DESSINTEY acquired by ARLANE
Context
Arlane has acquired a majority stake (approximately two-thirds) in Dessintey through a primary LBO. The transaction allows for the exit of early-stage investors Turenne Sante (via Relyens Innovation Sante) and Credit Agricole Haute-Loire, who invested in 2019. The three founders (Nicolas Fournier, Davy Luneau, Pascal Giraux) and key managers have reinvested alongside Arlane but are diluting their stakes. The deal is supported by a conservative senior debt package provided by CIC and LCL.
DESSINTEY, 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 Healthcare & Pharma sector (14.8x).
