We are looking to hire more people in M&A and Finance in Germany at TSS (full-time, intern, working student). TSS is part of Topicus $TOI / Constellation Software $CSU. It's a very interesting environment to be in with lots of opportunities to learn. Fluent German is required

$DATG Datalab valuation at EUR 11 per share is ~24m MC / 22m EV. I expected FY23 revs of ~32m and EBITDA ~6.6m (20% growth yoy) implying multiples of 0.7x EV/Revs and 3.3x EV/EBITDA. For a leading ERP software provider in Slovenia/Balcans. The acquirers are true value investors..

$BHU SUTL with good 1H 2023. 9% top line + 25% EPS growth despite winding down operations in Malaysia and Nirup Island not yet in the numbers. Growth should accelerate going forward. SUTL also announced creating a new subsidiary in Australia. Might see a new marina there soon

@NotMarkLeonard He talked a lot about the history of CSI. How they started out, how they came up with the ratios, best practices etc. But I guess most of this is also public somewhere. What's nice to see is that he stayed so humble

But it's quite typical to see M&A activity come in waves. One year you don't close a single acquisitions and then the other you do multiple

@BerkelKip @InteropabilityS Germany is one of the most competitive markets in Europe for VMS, which is driving up prices. Polish valuations are way lower. But a lot of companies are public making processes more complex. Also less targets given that private enterprises could only be founded post 1990

@elclassico000 Well, it used to be a completely different company. They sold it I believe in 2021 in an asset deal. So they were left with a listed entity that only had cash, which they then started to use in acquisitions. They usually buy at 4-6x EBIT
