M&A TRENDS – VALUATION METRICS
Company Size
§ The largest the company, the higher the multiple with key
thresholds (10M revenue; 50M revenue; 100M revenue…)
Profitability
§ EBITDA margin compared to peers may be the most
important comparison criteria when the companies’ sizes
are similar
Market position
§ A leading position within a local market improves a
valuation multiple, on the other hand, a mid-tier position
will drive a lower valuation.
Within the same sector, valuation multiples vary according to the size, profitability, and market
positioning of the company

DIFFERENT TYPE OF INVESTORS
Strategic and financial investors have different investment criteria and objectives involving
different sales strategies and structuring scenarios themselves
• Strategic investors are often competitors, suppliers or customers of the target.
• Their objective is to identify companies whose products or services can be integrated in synergy with their
existing portfolio or gain market share, in order to create long-term value for their shareholders.
• The main driver of the acquisition is strategic (vs. rapid return on investment). These buyers may also be
unconnected to the target and seek to expand in its market to diversify their revenue sources.
Strategic
investors
• Financial investors/buyers include private equity firms, hedge funds, family offices ...
• These players make investments in companies and achieve a return on investment within 5-7 years with a
sale or IPO.
• Some Family Offices have an unlimited time horizon and can invest large sums of money to support the
growth of the business at all stages of its development.
Financial
investors
These buyers have fundamentally different objectives, so the way they will approach
the activities of the targets in an M&A process will differ considerably.

Our experience in the luxury and retail sectors, our expertise in financial structuring, as well as
our privileged access to investors have enabled us to support the BEL-AIR FINE ART group in its
growth strategy over the years:
› GEREJE has been assisting the group since 2015. Thanks to 4 successive fundraisings, using
different structuring tools: equity, debt, crowdfunding and convertible bonds, managers have
been able to retain a majority stake throughout operations.
› GEREJE was also able to advise the group in the selection and approach of its partners. Since
the arrival in the capital of Apicap, BPI France and Initiative & Finance funds, the group has
gone from EUR 8m in 2015 to 25m in 2019 with a successful European expansion with the
opening of a:
o Flagship in Venice (Italy) – + EUR 3m sales in less than 24 months
o Gallery in Marbella (Spain)
o Gallery ub Knokke-Le-Zoute (Belgium)
o Gallery in Cannes (France)
o Gallery in Saint Tropez (France)
o Showroom in Paris (Paris)
› Despite the Covid-19 crisis, the Swiss Group continues its development with a 2020 turnover of
EUR 20m.

THE “GEREJE” PHILOSOPHY
In the 13th century, the Emperor Kublai Khan awarded
Marco Polo a gold tablet in the form of a long piece of
currency named « GEREGE » along with a password,
which ensured numerous privileges to the beholder.
With this golden passport, Marco Polo obtained all
necessary protections, supplies and assistance which
included horses, food and equipment for his safe return to
Venice accompanied by his immense fortune.
The GEREJE, first diplomatic passport,
ensuring safe and secure cross border
transactions, is a powerful symbol
matching perfectly our mission and goals
GEREJE team members share a common
passion in dealing with cross border
transactions and are united around the
GEREJE symbol reflecting our mind set as
well as our working philosophy.
