Jerome France, EMI, despre tranzactia cu Morphosis Capital: Nu am cautat bani, puteam sa am o evaluare cu multipli mai mari, cautam un consultant gratuit implicat pentru o crestere a firmei prin M&A. Tinta mea este exitul final, peste 7-10 ani. Cum cresti valoarea unei afaceri in timp de criza

“Tranzactia pe care am facut-o cu acest consortiu, cu Morphosis Capital ca si lider, este un pas intermediar.  Eu pentru firma mea am de 2-3 ani o viziune care este foarte clara. Eu vreau sa pot sa ies si pentru asta am avut mai multe variante, am avut si o propunere de investitor strategic, dar era prea devreme si eu am vrut sa merg mai departe prin achizitii de tip M&A. Pentru asta, eu singur nu aveam experienta, eu stiu sa fac business-ul meu. Am invatat din diferite crize anterioare. Am avut un business care era foarte solid. Nu avem nicio datorie, nu am nici macar un leasing de masina. Am reusit sa construiesc un business foarte sanatos“, a declarat Jerome France, fondator EMI, la MIRSANU DEALMAKERS SUMMIT 2021, al patrulea eveniment anual organizat de catre jurnalul de tranzactii MIRSANU.RO.

“Eu nu cautam bani, eu cautam un consultant gratuit implicat pentru ca sa poti sa cresti afacerea prin operatiune de M&A.  Puteam sa facem singuri, sa chemam anumiti consultanti ca sa vina langa mine. Dar ca si antreprenor, mie imi pare ceva care este destul de riscant pentru ca nu era ceva cu care eram eu obisnuit. Am preferat sa mergem in directia aceasta. Banii nu au fost tinta, au fost consecinta“, adauga Jerome France.

“Am gasit in echipa, atat in Morphosis, cat si in grupul de family office care e langa Morphosis, o echipa de profesionisti care stie sa faca aceasta crestere si atunci asta mi-a dat incredere. Am avut discutii si cu alte fonduri private equity care au avut o abordare mai pe cifre, dar inca o data nu este ce am cautat eu, puteam sa am o evaluare cu multipli mai mari, dar eu am avut o proiectie care merge mai departe. Tinta mea este exitul final pe care o sa-l facem impreuna. Tranzactia care a avut loc acum cateva luni este doar o etapa intermediara“, a spus fondatorul furnizorului de usi industriale EMI.

“Noi in momentul de fata avem o cifra de afaceri de 14 – 15 mil. euro si vrem sa o ridicam la 50 mil. euro. Pentru asta avem o serie de tranzactii M&A, in momentul de fata avem 2 dosare care sunt destul de avansate, care sunt in Belgia, avand in vedere ca in consortiu este si un grup de family office din Belgia, este mai usor pentru noi pentru ca avem niste oameni care sunt bine implicati si stiu bine piata. Belgia pentru noi este prioritate, ne uitam si in Romania pe cateva subiecte, dar nu numai, avem si in Franta un subiect si vom deschide ceva si in Bulgaria. O sa fim oportunisti ne uitam mai intai in Belgia si apoi in celelalte zone si in functie de profilul companiei“, afirma Jerome France.

Intrebat daca este interesat de achizitia de linii noi de afaceri, acesta a raspuns: “Business-uri noi, nu. Noi am reusit pentru ca am ramas axati pe business-ul nostru, acesta fiind usi industriale de la productie la mentenanta ceea ce este lantul complet integrat. Am dovedit cu un nivel de profitabilitate buna al companiei ca prin activitatea de digitalizare pe care am condus-o ani de zile, prin ce am facut, stim sa fim competitivi pe piata din Romania. Noi vrem sa copiem modelul nostru si sa transformam companii in care putem sa investim in Belgia, in alta parte, dar prioritar in Belgia. Stim ca in Belgia preturile de piata sunt mult mai ridicate decat in Romania vizavi de produsele si serviciile noastre. Noi nu suntem producator de usi industriale, suntem un service supplier, noi furnizam gama completa. Am creat acest ecosistem, acest ecosistem il vom duplica si in Belgia in prima faza“.

Potrivit lui Jerome France, un exit din afacerea EMI va avea loc in termen de 7 – 10 ani, cand va fi atins si obiectivul de crestere al cifrei de afaceri a companiei la 50 mil. euro.

Legat de cresterea de valoare a unei afaceri si trecerea acesteia prin crize, fondatorul EMI isi explica viziunea.

“Ca sa poti sa cresti intr-o perioada atat de complicata este un lucru de durata, este in functie de ceea ce ai facut inainte. Eu consider ca aceasta perioada care a fost complicata cum a fost si in 2008 este, de fapt, un accelerator. Daca erai pe drumul cel bun atunci se concretizeaza si mai mult, ai si mai multe optiuni – ai zona de furnizori, zona de clienti, zona de echipe care sunt implicate si am vazut foarte multa miscare in aceasta perioada.  Daca te-ai comportat bine cu furnizorii, evident ca atunci cand intri in zona dificila unde nu mai gasesti produse, materii prime, unde nu mai gasesti resurse, furnizorii tai iti dau prioritate pentru ca de-a lungul timpului ai fost corect. Daca ai fost intotdeauna langa clientii tai, evident ca vei avea prioritate. Si am observat ceva si o sa vedem si anul viitor, cum s-au comportat companiile cu echipele lor pe timpul pandemiei. Noi cand am intrat in pandemie, am comunicat totul cu echipele noastre, orice se va intampla o sa va platim salariile la timp, chiar daca trebuie sa ne oprim sa muncim“, puncteaza Jerome France.

“Si acest comportament pe care l-am avut cu furnizorii, cu clientii, cu echipele noastre s-a vazut anul acesta si se va vedea si in 2022. Este o lipsa de resurse, o lipsa de forta de munca. Si acest ecosistem pe care il construiesti intr-o companie este cel care te ajuta sa treci peste dificultati si, mai mult decat atat, cand are dificultate multa lume, tu devii si mai puternic pentru ca esti inarmat pentru asta“, a mai spus Jerome France, fondator si CEO EMI, in cadrul panelului Cumparatori vs Vanzatori al evenimentului MIRSANU.RO.
