Its operating structure includes independently managed investment holdings and advisory companies, with investment and divestment decisions made by the applicable investment or holding-company boards independently from other group companies.[1]
Investindustrial describes an investment approach that includes operational improvement, industrial partnerships, M&A with strategic or synergistic value, internationalisation, product and market expansion, digitisation and other operational value-creation initiatives.
The firm states that only 5% of deals reviewed have passed all levels of due diligence and resulted in an investment. The public statement does not attribute this figure to a particular fund, sector or transaction.[2][3]
Owners evaluating a financial buyer can compare the offer with independent valuation analysis, understand how acquirers approach transactions through Auxo’s buy-side M&A process guide, and consider whether a full or partial sale best fits their objectives.
What should a business owner evaluate before considering a transaction with Investindustrial?
For an owner evaluating a control investment or sale, the stated criteria make majority ownership, mid-market scale, family ownership, global revenues and growth potential important points to clarify. The stated value-creation model also makes operational resources, internationalisation, digitisation, industrial partnerships and M&A appropriate topics for diligence.
An owner should confirm the applicable revenue, EBITDA, enterprise-value and geographic parameters; whether majority control is required; what minority or rollover structures may be available; which operational resources and decision rights would apply; how leverage, M&A, management incentives and reinvestment would be handled; and which legal entity, fund and regulated adviser would contract with the seller.[1][2][6]
