Acquisition of strong local German market participant Gustoco
Today November 24, OrderYOYO has signed an agreement to acquire German based online ordering company Gustoco.
Founded in 2015 in Bielefeld, Gustoco has built a strong market position within the market for online ordering software for takeaway restaurants in Germany in particular in the North Westfalen Region. Serving more than 250 Restaurant Partners generating more than DKK 120m in gross merchandise value (“GMV”) (October 2023 annualized). Gustoco will add approximately DKK 4m to OrderYOYO annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and will contribute to further profitability.
Gustoco shares the same vision of liberating restaurants as OrderYOYO. A strong match that will reinforce OrderYOYO’s market leading position in Germany.
Gustoco will join the OrderYOYO organization and we at OrderYOYO are excited about Gustoco joining our Group and welcome our new Gustoco colleagues. Gustoco founder Phillip Lindemann will with his strong product profile continue in OrderYOYO as VP of Product.
OrderYOYO will acquire Gustoco in a transaction valuing Gustoco at DKK 8.8m, of which DKK 5.3m will be paid in newly issued OrderYOYO shares and the remaining DKK 3.5m will be paid in cash. The newly issued shares will be issued through a directed issue at closing of the transaction and will correspond to less than 1% of OrderYOYO’s share capital.
The transaction values Gustoco at 2.2x annualized ARR (October 2023) corresponding approximately to a 22% discount to OrderYOYO’s current ARR-multiple of 2.8x.
The acquisition is proof of OrderYOYO’s acquisition strategy acquiring strong local market participants contributing to continued growth and contributing to increase in shareholder value.
As European market leader, we keep seeing increased consolidation opportunities in our markets. Our consolidation strategy focuses on two types of acquisition targets:
- Local market leaders in European countries where OrderYOYO is currently not present to expand our European market leading position, and
- Local participants in the markets where OrderYOYO is already market leader to drive economies of scale and increased profitability for the Group
The Gustoco transaction is an excellent proof of the part of OrderYOYO’s acquisition strategy focusing on local participants and the acquisition will drive economies of scale and increase profitability for the Group even further.
Closing is expected to occur on November 30, 2023.
