  • Promising new growth drivers

Established in 1999, Adomos was positioned as a start-up of brokerage on the Internet of real estate products for rental investment for individuals. The Group experienced a first phase of expansion between 2003 and 2007 with sales which increased from € 5.4 million to € 20.2 million. At that time Adomos had registered nearly 1 200 housing sales. Starting in 2008, the effects of the crisis were felt with sales that showed a strong downward trend (divided by 4.5 between the high point of 2006 and 2011). The evolution of margins following that of sales with a steady increase between 2003 and 2006 and, from 2008, a continuous erosion concluded by a collapse in 2011.

Adomos then embarked on a phase of redesigning its business model with two main ideas: exploiting its know-how in digital marketing in order to develop an activity of lead generation and to change its real estate offer by expanding it considerably.

Thus, Adomos' activity is currently organized around two complementary businesses: 1/ Purchase and sale of qualified lead, marketed to real estate developers, private wealth professionals and marketing platforms (40% of turnover), 2/ Sale of investment housing (60% of turnover).

Analysis of the figures since 2012 shows that recovery is successful: turnover rose from € 1.25 million to € 5.95 million in 2016, i.e. a cumulative growth of 376%. Profitability also improved significantly, with EBIT margin rising from 5.6% in 2013 to

25.7% in 2016 and Net margin from 6.3% to 33.5%. The volume effect coupled with a

light structure and essentially fixed costs (only 14 employees vs 90 in 2012), generated a strong leverage. Lastly, the balance sheet structure is now fully solid, with December 31, 2016 shareholder equity of € 12.9 million, a cash position of € 1.2 million and no bank debt.

In a market environment that remains buoyant, the prospects prove favorable and are based on 4 axes of development: 1/ widening the depth of the real estate offer in order to increase the conversion rate, 2/ developing qualitatively and quantitatively the sales network to accelerate the number of sales, 3/ to benefit from the leverage

Position in Value Chain

Both for the leads marketing and for the sale of housing, Adomos acts as an intermediary between prospects, real estate developers, sales networks and independent commercial advisors.

Leverage on margin

Adomos now has a strong business model that centers around the leads marketing that brings a recurring level of sales and results and real estate that brings growth and leverage. Thus, between 2013 and 2016, the operating margin was multiplied by 4.5 (from 5.6% to 25.7%) for a turnover multiplied by 3.2.

Financial structure

The financial structure is sound with no financial debt and an available cash position of € 1.2 million. On the other hand, the generation of cash flow is still just sufficient to cover the investments and the WCR.

Management

At the head of the company since its inception, CEO Fabrice Rosset has experienced both phases of expansion and decline. He managed the strong crisis begun in 2008 to save Adomos and solidify the economic model.

EPS Track record

Adomos has delivered 4 beneficiary exercises on the last 5. EPS continues to grow since 2012.

Investment Profile

The principle of this profile is to compare Adomos with its sector over the next 3 years and to see how it is in terms of growth, evolution of results and market prices compared to the peers selected.
