EQS-Adhoc: HomeToGo announces agreement on key terms for the acquisition of vacation rental management company Interhome

HomeToGo announces agreement on key terms for the acquisition of vacation rental management company Interhome

Luxembourg, 23 January 2025 – HomeToGo SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: HTG) announces that today, following an auction proceeding and based on exclusive negotiations, it has reached an agreement on key commercial terms with Migros for the acquisition of Interhome. A purchase price (enterprise value) for the transaction in the low three-digit million range in Swiss francs is expected, including deferred payments of up to a high double-digit Swiss francs million amount.

The acquisition of Interhome would integrate Europe’s second largest vacation rental management company into the HomeToGo Group. Interhome is offering approximately 40,000 high-quality vacation rentals across 28 countries, which are largely under exclusive management. This acquisition would expand HomeToGo’s portfolio of software and tech-enabled service solutions across the entire host-to-guest value chain. It would represent HomeToGo’s most significant transaction to date.

HomeToGo management expects that the acquisition would substantially improve HomeToGo’s profitability and Free Cash Flow generation. On a combined pro-forma basis, should the transaction be completed, management estimates that HomeToGo Group’s IFRS Revenues in 2024 would amount to over €330M and Adjusted EBITDA in 2024 would amount to over €30M. Building on Interhome’s significant potential, HomeToGo management is targeting a mid and high double digit million Euro pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA for HomeToGo Group in the short and medium term, respectively.

The transaction would be financed through a combination of (i) a capital increase of the Company’s equity share capital against cash, (ii) a senior debt facility for which a financing agreement is in place, subject to customary closing conditions, and (iii) available net cash. The signing of the final share purchase agreement is currently anticipated in Q1 2025, with completion subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.

As the discussions are ongoing and a definitive share purchase agreement has not yet been signed and is expected to be subject to certain closing conditions, there is no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.
