Context

Ecolab has completed the acquisition of 100% of Laboratoires Anios from Ardian and the Letartre family. This transaction represents a definitive exit for the private equity firm Ardian, which had supported the founding family in a 2013 LBO following a previous ownership cycle by Air Liquide. The strategic rationale for Ecolab is to establish a dominant foothold in the European hospital disinfection market, a segment where it was previously underrepresented. For Anios, the merger provides a global springboard, particularly to accelerate its expansion into the Chinese market. Over the three years of Ardian’s ownership, Anios achieved a 25% increase in revenue and a 55% jump in EBITDA, driven by a series of five strategic "bolt-on" acquisitions.

LABORATOIRES ANIOS, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2016, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (13.4x).
