IMPLICO acquired by EGERIA
Context
Egeria, in partnership with the management team, has successfully finalized the acquisition of Implico’s SAP software business through a strategic carve-out transaction. This move involved the separation of the terminal management division into a standalone entity, OpenTAS GmbH, which remains with the previous shareholders. The strategic rationale for the acquisition centers on positioning the target as a dedicated growth platform for industry-specific SAP software solutions. By focusing exclusively on its role as a SAP Solution Extension (SOLEX) partner, the organization is poised to capitalize on the mandatory global migration to SAP S/4HANA and the discontinuation of legacy ECC support by 2027.
IMPLICO, 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 (14.4x).
