The transaction, expected to complete today, is projected to generate $120 million in EBITDA based on $600 million invested for growth capital expenditure in 2026. The dividend reflects strong business performance, with revenues of $3,194 million and adjusted EBITDA of $1,218 million in the 12 months to September 2025.
