Industrial Water Treatment Service

An ultra pure water deionisation service supplying semiconductor manufacturers, aerospace firms, hospitals and data centres under five-year contracts, at SDE margins above 35%.

Business Highlights

  • Five-year contracts with semiconductor, aerospace, hospital and data centre clients
  • Four consecutive years of revenue and earnings growth
  • SDE margins consistently above 35% across every reported year
  • Residual income model built on exchange tank service and monthly equipment rentals
  • Serves industries where water purity is a process requirement rather than a preference

Considerations / Questions to Ask

  • The higher SDE figure quoted in the listing is the seller's forward projection, not a result. Current SDE is $375k. Treat the projection as a forecast and ask what it assumes.
  • Five-year contracts are the core asset. How many are there, when do they expire, and how concentrated is revenue among the largest?
  • Semiconductor and data centre demand in Phoenix is real but cyclical. What happens to volume in a downturn?
  • Exchange tank service needs regeneration capacity. Is that in-house or bought in, and what does it cost?
  • Are the contracts assignable on a change of control?

Opportunities

  • Exchange tank service is genuinely residual, and the customer cannot stop buying without stopping production
  • Phoenix is in the middle of a semiconductor and data centre build-out that needs exactly this service
  • Five-year terms give a buyer visibility most service businesses never have
  • The same trucks and the same routes can carry more tanks without proportional cost
