FNAC DARTY Further details on the bid offe for La Grande Récré

LSA reported yesterday further details on Fnac Darty’s bid offer for La Grande Récré, which is still subject to a court ruling in the second half of July. The acquisition would be very cheap (only EUR16m) for 106 stores, but it also implies a substantial investment plan (EUR115m of CAPEX) to fuel an ambitious turnaround plan: 1/ narrow price gap with competitors; 2/ digitalize the business model and; 3/ bet on cross-selling through the roll-out of shop-in-shops and click & collect options. At this early stage and given the details available, we now estimate the deal could be positive on Fnac Darty’s 2018-21e CAGR growth (+90bp) and slightly dilutive on EBIT margins (-30bp on average over the period).

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
