Latour Capital has successfully completed the capital reorganization of European Digital Group, acquiring a 30% stake alongside historical partner Montefiore Investment. This "LBO Bis" transaction, orchestrated by Lazard, was highly competitive, attracting interest from major funds such as Towerbrook and Marlin Equity Partners. The deal is strictly engineered to fuel a massive scale-up phase, aiming to quadruple the group’s revenue from €250M to €1Bn by 2028. To adequately capitalize this ambition, a senior debt package was arranged by a syndicate including CACIB, La Banque Postale, BNP Paribas, and Allianz, representing a leverage of approximately 4x EBITDA. This new funding cycle focuses on aggressive internationalization—targeting 35% of revenue from abroad by 2028—and the continued acquisition of specialists, particularly Salesforce and ServiceNow integrators.

EUROPEAN DIGITAL GROUP (EDG), which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.6x).
