IN Groupe successfully finalized the acquisition of IDEMIA Smart Identity to establish itself as a global leader in secure identity solutions and trust services. This transaction, the largest in IN Groupe's history, significantly scales the group’s operations, tripling its workforce to 4,000 employees and pushing consolidated revenues above €1 billion. The deal is strategically designed to merge the geographical, commercial, and technological complementarities of both entities, creating a dominant European champion capable of competing on a global scale. By internalizing IDEMIA Smart Identity's expertise, IN Groupe strengthens its control over the entire identity value chain and accelerates its international growth, particularly in the expanding digital identity and "phy-gital" markets.

IDEMIA SMART IDENTITY, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, 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 (12.8x).
