With a staff of more than 130 professionals, last year it achieved revenues of €10.5m, 8.3m more than in 2017.

A part of the payment has been agreed as contingent, earn-outThe new transaction would be financed entirely from resources available on the group's balance sheet, but without increasing indebtedness.

In other words, the transaction would not entail any carve-out for its shareholders.

TRADE CAPACITY IN ANDALUSIA

If finally approved, the purchase will increase Voztelecom's commercial capacity in Andalusia, one of the geographic areas with the highest growth potential.

Its current low penetration in this autonomous community is a fact, compared to Madrid and Catalonia. There, its commercial capillarity is greater as it has concentrated its commercial activity since its beginnings.

In this sense, with Nethits it will be able to develop and give a better support to the network of distributors and service points of the group in Andalusia from Seville.

  • Expanding its competencies to address the segment of the contact-center.

Last July, it acquired ComyMediaa a Basque company based in San Sebastian, which provides IT services and solutions to companies. for more than twenty years.

This operation enabled it to expand its commercial capillarity in the Basque Country, as well as its range of solutions for the business segment.

With the purchase of Nethits, Voztelecom also fulfils one of the main objectives of its strategic plan presented at the beginning of 2018: to accelerate the planned organic growth through inorganic operations.

This latest development reinforces its leading position in Spain as the leading operator in cloud communications for enterprises.
