🇱🇹 Deltaco BalticDEEP DIVE
Consumer Electronics Wholesale · Lithuania
Wholesaler of IT accessories and consumer electronics.
Deal angle: Acquisition / merger activity
Thesis: Deltaco Baltic’s wholesale platform in Lithuania IT accessories draws strategic interest from regional retailers or electronics groups seeking Baltic distribution scale amid M&A activity. An acquirer would secure supplier contracts and cross-border reach at 7–9x EBITDA, in line with APG1L and GRG1L multiples. Margin pressure from thin wholesale spreads and import FX exposure remains the core risk versus higher-margin local peers.
Fox & Hounds A/S
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Fox & Hounds provides a low-transparency Danish entry point for Baltic groups seeking Nordic scale, trading at a potential discount to regional peers (5-9x EV/EBITDA, 9-15% margins). An acquirer secures gross-profit reporting stability and cross-border synergies in a consolidating market. Key risk is absent sector data versus listed names like Tallink or Tallinna Sadam, complicating valuation.
Kjær Andersen Holding ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Kjær Andersen offers a Danish gross-profit holding for Baltic buyers seeking CVR-based asset entry at a potential discount to 5-9x EV/EBITDA peers like Grigeo or Tallinna Sadam. Acquirer gains regional scale with arbitrage versus TKM’s 15x or Apranga’s 8x. Key risk: empty sector data and EEG/SFG outliers signal opaque valuation and integration challenges.
Schmidt Brandrådgivning ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Schmidt Brandrådgivning ApS provides a Danish gross-profit platform for Baltic groups to expand fire-safety or advisory services, trading below peers at potential 5-8x EV/EBITDA. Acquirers gain immediate CVR-compliant footprint and margin uplift versus TKM1T’s 4.9% or GRG1L’s 9.7% EBITDA. Key risk: opaque sector data and undisclosed results prevent reliable multiple benchmarking.
Murermester Nikolaj Danhøj ApS
· Denmark
Private Danish company (gross-profit basis)
Deal angle: Erhvervsstyrelsen annual reports (CVR)
Thesis: Murermester Nikolaj Danhøj ApS provides Baltic construction or industrials groups a low-profile Danish bolt-on to access higher-margin local projects and cross-border contracts. At 5-9x EV/EBITDA (Grigeo, Apranga, Tallinna Sadam) the undisclosed gross-profit base could deliver immediate earnings accretion with limited integration lift. Primary risk is opacity on contract backlog and working-capital swings typical of small Danish CVR entities.
Deep Dive
🇱🇹 Deltaco Baltic
Consumer Electronics Wholesale · Lithuania · Acquisition / merger activity
Company Overview
Deltaco Baltic is a Lithuania-based wholesaler of IT accessories and consumer electronics, serving regional retailers and resellers across the Baltic states. With revenue below €10 million, the company operates a distribution platform built on supplier contracts for accessories, peripherals, and small-form electronics. Its scale is modest relative to listed Baltic peers, but the business provides cross-border reach into Estonia and Latvia through established import and logistics channels.
Deal Context
The profile flags explicit acquisition or merger activity, positioning Deltaco Baltic as a potential strategic target for regional retailers or electronics groups seeking Baltic wholesale scale. Likely buyers include listed operators such as APB Apranga or Grigeo Group, or larger Nordic distributors looking to consolidate fragmented Baltic supply chains. The opportunity is framed as a tuck-in acquisition rather than growth equity or founder succession, with interest driven by the ability to secure supplier relationships and regional coverage at a modest multiple.
Valuation Context
Listed Baltic peers trade at EV/EBITDA multiples ranging from 5.0x (Pieno Zvaigzdes) to 8.3x (Apranga), with Grigeo at 5.6x. These figures set a ceiling for a private wholesale business. Applying a 25–35% private-company discount for size, illiquidity, and thin wholesale margins produces a realistic 4.5–6.5x EBITDA range. On a revenue basis, 0.25–0.40x sales is plausible given sector norms and sub-€10 million scale, well below the multiples commanded by higher-margin listed retailers.
Triage Verdict
GO
- Fit: Lithuania-domiciled wholesale platform with documented M&A interest and sector alignment to regional retailers seeking Baltic distribution.
- Red flags: Revenue concentration risk in low-margin wholesale, FX exposure on imports, and limited public operating history as a private entity.
- Next step: Request management introduction via PitchBook contact or local advisor to assess supplier contracts and customer concentration.
Key Risk
Sustained margin compression from thin wholesale spreads and euro import cost volatility could erode the 7–9x EBITDA thesis before a transaction closes.
Bottom line: Small-scale Baltic wholesale asset with credible strategic appeal at a discounted multiple.
