Aug 26 (Reuters) - Private equity firms Summit Partners
and Vista Equity Partners are exploring a potential sale of
Trintech that could value the financial software provider at
about $2 billion, including debt, according to people familiar
with the matter.
Trintech's owners are working with investment bankers at
Deutsche Bank on a sale process that could attract interest from
other private equity firms, the two sources said, requesting
anonymity as the discussions are confidential.
Plano, Texas-based Trintech generates roughly $200 million
in annual revenue and about $90 million in earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, the sources
said. Trintech's owners expect to command a valuation equivalent
to more than 20 times the company's core profits, the sources
added.
Summit Partners and Trintech did not respond to requests for
comment. Deutsche Bank and Vista declined to comment.
Trintech is a provider of cloud-based software that caters
to finance and accounting departments at corporations, helping
them collect, process, and analyze financial information to
improve their business performance.
Trintech, which counts Toyota Motor Corp ( TM ) and
football team Dallas Cowboys among its customers, serves about
4,200 organizations across several industries including retail,
technology, and manufacturing, according to its website. In
2023, Trintech acquired a financial software business from
Fiserv, gaining 400 new customers as part of the deal.
Summit Partners acquired a majority stake in Trintech in
January 2018 from Vista, which first invested in the company in
2015 and continues to hold a stake.
