EUROPASTRY acquired by MCH PRIVATE EQUITY

SPAIN Food Processing / Food Products / Bakery / Pastry REV 250M - 500M EUR

Context

MCH Private Equity acquired 18% stake in Europastry in a transaction that allowed for the exit of the historical shareholder Vall Companys (which previously held 24%). Concurrently, the founding Gallés family increased their majority stake to 80%, reaffirming their long-term commitment. The deal was supported by a €200 million syndicated loan to restructure the company's debt and provide the "dry powder" necessary for its global buy-and-build strategy. This investment marked the beginning of a 15-year partnership that saw Europastry's revenue grow five-fold, transforming it from a national champion into one of the top five global players in the frozen bakery market.

EUROPASTRY, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2010, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the AgriFood sector (10.2x).
