Fox Factory Holding Corp. (FOX) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of Marzocchi's mountain bike product lines.
Marzocchi designs and manufactures motor bike and mountain bike suspension products. FOX expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2015 subject to customary closing conditions. Marzocchi is not expected to have a material impact on FOX's financial results in either fiscal 2015 or 2016.
“We are excited to announce the agreement to acquire certain assets of the Marzocchi mountain bike product lines, which we believe is a significant opportunity for FOX to further expand the penetration of our bike suspension products across more price points,” stated Larry L. Enterline, FOX's Chief Executive Officer. “The Marzocchi team has a long history of performance suspension experience and we believe that this highly complementary transaction will allow for the increased growth of the Marzocchi brand worldwide. We expect this transaction will bring together and strengthen two highly complementary product lines and allow for FOX to leverage its marketing, engineering, distribution, and supply chain resources to drive increased top-line growth and profitability.”
FOX expects to report fiscal third quarter 2015 earnings results in early November and plans to provide additional financial and transactional details at that time.
Headquartered in Scotts Valley, CA, FOX designs and manufactures high-performance ride dynamics products primarily for bicycles, side-by-side vehicles, on-road and off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles.
