The transaction highlights a broader structural consolidation trend in European luxury, following LVMH's transformative €3.7 billion takeover of Bulgari.

POMELLATO, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2012, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.0x).

Target

Pomellato is a high-end Milanese jeweler renowned for its colorful gemstone designs, artisanal craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury positioning. Founded in 1967 by Pino Rabolini, the company introduced the concept of "prêt-à-porter" (ready-to-wear) jewelry, shifting the industry from traditional heirloom pieces to daily, fashion-forward luxury statement wear. Its business model relies on strong brand iconography, backed by high-profile marketing campaigns (featuring celebrities like Tilda Swinton), and a product mix that balances high-margin fine jewelry with its highly successful, younger accessible line, DoDo (famous for its animal-shaped charms and pendants). The organization operates an international omni-channel retail network, consisting of direct mono-brand boutiques, high-end department store corners, and selective wholesale partners. Strategically, the firm acts as a prime mid-sized target in a highly fragmented Italian jewelry market dominated by small, family-owned enterprises.
