What is Enterprise Value (EV)?

Enterprise Value (EV) is a measure of a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt as well as any cash on the company's balance sheet.

What is the EV/EBITDA multiple and why is it used?

The EV/EBITDA multiple is a financial ratio that compares a company's Enterprise Value (EV) to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). It is widely used in M&A and valuation because it allows for comparisons between companies with different capital structures and provides a clear view of operational profitability.

POZEO acquired by SOCIETE GENERALE CAPITAL PARTENAIRES

FRANCE Automotive / Retail & Services REV 10M - 30M EUR

Context

Pozeo’s management, led by Nicolas Chauveau Pégaz and supported by Vincent Lejeune, took control of the group through a management buyout structured with Bpifrance (via France Investissement Tourisme 2) and Société Générale Capital Partenaires (with minority stakes). The strategic rationale was anchored in both a generational succession plan and a platform expansion strategy. Since 2017, Pozeo had broadened its scope beyond cinema‑focused vouchers to include general gift cheques, event tickets, marketing and event‑related services, and externalized committee‑enterprise solutions, reflecting a deliberate shift toward diversified lifestyle and employee‑benefit offerings. The MBO allowed the family‑linked management team to regain control while also giving the group access to long‑term institutional capital for further development. The integration of Nouvelle Lune in 2019 had already demonstrated the company’s ability to transform cinema‑centric origins into a wider gift and benefits platform, and the ownership change reinforced that trajectory.

POZEO, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2021, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.2x).
