Sobre Interfile

Fundada en 1991, Interfile ofrece servicios y soluciones de  gestión de crédito, a la gran mayoría de grandes marcas que operan en el sector financiero del país. Cuenta con más de 1.700 empleados, dos centros de servicios BPO, 28 oficinas operativas y más de 1.400 workstations.

Interfile ve la operación como una oportunidad para poder ofrecer a sus clientes productos de mayor valor.

“Atento ya había adquirido en Septiembre de 2016 la mayoría de las acciones de R Brasil Soluções, que opera en el ámbito de soluciones de recobro” comenta Diego Gutiérrez de Abra-Invest.

Sobre Atento

Es una empresa fundada por Telefónica en 1999, que ofrece soluciones de CRM y BPO a través de plataformas multicanal, incluyendo back office, SAC, service desk, soporte técnico, recobro y ventas. La empresa que opera en 14 países es líder  en el mercado de habla hispana y portuguesa en América Latina, México y España.

En el 2012 Telefónica vendió Atento al grupo de compañías controladas por el fondo de capital riesgo Bain Capital y en el 2014 salió a Bolsa en Wall Street.

Esta compra esta dentro de la estrategia de seguir creciendo en Latinoamérica y  crea el mayor proveedor de servicios BPO de generación de crédito de Brasil, con una cuota de mercado del 10,4% y más de 4.000 profesionales con "una fuerte especialización" en este segmento de actividad.

Análisis corporate finance Atento

Atento está pasando por momentos críticos, su beneficio neto en 2016 registro un retroceso del 92,8% en 2016 con una cifra de$3,4M, aunque duplicó sus ganancias (+131,9%) en el cuarto trimestre, hasta 16,7 millones de dólares (15,5 millones de euros).

La cifra de negocio de Atento, alcanzó los $1.757,5M en 2016, un 1,4% menos con un incremento del 6,5% de los ingresos en América, y descensos del 7% y del 3,1% en Brasil y la región EMEA (Europa, Oriente Próximo y África).

De cara al presente ejercicio, Atento espera que "disminuyan" los vientos en contra, por lo que prevé un crecimiento de su cifra de negocio de entre el 1% y el 5% sin tener en cuenta el impacto del cambio de divisa. Por su parte, proyecta que el resultado bruto de explotación (Ebitda) se incremente entre un 11% y 12%.
