23 Oct 2024 19:33 CEST

Paris, October 23, 2024 – Umalis Group, a key player in the wage portage sector, today announces the launch of a €10 million fundraising campaign in exchange for 40% of the company’s capital. The company has recently signed several agreements with fundraising experts. If successful, this fundraising will align with the group's growth strategy, aimed at strengthening its position in a rapidly expanding market and financing key acquisitions.

Overview of Umalis Group and Financial Performance

Founded in 2008, Umalis Group has generated a consolidated pro forma turnover of over €120 million since its inception, with a consolidated pro forma turnover of €2.650 million in 2023. This performance reflects prudent management and steady growth, confirming the company's 1% market share in the wage portage sector in France.

Market Opportunity: Rapid Growth in the Wage Portage Sector

The wage portage market was valued at €2 billion in 2023 and is experiencing an annual growth rate of 20%. Estimates suggest that the market could reach €10 billion within the next 10 years. Umalis Group is positioned to capture a significant share of this growth by acquiring complementary companies, which would add €40 million to the group’s turnover, bringing the consolidated pro forma turnover to €62 million.

Investment Proposal and Growth Strategy

The proposed capital increase of €10 million currently values Umalis Group at €25 million. These funds will be used to finance a series of strategic acquisitions (targeting €30 million in additional turnover), strengthening the group’s market position. Umalis Group also plans to merge its various entities into a single structure through TUP (Transmission Universelle de Patrimoine), simplifying its organization and improving operational efficiency.

Transfer to Euronext Growth

As part of this fundraising, Umalis Group intends to transfer its listing to Euronext Growth, providing increased visibility and liquidity to investors. This transfer will also position Umalis Group on a stock market platform that is aligned with its growth ambitions.

Investment Return Potential

The group's goal is to reach a market capitalization of €40 million. The planned acquisitions will allow Umalis Group to double its turnover and maximize profit margins through synergies. The long-term prospects, combined with a rapidly expanding market, provide investors with the opportunity to benefit from an increased valuation of their shares and attractive potential returns.

Experienced Management Team and Clear Strategy

Christian Person, CEO and founder of Umalis Group, leads an experienced team and has a clear vision for the company’s development. The company has also signed two non-exclusive mandates with fundraising experts, demonstrating its commitment to successfully completing this operation and ensuring high-quality support throughout the process.

Next Steps and Investor Guarantees

The planned mergers through TUP and upcoming acquisitions will create a unified and more efficient entity, while reducing costs and increasing margins. The legal framework established for these transactions ensures optimal risk management for investors, providing solid growth and profitability prospects.

Conclusion

This fundraising represents a unique opportunity for investors to partner with Umalis Group’s growth in a rapidly expanding market. The strategic development plan, supported by an experienced management team and robust market prospects, offers significant return on investment opportunities.
