PROGER

Acquired by

GROUPE LACOUR

ITALY Software / Industry-Specific Software / Automotive EV 20M - 50M EUR

Context

Lacour has completed the acquisition of the Italian automotive services platform Proger, marking its third major international build-up since Carlyle took control in 2023. The acquisition was financed through an existing unitranche debt facility provided by Capza. The strategic rationale for the deal is to secure a dominant foothold in the Italian market while integrating Proger’s massive "ClipParts" database into Lacour’s broader software suite. This move brings Lacour’s consolidated revenue to approximately €70 million and expands its workforce to 450 people. Following successful entries into the UK and Italy, Lacour is now targeting further expansion into Spain and Germany for 2026 to complete its pan-European footprint.

PROGER, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN premium to the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.4x).
