NuCom Group acquires majority stake in Aroundhome (formerly K uferportal)
General Atlantic sells Aroundhome shares to NuCom in exchange for an additional stake in NuCom
NuCom aims for revenues of around 1 billion euros in 2019
Munich/Berlin, January 14, 2019 - The ProSiebenSat.1 Group continues to expand its high-growth commerce portfolio. To this end, the NuCom Group, the commerce business of ProSiebenSat.1, is increasing its voting shares in Aroundhome from 42 percent to 94 percent. The transaction has an enterprise value of 140 million euros. Aroundhome previously operated under the name K uferportal and was renamed on January 2, 2019.
Following the acquisition, the NuCom Group will hold a majority stake in each of its ten portfolio companies, consisting of consumer services and lifestyle brands. This marks an important strategic milestone for NuCom's investment strategy to increase to majority shareholdings and simplify its ownership structure.
Aroundhome, founded in 2008, is Germanys largest online broker for products and services around the house, helping millions of people to find the right local company when selecting a solar panel system, new windows or kitchen design. The company is the German equivalent to large digital US marketplaces for services, such as the ANGI Homeservice platforms HomeAdvisor and Angies List as well as Yelp. Aroundhome has been part of ProSiebenSat.1s commerce portfolio since November 2016.
Max Conze, CEO of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE: With the increase in Aroundhome shares, we now hold a majority stake in all of our commerce companies. This represents a strategically important milestone. We believe that based on organic growth and our successful acquisition activities, we will increase sales this year to around 1 billion euros. By 2023, we aim to achieve revenues of 2 billion euros with the NuCom Group.
The 52 percent stake increase is made up of voting shares* held by growth investor General Atlantic (42 percent) as well as of the founders Mario Kohle (8 percent) and Robin Behlau (2 percent). General Atlantic, which previously held 25.1 percent in the NuCom Group, exchanges its Aroundhome shares for a further interest in NuCom, now holding 28.4 percent in total. Founder Mario Kohle withdraws from the company with the sale of his shares. Robin Behlau retains 6 percent of voting shares and continues to manage the company.
J rn Nikolay, Managing Director General Atlantic and Head of Munich Office: This share exchange is a logical step in our partnership with the NuCom Group, underpinning our belief in further growth and the strength of the portfolio. We are simplifying the operational collaboration for Aroundhome while increasing our NuCom stake. At the same time, we are pleased that the founder Robin Behlau remains on board and continues to shape the development of Aroundhome.
Robin Behlau, Founder and CEO of Aroundhome: As a well-known brand, we and our suppliers will be even more trusted. The reach of ProSiebenSat.1 and the collaboration with NuCom are the essential driver for this. Anyone who thinks of main decisions around the house in the future will think of Aroundhome.
Since 2014, Aroundhome has increased its revenues by an average of 35 percent each year. In 2018, the company brokered around-home services worth 1 billion euros and has a network of 12,000 regional companies. Aroundhomes market potential in the DACH region amounts up to around 65** billion euros. In the coming years, the range will be expanded into further categories. Aroundhome is part of the NuCom Groups Consumer Advice vertical, which generates annual revenues of more than 250 million euros. This segment also includes Verivox and billiger-mietwagen.de. The transaction is subject to the approval of the relevant antitrust authorities.
