[#ArgosIndex®📈] 2nd quarter 2024: Discover the acquisition prices of unlisted European SMEs. For Louis Godron, Managing Partner at Argos Wityu 💬“In the second quarter of 2024, acquisition prices for unlisted eurozone SMEs stabilised at 8.9x EBITDA. The index was supported by the slow recovery in M&A activity in the mid-market, resulting from the stabilisation in macroeconomic conditions, together with a fall in inflation and expectations that the ECB would cut rates before the Fed. However, economic and political uncertainties are preventing a meaningful upturn in M&A activity. In addition, financing conditions are still the toughest in a decade and the cost of capital is high, and these factors remain a drag on valuations.” 👉 https://lnkd.in/eH8VRUUZ Video Louis Godron #valuation #midmarket #PE #MergerAndAcquisitions

[ #Portfolio 👏 ] Argos Wityu in exclusive negotiations to sell Coexya to the Talan group. In 2020, Argos Wityu acquired Sword France, the French business of the Sword group, with the involvement of staff and management, creating a new independent entity that was renamed Coexya in 2021.

To achieve that aim, the company’s development strategy has had four main aspects: 👉Simplifying the range of services offered – To support the group’s growth, a simplified range of services in seven specialist areas of expertise has been designed and implemented. 👉Building up the sales organisation – The group has continued to develop and build up its sales organisation in each area of expertise, focusing on an advisory approach and making the most of the sales team’s expertise, while putting in place initiatives to achieve group-wide synergies. 👉Strengthening central functions – Coexya has invested in all its strategic functions, particularly those related to business development, acquisitions, marketing, human resources and sales. 👉Making acquisitions – The group has made four major strategic acquisitions in the last four years: Geomod (2021), Aquilab (2022), Siris/CloudSpirit (2022) and PI Services (2023). 💬“Philippe Le Calvé and his teams have done outstanding work in delivering sustained organic growth and integrating some strategic acquisitions. We are confident that the combination with Talan will enable Coexya to continue expanding. We would like to thank the management team for our enjoyable and effective collaboration, and we wish them the best for the years to come.” added Karel Kroupa, Managing Partner at Argos Wityu.
