Edison's comprehensive report, In good repair, was published today, and examines the investment case for Solera, the leading supplier of productivity solutions to the worldwide automotive repair industry.
Highlights from the analysis from Dan Ridsdale, head of Edison's Technology team, include:
Valuation toward the premium end of Solera's peer group, justified by the defensibility of the company's position, its strong earnings visibility and cash generation.
Solera is well placed to continue generating leverage through its 'industrialised private equity' acquisition model.
The company benefits from a global footprint and strong market position in all its key geographies.
Solera operates in 63 countries, holding number one or two market position in all its core markets. Audatex, its core product, is the leading solution for estimating repair costs and times globally. The company generated revenues of $790m in 2012 with $346m EBITDA, and is targeting growth to $2bn sales and $800m EBITDA by 2020.
