November has been eventful with several Q3 2024 reports across the SaaS sector and the announcement that Visma will make a voluntary recommended public takeover offer to purchase all shares in Penneo for approx. DKK 562m (DKK 16.50 per share, a premium of approx. 110%), corresponding to EV/ARR of approx. 5.8x. The takeover/acquisition ARR multiple is also significantly above the median ARR multiple of 3.4x of the Danish SaaS sector by the end of November 2024, yet somewhat close to other recent acquisitions from Digizuite (6.9x ARR) and Relesys (5.1x ARR). Across the broader global/US SaaS sector, software shares rebounded significantly in November. The median ARR multiple increased to 7.3x by the end of November 2024 (from 6.9x ARR) based on data from The SaaS Capital Index.
Penneo forventer at offentliggøre regnskabet for Q3 2024 den 20. november 2024. Samme dag kl. 12:00 vil Penneos CEO Christian Stendevad og CFO Casper Christiansen præsentere kvartalsregnskabet og de seneste nyheder i et online live-event. Præsentationen vil blive efterfulgt af en Q&A session.
