Jenama Dainese Dijual pada EUR1.00

Jenama ikonik Dainese telah dijual dengan harga simbolik EUR1 (1 Euro), setelah menanggung hutang yang mencecah sekitar EUR300 juta.

Jualan ini diatur oleh dana berpusat di London, Arcmont Asset Management dan HPS Investment Partners (yang baru-baru ini diambil alih oleh BlackRock), yang mengambil alih daripada dana pelaburan Carlyle. Carlyle, sebaliknya, telah memperoleh Dainese daripada Investcorp dengan harga EUR630 juta pada tahun 2022.

Berita mengejutkan ini dilaporkan oleh majalah Sport E Finanza. Walaubagaimanapun, Dainese sendiri belum mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi mengenai perkara ini, begitu juga dengan Arcmont dan HPS.

Jenama Dainese telah bergelut dengan hutang setelah mencatatkan kerugian selama tiga tahun berturut-turut, dengan defisit mencecah EUR120 juta pada tahun lepas. Prestasi yang lemah ini menyebabkan hutangnya melambung kepada EUR300 juta berbanding EBITDA (pendapatan sebelum faedah, cukai, susut nilai, dan pelunasan) sebanyak EUR20 juta, yang memberikan nisbah hutang:EBITDA sebanyak 15:1.

Pemilik baharu telah menyatakan hasrat mereka dengan jelas: untuk mengukuhkan struktur kewangan Dainese dan meningkatkan fleksibilitinya setelah menghadapi cabaran pasaran. Namun, belum ada berita mengenai nasib pekerja, pembekal, dan pelanggan Dainese.

Hanya masa yang akan menentukan masa depan jenama ikonik ini.

Shocking News! Dainese Sold for EUR1.00

The iconic brand Dainese has been sold for a symbolic EUR1 (1 Euro), after accruing a mountain of debt of around EUR300 million.

The sale was orchestrated by London-based funds Arcmont Asset Management and HPS Investment Partners (recently acquired by BlackRock), who took over from the Carlyle invesment fund. Carlyle, on the other hand, had acquired Dainese from Ivestcorp for EUR630 million in 2022.

The shocking news was reported by the Sport E Finanza magazine. However, Dainese themselves have not posted such news, and neither did Arcmont and HPS.

The Dainese brand had been struggling with debt after posting three consecutive years of losses, culminating in a EUR120 million deficit last year. That lacklustre performance saw its debt soar to EUR300 million over an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of EUR20 million, which translates to a debt:EBITDA ratio of 15:1.

The new owners have stated their intention clearly: to strengthen Dainese’s financial structure and improve its flexibility after facing market challenges. However, there is yet news on the employees, suppliers, and customers of Dainese.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Dainese.

OFFICIAL: American Private Equity Firm Purchased Dainese For RM2.9 Billion

Investcorp has officially sold the Dainese group of brands to an American private equity firm for a reported EUR630 million (RM2.9 bil).

In a statement by the company dated 11 March 2022, Investcorp has reached an agreement on the sale of Dainese SpA to global investment firm the Carlyle Group.

Under the Investcorp’s ownership, Dainese doubled its sales to EUR250 million. The Italian also evolved from product-focused business into a global standard for dynamic sport protection.

“Six years ago when we invested in Dainese, the founder Lino Dainese said he wanted a partner that shares his passion and ambition for his company.

“It’s satisfying to know that Investcorp have been that partner to Dainese, as under our leadership we facilitated EBITDA growth of more than five times and created a business well positioned for continued success.

“We will continue on our mission to support exceptional Italian brands in their journey to become world leaders. Gucci, Riva Boats and Dainese are just a few of Italy’s best that we had the honour to partner with and support – that mission shall continue at Investcorp,” said Hazem Ben-Gacem, Co-CEO at Investcorp.

Meanwhile, The Carlyle Group is looking to expand Dainese’s distriibution network by adding other brands into the group.

The new acquisition will also boost Dainese’s effort in increasing rider’s safety on and off the track typically in the airbag safety apparel market.
