Context
Destia has completed its fourth leveraged buyout (LBO) as part of a capital restructuring aimed at financing a new phase of growth in France and Europe.

Additional participants in the new round of financing include BNP Paribas Développement, MACSF, Azulis, Carvest, Après demain, and Mutuelles Impact. This deal enables the group to bolster its financial resources, allowing it to pursue its development strategy, which focuses on expanding its network of agencies and accelerating its acquisition program.

The transaction was advised by Houlihan Lokey and Agilys Avocats on the seller side, and by CACIB and Hogan Lovells on behalf of the new investors.
DESTIA, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.0x).
