This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Hanson Group. The review period commenced on 2024-07-30 and concluded on 2024-08-29, involving extensive analysis by our internal teams and external consultants. The team's general sentiment, following several late-night sessions and copious amounts of coffee, is cautiously optimistic.

From a financial perspective, Hanson Group exhibits a volatile revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 18.8% and a net profit margin of 9.5%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a moderate debt structure. 

The legal review encompassed an examination of 401 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as single-sourced, while its technological backbone is considered largely state-of-the-art.
