Context

Societe Generale Capital Partenaires (SGCP) invested EUR1.5 million into the holding company of Groupe LAFRETO. This capital injection is strategically aimed at reducing the group's seasonality exposure.

Furthermore, the investment supports a recruitment plan for 20 positions and potential future external growth operations.

LAFRETO OUTDOOR (GLISS SHOP), which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2020, 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).
