.
- Global cost savings initiative will bode well for further profitability in the coming year
