NewPrinces S.p.A. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the share capital of Carrefour Italia from the French retail giant Carrefour Group. This landmark transaction represents a fundamental strategic pivot for NewPrinces, transforming it from a pure industrial manufacturer into a vertically integrated "Food & Retail" player. By acquiring a major national retailer, NewPrinces gains direct access to the end consumer, bypassing traditional intermediaries. The deal allows the group to aggressively promote its own extensive portfolio of brands (Princes, Napolina, Plasmon) directly on the shelf, optimize logistics costs by combining production and distribution networks, and develop new omnichannel sales platforms.

CARREFOUR ITALIA, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN discount to the 10.9x average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector.
