Impact: POSITIVE  Management's forecast EPS accretion at 20% is in line to slightly better than the street was anticipating from this transaction reflecting: a) growthin fee revenue, b) integration savings and, c) lower funding costs.  EFN retains the financial flexibility (low leverage) to participate in the further consolidation of the Fleet business in North America and Australia. Although EFN's market share in NA is 40% of Fleet management, the company's market share of Fleet leasing is 20% and we believe that it is Fleet leasing that attracts the greater scrutiny with respect to competition regulations.  Element has solidified its relationship with Arval and in this way has enhanced its product offering to global fleet operators. TD Investment Conclusion Our target price and long-term outlook on profitability are leveraged to the following: 1) strong growth in finance receivables, which is highly dependent on management’s capacity to leverage its relationships in Element’s four verticals, particularly in Fleet and Rail; 2) reliable and increasingly diverse sources of funding, including the potential for an investment grade credit rating from a major rating agency; 3) management’s demonstrated and stated intention to limit liquidity, interest rate mismatch, and credit risk; and 4) its highly scalable infrastructure, which should drive much lower operating expense ratios over time. Details EFN is paying $8.6Bn to acquire the NA and Australian/NZ assets. The company does not come with debt. The purchase price is split between $7.1Bn in earning assets ($5.3Bn in NA; $1.8Bn in Australia/NZ); $300mm in working capital and $1.2Bn in goodwill. Excluding the working capital, the company is paying $1.2Bn ($8.3Bn less $7.1Bn) for $7.1Bn in assets or ~18% of assets. This is consistent with the amount paid for PHH.
