GROUPE VILAVI acquired by HLD

FRANCE Brokerage EV 300M - 700M EUR

Context

HLD acquired a majority stake in Groupe Vilavi, primarily to facilitate the complete exit of the founder and former CEO, following a series of serious criminal indictments. The deal was uniquely funded mainly through equity from HLD and debt secured from five of the group's key insurance partners: Allianz France, Generali France, Swiss Life France, MFA, and Wakam. This "French solution" was preferred over industrial offers (such as from Allianz) to preserve the broker's independence and maintain its ability to work with multiple insurers. The strategic plan under HLD involves strengthening corporate governance, expanding healthcare and workplace risk services, and transitioning toward a wholesale brokerage model.

GROUPE VILAVI, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Financial Services sector (13.1x).
