By 2025, the Riello Group's net revenue is expected to be around EUR 400 million with an adjusted gross operating margin (EBITDA) of around EUR 35 million.

The parties agreed on an enterprise value of EUR 289 million, equal to five times adjusted EBITDA/Ebitda 2026, including the estimated synergies when fully implemented.

Ariston's acquisition of Riello is expected to generate a positive impact on adjusted earnings per share as early as the second year post-closing, with a high teens in 2026, including estimated synergies when fully implemented.

The acquisition will be financed with Ariston Group equity, with payment expected upon completion of the transaction. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2026.

The operation generates multiple levers of value creation, thanks to technological synergies, optimisation in procurement and logistics, and a complementary product portfolio.

In Italy, thanks to the combination of Ariston and Riello businesses, the group will strengthen its role in the climatic comfort and water heating sector, expanding its product portfolio and exploiting a large network of loyal installers, supported by an extensive after-sales service network.

Ariston Group received financial advice from Mediobanca, Ardea Partners and Bnp Paribas, and legal assistance from PedersoliGattai and BonelliErede. 

"I am pleased to announce the acquisition of Riello, a milestone in our growth strategy. Riello proudly represents a 100-year-old Italian icon in the fields of thermal comfort and advanced combustion technologies," said Paolo Merloni, Executive Chairman of Ariston Group.

"Riello has a prestigious history and very talented people," says David Gitlin, President and CEO of Carrier. "We are proud to welcome the Riello team to the Ariston Group family," highlights Maurizio Brusadelli, CEO of Ariston Group.
