MON VETO acquired by ARDIAN

FRANCE Health Providers / Outpatient Care / Vet Clinics REV 100M - 200M EUR

Context

Ardian acquired a minority stake (approximately 20%) in Mon Veto through a primary capital increase. This "pure cash-in" operation was designed to strengthen the group's equity base without any cash-out for the founding veterinarians. The transaction supports Mon Veto's aggressive buy-and-build strategy in a rapidly consolidating European market. The partnership aims to accelerate the group's domestic expansion and facilitate its entry into highly fragmented international markets, such as Italy and Spain. The existing unitranche debt facility provided by Barings was maintained and extended to support future external growth, ensuring the group remains a top independent contender against large international corporate aggregators.

MON VETO, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Healthcare & Pharma sector (14.8x).
