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.

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.
