🇪🇪 ImpactPCB
Electronics · Estonia · €150k
PCB design and manufacturing technology.
Deal angle: Angel syndicate investment up to €150k; early M&A or growth candidate
Thesis: ImpactPCB offers Baltic acquirers low-cost access to PCB design IP for electronics vertical integration, trading at a sharp discount to regional 7-9x EV/EBITDA peers despite manufacturing upside. €150k entry via angel syndicate supports early M&A optionality before scale. Primary risk is thin sector margins (4.9-9.7% at TKM/Grigeo) limiting exit multiples without proven EBITDA.
🇱🇹 Impuls
Fitness · Lithuania
Fitness club chain.
Deal angle: PE-owned exit candidate via parent Exercise Investment sale
Thesis: Impuls provides BaltCap an exit for its scaled Lithuanian fitness chain amid Exercise Investment sale, with potential 7-9x EV/EBITDA pricing versus Apranga (8.6x) or Tallink (7.6x) at similar 10-15% margins. Strategic buyers gain Baltic market density and membership cash flows for cross-selling or roll-ups. Consumer cyclicality remains the core risk given peer margin dispersion.
🇱🇹 Lemon GymDEEP DIVE
Fitness · Lithuania
Chain of fitness clubs.
Deal angle: PE-owned exit candidate via parent Exercise Investment sale
Thesis: Lemon Gym represents a rare Baltic fitness platform exit via BaltCap/Exercise Investment, attractive for regional consolidators seeking Lithuanian scale at 7–9x EV/EBITDA (cf. Apranga 8.6x, Tallink 7.6x). An acquirer gains immediate club network density and membership cash flows with cross-border expansion optionality. Risk is margin volatility, given peer EBITDA margins of 5–15% amid rising energy and rent costs.
CHARLOTTENLUND THAI TAKE AWAY ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Charlottenlund Thai Take Away provides Baltic food/retail groups (TKM, Apranga) a bolt-on to test Danish takeaway at 7-9x EBITDA, below TKM’s 15.1x and near Grigeo’s 5.6x, while adding higher-margin channels to their low 5-10% EBITDA businesses. Buyer gains immediate CVR-tracked gross-profit visibility and Nordic brand for regional roll-up. Risk is sparse public filings limiting quality-of-earnings assessment.
Biolab A/S
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Biolab A/S offers a low-disclosure Danish acquisition at an implied discount to Baltic peers trading 5.6-9.1x EV/EBITDA. A strategic buyer gains a gross-profit reporting entity with potential tax or restructuring synergies in the Nordic-Baltic corridor. Key risk: limited EBITDA visibility and no sector overlap with listed Baltic multiples may cap exit valuation.
Deep Dive
🇱🇹 Lemon Gym
Fitness · Lithuania · PE-owned exit candidate via parent Exercise Investment sale
Company Overview
Lemon Gym operates a chain of fitness clubs across Lithuania, delivering membership-based access to gym facilities with recurring revenue from monthly subscriptions. As a private company with revenue below €10M, it functions as a scaled but regionally focused platform within the Baltic fitness sector, benefiting from network density in a market where physical club presence drives customer retention.
Deal Context
The transaction stems from BaltCap’s exit of parent Exercise Investment, positioning Lemon Gym as a PE-owned carve-out rather than a founder-led sale or growth equity round. Likely buyers include regional consolidators (e.g., Estonian or Latvian fitness chains) or strategic operators seeking immediate Lithuanian scale and membership cash flows, with optionality for cross-border roll-ups.
Valuation Context
Baltic listed peers trade at 5.6x–15.1x EV/EBITDA (Apranga 8.6x, Tallink 7.6x, Grigeo 5.6x), providing a ceiling. For a sub-€10M private asset, a 20–30% illiquidity and size discount implies a realistic 7–9x EV/EBITDA exit multiple, consistent with the thesis. Revenue multiples would likely compress to 1.0–1.5x given typical fitness EBITDA margins of 8–12% after energy and rent pressures.
Triage Verdict
GO
- Fit: Matches regional consolidator criteria in a sector with proven Baltic exit multiples and recurring cash-flow characteristics.
- Red flags: Limited public track record and exposure to volatile input costs create execution uncertainty for non-local buyers.
- Next step: Request data room access focused on club-level EBITDA, membership churn, and lease renewal schedules.
Key Risk
Sustained margin compression from rising energy and rent costs could push realized EBITDA below the 7–9x entry assumption.
Lemon Gym provides concrete Baltic fitness deal flow at a defensible private discount to listed peers.
