Major acquisitons in the hospitality sector, in order to create an „all in one solution“ for integrated systems of technological solutions in software of the Tourismus industry.
Epsilon acquires a majority stake in 3 business software companies:
- 70% of English „Hotel Availabilities Ltd“ for € 98.000, active in the development of Channel Manager systems
- 55% of Greek „BookOnlineNow IKE“ for € 220.000, active in dev. of online booking engine systems
- 55% of Cypriot „HotelonCloud Ltd.“ for € 180.000 a strategic distributor ob BookOnline Now abroad.
These transactions are part of the groups development policy in dynamic vertical markets and the creation of an integrated portfolio of product solutions & services.
What I really like about Epsilon Net‘s acquisitions:
- all are already (highly) profitable with profit margins between 22% and 64%
- all have zero debt
- Epsilon was able to acquire them for low single digit earnings multiples: 3.5x / 5x / 4x
