Credit Mutuel Equity and Bpifrance invested a joint equity ticket of approximately EUR10 million to acquire a minority stake in Adial. The operation is structured as an Owner Buy-Out (OBO) around the President who took over the company in 2015 and retains the majority stake. The deal is supported by senior debt provided by CIC Nord-Ouest and Bred. The capital injection aims to support the company's hyper-growth (42% CAGR), triple its size within 5 years, and expand its "Gang of Pizzas" franchise. Strategic initiatives include launching a rental model for machines (shifting from Capex to Opex for clients) and diversifying into panini vending machines.

ADIAL, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN discount to the 10.1x average currently observed in the AgriFood sector.
