Mar 2014Undisclosed stageEurazeo (lead)$393M$3BDesigual is a Spanish fashion brand known for its colorful, positive, and affordable clothing products targeting a broad audience. In March 2014, Eurazeo invested €285 million via a capital increase and received 10% of the share capital from founder Thomas Meyer, marking a strategic partnership to accelerate international expansion and retail network development, including a new distribution hub in Barcelona. This transaction valued Desigual at €2.565 billion, a quadrupling from €700 million in 2012, with Eurazeo paying 11.7 times EBITDA—above the apparel sector average of 10 times. Desigual demonstrated exceptional growth leading into the deal, with revenues reaching €828 million in 2013, up 18% from 2012 and reflecting a tenfold increase since 2007 alongside 29% compound annual growth from 2009-2013. The company maintained a strong 29% EBITDA margin in 2013, underscoring operational efficiency and high profitability, with profit after tax at 16% of revenue and up 76% year-over-year. Governance and investment protection rights were granted to Eurazeo, aligning with its focus on global brands. The investment broke the mold for fashion deals, emphasizing growth potential and EBITDA multiples over sales margins, as noted by ESADE professor Jaime Sabal. Funds were earmarked to sustain retail expansion amid robust momentum in key markets. Desigual's trajectory positioned it for world-class brand status under joint leadership from CEO Manel Jadraque and Eurazeo Deputy CEO Virginie Morgon.
