Rivalis-Henrri acquired by Management & Private Investors
Context
The founders of Rivalis-Henrri have bought back the 20% stake held by Ardian Growth. This transaction is a classic sponsorless management buyout, marking the complete exit of the private equity fund that had supported the company since its delisting several years prior. The founding management team effectively leveraged a comprehensive senior debt package, syndicated by a consortium of historical banking partners, to repurchase all outstanding externally held shares and regain total corporate control. Crucially, the carefully structured debt facility simultaneously secures vital capital reserves specifically earmarked to trigger the company's inaugural inorganic growth phase. While reclaiming full independence today, the leadership remains open to future capital partnerships once their upcoming acquisition roadmap matures.
Rivalis-Henrri, which reported an EBITDA margin of [members only] in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of [members only], to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (14.6x in 2026).
