Nexans Receives US Antitrust Approval to Proceed With Republic Wire Acquisition Nexans received early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period from the US Federal Trade Commission for its planned acquisition of Republic Wire Inc.
This decision clears a key US antitrust hurdle and allows Nexans to move forward toward closing the purchase of 100% of Republic Wire’s share capital.
The company views Republic Wire as an important step in expanding its presence in the United States and aims for the deal to create long-term value for shareholders and other stakeholders.
The clearance removes a major regulatory uncertainty around the transaction and signals that US authorities do not see competition concerns that would block the deal at this stage.
Investors may want to watch for updates on final closing terms, integration plans and any disclosed transaction financing, since these factors can influence Nexans’ risk profile and future capital allocation. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Apr 30

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 26% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk.

Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 6.0% per year for the foreseeable future.

Nexans Launches Unique Cable Recycling and Recovery Service in France and Europe: CABLELOOP Nexans is launching a unique cable recycling and recovery service in France and Europe: CABLELOOP. Nexans is stepping up its recycling strategy to support the energy transition and address the growing copper shortage. This necessary transformation is creating an opportunity for Nexans to set itself apart in the sector by leveraging its unique capabilities and agility. The company is launching its turnkey CableLoop service: collecting installation cable off-cuts and transporting them to the recycling centre, and then transforming the waste into recycled raw materials. A pioneer in electrification, the Group aims to use a minimum of 30% recycled copper in the manufacturing of its cables by 2030. At a time when demand for electricity is set to increase by 35% by 2050, and the world is heading for a risk of shortages of raw materials - including copper, Nexans is strengthening its key role as a player in the circular economy to speed up the energy and climate transition. By actively investing in the recycling of non-ferrous metals, Nexans is promoting the creation of a sustainable cycle geared towards decarbonized energy: extended life cycles, reuse and recycling will contribute to a circular economy, reducing the use of virgin resources and lowering the carbon footprint created by the electrification of activities. Nexans already recycles over 40,000 metric tons of its own production waste every year. In Europe, this cable sorting and recovery process is partly carried out through the RecyCables joint venture created with Suez in Noyelles-Godault (northwestern France). As well as guaranteeing product traceability, local processing avoids the need to export large quantities of waste from France. With 60 years' experience in recycling cable waste, Nexans is stepping up its circular economy strategy and is launching CableLoop, a unique recycling and recovery service for cable offcuts. Nexans buys used cables - end of construction site electrical wires or obsolete industrial cables, and transforms them into valuable, infinitely reusable resources for its partners, customers, suppliers and the cable industry. Two versions of the service are available: CABLELOOP Enterprises: the service for companies via on-site collection. CABLELOOP Professionals: a new service offered by specialized distributors, for professional customers and electricians who can return their used cables to their branch. With these new recycling loops, Nexans aims to collect more than 800 metric tons of used cables by 2025 and to expand this circular model by developing waste collection and recovery from the industrial ecosystem and from its electrical equipment installation and distribution partners in France and Europe. Nexans will offer tailor-made logistics solutions and simplified, autonomous waste management on a 24-hour web platform together with traceability of the entire chain of operations.

New Risk • Jul 25
New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 44% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (44% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Announcement • Jul 24

Nexans and SNCF Reseau Revolutionize Rail Safety with an Innovative Superconducting Fault Current Limiter Nexans is forming a unique partnership with SNCF Reseau to deploy a superconducting fault current limiter. This technological innovation will secure and optimize electric rail traction on the line between Belfort and Delle, including the cross-border link with Switzerland. Rail power grids are under growing pressure, with the continuing expansion of rail traffic and the upgrades to equipment. Power surges and short-circuit disruptions can cause major disruptions. To address this challenge, Nexans and SNCF Reseau have joined forces to deploy an innovative superconducting current limiter (SFCL). Developed by Nexans, and integrated with the Bussurel substation, a strategic location identified by SNCF Reseau, the SFCL is able to reduce short-circuit currents in standalone mode, regenerating in less than five minutes, without human intervention. This revolutionary technology offers several advantages: Improved network reliability and safety. The SFCL acts as a shock absorber in the event of a problem, limiting current peaks and disruptions to the network when short circuits occur. Optimized infrastructures. In the long term, the SFCL could pave the way for smaller electric traction installations, thereby cutting rail infrastructure costs, while supplying power for more trains. Better service. The SFCL avoids the need for rail works that are inconvenient for users, providing an efficient, cost-effective solution with no impact on the traffic schedule. Faced with the need to modernize power grids and meet growing demands for energy, Nexans is positioning itself as a leader in the development of revolutionary superconductor technologies. These innovations will completely transform the electrification of transport and power distribution, paving the way for a more sustainable, high-performance energy future. Nexans' vision is based on a network of interconnected superconductor systems, able to meet tomorrow's energy challenges. This ambition is reflected in iconic projects such as the superconducting fault current limiter deployed on the Belfort-Delle line, a milestone in the collaboration between the two players, as well as the SuperRail project, to power the Montparnasse-Vouillé substation with superconducting cables. These partnerships illustrate the commitment made by the two players to innovation and sustainable development. Deployment of the superconducting fault current limiter is scheduled for late 2025. This project is a major step forward in rail electrification, paving the way for further innovations to make transport safer, more reliable and more sustainable. Announcement • Jun 08
