INFORMATICA INC acquired by SALESFORCE INC
Context
Salesforce has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Informatica for a total consideration of $8 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Salesforce will pay $25 per share in cash to Informatica’s shareholders. This successful bid comes after a previous attempt in 2024, valued at approximately $11 billion, failed to materialize. Since that time, Informatica's market capitalization had decreased by 40%, allowing Salesforce to secure the asset at a more favorable valuation. Prior to this deal, the company was largely controlled by a consortium led by Permira and CPPIB, who took the firm private in 2015 before re,listing it in 2021. The strategic rationale for the acquisition is the deployment of a "performant and responsible agentic AI" platform. By combining Informatica’s data catalog, governance, and MDM capabilities with Salesforce’s Data Cloud, MuleSoft, and Tableau, the group aims to power its "Agentforce" initiative. This integration will allow autonomous agents to access high,quality, governed data to deliver more accurate and secure business outcomes.
INFORMATICA INC, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.4x).
