ATK Acquires Eagle Industries in Move That Expands Its Position in Tactical Accessories Market

Strategic Acquisition Creates Portfolio of Tactical Accessories for Military and Law Enforcement Markets

Acquisition Expected to be Slightly Accretive to FY10 EPS

MINNEAPOLIS, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ –– Alliant Techsystems has acquired Eagle Industries, as it expands its position in the domestic and international tactical accessories markets serving military and law enforcement customers. While terms of the agreement were not disclosed, the company expects the acquisition to add more than $80 million to Fiscal Year 2010 revenues, and be slightly accretive to FY10 earnings per share (EPS).

"Eagle Industries has built a strong reputation within the military and law enforcement markets, both domestic and international, by producing the highest quality tactical equipment and systems," said Scott Carver, Vice President and General Manager, ATK Tactical Systems division. "By joining forces with ATK, we will be even better equipped to support the soldier and other customers while growing our business in ways we could not have done alone. This is a great opportunity for both companies."

Another issue I should bug Mr. Lennett about: does the ATK buyout pose any changes to the Eagle LE gear line (US Designed, US Materials, Overseas workmanship value line gear)

Some of the integrated Armor kits they'll come up with will be great, but I'm not seeing how Eagle is benefiting proportionally to ATK, unless Alliant bought them outright, and is aiming primarily to boost volume capability.

I don't expect any of Eagle's partnerships to change up in the near term, the biggest change I forsee is introduction of the LE line, which was already in the works.
