Regal Rexnord Corporation Announces It Will Explore Strategic Alternatives For Businesses In The Industrial Systems Segment

BELOIT, Wis., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX) today announced that it intends to explore strategic alternatives for the global motors and generators businesses ("Motors and Generators") that represent a majority of the sales within its Industrial Systems reporting segment. The strategic review may or may not lead to a decision to divest these businesses.

Regarding the announcement, CEO Louis Pinkham commented, "I am proud of what our Industrial team has accomplished in the last few years. Through their disciplined deployment of 80/20 and rigorous use of lean tools, adjusted EBITDA margins for the business have improved by roughly 700 basis points. The business is also growing nicely, aided by share gains, which is evident in recent revenue and orders performance. Now, after carefully considering for some time how best to help the Industrial Systems business maximize its potential, we decided to explore whether there might be a better owner of these assets, in particular our global motors and generators businesses. It is in this spirit that we're launching the strategic review announced today. We plan to review our findings in a disciplined and rational manner, and after sharing conclusions with our associates, make them known to other relevant stakeholders."

Motors and Generators is a global leader in the design and manufacture of integral (~>5 HP) motors and generators for a diverse range of industrial applications, with a 100+ year legacy of engineering excellence and product innovation. Motors and Generators' products serve a diverse range of attractive and growing end markets and the businesses comprise a global manufacturing, distribution and service footprint.
