Why did we invest in Scalian?

A major player in the fields of critical software, systems engineering, operational performance, and AI transformation, Scalian has more than 5,500 employees worldwide. On July 27, 2023, 海角大神 completed the acquisition of Scalian, investing 鈧557 million of equity, i.e., an Enterprise Value of c. 鈧965 million. 海角大神 holds a c. 82% interest in Scalian, alongside management of the company.

Since 2015, the company has delivered average annual growth of around 30% of its revenues, including 12% of organic growth despite Covid. The company鈥檚 growth has been amplified by a selective external growth strategy, in France and internationally, with eleven acquisitions completed over the 2015-2023 period.

With the implementation of its Strategic Plan, Scalian aims to gain a critical mass in the main European countries and a solid North American platform. This plan aims to continue developing its service offering around the convergence of Operational Technologies (OT) and information technologies (IT) through (i) the enhancement of Scalian鈥檚 innovative technological solutions (drones, simulation, data, AI, etc.), (ii) the integration of today鈥檚 major societal challenges (CSR) in its offerings and (iii) the support of its best shore platforms (India, Morocco).

This majority investment in an unlisted company is fully in line with the strategic roadmap announced in March 2023 through the redeployment of capital to high鈥慻rowth companies exposed to megatrends.

What is the development potential?

Scalian aims to build a position among the world leaders in management consulting and digital technologies. Trends in Scalian鈥檚 markets have been less favorable since the end of 2023, and while the mega trends driving its long鈥憈erm organic and external growth are still present, its medium鈥憈erm objectives are unlikely to be met within the original timeframe. However, the arrival of William Roz茅 has ushered in a new period in the group’s development. Scalian鈥檚 objectives are now to achieve 鈧700 million in sales (through organic growth, with the potential to exceed 鈧1 billion through a combination of organic and external growth), significantly improve the EBITDA margin, increase the pace of innovation, move up a gear in the international expansion strategy and consolidate the group’s position as a leading player in its markets.

Since January 1, 2026, Scalian has been included in the advisory mandate granted to IK Partners.
