STELLIANT acquired by APAX PARTNERS

FRANCE Insurance EV 100M - 350M EUR

Context

The acquisition of Texa by Apax Partners represents a major turning point in the professionalization of the French loss adjustment market. The strategic rationale for this transaction centers on an "industrial-consolidation" play, merging the group's industry-leading technical operational depth in P&C expertise with the sponsor's extensive expertise in executing high-velocity buy-and-build strategies. This structural alignment provides the organization with the institutional capital and strategic hardware required to address the increasing complexity of the "mass-claim" and technical risk segments. This operation allows the organization to execute a definitive structural expansion of its service suite, particularly by moving into upstream and downstream activities such as third-party management and in-kind repairs.

STELLIANT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2011, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Financial Services sector (13.9x).

The fifth LBO of Texa represents a major turning point in the organization's trajectory, signaling a shift toward industrialized claims management and real estate services. The strategic rationale for this transaction centers on an "external-growth" play, merging the group’s industry-leading technical operational depth in loss adjustment with the sponsor’s extensive expertise in executing high-velocity build-up strategies. This structural alignment provides the organization with the institutional capital and strategic hardware required to address the increasing complexity of the property and casualty insurance market. This operation allows the group to execute a definitive structural expansion of its service suite, particularly by building upon previous successful integrations like Geop and Eurisk. By incorporating the sponsor's strategic discipline, the organization is now positioned to leverage its recognized leadership in "repair-in-kind" solutions to drive deeper market penetration among primary European insurance carriers.
