PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2017--
Craft
Brew Alliance, Inc. (“CBA”) (Nasdaq:BREW), a leading craft brewing
company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to sell
its Woodinville, Washington facility to Sound Commercial Investment
Holdings, LLC for $24.5 million. The transaction is subject to a
financing contingency and other closing conditions that are expected to
be resolved by the end of 2017.
As previously announced, the sale of CBA’s Woodinville property, which
includes a production facility, office space, and restaurant, will
complete a key phase in the company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its
brewery footprint, reduce costs and improve gross margins. While CBA
will provide more information on the financial and operational benefits
of the sale at closing, the company anticipates a negative impact on
2017 earnings per share in the range of $0.02 to $0.03 as a result of
contingencies and transaction costs directly related to the sale.
