LONDON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - British condom maker SSL International increased its presence in the fast-growing Russian market by paying a significant premium to raise its stake in its BLBV joint venture to 75 percent.
The FTSE 250 listed company, which also makes Scholl foot treatments, said it will pay no more than 140 million pounds ($220 million), funded from cash and existing facilities, to increase its 50.6 percent stake.
Broker Panmure Gordon said the price of Friday's deal was significantly higher than market forecasts.
The broker had expected SSL to pay 150 million pounds for the remaining 49.4 percent stake based on a 2007 agreement but said the performance of the business since then had been better than expected, increasing its valuation.
"It's really a reflection of how well the underlying business in Russia is doing," said Panmure analyst Damian McNeela.
"We believe that the company to date has taken a prudent approach to integrating BLBV and regard this step as sensible in light of the anticipated roll out of the Scholl brand into Russia later this year," he added.
SSL added it had agreed a further option to buy out the remaining 25 percent from its partner Abraca in 2011.
It paid 90 million pounds for its 50.6 percent stake, acquired in two stages in 2008 and 2009.
It said the performance of BLBV had exceeded its expectations and it was optimistic on the potential for its products within the CIS and eastern Europe regions.
In November, SSL said Russia was set to become its biggest single market and it was likely to buy the rest of fast-growing BLBV -- SSL expects BLBV's dollar reported revenues to have grown 50 percent from 2007 to 2009.
SSL said it expects the deal to be earnings enhancing in the first year following completion.
Shares in SSL, which have risen by 20 percent in the last three months, were up 0.4 percent at 1112 GMT, valuing the company at about 1.64 billion pounds.
